New Zealand photographer Yvonne Todd dramatizes the artifice of the commercial ideal by appropriating the aesthetic conventions of advertising and product photography. Her studio portraits of heavily made-up young women — with their wigs, staged poses and gaudy dated costumes — are character studies of amplified and embellished femininity. The impassive vacant stares of the women in these shots betray the fragility that hides behind their highly stylized appearance.
In 'Self portrait as Christina Onassis', the vacant stare belongs to the artist herself. Todd is in character, disguised as Jackie Onassis' stepdaughter Christina. Borrowing this identity, Todd inserts herself into the wealthy heiress' personal tragedies. Addicted to amphetamines and struggling with body image, Christina Onassis died of a heart attack when she was 37. As she embodies Christina's narrative, absorbed into an 'historical bit part',1 Todd masks her own identity. The fake tan, dyed hair and brown contact lenses are forms of camouflage.
This photograph is a play of pure surface. Hiding behind her adopted persona, Todd's face and body become a veneered façade. Her bronzed skin, its smoothness digitally exaggerated, has the texture of a waxwork figure. Set against a featureless black background, Todd's Christina floats in space. She is disconnected from the real world, plucked from her historical context and embedded within an indeterminate studio setting. In this depthless image space, she seems drained of life. Her deadpan stare and locked jaw convey a haunting stillness. The division between animate and inanimate form collapses as Todd's body becomes an object.
As with all of Todd's portraiture, there is an unsettling awkwardness that permeates the image. Her make-up is slightly smudged while her mouth hangs open. This awkwardness is exaggerated by the photograph's scale: she appears marginally smaller than life-size, lending the image an uncanny sensibility. In Todd's work, as Justin Clemens remarks, 'the gleam of the synthetic reigns over all.'2 With its waxy — almost plastic — pallor, Todd's self portrait resembles a death mask. It memorializes the tragic (and largely forgotten) life of Christina Onassis, and the artist herself.

Imitation does not always flatter.
And for all to laugh with and not at 'er.
But she has a longer tie. As Craig Ferguson pointed out, that's indicative of something in the pants.
Hmmm. I've heard and read that Streep can play anyone. This seems to answer the question "But should she?"
Boston Globe seems to have an explanation, if any. Sounds like Christine Baranski was trying to channel Julie Andrews.

If necessary, you can specify a backup window for the backup job. The backup window is a period of time on week days when the job is permitted to run. If the job exceeds the allowed window, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will automatically terminate it.
The backup window can be helpful if you do not want the data protection job to produce unwanted overhead for the production environment or do not want the job to overlap production hours. In this case, you can define the time interval during which the job must not run.
The backup window affects only the data transport process. Transform operations can be performed on the target location outside the backup window.
The backup window does not affect the process of uploading backup files from the backup cache to the target storage. If Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows has created one or more backup files in the backup cache, and then the backup target becomes available, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will upload backup files to the target location immediately, regardless of the specified backup window.
If you define the backup window for the job that runs periodically at specific time intervals, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will immediately start the job after the denied window is over. All subsequent backup job sessions will be performed according to specified scheduling settings.
The first job session will start at 12:15 AM (since midnight is a reference time for periodically run jobs).
The next job session will start at 4:15 AM.
The job session at 8:15 AM will not be performed as it falls into the denied period of the backup window.
The next job session will start immediately after the denied period is over: at 7:15 PM.
After that, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows will run the job by the defined schedule: at 8:15 PM, 12:15 AM and so on.

Filipino census committee targets hard-to-count population with upcoming fairs
Despite being an ethnic majority in Hawaii, Filipino residents can be difficult to count due to language barriers and sometimes mistrust.
Tuesday, January 14th 2020, 10:01 PM HST by Annalisa Burgos
Community groups rallied for more civic engagement at the State Capitol today.
The free outreach event called "All In for a Better Hawaii" pushes the importance of being counted in U.S. Census and voting in this year's elections.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, each person counted represents $1,800 in federal funding per year over the next decade.
Immigrants are traditionally undercounted. Despite being an ethnic majority in Hawaii, the Filipino Complete Count Committee reports its group is difficult to count due to language barriers and sometimes mistrust.
"It's very difficult to get them to respond to a paper, especially the older generation, and put in all the information that they think might be a little bit intrusive. I think if we make sure that they trust the source, we're able to achieve our objectives," said Bennette Misalucha, committee chair.
The committee says it's hosting three events targeted toward Filipinos to dispel myths about what collected information will be used for, especially for those who are undocumented or are uncertain about their immigration status.
"We're going to have Filipino census fairs across three hard to count populations. So we're going to have one in Waipahu, one in Kalihi and one in Eva Beach," said Annie Sokol, partnership specialist for the U.S. Census Bureau, who is working with community organizations to get the word out.
The Waipahu event will be on February 22 at Waipahu High School from 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. The Eva Beach event will be on March 7 at James Campbell High School. And the Kalihi fair will be on March 21 at a location to be announced.

Stepping into the Spotlight: Alumni Couple Find Successful Landing After Leaps of Faith
Farah Perelmuter can still hear the silence on the other end of the line.
She had just called her mother to break the news: Farah and her husband, Martin, were preparing to quit their jobs and start their own speakers' bureau, an industry the young couple knew nothing about until a few months before that telephone call. The silence that followed lasted quite a while.
"Then, just as I pictured my mother trying to be patient and keep her cool, she replied, 'Well Farah you know you can't live on love alone.' Then she asked, 'And what exactly is a speakers' bureau, anyway?'"
June 1995. Within a single month, Farah and Martin Perelmuter married, moved into a new home, quit their jobs and launched a new business. The then-25-year-olds went from two solid incomes – Farah was in advertising, Martin in corporate law – to zero. Farah's mom was correct – they could not live on love. Instead, they made huge lifestyle changes, cutting out extras and going back to living like students.
But they believed. They ran the business out of a spare room in their Toronto apartment, with a shared phone and a two-drawer filing cabinet. Between the two of them, they did everything. They stayed in that apartment for four years. And then slowly grew.
Today, the alumni couple credit that leap of faith – or, actually, that series of leaps – for landing them in the Spotlight.
That backroom business eventually blossomed into Speaker's Spotlight, one of the largest speakers' agencies in the world with offices in Toronto and Calgary, booking more than 20,000 speaking events in more than 30 countries. The company was selected by Profit Magazine as one of the 100 Fastest-growing Companies in Canada, and co-founders Farah and Martin have twice been named finalists for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year Award.
Profit Magazine ranked Farah as one of Canada's Top 100 Women Entrepreneurs for seven consecutive years. She was also selected as one of Canada's Most Powerful Women: Top 100 through the Women's Executive Network, and named among Canada's Top 20 Women of the Year by The Women's Post.
Farah, BA'91 (Psychology), serves as CEO; Martin, BA'90 (Economics), serves as President.
Still, all these years later, they remember well the early days of the company, when drumming up business was no small feat. "We'd make 50 or 75 cold calls a day. We'd try to get out and network, meet speakers, attend events and meet with potential clients," Martin said. "I was doing sales, accounting, sent out invoices. I was even the company courier, getting on my bike at the end of the day and riding around the city dropping off packages."
In its first year, the company booked 40 speaking engagements – a few "out of sheer hustle."
"In the early days, we managed to find 18 speakers who sort of felt sorry enough for us to let us represent them," Martin said. "It was pretty slow growth for the first five years, but then we hit a tipping point where, all of a sudden, things really started to snowball."
The couple credit a trio of early clients for accelerating the company's success – Paul Henderson, the Canadian hockey player who scored the winning goal in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union; basketball coach Jack Donohue, who coached Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in high school and the Canadian men's national team from 1972-88; and the late Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter, the boxer wrongfully convicted of triple homicide who spent nearly 20 years in prison and whose life story was portrayed in the 1999 movie 'The Hurricane,' starring Denzel Washington.
That trio was having their moment in the spotlight – all at the right time for Spotlight.
Whether a speech motivates, inspires, or expands people's knowledge in particular subject areas, the Perelmuters believe a great speaker can be the spark needed to create change and cause people to take action in their lives. "Our speakers have some amazing messages to share," Farah said. "It feels great to know that people all around the world are being affected and impacted by our speakers.
"A speech can change the world."
The company grew quickly, adding staff each year, moving into larger office spaces in Toronto and expanding its roster of speakers. Today, Speakers' Spotlight sets up hundreds of speaking engagements with clients all over the world each year, drawing from its roster of about 500 speakers.
"My initial goal was to fill one entire drawer with files of clients," Farah said. "Now, we have a room full of filing cabinets, and every time I walk into that room I think about the drawer I was so determined to fill. I can't believe this is our life now. It's mind-blowing."
Over the years, the company has represented politicians (Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) and power players (environmentalists David Suzuki), astronauts (Chris Hadfield) and starship captains (William Shatner), those who play (Olympians Clara Hughes and Silken Laumann, BA'88, LLD'13) and those who pretend (actors Michael J. Fox and Martin Short), as well as Dragons (Kevin O'Leary, MBA'80, and Arlene Dickinson) and those who Do The Right Thing (director Spike Lee).
The company is approached by more than 1,000 speakers annually, but only takes only a handful of new clients each year. They will also reach out to non-clients, if the fit works.
"We can book virtually anyone," Farah said. "The value we bring to clients is we narrow it down and provide the right speaker for their audience. That's where our wisdom comes into play."
The biggest test for speakers, the couple stressed, is not the ovation at the beginning of the speech, it's the ovation – or lack thereof – at the end. "People like Chris Hadfield and Clara Hughes routinely get a standing ovation at the beginning just because of who they are," Martin said. "But they'll get an even bigger ovation at the end because they're really phenomenal speakers."
Though Farah and Martin both attended Western, and lived in the same three-bedroom apartment on Proudfoot Lane, they never met. When Martin and his roommates graduated and moved out of their apartment, three girls moved in. On the night those girls came by to look at the place, only two showed up. The third – Farah – had a night class. The couple found this out during a conversation when they met at a mutual friend's cottage a year and a half later.
Today, the couple are the parents of two teenaged children. And though they didn't cross paths at Western, both have fond memories of the university.
"Everyone I associated with worked hard; the professors I had were fantastic at inspiring me to want to work hard," Farah said. "I remember studying at the library with friends. I remember it closed at 11 p.m., so then we'd all switch over to the Medical Sciences Building and study there.
"Then we'd all go to The Spoke and go dancing. It was so much fun. We talk about Western all the time with our kids. It really was the perfect combination of fantastic education and great friends."

Changes in Select Redox Proteins of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Age-related Macular Degeneration
Alejandra Decanini, Curtis L. Nordgaard, Xiao Feng, Deborah A. Ferrington, Timothy W. Olsen
Purpose: To examine changes of select reduction-oxidation (redox) sensitive proteins from human donor retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) at four stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design: Experimental study. Methods: Human donor eyes were obtained from the Minnesota Lions Eye Bank and graded using the Minnesota Grading System (MGS) into four stages that correspond to stages defined by the age-related eye disease study (AREDS). Protein content in RPE homogenates was measured using Western immunoblotting with protein-specific antibodies. Results: The content of several antioxidant enzymes and specific proteins that facilitate refolding or degradation of oxidatively damaged proteins increased significantly in MGS stage 3. These proteins are involved in the primary (copper-zinc superoxide dismutase [CuZnSOD], manganese superoxide dismutase [MnSOD], and catalase) and secondary (heat shock protein [HSP] 27, HSP 90, and proteasome) defense against oxidative damage. Additionally, the insulin pro-survival receptor exhibited disease-related upregulation. Conclusions: The pattern of protein changes identified in human donor tissue graded using the MGS support the role of oxidative mechanisms in the pathogenesis and progression of AMD. The MGS uses nearly identical clinical definitions and grading criteria of AMD that are used in the AREDS, so our results apply to clinical and epidemiologic studies using similar definitions. Results from our protein analysis of human donor tissue helps to explain altered oxidative stress regulation and cell-survival pathways that occur in progressive stages of AMD.

The Underhanded C Contest
The official perfectly innocent web page for law-abiding good guys
The Underhanded C Contest is an annual contest to write innocent-looking C code implementing malicious behavior. In this contest you must write C code that is as readable, clear, innocent and straightforward as possible, and yet it must fail to perform at its apparent function. To be more specific, it should perform some specific underhanded task that will not be detected by examining the source code.
Every year, we will propose a challenge to coders to solve a simple data processing problem, but with covert malicious behavior. Examples include miscounting votes, shaving money from financial transactions, or leaking information to an eavesdropper. The main goal, however, is to write source code that easily passes visual inspection by other programmers.
C is an ideal language for this contest because of both its universality and its ability to do horrible things. C lets you overwrite stack entries, screw up function pointers, and poison all data at the bit level. C nods encouragingly as you attempt to execute a floating point array. In terms of enforcing program correctness, your typical C compiler is basically the two guards from Swamp Castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
This contest goes for about 3 months every year. The prize was originally a case of beer, which was a huge mistake (the original submissions all came from outside the US.) Now it is a gift certificate to ThinkGeek.com. For the 2015 contest, however, the Nuclear Threat Initiative has generously donated a prize of $1000.

Travis Denning Finds Motivation in Headlining Tour Slots
Olivia Ladd
Travis Denning has found himself on several big tours over the past few years: The "After a Few" singer has opened for everyone from Alan Jackson to Cole Swindell to Lanco. Then, in February and March, he struck out on the Heartbeat of a Small Town Tour -- his first round as a headliner.
The singer-songwriter has picked up touring tips and tricks along the way, and he's well aware of the difference between being an opener and being the star of the show.
"I think it's more stress when it's your own [tour]," Denning told The Boot on the blue carpet at the 2019 CMT Music Awards in June. "Obviously, if everybody shows up, they know your songs and that's awesome, but really you've gotta be the reason that they say that was worth it."
While the pressure is on during headlining slots, it hasn't made Denning buckle. He makes it seem effortless onstage when fans are singing along to his debut single "David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs," but he's also right at home with the audiences on whom he has to make an impression. Because he has both experiences to compare, he knows every show is a chance to play to his fullest ability for the crowd and make a mark on their memories.
"If you go open for somebody and you rock it, they say, 'That was awesome,' but the headliner's probably still gonna beat you. They remember you, but they still went to go see that person," Denning says. "It puts kind of a bigger motivation of giving the fans the best kind of show you can get them."
Denning is currently gearing up to head back out on the road as part of the Get That Man a Beer Tour, which he'll be opening for Riley Green. That trek kicks off on Sept. 5 and runs through mid-December.

Two Bands – Four Decades of Great Music at Bethel Woods
When the brains behind the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts decided to create their courtyards, pavilion and all-around atmosphere, they likely had the June 29th Doobie Brothers/Chicago concert in mind; it seemed to have been made for such a performance.
[amazonify]::omakase::300:250[/amazonify]
These great rock music innovators teamed up to tour this year and the Sullivan County landmark showed them a packed crowd of fans from three generations. Heavy rains could not keep the die-hard fans from watching Chicago's set (it was mainly dry when the Doobies were on) from the lawn, protecting themselves from the elements with some light raingear they brought by wearing plastic bags provided by the good people at Bethel Woods.
Watching the double-headliners was a true lesson in on-stage contrast: The Doobie Brothers were loose and looked like they were having fun as they moved around the stage, sometimes lining up together moving their instruments in a mildly-synchronized fashion and encouraging the crowd to sing with them. Chicago was all business when they hit the stage. These guys just came on and played, yet they were every bit as captivating to watch as the more free-wheeling Doobies.
As for the packed crowd, they served as a testament to two bands who would never let trends dictate their style (we'll give Chicago a mulligan for "Look Away" on Revenge of the 80s).
Some of the most notable parts of the Doobie Brothers' performance were their always-inspiring "Jesus Is Just Alright With Me," and acoustic guitar duet by Patrick Simmons and John McFee, a great rendition of the oldie "Little Bitty Pretty One" and back to their own music and into "Black Water" and "China Grove," when the fans got involved in the singing. I was looking around to see if Al Dunbar tried to sneak in and bootleg the concert, but I guess he knows better now.
Chicago immediately took to the stage by featuring its classic horn section which, sadly, was missing through their 80s hits. The signature jazz-rock rhythms and shared singing parts that defined the band since the beginning were the focal point of their set. While they were nice enough to pas along the NWS severe weather warning, their fans didn't care — form the driving horns in the opening songs to the mellow "Color My World" to "If You Leave Me Now" into the bands mega-hits toward the end, the band named for the "Windy City" made the fans forget about the "Rainy and Windy country."
As an 80s radio show, we can not underscore the importance of these two great groups in overall music history. Both scored several hits in the 80s (The Doobies more so in the early part of the decade and Chicago in the middle), but it was that both kept a high degree of musical integrity when they went into the studio with low regard for the "glitz and glam" that hurt rock music in the 1980s. One might argue that bands like the Doobies, Chicago, the Rolling Stones shielded Classic Rock from the "Hair Bands" that poisoned the mainstream radio stations of the time.
Also, credit should also go to the staff at Bethel Woods for being able to manage the large crowd as they were invited to the pavilion for shelter and help those who remained on the lawn shield themselves from the hefty rains. The fans, also, were very respectful of he grounds and there was virtually no litter to be seen during the show.
Information of future concerts in the Chicago/Doobie Brothers 2008 tour can be found here.
Information on upcoming shows at Bethel Woods can be found on their website, as well as hours for their recently-opened Woodstock museum.

Tison Cave was walking with friends when they came across a boxing gym in the community of Fairview, a neighbourhood within the urban core of Halifax.
Cave walked in the door, took a look around and knew instantly he had discovered a special place. From the time he first stepped in the ring, Cave knew he wanted to have a career in boxing.
What his classmates didn't know at the time was Cave would eventually become a world champion, capturing the World Boxing Association super bantamweight title, becoming the first Nova Scotia-born boxer to win a world title on home soil in November 2015 in Dartmouth.
Cave, who made his professional boxing debut in 2006, visited the Red Tribe Boxing Club in Eskasoni on Jan. 24, telling members of the club his story and teaching life lessons, this after a number of unexpected deaths shook the community earlier this month.
"When I heard the story from Barry (Bernard) about the deaths, I knew that I had an obligation to come down and talk to these kids and tell them that life isn't easy, just like boxing isn't easy," said Cave.
Close to 50 children were in attendance for Cave's visit, including Ethan Marshall of Eskasoni, who is considered to be Red Tribe Boxing's top fighter.
During the event, Cave signed a boxing glove and gave it to Marshall, telling him he wanted the glove signed and returned when Marshall becomes the next world champion.
Marshall, who first joined the boxing program four years ago with friends, was lost for words when asked what it means to be considered the club's star boxer.
Professional boxer Tison Cave, left, of Halifax speaks with members of the Red Tribe Boxing Club in Eskasoni on Jan. 24. Cave spoke to the kids about his career and life choices.
For Cave, it's not about becoming a world champion, it's about providing motivation and encouragement to youth.
"If everyone in this community can be healthy and stay healthy and be happy, they're the real champions, not me," said Cave. "The best thing I ever did in my life is raising my daughter and my daughter's healthy and beautiful and that's what I take pride in and just being a healthy person.
Cave, who signed a contract with Fisticuffs Sports Management last October, has a professional record of 32 wins, 13 of those by way of knockout, and three losses.
He's only the second Nova Scotian to ever win a world title. George Dixon was crowned the world bantamweight champion in 1888.
Red Tribe Boxing head coach Barry Bernard was pleased Cave took the time to visit the club and speak with the members.
"I wanted to bring a professional fighter to an Aboriginal community to show that dreams are possible," said Bernard. "Everyone has been through rough times, there's not many people in our community that hasn't been through rough times.
Red Tribe Boxing has 14 registered fighters and will host its fifth boxing card next month. The card will feature 19 bouts and will take place on Feb. 23 at the Eskasoni Elementary and Middle School gym.
As for Cave, he plans to return to the Eskasoni community in the near future.


Nowadays any corridor be it casual or professional has usually a training monitor. Thanks to GearBest we had the opportunity to experience one of the bracelets for athletes which is on sale at the store, the smart bracelet Xiaomi MI Band 1S, I want to thanks in advance the opportunity they gave us.
Obvious the Xiaomi MI Band 1S does not have all the features that most reputable branded watches have, but has all of the necessary for those who like to monitor their workouts.
The Xiaomi Mi Band which is commonly referred to as the Mi Band is an activity tracker that is fitted with top of the range heart rate sensor. Mi Band 1S is the latest version of it and comes with improvements that makes this gadget unbeatable.
There is no significant difference in the packaging of the original band and the 1S. In the box, there is a user guide, a USB charger, the wristband and the tracker. The packaging is sleek and minimalist and yet well done allowing for shipping without damage to the contents.
The new band pulse is still one of the lightest activity bands weighing 14.5 grams. In addition, they come in a variety of colors and the band has been improved making it more durable. It has been fitter with a smart vibration alarm that allows you to wake up gently. Furthermore, the band can be linked to the user's phone enhancing the security and protection of personal data and notifying the user of incoming calls. It has been designed to withstand high and low temperatures, withstand being dropped and to be resistant to water and corrosion.
Mi Band 1s performance has improved significantly with the inclusion of a heart rate scanner that the user can use on demand depending on the need. This could be in sleep monitoring or while engaging in physical activities such as running. The band also has an option of sharing the achievements with others on twitter. Having been fitted with a Bluetooth chip of premium quality, monitoring of activity records has become easier.
The 45Mah battery used in the band is extra thin at 8mm. When fully charged, it lasts up to thirty days which is about four times the duration served by regular fitness and activity bands. However, increased use of the heartrate sensor depletes the battery quicker.
This Mi Band comes with a USB cable charger which has a smaller sized charging dock and a flat design making it easy to carry around. The battery takes less than two hours to be fully charged.
The Mi band 1S have aluminum alloy sensor fitters and a hypoallergenic silicone band. The improved and imbedded heartrate sensor allows for accurate recordings as long as the sensors are touching the skin. The level of accuracy is further indicated by the high consistency level in terms of the recordings. This band gives readings of heart rate as well as that of steps making it more detailed. The step tracker is considered to be less accurate though compared to the sleep tracker.
The app was easy to use but with the new improvements, it is much easier and integrate with other social and fitness apps. The user can sync with the Mi Band app to see the sleep and fitness records which ultimately enhances lifestyle improvement. The app is also essential in locating the band as it tells the band to vibrate and light up so long as it is positioned within the Bluetooth range.

Sheffield: Print, Protest and Poetry, 1790-1810
Adam James Smith
Posted on July 7, 2016 by Adam James Smith
Sheffield: Print, Protest and Poetry, 1790-1810 is an ever-growing digital anthology of protest poetry printed in Sheffield's radical press at the end of the eighteenth century.
Directed by Dr. Hamish Mathison and researched by Dr. Adam James Smith, the anthology was born of an AHRC-funded cultural engagement project focusing on the full collections of The Sheffield Register (1787-1794) and The Sheffield Iris (1794-1825), newspapers held in University Library Special Collections. The Register was edited by Joseph Gales, the Iris by Sheffield's legendary poet and prolific champion of cause, James Montgomery.
Writing under the close scrutiny of suspicious local authorities both the Register and the Iris presented their most controversial material in a section referred to affectionately by readers as "Poetry Corner." This section saw the publication of a different poem each week (either written by a Sheffield resident or aggregated from elsewhere) but usually addressed to one of a series of recurrent themes: religious integration, racial equality, worker's rights, universal access to education, and political enfranchisement for all.
An overarching concern was that if the government could not legally be criticized, then there remained no safe-guard against tyranny. As one reader's poem warned in April 1793, this seemed to be increasingly the case:
We may speak (it is true) if we mind what we say;
But to speak all we think, will not suit in our day.
These lines proved prophetic, with the Register coming to an abrupt close a few months later. Charged with "conspiracy against the government," Gales was forced to abandon the paper to start a new life in America as a fugitive.
The Sheffield: Print, Protest Poetry, 1790-1810 project has been releasing a different poem every week, and online readers have been surprised and excited by how prescient they have proved. One poem titled "On the Effects of Gold" warned that political reform was never likely whilst politicians were more interested in lining their own pockets. This poem was made live on the Sheffield: Print, Protest Poetry, 1790-1810 website the day before the Panama Papers story broke.
The first installment of the anthology focuses on poems printed between 1794 and 1796, marking the transition from the Register to the Iris. This transition was brought about when the editor of the Register was charged with conspiracy against the government and forced to flee to America. There will also be a printed anthology titled Poetry, Conspiracy, Radical in Sheffield (Spirit Duplicator, 2016), and new recordings of some of these poems have already been released on Soundcloud. We also have a Podcast, which seeks to situate these poems in broader national contexts. You can follow Sheffield: Print, Protest and Poetry, 1790-1810 on Facebook and Twitter.

'My Son Could've Died': NJ Cops Under Fire for Wild Arrest Video
WARNING: The footage is violent and some viewers may find it disturbing
By Tracie Strahan and Ida Siegal	• Published at 8:48 am on May 20, 2019
Video widely circulated on social media captures the rough arrest of a 19-year-old New Jersey man in Dover early Sunday
It's not clear what happened prior to the footage; Cyprian Luke was being arrested for failing to show in court on an unrelated matter
Dover's public safety director said the Morris County prosecutor's office is investigating and he could not comment further
WARNING: The footage is violent and some viewers may find it disturbing.
Authorities are investigating after video surfaced on social media showing New Jersey police punching a 19-year-old suspect in the face as he was pinned to the ground, then dragging him across a street with one shoe over the weekend.
Cyprian Luke, of Morristown, was a "fugitive wanted for aggravated assault" when Dover police tried to take him into custody early Sunday, the local mayor and public safety director said at a news briefing Monday. He allegedly resisted arrest, they said, and the aftermath played out on shocking cellphone video.
Calling the footage "disturbing," the mayor confirmed the attorney general and the Morris County prosecutor's office are investigating. The three officers involved, one of whom is a sergeant, have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
The exact sequence of the video clips isn't clear, and News 4 does not have information on what happened prior to the events seen unfolding in the footage.
In one clip, Luke is seen pressed against the ground, his hands seemingly holding his head as one officer pushes his body into the pavement. The cops are telling him to put his hands behind his back.
"Put your hands behind your back!" one officer screams. Then Luke is punched twice in the face. "Stop resisting!" Another appears to grip Luke by the neck. His face turns purple as officers yell, "Roll over onto your stomach" as at least three of them hold Luke down by the head and each arm.
At another point, Luke is seen sideways on the ground, one officer holding onto his arm as the person shooting the video hurls a number of slurs and curses the officers' way. Then, at least four cops are seen tousling with Luke on the ground. His face is bloodied, his head pressed into the pavement as about half a dozen officers press him to the ground and put him in handcuffs.
In another clip, two officers are seen hoisting a handcuffed Luke up by his arms. His head bends toward the ground as his arms are lifted higher into the air by the two officers. One of the witnesses recording asks for an officer's badge number.
"Shut the f--- up," the officer says.
Later, the officers are seen hauling Luke off down the street, his pants well below his waist. He also appears to be missing a shoe. The officers appear to be dragging him to a waiting ambulance.
Ultimately, about 35 officers responded to the fray. Some ended up with minor injuries. The public safety director declined to comment on the police tactics seen in the video, but said officers are trained to ramp up force "one notch at a time." He declined to say whether the officers followed protocol in this case.
Meanwhile, dozens of people protested outside the Dover police headquarters Sunday night, including Luke's mother, Mary Yurley.
"My son could've died, he was blue in one video where he's being choked and maced for no reason," Yurley said. "My son's not resisting he was not being able to comply with what the officer was telling him to do."
Another protester, Kisha Pinnock, echoed Luke's mother's statements, saying the video shows he couldn't move.
"They has a knee in his stomach and they were saying, turn around turn around," Pinnock said. "He couldn't even turn around but yet when he couldn't turn around then they are still punching him in the face."
Luke was arraigned on Monday, sporting a black eye and multiple bruises. Details on an attorney for him weren't immediately available. He's due back in court on May 23.


Patsy Cline enjoyed a tumultuous ten years at the top. Her short life, so cruelly taken in a plane crash in 1963, has been commemorated in Hollywood movies, books and stage shows. She broke the mould of what women could achieve in music and is now revered far beyond the world of country music as one of the most influential female singers of the 20th century. 50 of her signature songs are included here on 2CDs including Walking After Midnight, Crazy and I Fall To Pieces.
Also the DVD, the best of Patsy Cline on film featuring 16 great performances include She's Got You, Crazy and So Wrong.

Now a little one can have a bath or shower without hurting delicate skin when you use Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash.
Love the brand so bought for the little one. Left skin soft and clean, without any sign of irritation. No harsh artificial dyes or perfumes, lathers easily, worth the money!
Great product! I was so worried about finding a product for our babies gentle skin. We use tons of their products and decided to stick with them for our little one. No complaints! Great smell, left her super soft and smelling great! And a little goes a long way. Definitely worth the cost.
Gentle on skin, I used it once when i ran out of my soap and even left my skin feeling soft, all natural.
I always buy this whenever I have a newborn. It's never burned my kids eyes not has it dried out their skin and hair. It smells amazing and for the price it's worth it! Repeat customer!
I love this shampoo and body wash for my baby it is my go-to product. I have a hard time wanting to try something new because I just love this product so much and the smell is amazing my daughter says her brother smells like peaches but to me he just smells amazing.
I have dry eye and my eye doctor told me to get a baby shampoo and dilute with water to wash my eye lashes. Knowing most "no tear" baby shampoos will sting. I decided to pay the extra money and use Burt's Bees and glad I did. I have now been using it for a few years and it has helped my dry eye symptoms without stinging my eye.
For those times you need it.
I am a true believer in Burt's Bees unscented baby wash. I've not only used this on my child during a poison ivy exposure, but my partner as well. Come to think of it, its great for my husband as he tends to chafe and sometimes scented products make that worse. I've used this stuff for multiple reasons ranging from my daughter to my husband and its our go to for clean, unscented and gentle.
A bit expensive for what it is offering. It does smell good. Not too strong. But other products are more affordable and does exactly the same.
I picked up Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash for myself as I have sensitive skin and eczema... It was OK, it smelled good but I'll stick with my original products!
Very pricy, almost 10.00 a bottle and does not lather and wash babies very well . The scent is ok , smells a little like honey . I do appreciate the organic factor but there are just too many other others like it now that don't cost as much .
I love that this is all natural & smells so good(for having no fragrance added)! It helps keep my baby's skin feel good & silky! Oh and his hair, it looks so good & clean. I only bathe him every other day(pushing 3months old, so not very dirty), & his hair still looks good on day two!
I absolutely love using the Burt's Bee Baby Shampoo and wash on my son. With him having such sensitive skin this is by far the best product and plus it smells amazing.
I definitely love Burt's Bees Baby collection and have purchased many of their products! We do love this Shampoo and Wash but find that their original Shampoo and Wash is more sudsy, aside from that I would say they are similar. We love that they do not add harsh chemicals and we've been using this since my daughter was a newborn, so that's 15 months, and she never once cried from it burning her eyes. I would definitely recommend this product and their other products !
