To be or … note!
A Performance featuring rap music and Shakespeare's verses.
Five people cannot make a decision; whether it is because of cowardice, because of love or for convenience, they leave their choice to destiny.
Rap music will introduce every story and each actor will be challenged to tell his story with words and … with notes!
This play presents Shakespeare in an entertaining way; instigating different interpretations of well known stories. It casts a magnifying glass over human nature and becomes a tool to face the deep themes within Shakespeare. The creative support of the music demonstrates the function of pentameter in a unique way.
Attracting a younger audience to the work of Shakespeare, To Be or Note offers a whole new experience of theatre. The piece explores metaphors that stimulate imagination and gives space to irony without betraying the Classical text.

Ecological Health: Society, Ecology and Health Vol: 15
Maya K. Gislason
Advances in Medical Sociology
Drawing on ecosystem thinking, complexity and postnormal science, Ecological Health offers a radical new way of thinking about the health issues of the 21st Century. This volume reflects on recent social scientific engagement with Ecosystem Health research and practice and sets out a vision for the future. While significant links between human health and the environment are increasingly evident, how to make sense of the interdependence of human health on natural systems is posing significant challenges. Ecological health is a new approach used by medics, public health practitioners, veterinarians, as well as social and natural scientists who study health at the nexus between human, animal and ecological systems. This volume is a reference tool offering a sociological analysis of the interrelationship between society, earth systems and health as conceptual frameworks. The authors provide methodological tools for conducting social science research that integrates social, natural and medical systems. It will appeal to a broad audience of researchers and practitioners who currently work in the arena of ecology and health and as well as those interested in expanding their research.

Dmitry Rybolovlev
19th-century painting; 20th-century painting
Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, whose parents were both doctors, attended medical school before developing a business that offered alternative medical treatments. He then started an investment fund, which eventually led him to gain a controlling interest in Uralkali, Russia's largest producer of potassium fertilizer. (Rybolovlev sold his stakes in Uralkali for about $6.5 billion in 2010 and 2011.)
In addition to his wide-ranging business activities, Rybolovlev is an avid art collector whose holdings include works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Mark Rothko, among many others. His purchases have not been without problems—he was involved in a long-running legal battle with the Swiss art dealer Yves Bouvier, whom he accused of defrauding him by selling artworks at prices well above market value; for some 38 artworks he claimed to have overpaid $1 billion. One of the works in question was Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, which Rybolovlev famously sold in 2017 at Christie's in New York for $450.3 million, the most ever paid for an artwork at auction.
In July 2020, Monaco's Court of Revision upheld a lower court's ruling dismissing criminal charges against Bouvier, citing "the investigations had been conducted in a biased and unfair manner under conditions which seriously and lastingly compromised the balance between the parties." Though Bouvier declared it "a total and definitive victory" at the time, Rybolovlev's lawyers, according to the New York Times, countered "This outcome has come about for purely procedural reasons and not because of an absence of evidence against Yves Bouvier." Rybolovlev then took the case to Geneva, where a court there ruled against him in September 2021, saying that the case had been resolved in Monaco. In July 2022, the Geneva court overturned its previous ruling on appeal, writing, "At this stage, the thesis put forward by the plaintiff is plausible."
There is a separate ongoing investigation of corruption against Rybolovlev into whether he allegedly used his influence—including tickets to the storied soccer team AS Monaco FC, which he owns—to sway Monaco law enforcement officials toward his side.
Rybolovlev is also well-known for his portfolio of expensive properties, including two chalets in Gstaad, Switzerland, for which he paid a reported $130 million apiece, and a Palm Beach mansion formerly owned by Donald Trump, which he snapped up for $95 million. Then there are two Greek islands, formerly belonging to Athina Onassis, for $150 million, and a New York City penthouse for $88 million—the most ever paid for an apartment in New York at the time he acquired it, in 2011.

The diets and lifestyles of the long-lived people in Blue Zones have many things in common, but the specifics depend on the location.
Though we think of Japan as a country with high seafood consumption, on Okinawa only 1 percent of the diet consists of fish. The traditional Okinawan diet—lower in calories than typical American diets—includes lots of soy, sweet potato, goya (bitter melon), brown rice, seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, and turmeric (as a spice and tea). Pork (all cuts of the pig, not just the lean ones) is a big part of the diet. Elder Okinawans have typically been lean throughout their lives. At meals, they eat only until they are 80 (not 100) percent full, a Confucian practice known as hara hachi bu.
They also have a sense of purpose (referred to as ikigai) and a strong social network (moai) that provides emotional, spiritual, and financial support. Physical activity is a natural part of their lives. People in their 90s (and even older) can be seen riding mountain bikes; practicing karate, kendo, or tai chi; working in the garden; and even playing soccer. Celebrations are held at age 99, with commemorative family photos taken.
The traditional Sardinian diet is low in calories and consists largely of whole grains, beans, and potatoes that are grown locally, along with nuts, herbs, small amounts of fruit, little meat, some sheep or goat cheese, limited wine, and no fish. In present-day Sardinia, however, the diet veers from the traditional, with a lot of olive oil, more fish and meat, fewer beans and potatoes, and more calories—similar to the Mediterranean diet we often associate with the rest of Italy.
On Ikaria, Greece, the traditional diet is rich in vegetables and fruits and includes legumes, some fish, olive oil, red wine, and limited amounts of meat, sugar, and dairy (except for goat milk). Relatively few people smoke.
The Nicoyan diet in Costa Rica is rich in corn and beans as well as colorful fruits such as marañón, the fruit of the cashew tree that's rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants. The diet is high in fiber and low in dairy.
Seventh-Day Adventists in Loma Linda typically avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. Those who are consistently vegetarian (about 40 percent of that population compared to 5 percent of the total U.S. population) have a diet that's rich in legumes (including soy), nuts, and whole grains.

President Trump, revealing his erstwhile-unknown ambition to be commissioner of the league, declared that all the kneelers should be fired.
Here are two instances, and I'm sure there are others, where a group of enthusiasts have come to realize the new technology had lessened the pleasure it has promised to increase.
I felt fooled and foolish. I liked Mark McGuire. I still do. I think he was a good man who made some really bad decisions. I'm sure he regrets them. He never asked to be the "savior of baseball." Neither did Sammy Sosa, who also has been linked to steroids.

Kiwi comic folk duo Flight Of The Conchords book their third stadium show in Perth. Madness.

Well, they've had to add yet another show, this time a third date at Perth's Challenge Stadium on Friday 20 July, as the two prior stadium shows have both sold out.
This is in addition to their sold-out shows at Sydney's Opera House and Entertainment Centre, Wollongong's WIN Entertainment Centre, and Melbourne's Plenary.
There are still tickets for their second Melbourne show, and Brisbane, Newcastle and Adelaide. Tickets for the third Challenge Stadium date go on sale from 9am Friday 1 June through Ticketmaster.

The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain name is the most convenient way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, so, in case you need to edit any one of these records, you will be able to do it by using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain you are trying to access. In this way the site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix "ns" or "dns" and each and every domain name has at least two NS records. There's no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a website hosting provider is going to use depends exclusively on their preference.
Managing the NS records for any domain registered inside a shared hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain, but even of multiple domains at once when you intend to point them all to the same hosting provider. Identical steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domains to our platform for the reason that transfer procedure will not change the name servers automatically and the domains will still direct to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with a few clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for instance, it's going to have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account also, not only the one they are created for.
If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to handle the NS records of every domain registered inside it easily. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is essentially an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything related to your web presence, comes with a very simple and intuitive interface. The section in which you will find your domains isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain address and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a several mouse clicks. You are also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each of your domain names uses right now and if they are the ones required to forward that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your website, especially if it is a business one, and you may use these name servers for any other domain name which you want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.


Orkney's bid to host the 2023 Island Games is one step closer to reality after it received the backing of the International Island Games Association (IIGA) Executive Committee.
Following an inspection visit to Orkney by an IIGA delegation in November 2017, a report was presented at the Committee meeting at the end of March and the IIGA has recommended that Orkney can successfully host the 2023 event.
The final decision, however, will be taken by all 24 member islands at the IIGA AGM, which takes place on 7th July in Gibraltar, the host for the next Games in 2019. Orkney's Bid Committee, which includes representatives from the Orkney Island Games Association, Orkney Islands Council and EventScotland, on behalf of Scottish Government, will present their proposals at the AGM and respond to any questions member islands might have.
Orkney has been a member of the International Island Games Association since its inception in 1985 and for a number of years has had aspirations to host the Games. The recent development of high-class sports facilities has put Orkney in prime position to secure this international multi-sport event, which would attract up to 2,000 visitors to the islands.
The event is also a chance to celebrate the best of Orkney through its place, produce and people as well as opportunities to create a lasting sporting legacy for the islands, whether through participation or the development of coaching and other supporting roles.
The host islands can choose between 12 and 14 different sports for their Games. Following the bid committee's close work with local sporting bodies, the 2023 Island Games is set to feature 13 sports – Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Clay Shooting, Football, Golf, Gymnastics, Lawn Bowls, Road Cycling, Sailing, Squash, Swimming and Triathlon.
Liam McArthur MSP, Orkney 2023 Bid Chairman, said: "A lot of hard work has gone into preparing Orkney's bid to host the 2023 Island Games and we're delighted to receive this positive endorsement from the International Island Games Executive Committee. It follows a highly successful IIGA inspection visit last year, which showcased what Orkney has to offer in terms of excellent sporting facilities and a real appetite to put on a high quality Games.
"As well as the strong support we have had from those involved in all 13 sports chosen for the Games, a key part of our bid has been to develop a strong accommodation model. Recognising the growing popularity of Orkney as summer tourism destination, we have taken account of this and have focused on school and community halls to help provide the majority of our accommodation solutions. This is a model that has been used successfully by hosts of previous NatWest International Island Games.
Held every two years, the NatWest International Island Games brings together the 24 member islands of the IIGA to compete in friendly competition and bringing islands together.

In Dennis Williams's hometown, personal connections fuel small businesses.
If the heart of a small town is small business, Dennis Williams, '65, helps keep Quincy, Illinois, beating. A board member of a local bank as well as a media company, he attributes his success in financial analysis and investment banking to his UChicago education.
Entering the business school more than 50 years ago, he calls it "the most intense but stimulating time in my life." To help secure the University's tradition of excellence, he's made planned gifts to Chicago Booth: a bequest in 2014 and a charitable gift annuity in 2015. The CGA made financial sense for Williams, who is widowed with no children and who appreciates its income tax advantages.
Williams majored in economics at Northwestern University and then pursued an MBA for the practical training it offered. After a few years as a purchasing agent for the General Services Administration, he joined First National Bank of Chicago, a move that eventually led to more work in investment banking, securities, analysis, and portfolio management at several firms in Chicago, including Commonwealth Edison.
In 1980 Williams pooled together with several other investors to organize a new state‑chartered commercial bank in suburban Bolingbrook, Illinois. This opportunity was "the most exciting thing I ever conceived. I was 40 years old ... but had never 'started' anything." He and his wife remained in Chicago for another decade until she suggested moving 300 miles back to their hometown of Quincy, both to care for their aging parents and to take on a new bank‑investment project.
In Quincy, a town of about 40,000 residents, he turned his attention to reorganizing the First Bankers Trust Company. As Williams sees it, community banks specialize in funding small businesses and providing personal service that the big banks can't.
While continuing his Quincy Media and bank work, Williams also serves on five charity boards and committees, such as the Quincy Society of Fine Arts and the town's Good Samaritan Home. He is also an amateur historian of Illinois and regional history.

This selection of little-known evidence and anecdotes is American heritage with the uninteresting elements skipped over. Richard Shenkman and Kurt Reiger have exposed a variety of tales approximately hoaxes, innovations, secrets and techniques, and infrequent incidents -- many concerning the main recognized and robust humans in America.
Even historians locate that One-Night Stands with American historical past gains attention-grabbing tales they by no means knew. Now up to date with proof and anecdotes from the final two decades, this quantity is a treasure trove of outstanding tales that may startle, entertain, and tell you. And the easiest half is that they're all true!

Q: Configure Java heap space with Spark I'm trying to create a file with few hundred mega bytes by oversampling a small array in spark and save as object file to hdfs system created by spark-ec2 script:
//Accepted arguments
val URI = args(0)
val repNum = args(1).toInt

//Create a LabeledPoint array of size 2
val labelPts = sc.parallelize(Array(LabeledPoint(1.0, Vectors.dense(1.0, 0.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.0, 8.0)),
  LabeledPoint(1.0, Vectors.dense(3.0, 1.0, 2.0, 8.0, 6.0, 9.0, 9.0))))

//Oversampling repNum LabeledPoints from the array above
val overSample = labelPts.takeSample(true, repNum, 1)

//output oversampling result as object
sc.parallelize(overSample).saveAsObjectFile(URI)

the cluster is created by script:
spark-ec2 -k spark -i ~/.ssh/spark.pem -s 1 launch my-spark-cluster

and my bundled spark application is submitted by script:
./spark-submit \
--class SimpleApp \
--master spark://ec2-52-1-94-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com:7077 \
--executor-memory=4g \
--driver-memory=4g \

~/oversample-assembly-1.0.jar \
hdfs://ec2-52-1-94-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com:9000/user/root/oversampleOut \
70000000

Then it throws a EXCEPTION: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. I don't know what's wrong with it because if my repNum is set to 6000000, there will be no error and the output file is around 490m, so I suspect that the java heap space is still capped by 512m, however the I've set --executor-memory=4g and the worknode in this cluster has 7.5GB memory. What's the problem here?

A: You can provide extra java options using sparks run time option spark.executor.extraJavaOptions also decrease the memory used for caching using spark.storage.memoryFraction  for more information follow this link

Author Interview - Curtis Jobling
I'm incredibly excited to be interviewing Curtis Jobling, author of the superb Wereworld, on the blog today! Huge thank you to him for doing this at extremely short notice. You can check out my 5 star review of Wereworld at The Bookbag
YYY. When you close your eyes and imagine your readers, what do you see?
CJL I imagine lovers of fantasy and horror, first and foremost. While I realise there's an age recommendation for the book, I like to think of that as a cinema rating, a PG or 12 certification if you will. Don't get me wrong, younger, more capable readers should have a hoot reading Rise of the Wolf, but I very much imagine the novel will appeal to older audiences, lovers of fantasy literature of all ages. Ultimately I wrote it for myself, and it's the kind of book I'd pick up to read.
YYY. Okay, this is the big question for me - I've read that you have a 2 book deal for Wereworld but am so in love with the world you've created that I'm hoping for lots more in the future! Are you planning on writing more books about Drew, or at least others set in Lyssia?
Most certainly. When it was pitched initially to Puffin it was with the vision that it would be a long serial of books, and that's what I've always had in my head. 3,4 and 5 are loosely outlined in my noggin, and as soon as we know how the first books have been received I'd love to get back to Lyssia (and beyond!) to write more of Drew's adventures. The world itself has such a vast scope that I can envisage other characters having books of their own, but I don't want to be jumping the gun!
YYY: Best news I've heard so far in 2011!
YYY:What's your favourite werewolf movie? (And, if I can sneak in a sub-question, any chance of seeing Drew on screen in the future?)
My favourite is probably still An American Werewolf in London. I love the mix of horror and comedy that Landis achieved in the movie, and it still has the most memorable transformation scenes committed to film. As for a big screen version of Wereworld, I guess if folk come knocking it's something we can talk about! ;-) Again, though, I want to concentrate on making the books the best they can possibly be. If I can make a success of the novels then other things could fall into place as a result. As I work in film and television already there's always a degree of crossover in my work, and I'm probably guilty of writing in a cinematic style as it is.
YYY: Agree with you on AAWIL, although I may be one of the few people with a soft spot for An American Werewolf in Paris…
YYY:In the acknowledgements for Wereworld: Rise Of The Wolf you mention that you're a keen role-playing gamer. How much of Wereworld was influenced by your experiences gaming?
I think my storytelling is influenced by the fact that I used to run a lot of games in my youth, and I always got a kick out of surprising the players with the twists and turns of an adventure. I never ran "ready written" games, they were always scenarios of my own invention, so that's where I cut my chops as a writer. They were often epic quest adventures, so the fact that Wereworld takes on that form should come as no surprise to the guys I gamed with down the years.
YYY: If you could be any Werelord, what animal would you choose?
It's got to be the werewolf, hasn't it? Still the coolest beast on the block. I'd suggest another of the Werelords from the first book but fear I'd be spoiling the appearance of the character!
YYY: Do you listen to music when you're writing? If so, what was your soundtrack when writing Wereworld: Rise Of The Wolf?
I do tend to have music on in the background when I write, or often the radio. As large parts of Rise of the Wolf were written at night when the kids were in bed, I had the company of Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie on the radio, but I'd often pop my own music on as well; Arcade Fire, Laura Marling, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Low Anthem, The Avett Brothers, that kind of thing. I'm becoming a bit of a folky/Americana fan in my advancing years, and find that kind of music the perfect accompaniment while writing.
YYY: You have a great online presence with a fantastic website and a very active Twitter account. How important do you think communication with readers is to authors today?
When I was younger the only way of reaching an author was to appear at a signing, and even then the most one could realistically hope for was a stolen question that could be briefly answered. The online community is a great way of reaching out to authors and creatives, and is the kind of thing I'd have loved to have been able to exploit when I was starting out. I've run a blog for many years now (http://badablingthing.blogspot.com) which has a great deal of my artwork on as well as various ramblings. With the release of the novel I'll be putting more frequent updates on there to let folk know what I'm up to. There's also a wonderful Official Wereworld fans page on Facebook and an Official Puffin Wereworld site with all kinds of good stuff on for fans of the books to explore: www.wereworldbooks.com
YYY: Somewhat embarrassingly, I've just realised that my review of the book contains the word 'incredible' four times in seven lines. Are there any words you're prone to over-using in your writing?
You should ask my editor, Shannon Park, what I'm most guilty of – 'instinctively' makes far too many appearances. I have to be mindful of avoiding the 'repeated word' in my manuscripts, and was delighted to hear from Shannon that she's an 1/8th of the way through reading the first draft of book two and (to her astonishment) there's no sign of a repeated word yet! My lovely better half, Emma, also acts as an editor with my work early on, polishing up the various grammatical errors I make along the way. This is usually on account of me 'spilling' the story out as I'm writing and missing silly things in a rush to tell the tale.
YYY: What are you reading at the moment?
I'm about to pick up the second book of Joe Abercrombie's awesome fantasy series, The First Law. The other book that I'm a huge fan of and regularly read is of the comic variety: The Walking Dead. Thought the recent Darabont TV adaption was simply stunning, but you can't beat the source material.
YYY: What's next for Curtis Jobling?
I have a new kids show going to air on CBeebies later this year, Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, of which we're making 52 episodes. That's looking terrific and I'm very excited about it. I've also got a number of other shows in various stages of development with broadcasters and studios around the globe. I'm hoping to get back to more writing as soon as possible – I was working on the manuscript for another, younger fantasy novel when Puffin picked up Rise of the Wolf, and had to put that down to work on the second Wereworld book, so I'm getting back to that right now.
YYY: A huge thank you for doing this interview, Curtis, and the very best of wishes for Wereworld in the future and for all of your other projects.

Retro Review: The Great Gatsby


This question came up on one of the forums I am on recently. There were many conflicting responses, often including discussion about various macronutrients (fat, protein, carbohydrates) and micronutrients (minerals, vitamins etc), the evils of sugar, cholesterol and saturated fats, the need for lots of fruit or grains etc etc. A lot of people also went into great detail about maximum and minimum percentages for fats, carbs and protein.
I believe in KISS, so I try to keep it simple with easy to follow rules for my way of eating. As I have to eat this way for the rest of my life I do not want an excessively complicated food selection system.
My definition of a balanced diet for a type 2 diabetic (me) is pretty basic and not in terms of percentages of anything. The basic description is simple, although the personal investigation creating the way of eating I follow today was fairly complex. The links at the foot of this post describe the journey to this point.
I let my meter show me my carbohydrate limits for the time of day and the meal.
I let common sense and satiety limit my protein and fat portions.
I include a reasonably wide variety of vegetables in my menu, favouring fresh and seasonal vegetables where possible.
I also include fruits but those are limited to minimise blood glucose spikes.
Variety in choices of meats, fish, seafood, dairy, vegetables and fruits makes the menu interesting and also improves the chances of getting all needed vitamins and micronutrients.
Excess of any macronutrient is not wise.
Excessive restriction of any macronutrient is just as unwise.
I posted the recipe for a delicious Large New York Baked Low Carb Cheesecake based on one posted by Angie, Granny Red, on the ADA forum a couple of years ago. It is a rather big cheesecake which I cut into 16 portions of 6gms carb each.
Since then I have experimented several times with a reduced size because I found the large cake was too big for our needs. This is the recipe for those who prefer a smaller cake. The size reduction not only cuts the cost in half but is a little easier to prepare and needs less cooking time. The slight increase in egg proportions also tends to make a creamier texture.
I have modified the Splenda and sugar proportions as a reasonable compromise between my wife's sweet tooth and my need to keep the carbs down. Feel free to adjust that to suit yourself as the carb count will be directly reduced as you reduce the sugar. The nutrition count is based on the listed details.
1/2 tsp lemon extract or a good squeeze of lemon; orange can be substituted as a variation.
Note: the eggs, cheese and sour cream need to be at room temperature. If the cheese is too stiff to beat easily, sit the containers in warm water for a little while until the cheese softens.
Use extra butter to grease an 8 or 9 inch (20-25cm) spring-form pan. I also put a circle of greased brown paper on the bottom to be certain the cake does not stick; this step may not be necessary if you use a non-stick pan.
Mix the splenda and almond flour (sometimes I make my own coarse version from almonds in the blender; it works just as well) with melted butter, press evenly onto the bottom of the pan for a thin layer without holes and press any excess up the sides of the pan. If you don't have enough almond flour to go all the way up the sides don't worry; it's not really critical as long as the base is covered. Set the pan aside while mixing the filling.
Beat the cream cheese until light and creamy, keeping the mixer on a low-medium setting throughout the beating and mixing process. Add the mixed splenda and sugar a little at a time and continue beating until creamy.
Add one egg at a time and beat briefly after each egg. When the eggs have been mixed into the cream cheese add vanilla and lemon extract (or lemon juice) and mix briefly until just combined. Add the sour cream last and beat briefly until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the springform pan. Bake at 300 F or 150C for about 40 minutes then check to see if it is set and starting to brown slightly on top. If not, let it cook for another 15 minutes. Try not to over-cook it as it may become too dry. When it is set and beginning to brown turn off the heat, prop open the oven door slightly and leave it in the oven for at least an hour.
Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the spring-form pan to room temperature before placing it in the fridge until the next day. Don't try to serve it on the day of cooking; it will not be set properly if you do. Do not be disappointed if it sinks slightly in the middle. That is normal, or, at least, it was for the ones I made.
The result is 8-12 satisfying slices. I individually wrap some in clingwrap for the freezer; they freeze and defrost well.
Bon appetit, Alan, T2, Australia.

#ELLEVoices: Divya Dwivedi On How She Is #ImaginingTheWorldToBe
To mark its 75th year, ELLE International joined hands with UNESCO for a special content partnership. Together they called on women's voices from across the globe to take part in a series of discussions and the above interview is a part of the same.
By ELLE Team January 12th, 2021
Philosopher, Professor and Editor of Philosophy World Democracy, a new multi-lingual online journal that is truly international, forming an institution of intellectuals. It was founded by Divya Dwivedi, together with Jean-Luc Nancy (Strasbourg), Achille Mbembe (Johannesburg), Zeynep Direk (Istanbul), Shaj Mohan (Delhi) and Mireille Delmas-Marty (Paris)
Photograph: Anubhav Sood
ELLE: What has the crisis shown us?
Divya Dwivedi: The pandemic has affected the whole world with such speed that it shows how much the world is one system. It has affected all economies, because they are interconnected by trade, transport and migration. But it has unequally afflicted the demos, the people themselves, their chances of survival, their livelihoods. The people are suffering the pandemic according to pre-existing unequal arrangements in all parts of the world. For instance, the inegalitarian health systems in each country, and the unequal health expenditures across the countries. So this reveals that epidemics and health flow through channels that already exist.
ELLE: What should the world look like after COVID-19?
DD: First, we should start by looking at the world as it is presenting itself in its failures and also in its new possibilities, and not confine ourselves to the daydreams of local self-sufficiency and local assertions. That would be worse than the confinement which circumstances have already imposed on us, and which have been so poorly executed across the world. We have suffered the persistent tendencies of competitive regionalisms, ethnocentrism and nationalisms, even before the pandemic, and these tendencies have been only augmented in many countries today. We must recognise these diverse racisms as systemic and institutional practices that are making people suffer unequally. They are endangering the doctors and medical staff, journalists, refugees, minorities, and also the majority populations who are subjugated and exploited and are excluded from political participation and from knowledge creation. These are the most significant reasons for the neglect of public health and of non-commercial scientific research. Here's looking at the world. Today, it connects everyone and everything in unprecedented and reciprocal ways. Then we must recognise ourselves as the world, and we must call and answer to the world as the world. This is the meaning of democracy today in which we must all participate equally, and democracy can now be secured only through the assertion that the world belongs to all.
ELLE: How can we anticipate and prepare for future crises?
DD: We have passively witnessed a global agreement on most economic processes and on technological protocols and standards, and there are global institutions dictating terms to national governments. The people are not consulted in these decisions, and they are encouraged to preoccupy themselves in regional, cultural issues which sustain populisms. We must change this. We will have to invent and practice new forms of deceleration and acceleration in our lives, but the only ethical and practical way of doing this is by imagining these modifications collectively. I must unambiguously say this; unlike those on the left and the right who are calling for the burning down of the modern bridges of transport, communication systems, economic cooperation and technologies, we must insist on the democratic future of this one world system. But as we prepare for the future, there's something that philosophy cautions us; the world is not an infinitely malleable matter that we can freely mould according to our world picture, whether through technological exuberance or hypophysical discipline. The truth is that everything finds its limits or its override through new components and new arrangements. We will be surprised by the futures of our own inventions. Future ruins will demand new constructions from us. And that is why our flights are in-destinate.
For ELLE India's 24th Anniversary Issue, we decided to feature select women (and some men) who have stood out as strong role models in their fields. We were keen on knowing their thoughts on how they perceive the future to be, how they see their individual industries evolving, how they intend to meet the challenges and what their hope for the world is. Read more in ELLE's Anniversary Issue.


Scholar Theme Addition of multiple categories for Slideshow?
Was just wondering if it would be possible to integrate more than one blog category into the slideshow on the homepage so that a selection of blogs could be highlighted from across the categories, perhaps organised by date order?
Love the way the homepage works but to be able to publish multiple categories for slideshow and or latest news would be GREAT!
Just a suggestion but let me know what you think!
Thanks for that Tammie, something for me to look at definately! Think it would make for a richer slideshow - might be popular in a future release.
i have a question along these lines too. i am using the columns and have moved the category name to the top of the column. i would like to have some of these posts appear in the featured slideshow also. when i add that category - use a category called 'slideshows' - to the posts i want to appear in both the slideshow and columns, that category name (i.e. "slideshow') appears at the top of the column, looking very silly. can you suggest a way to get the posts appearing in both the columns and the slideshow without the word 'slideshow' appear at the top of the column. i am using the daily theme.
thanks, tammie. like everyone else on these posts, i am really enjoying using your themes.
@dabarnes: Can you provide a link to see this or screenshot please?
i would like to be able to use the 'slideshow' category i created on a few select posts to have them appear in the columns as well as the slideshow but not have the word 'slideshow' appear at the top of the column.
i looked around a bit and wondered if it might be adding something to the call - if that is the correct word - in content-cloumns.php to simply exclude the word 'slideshow'. no idea how to do that.
i basically want to use one post for two purposes: one in the column and, if it warrants, also in the slideshow sometimes. but i take your point that i should find another way to manage my content.
@dabarnes: It's not about finding a different way of managing I just think the theme can work exactly for what you want as all the slideshow is, is a link to a category (the name never appears anywhere in that apart from the back end) and then the content blocks just link to individual categories so you can then relink in there. Am I missing what you are trying to do though in that?

At high frequency, the winding losses of power transformer due to skin and proximity effects becomes a significant component in the loss calculation of the transformer efficiency. This paper examines the winding losses associated with these effects for planar-type low-profile transformers that are suitable for high frequency high density soft switching power supply application. The transformer winding ac resistance and leakage inductance are investigated for the different winding arrangements. 2D and 3D Finite-element methods are used to study the magnetic flux distribution in the transformer window area and the current density distribution in the winding conductors.


I picked up this book the other day: reading up on the ongoing West African Ebola Outbreak has become a focus of research and interest of mine lately. My interests in Ebola go back to the granddaddy of all Ebola books: The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston, published back in the mid-90s, and read while I was in Middle or High School. It's been one of those things that's sort of been at the back of my mind in the intervening years, with an assumption that at some point (not an IF), it'll break out into a wider population and cause some real harm. That's what's happened for almost a year now over in West Africa.
David Quammen's book is an interesting review of the history of Ebola, and an excellent alternative to Preston's book. It's short - this is actually an excerpt from his 2012 book, Spillover: Animal Infections And the Next Human Pandemic, where his publishers asked him to take the various chapters on Ebola and update them a bit in light of the ongoing outbreak. The result is a primer of how Ebola interacted with people since it first erupted in Central Africa in 1976. It's a little opportunistic on the publisher's part, but it provides some good context for what's going on in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Quammen takes a less sensational track than Preston did, outlining his own experiences in Africa as they searched for Ebola, as well as a number of earlier outbreaks that occurred in the region. The end result is a good, if very short, overview of the virus.
I'm not entirely sure if separating out the chapters really work for the greater argument, and it's clear that the greater work here is from his other book, Spillover. The central premise of that book looks at how diseases spill out from an animal reservoir, which is a good question to be asking: not just for this particular outbreak, but for the ones that will come as Africa (and other places around the world) become less isolated and more connected to the global community.

Let's see about writing a poem. What first? An idea, something to write about. I'll check my list of possible titles/themes/ideas. OK, here's one that looks likely, 'specially since this posting is about making a poem.
Huge ball of poetry.
There's my title; by implication it's also my subject. So far, so good. What next? Something about a huge ball of poetry. Well, yes, but what? What is a huge ball of poetry? The answer probably lies inside. Inside the writing, I mean. Usually a piece of writing gradually says what it's about as the words appear on the page, stretching out in a long string. I'm intrigued to see where the words are going and what will lie at the end of the string. That looks like a good image for a huge ball of poetry; a coiled up string, rolled around this way and that, over and over, strands crisscrossing, words touching each other which weren't together in the sequence of the writing but are now tangled and twined so that coming on one, we're falling over another which wasn't originally tied to it at all. A bit like that last sentence which managed to go on for almost four lines, one thought leading to the next, then snaking back, a serpent trying to swallow its tail (or should that be tale?)
Have I got enough to make a poem? Well, I'll start and see where we go.
… and this word
will be followed by that one and
then the next after it will be the one that's meant
to follow it in some sort of agreement to keep sense and not
muck up the meaning of what the words together are supposed to be saying
so long as they're in an order that is familiar but of course it doesn't matter too much
since poetry can break the rules of grammar and even syntax in order to create a sense of
a feeling or the flight of the air through the winding paths of the forest or over the jumping
waves of the sea or maybe around the flittering tails of a herd of wild horses galloping across
the steppe which stretches all the way from the coldness of the Arctic shore to the warm
lapping edge of the great Caspian Sea where lived the ancestors of people
who some day would travel to that sunny sanctuary lying in the vast
southern ocean which somehow balances the continental
land masses sitting on the top of the world instead of
being spread more evenly across
the hemispheres…
Is this a poem? Let's review what we've got. A huge ball of words all caught up together. Yet not too hard to follow those words along the line one after another. You may not be able to see at the beginning where those words are going be at the end, but that's what good writing does, keeps you in suspense, at the same time gradually revealing more and more of what the writer wants to say — or at least what the writer finds himself saying (not quite the same thing when you think about it).
What else is there? Check for the usual criteria. It's one continuous run-on line; it doesn't have end rhyme; it's without regular metre — though there are internal rhymes and a feeling of rhythm is present. Some may dismiss any claim that it's verse. Others will insist this piece of writing — this huge ball of words — is emphatically a poem.
Enough! Let it be a poem or let it be just a jumble of words. For me, however, the words go somewhere, say something, and from the beginning of writing, the beginning of poetry, its entire history, that's been enough.
