Beyonce surprised the Beyhive on Thursday with the official release of her athleisure line, Ivy Park.
In conjunction with the launch, Ivy Park's YouTube channel put out a commercial showing the 34-year-old diva modeling the sexy new styles. The 200-piece collection is a joint venture with retail businessman Philip Green, and clothing prices will range between $30 and $200. The line's Instagram, @WearIvyPark, also launched on Thursday, and while it only featured two photos, it had over 31,000 followers in under an hour.
While Beyonce rarely agrees to interviews, she does open up quite a bit in the new ad.
WATCH: Beyonce and Blue Ivy Make Surprise Appearance at the White House's Easter Egg Roll
The "Single Ladies" singer talks about her first memories of working out, recalling that her father, Mathew Knowles, would wake her up in the morning to go running in the park. "I remember wanting to stop, but I would push myself to keep going," she says. "It taught me discipline."
Beyonce also recalls what she would think about on these runs. "I would think about my dreams. I would think about the sacrifices my parents made for me," she continues, talking over old footage of her and Solange Knowles as children. "I would think about my little sister and how I was her hero."
WATCH: Rihanna Gets Real About Beyonce 'Rivalry'
A more vulnerable moment in Beyonce's commercial comes when she admits, "There are things I'm still afraid of. When I have to conquer those things, I still go back to that park. Before I hit the stage, I go back to that park.
Of course, Blue Ivy makes an appearance in the ad. "When it was time for me to give birth, I go back to that park," she says as we see her pick up Blue, who's also wearing Ivy Park attire, on her back.

"The park became a state of mind," she adds. "The park became my strength. The park is what made me who I am."
Now that's how you sell athletic wear! Ivy Park will be available online and at Topshop, Nordstroms, Hudson Bay, Net-A-Porter and Zalando on April 14.
In addition to her new clothing line, Beyonce is also featured in the May issue of ELLE magazine, and landed not one, but two covers.
A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)
According to the publication, Beyonce gives "a rare in-depth interview," in which she talks about "freedom, feminism, how her new fashion line helps women love their bodies."

Young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, known as 2CELLOS, achieved sensational success by taking the cello to a new level and breaking the boundaries between different genres of music. Their unique cello version of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal took the world by storm. Within only a week, this YouTube video became a huge viral sensation leading to a record deal with Sony Masterworks and an invitation to join Elton John on his worldwide tour.
Since then, the duo has appeared on major TV shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Ellen DeGeneres Show (multiple times), Lopez Tonight, TV Total with Stefan Raab and many others.
2CELLOS were also the first instrumental act to ever perform on the hugely popular TV series GLEE, performing Smooth Criminal. The 2CELLOS' arrangement of the song, which featured Naya Rivera, debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Digital Songs Chart and landed the 2CELLOS' debut album in the Top 100. Sulic and Hauser have played the cello since childhood; Sulic graduated from the acclaimed Royal Academy of Music in London, and Hauser from the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, both in 2011. Individually they have won prestigious prizes and awards, and have performed worldwide at renowned concert venues. Luka and Stjepan's successes extend far beyond YouTube and their fan base continues to grow around the world. 2CELLOS have recently released their second album IN2ITION. The album was produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, KISS, Deep Purple) and features an eclectic group of vocal and instrumental guests including Elton John, Steve Vai, Lang Lang, Naya Rivera and Zucherro.

Whether it's spring, summer, fall or winter, it seems like you can't escape allergies. You know the feeling all too well - sneezing, runny nose, congestion, skin irritation, difficulty breathing, pressure in your head, recurring headaches, and itchy and watery eyes. These symptoms are not only frustrating but can also be very painful and uncomfortable. Many of our patients have found relief from these very same symptoms with our Endonasal Balloon Treatments.
An allergy can be simply defined as a hypersensitivity reaction. In other words, if you have an allergy your body reacts differently to a certain substance that is otherwise harmless to most other people. When it comes to food allergies, you may suffer from indigestion, diarrhea, and bloating. Do you want to know what foods your body is sensitve to? Take our FoodTest95.
Your immune system is in charge of filtering and removing harmful and foreign substances from your body. Some of the ways your body gets rid of harmful substances is through sneezing, coughing, vomitting, and inflammation. An allergic reaction occurs when your immune system kicks on and fights against certain substances that are typically considered safe and harmless. In other words, an allergic reaction occurs not because of the substance itself but because your body has interepreted the substance as foreign or harmful.
In people who have allergies, the immune system produces a certain antibody called immunogobulin E (IgE). This antibody responds to substances such as pollen, dust, pet dander, foods, and more, which may lead to your body producing an allergic reaction.
Can Chiropractic Treatments Help Your Allergies and Sinus Problems?
The very simple answer to that is... yes! At Schneider Clinic we have multiple patients visit every day to have treatments for their allergies and sinus issues, which include snoring, sleep apnea, and sinusitis.
It has been studied and well documented tht chiropractic adjustments greatly benefit your body's central nervous system. The strength of your body's immune system relies heavily on proper communication between your brain and spinal cord in order to function properly. When your body has vertebral subluxations, misalignments, or dysfunctional movements it can not communicate accurately with your central nervous system. This causes an abnormal signal to be received by your central nervous system. When these signals occur along the same pathways required to input normal environmental messsages, your body's communication can be interrupted, causing the information to possibly be understood incorrectly. When this happens, an allergic reaction may occur.
Upper cervical joint irritation can exxagerate or even produce allergic and asthmatic symptoms.
Dr. Schneider is able to precisely adjust your joints and soft tissue with the Acivator Instrument. as well as through Spinal Decompression Therapy. These adjustments restore alignment and open up the pathways of communication of the brain and spine.
Our unique and highly effective treatment method that can reduce or eliminate your allergies and sinus problems!
Dr. Schneider and Schneider Clinic use Endonasal Balloon Technology to help treat chronic sinusitis, allergies, headaches, breathing problems, and snoring. This technology opens up a whole new treatment option to sinusitis patients who don't want to use drugs or surgery.
Endonasal Balloon Therapy has been available at Schneider Clinic for over 40 years. It is becoming increasingly popular due to many drugs and surgeries proving unsuccessful. Dr. Schneider continues to develop this method of treatment, which opens up the sinus passages in a similar fashion as when surgeons stretch clogged arteries with angioplasty.
Dr. Schneider utilizes Activator instrument adjusting to balance the cranial plates and the neck, following a balloon treatment. This makes the procedure more comprehensive in it's approach.
The doctors, nurses and patients at Schneider Clinic have found this comprehensive treatment to be very effective.
Before coming to Schneider clinic I had a multiple issues with my sinuses and allergies. I am a supervisor at a sewing factory but my real passion is singing. I love to sing but with all the congestion I couldn't do what I love to do! I went to my family doctor and was prescribed many different medications including multiple kinds of nasal sprays. Not only did this not help my sinus problems, but a lot of the time it made the congestion worse. The congestion and drainage got so bad that I was having a hard time even breathing.
One day during my lessons, my voice teacher suggested that I see a chiropractor for my sinus problems. I thought she had lost it, I had no idea they could help with sinus problems. I always thought they could only work on backs and necks. My mom, who was already seeing Dr. Schneider for her back told him about my problem. He assured her that he could help so I made an appointment with him the very next day. Dr. Schneider told me about his unique Endonasal Balloon Therapy. I was a little hesitant about the treatment at first but now I am so glad that I stayed.
Since starting Endonasal treatments I feel so much better and I can breathe again. I don't have the drainage that I used to and my throat is not dry from trying to breathe through my mouth all the time. The best part is, I CAN SING AGAIN IN PERFECT PITCH! My voice teacher has noticed a huge difference and according to her the quality and tone in my voice is much improved. What a joy it has been! I know without these treatments I would still be struggling along.
Thank you Dr. Schneider and staff for all your kindness and help. I am so happy about how I feel I might have to write a song about it!
The balloon endonasal procedure uses a small, flexible, sinus balloon to help gently stretch and open up blocked sinus passageways, with the intent of improving / restoring normal sinus drainage and function for the patient. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it gently restructures and widens the walls of the sinus passageway while still maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.
With over 50 years of this procedure being performed at Schneider Clinic this non-surgical procedure offers better long-term results than conventional sinus surgery because it preserves the mucosa, the layer of tissue covering the sinuses.Unlike sinus surgery, it doesn't involve removing bone, packing the sinuses and scarring. Recovery time for patients going through Endonasal treatment is very short as it is an in-office treatment.
Direct healthcare expenditures due to sinusitis cost are over $6 billion every year and well over 73 million restricted activity days are due to sinusitis and its symptoms. With sinusitis affecting around 37 million people in the United States annually, new treatment options can help provide renewed hope to many.

The Cap'n and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary this week. We went out to a nice dinner, paid the babysitter $425 and were home in time to put the kids to bed. We know how to party. The most memorable part of the day was receiving a special gift from our oldest child, 7 year old Thumbelina.
She'd been telling us for a week that she had something really, really great for us. Something incredibly awesome. And it was going to be way, way better than anything we could ever imagine that she would give us. She built up our hopes. She ramped up the suspense and anticipation.
The child did not disappoint.
As soon as we woke up on our anniversary, we were directed to sit on the couch for the presentation of the gift. Thumbelina waited until we were ready, marched into the room, stepped onto the coffee table and with a flourish, revealed our gift.
It. Is. The. Best. Anniversary. Present. Ever.


"Using art to assess environmental education outcomes" by Ami G. Flowers, John P. Carroll et al.
Flowers, A., G. Green, and J.P. Carroll. 2014. Using art to assess environmental education outcomes. Environmental Education Research. 21: 846-864.
Construction of developmentally appropriate tools for assessing the environmental attitudes and awareness of young learners has proven to be challenging. Art-based assessments that encourage creativity and accommodate different modes of expression may be a particularly useful complement to conventional tools (e.g. surveys), but their efficacy and feasibility across diverse contexts has not been adequately explored. To examine the potential utility of integrating art into evaluations of environmental education outcomes, we adapted an existing drawing prompt and corresponding grading rubric to assess the environmental attitudes and awareness of children (ages 6–12) at summer camps in Athens, GA, USA (n = 285). We then compared children's drawings with scores on a more typical survey instrument that measured similar outcomes, the Children Environmental Perception's Scale. Results showed that a drawing prompt was a practical and unique learner-centered tool for measuring distinct components of environmental attitudes and awareness. Findings also revealed different response patterns across the two instruments, highlighting the value of using multiple approaches (e.g. art-based and survey-based) to assess cognitive and affective aspects of children's environmental orientations.

Helen Forrester: chronicler of Liverpool poverty
Quite likely most Liverpudlians have read Helen Forrester's memoir of growing up in a poverty-stricken family in Liverpool in the 1930s, Twopence To Cross The Mersey, though I imagine she's less well-known outside the city. She shouldn't be, because her account of life in Depression-hit Liverpool is honest, raw and unsentimental. Forrester died this week in Canada where she had made her home after marriage in the late 1940s to Avadh Bhatia, an Indian physics student at Liverpool University.
Twopence To Cross The Mersey (published in 1974) tells how Helen's family was thrown into desperate circumstances after her feckless and financially incompetent middle class parents were declared bankrupt in the 1930s. They lost everything. Her father moved the family to Liverpool in the hope of finding work, but, instead found himself, bemused, in a city crushed by the impact of the Depression and blighted by unemployment and poverty.
Helen Forrester was, of course, a pen name: she was born June Huband, in Hoylake across the water on the Wirral. The title of Twopence To Cross the Mersey referred to the unattainable cost of taking the ferry from Liverpool to Birkenhead and thence to her grandmother's home, a journey as make-believe as Dorothy following the yellow brick road. She was the oldest of seven children, and she is unflinching in recording her parents' financial ineptness and matter of fact in describing how the burden of looking after her younger siblings fell to her. Her parents lived on credit and had no idea how to manage. Forrester describes how she had to guide her father in how to look for jobs in the Liverpool Echo, whilst her mother refused to look after the younger children herself, pawned her daughter's coat for cigarettes and forced her husband to run up debts with moneylenders.
Helen was forced by her parents to leave school when she was eleven, to look after her brothers and sisters. She tells of having to sell clothes for money to buy bread, sleeping seven to a bed under tattered old coats, and stealing milk for her baby brother.
Several of the children had sores which took a long time to heal. These were sometimes caused by normal cuts and abrasions going septic; and sometimes from their scratching at their vermin-ridden bodies. We nearly all suffered from toothache from time to time, and mother's teeth began to loosen. Brian suffered torture from gumboils. … Father began to realise that unless help came the younger children would probably die from the first germ that infected them. The death rate in Liverpool at that time was one of the highest in the country, and the infant mortality rate was correspondingly horrifying.
Helen was helped by the kindness of strangers – a policeman who secretly paid for milk for her baby brother; an old man who encouraged her love of literature, and a landlady who took the family in, after everyone else turned them away. Encouraged to read and improve herself, at 14 Helen began night school in the face of opposition from her parents, and soon after got a job as a telephonist in Bootle.
In an obituary for The Guardian, Kate Bradley records that both Helen's first love, a seaman, and the man to whom she later became engaged, were killed in the Second World War. After the war, she volunteered at a society that organised social events for students from foreign countries. It was at one of these events that Helen met the young Indian student, Avadh Bhatia.
They fell in love, and though it was an unconventional match for the 1940s, her parents showed indifference. But Helen embraced Avadh's world with enthusiasm, and the two were married in Rajasthan. They lived for two years in Gujarat where the simplicity and spirituality of the people captivated Helen. Her novels Thursday's Child and The Moneylenders of Shahpur (1987) took the region as a backdrop.
Helen Forrester published eleven novels, alongside the four volumes of memoirs that began with Twopence To Cross The Mersey. The others in the sequence were Liverpool Miss, By the Waters of Liverpool, and Lime Street at Two, which told the story being a social worker in Bootle during the war years and her devastation at the death of her fiancé on the Atlantic convoys.
Twopence To Cross The Mersey was later adapted into a musical which had four successful runs at Liverpool's Empire theatre, taking more than £2m at the box office.
Despite her success as a writer, Helen Forrester regarded her greatest achievement as having 'survived the misery of my girlhood, of always being put down as ugly, stupid and useless, except as an unpaid domestic servant in my parents' house'.

11 thoughts on "Helen Forrester: chronicler of Liverpool poverty"
Gerry, I'm so glad that you did this post; I was hoping that you would! I read Helen Forrester's books avidly and found, in her autobiographical ones, a certain amount of parallels with my own life that somehow made me feel less isolated. I have a lemon tree, bought because I coveted the one in her book, 'The Lemon Tree' !! Perhaps naively, it had never once occurred to me that she wrote under a pseudonym until I read the obituaries this week…
Elizabeth – so she is read and appreciated outside Liverpool. Good. I must admit, though, I've not read any of her fiction. Is it good?
I'm neither writer nor critic, but I found that they were the kind of books that it's easy to read in those times when your mind just isn't seeking mental agility and complicated plots, but were still packed full of interesting stuff put in a easy-chill way. I was thinking about one of them – 'Three Women Of Liverpool', I think it was – when we were talking about the rag and bone man a while ago, because I recall that it gave quite an overview of the process of sorting the rags and the work that could be got in sewing handkerchiefs from the good material salvaged. Is there a place called the Rag Market in Liverpool? Liverpool Basque was interesting because it gave a good basic understanding of the communities that had left the Pyranees in search of a better life, how they adjusted to their new lives and the terrors that haunted any of the dockland families who relied upon the sea for their living. I don't know a great deal about Liverpool, but so many communities seem to have settled there from other places, often intending to go further but staying put. I wasn't so keen on the slushier books like 'Yes, Mama' and 'Mourning Doves', partly due to personal taste, partly because, although they emitted the same amount of historical fact, the subjects weren't as unknown to me. She obviously had a great sense of place and history, wherever she found herself and whatever her situation.
That quote that you've included from Helen Forrester is really interesting and there seems to have been a bit of a similar theme running through some of your posts of late. I've been thinking a lot of the Jeanette Winterson post, but also that Shelagh Delaney film where she spoke of the three sets of restless people. A background like this seems to either flatten you and tie your expectations down to that poverty triangle, elevate you to be able to rise above it and reach great heights, or, just suspend you uncomfortably in mid-air, not really capable of moving forwards but not wanting to travel backwards and I can't really fathom what it is that puts people in one bracket or another.
In answer to your question about a Rag Market in Liverpool, Elizabeth…I haven't read 'Three Women Of Liverpool', but I suspect it might be Paddy's Market, once a thriving institution in the north end of the city, though now a shadow of its former glory. It began in the Scotland Road area, settled by large numbers of desperately poor Catholics from Ireland in 1847-1848 after the great potato famine. The area became known as a 'Poverty-land', and as a happy hunting ground for dealers in rags and bones and other refuse which could be made to yield profitable pickings. Cast-off clothing in time became the chief commodity, and a distinct trade sprang up. The traders became concentrated in a rough, second-hand emporium nicknamed Paddy's Market on Great Homer Street selling bundles of rags to people.
There's a reference to Paddy's Market as it might have been in Helen Forrester's day, in Pat O'Mara's 'A Liverpool Slummy', a memoir of life among the poor of Liverpool published in 1933, and nearly as well-known in Liverpool as Forrester's books:
Meandering northward from Whitechapel just behind the Walker Art Gallerylies that acme of British slums, the internationally famous Scotland Road. Midway in this thoroughfare stands Paddy's Market, also internationally known, where the refuse of the Empire is bought and sold. Old clothes, old boots, bits of oil cloth, turbans, frayed domestic and foreign underthings – to sell such stuff brazen female hawkers seated on the flag floor lure folk with the consumptive cackle : "Now, John, ninepence for that coat! Come 'ere! Come 'ere!"
Just across from Paddy's Market stands Richmond Row, where, in its squalid shacks – sleeping sometimes ten in a single room for threepence a night – live most of these transient women hawkers. The majority of these young women, after peddling their wares in or outside the Market, sally forth at night towards Lime Street , there to barter anew – this time with their bodies, up alleys, for a mere pittance and to anyone. After such nocturnal forays they meander homeward, get drunk on methylated spirits, engage in internecine warfare, and usually end the night in that stumpy little structure up the road, the Rose Hill lock-up.
I found a couple of images of the rag market in 1895, Here https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/0-bJ3eBmwpyLGohb7DdW_8tJqmC8003oOU_q0vhgkwc?feat=directlink and here https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/fvkItxyTk2050vQ6Gssc6stJqmC8003oOU_q0vhgkwc?feat=directlink
The women in a lot of these photos are reckoned to be the original 'Mary Ellens' who started Paddy's market.
More recently, evocative images of Liverpool 50 years ago, when the city was still recovering from the post war gloom, were pictured in a BBC film now available to watch online. Filmed in 1958, and shown in 1959, Morning in the Streets was made by acclaimed documentary maker Denis Mitchell. It includes sights long since vanished like the weekly round of the rag and bone man and women scrubbing doorsteps. http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/working/0189.shtml?all=1&id=0189
Paddy's Market is still held on Saturdays in Great Homer Street, but now has a rather different character from the old clothes market, with dealers in fancy goods, books, music and toys, plants, just about anything.
Sheila Bartlett nee Short says:
I was born in Richmond Row in 1944′ my Nan owned 3 shops and we were not poor. We lived opposite Berrys pawn shop.
Gerry, I have only just found this comment; my apologies. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to give such a comprehensive and interesting answer. It's really cheered me up, seeing this, this afternoon.
I'm hoping to come across in the new year, principally to catch the Titian and Bedford Lemere exhibitions, but I may eventually get to see some of these other wondrous things that you talk of for myself!
Wendy Jones says:
The autobiographical memoirs of Helen Forrester live outside Liverpool for sure! As a Southerner living 'up North', I love Liverpool with a passion for it's history, culture, ability to change and grow stronger….but above all I love the people for their resilience, humour, independence and durability. Helen's memoirs mirror this and it is particularly poignant as she herself suffered so much during her younger years, however sheer grit and the desire to learn meant she achieved so much at the same time. I have read her books three times now and will continue to read them: they provide strength, encouragement and show what can be achieved if you are determined! A lesson in life for us all! I have recommended her books to so many people of all ages who enjoy them: they are a social history and more importantly, a lesson to us all: never give up despite your circumstances and always strive to be the best you can. There cannot be a better legacy to this wonderful lady!
Thanks for reading, Wendy. It's good to learn that Helen Forrester is read and appreciated outside Liverpool as well.
Louise Hawxwell says:
I can remember reading the play script version of 'Twopence to cross the Mersey' when at secondary school in Durham, and also getting hold of the actual book (and the next ones in the set!) when I was about 13/14. I loved reading them (and have re-read them countless times since) and when I first visited Liverpool as a student in 1996 I used to wander round the streets recognising place names, streets etc from Helen's books. Even now, after living near Liverpool for almost 14 years I still think of the places in Helen's books! In fact I'm just re-reading Lime Street at Two! Thanks for all this fantastic information Gerry. Would love to know what happened to the rest of Helen's family too
Thanks, Louise, for your appreciative comment on a short post, and for your own memories of reading Helen Forrester.
Sue roberts says:
I loved miss Forrester's uato biography. I would love to buy them again. Along with Liverpool daisy. Such a shame she died

Q: Why bash indirect expansion has to use temp variable? From https://stackoverflow.com/a/10820494/1764881, I know that the standard way of doing it seems to be:
   var="SAMPLE$i"
   echo ${!var}

But, I can't seem to do any of these following forms. They all failed:
echo ${!SAMPLE$i}
echo ${!"SAMPLE$i"}

I read the bash man page, but I still couldn't understand. Is it true that the first form is the only form accepted?

A: Yes. The underlying logic is that all parameter expansions take a single, literal word as the name of the parameter to expand, and any additional operator does something to the result. ! is no exception; var is expanded as usual, but the result is expanded again.
(As an aside, even arrays follow this rule. It might seem that something like ${array[2]%foo} applies two operators to array, but really array[2] is treated as the name of a single parameter. There is a little difference, as the index is allowed to be an arbitrary arithmetic expression rather than a literal number.)
(And for completeness, I should mention the actual exceptions, ${!prefix*} and ${!name[*]}, which confusingly use the same operator ! for querying variables themselves. The first lists variable names starting with the same prefix; the second lists the keys of the named array.)

Q: Kafka Message Broker with AMQP Interface Is it possible to have Kafka with AMQP support ?
Hi, I am new to Kafka and are in process of analyzing kafka. We like to replace our conventional message broker with Kafka and looking for a few questions.
Our existing broker supports AMQP clients and we would like to use an AMQP connector/interface in Kafka so that our AMQP clients won't feel the infrastructure changes.

A: AMQ clients are not compatible with the Kafka protocol, and out of the box, Apache Kafka has no such support.
In the latest release, Confluent provides an AMQ source connector which means that you need to run Kafka Connect processes alongside your Kafka brokers to ease transition.
There are other, similar services you can find elsewhere, as mentioned in the comments

Control down force with military precision. Win the battle for higher yields.
When you control down force, you avoid shallow-planted seeds and you avoid root compaction. Simply put, you increase your yield.
And nothing – nothing – controls down force better than DeltaForce™ from Precision Planting. In every foot on every pass, in each individual row, it monitors row unit weight and ground contact, then instantly and automatically adjusts to maintain the depth you set. You get your best possible yield – your best possible return on investment.
DeltaForce is available for most John Deere, CaseIH, Kinze and select White planter models.
DeltaForce works with 20/20 SeedSense® and replaces the springs or air bags on your planter. It includes hydraulic cylinders harnessed to cab, plus a weight pin that sends data to SeedSense which, in turns, controls the cylinders – and your down force.
Add Climate FieldView™ to see high-resolution maps of down force, applied down force and ground contact on your iPad®.
down force – seed depth – is left unattended.
Are you ready for 98%?


This tutorial is on Speaker Selection what to look for and what and, the pros and cons of various types. It is the first of a series aiming to assist people who are planning to install a car audio system or upgrade an existing system.
I have completed a range of installations in different vehicles the characteristics of which vary from car to car with particular experience in installs in the Ford Falcon range EA - BA. The pictures included are largely my own but if you have a pic that is relevant to a point I'm making please e-mail it to me and I'll happily include it in place of all of mine pics.
There are a huge number of choices when it comes to speaker brands and although many people will swear by a particular brand or type of speaker they are largely a personal choice and you should let your ears make the final decision not the marketing hype.
-	Many stores have subwoofers playing with speakers to give an added sense of bottom end. You should listen to speakers by themselves to get the correct impression even if you plan on using a subwoofer later.
It is best to audition them speakers in other peoples cars if possible. You find that most people are happy to let you have a listen to their system if you ask nicely so come along to any Fordmods meet and ask away. If all else fails I'm happy to let you listen to mine and a few others I have done so just hassle me... Car Audio Australia also has a number of meets and people there are running a diverse range of speakers in a range of cars.
It depends on a number of factors such as budget and locations available but I'll give you a brief rundown.
Typically range from ½ inch to 2inch with most being around 1inch in size.
Although there are 4 types listed above it are not necessary to have all of these in a system with the minimum number recommended being 2 way and the maximum a 4 way system. The most popular system configuration is a 3 way with a pair of splits (tweeter and midrange/midbass) up front and a subwoofer for low frequencies.
Consider the mounting hardware offered for a particular tweeter and where you are planning on mounting it. I.e. does it come with flush mount (surface) brackets, swivel mounting brackets or screw in from behind? Although most tweeters are small some have reasonably large magnets and you may need to consider the depth if you plan on mounting them up high in the A-pillars where space may be restricted.
Tweeters are very directional so it is important to ensure nothing is blocking their sound path and they should generally be either aimed upwards or mounted higher in the car to lift the sound stage height. I have found that in the falcons aiming the tweeter at the opposing headrest work quite well.
2 common tweeter materials are hard dome (metal) & soft dome. Hard dome tweeters can benefit from extended high frequency response 18khz - 22khz + but can sound a little harsh or aggressive at higher volumes especially if mounted high up in the car such as the dash or A-pillars. Soft dome tweeters often have a more mellow sound however they often suffer roll off above 16khz and theie relaxed sound is not to everyones liking. Once again there is no hard and fast rule just listen to a few sets and make up your own mind. Quality component sets often have +2db and -2db adjustments in the crossover to assist you in getting the sound you desire from there speakers.
With a 2 way front stage the midrange driver also plays midbass frequencys so looking for a speaker that will play down to your subwoofer crossover point is important. In a 2 way system I would only ever go as small as a 5.25inch midrange, as 4inch & smaller have difficulty reproducing low frequencies.
With a 3 way front stage the midrange plays a narrow band of frequencies and size is not especially important as lower frequencies are played by the midbass driver but it can be an important consideration for mounting as you should mount your midrange no more then ONE HANDSPAN away from your tweeter so you do not get image separation.
Midbass drivers are used as part of a 3 way front stage. They are a larger speaker and typically mounting options are limited. It is important to mount this speaker securely as it moves with some force.
These reproduce low frequencies below 100htz, are large, often heavy and most require an enclosure to produce the best results although some free air subwoofers are available.
Ideally you should select a subwoofer that is no more than 2 sizes larger than your midbass (or midrange for 2 way systems) speaker up front as they will blend better with your front stage and create a bass up front impression.
There will be a separate Tutorial on Subwoofers as there is a lot to cover.

"Really?"
"Don't get any ideas lover boy."
"Damn," Drew said in false disappointment. Then he looked down at his lap and said, "Look what you've done to me now."(Erotic Stories)
Dana looked down and saw a tent in her husband's slacks. She took a quick look out the window at the traffic and then reached over and caressed his penis through his pants. "Want to go back home?"
Drew practically wrecked the car as he made a "U" turn in the middle of the street.
The door of their house was barely closed before the two were in an embrace. Their lips pressed together as they squirmed into one another. Seconds later both of them had their shirts off and were fumbling with their shorts.
Drew couldn't wait and pulled his topless wife into his bare chest and kissed her again.
Dana moaned as her large breasts pressed into her husband's strong chest. She could feel his penis pushing against her groin. She pushed him away and slowly slid down his body until she was on her knees. She looked up at him as she unzipped his shorts. Then she reached inside and grasped his throbbing penis.
"Oh God sweetie," he moaned as he watched her struggle to pull it from the small hole.
When she had it out in the open, a little moan escaped her lips. She loved his large penis. While she didn't have a lot to compare it to, she was sure it was much longer and wider than average. She had heard friends talk about their husband or lovers and she had seen plenty of porno movies. Not to mention her own affair, however she didn't want to think about that right now. Drew's penis was bigger than his was anyway.
The pretty woman stared at the pulsing tool in her hand. The slit in the head began to bubble with his pre-cum juice. She moaned and opened her mouth to take the dripping crown inside.
"Oh Jesus," Drew gasped as he watched his wife suck him. He never grew tired of the sight. His hips began to move back and forth as his excitement grew. He watched her cheeks suck inward when he pulled back and then bulge outward as his penis pressed toward her throat. His balls began to churn and his hips began to move faster with his growing excitement. However, he didn't want to cum in her mouth. He wanted something else, so he pulled her reluctantly to her feet. Then he led her over to the sofa, pushing her over the arm.
Dana moaned as she was bent over with her ass in the air. She knew what was coming and her heart began to pound in her chest.
Quickly Drew pulled Dana's shorts down and off her feet. Then he slowly knelt behind her. A gasp escaped his lips as he stared at her panty-covered ass. The silky material barely covered her cheeks. There was a beautiful contrast of her pink panties, white cheeks and brown tan lines. He pulled the panties until they were tucked between the cheeks. He grasped the material at the top and bottom and sawed it back and forth.
"Mmmmm," Dana groaned as the silky material separated her cheeks and rubbed against her now tender holes.
Drew teased himself and Dana as he took his time, continually moving the material up and down, staring at her now squirming cheeks. Slowly he began to pull the panties down, revealing the divide between her soft white buttocks inch by inch. He left the panties at her thighs and leaned forward and kissed first one soft cheek and then the other.
Dana groaned as his lips left a trail of wetness, moving slowly across her soft cheeks. She knew where this was heading and she trembled in anticipation. She also knew that he would take his time and draw out his and her pleasure.
Drew chuckled as he watched his beautiful wife squirm in front of he. He loved to tease her. He would sometimes take an hour or more to build up to the final act. He had become a master at slow, sensual seduction.
"Oh God, sweetie," Dana moaned. "Please!"
Drew gently bit the soft flesh, leaving teeth marks on the white skin. Then he sat back slightly and paused to take in the view. Her firm buttocks were perfect. His hands trembled as he reached out and caressed the soft skin. He saw goose bumps rise on her cheeks and then run down the back of her thighs. Slowly, he opened her cheeks.
Both of them moaned as Dana's tiny rose was exposed. He stared in amazement. He loved looking at her puckered little hole. It was wrinkled and pink with a tiny mole just to the side. He often joked that the mole was earth and her little rose was "Uranus".
Dana couldn't stop her hips from squirming as she felt her husband's adoring eyes centered on her private place. Suddenly, she could feel his breath on her pulsing hole. It was getting very warm in the room.
Drew's lips were so close that he could almost taste her. His tongue came out and he touched the little mole. He felt his excited wife tremble. Then he circled his tongue around the hole in a teasing fashion. When Dana pushed back, he pulled away and chuckled teasingly again. Then he moved his tongue to the top of her buttocks before sliding it down one cheek and then the other, leaving a trail of his saliva.
Dana was growing impatient. "Oh please!" she moaned as she felt Drew begin to lick her again.
This time, his tongue started at the top of her crack and moved slowly downward, edging closer and closer.
The excitement in the room grew rapidly as Drew's tongue moved between the cheeks. Finally his tongue touched the tiny hole.
"Ohhhhh!!!" Dana moaned and pushed her ass back toward his tongue again.
Drew stiffened his tongue and pressed forward.
"Oh Goddddddd!!!" Dana screamed and her body began to shake. Drew had done this to her countless times but every time seemed like the first. She felt his wide tongue separating her sphincter and slipping into her body. Years ago, she had thought that this act was too dirty for words. Now, it was a necessary part of their lovemaking; it was a prelude to something much bigger and much longer. "Yes, yes, yes!" she moaned as she felt his tongue begin to move in and out of her slowly stretching hole.
Saliva began to drip down Drew's chin as his tongue plunged in and out of the tight hole. Suddenly his face was buried between her cheeks, the soft silky flesh caressing his rougher skin. He could lick his wonderful wife's ass for hours, but not today because he was too excited. When he pulled his tongue from the grasping hole, it made a little pop and snapped shut.
Suddenly, Dana felt empty. Her hole pulsed, as if it had a mind of its own, like it needed something to stretch it to the limit.
Drew stood up and looked down at his wife's gorgeous squirming ass. His hands were still trembling as he separated the cheeks again. He brought his now throbbing erection to the divide between her cheeks and rested at the top of her crack. Slowly, he let it slip downward and through the saliva he had left behind. That provided the necessary lubricant and it would be all that he would use.
When the head touched the puckered rose, they both groaned.
Dana was going mad with desire now. She had to have it inside her. She pushed her hips up and back in desperation.
Drew pulled teasingly away. Then, he let the head touch the hole again as he pulled the cheeks even further apart. He centered the large head on her anus and pushed forward, gradually increasing the pressure. The tight sphincter resisted mightily for a second before it began to relax.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Dana moaned as the impossibly large head opened her hole. She concentrated, trying to relax. However, it seemed more difficult then usual in her current state of excitement. She knew that the head was always the toughest part. She held her breath and bit her lip. With a final push from her hips and Drew's, the crown slipped inside and air rushed from her lungs. The stretched muscles of her sphincter gripped the head below the crown, trapping it in a warm vise.
"Oh God baby!" Drew moaned as he felt her anal canal opening to welcome him. Slowly he slid in, inch by inch, pausing occasionally to let her adjust until finally, his swollen testicles touched her dripping vagina. He stopped moving, waiting for Dana to get used to the length and width of his large tool.
The room was silent but for their heavy breathing. Drew's leg muscles trembled as he waited. It seemed like an eternity for both of them before he started to move.
"Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck myyyyy assss!!!" Dana screamed.
Drew smiled at her outburst and began to move his hips faster. It always worked like this. Once she adjusted, he knew that he didn't have to be gentle any longer. He pulled his hips back and then pushed forward with a grunt, sliding all the way into her with one thrust.
"Ahhhhhheeeee!!!" Dana screamed. It wasn't a scream of pain but rather incredible pleasure. She could feel every inch of his hot shaft as it slid past the sensitive nerve endings deep in her canal.
Then Drew gradually began to move more rapidly until he was pounding into his wife's tight ass without reservation. The sofa beneath the two squeaked under the strain and the room filled with the slapping sound of skin against skin.
"Oh God baby, I'm going to cum," Drew moaned in warning.
"Yes, yes, yes, cum... cum in my asssss!!!" Dana screamed as a strong climax overtook her. She could feel her anal canal pulsing and squeezing Drew's long shaft. Each of her pulses brought a return throb from his hot shaft.
Suddenly, Drew bellowed in pleasure and began to pump his thick sperm deep into Dana's waiting hole. It felt like his balls were going to explode from the release of the building pressure.
Dana could feel it... she could actually feel the hot cum pouring into her canal. She knew that most women would say that that was not possible. However, she knew what she felt and the feeling always intensified her climax. It was almost as if a soothing balm was being pumped into her clenching hole. She gasped for breath until her climax began to wane.
Finally, Drew fell across his still climaxing wife. Each convulsion made her ass muscles squeeze a little more of his dwindling cum into her hole. He sighed as the last drop was pulled into her already overflowing hole. Then he kissed her neck tenderly and whispered, "I love you."
She could only groan in response.
Slowly, Drew's penis lost its stiffness and slipped out of his wife. He stood up and smiled down at her still trembling form. A trickle of his sperm dribbled from her hole and ran down her leg. Then he bent over and pulled her panties back up and smacked her buttocks lovingly. "Get up lazy bones. We have to get to the store."
Dana moaned and stood up on shaking legs. She slowly put her clothes back on. As the two of them walked out of the house, she could feel her little hole still pulsing and Drew's sperm trickling out. She smiled and felt a little shiver run through her. What would all those people at Home Depot think if they knew that I had cum running out of my ass? she thought. Then she giggled at the thought of the times she had been to the mall with Mary Ellen with Drew's sperm slowly filling her panties. She loved that feeling.
The following morning, Dana was in the car waiting outside when Mary Ellen stepped out of the house. It was a beautiful day and the sun was shinning in a cloudless sky.
"Good morning," Dana said brightly. "Are you ready for your big adventure?"
"Big adventure? I thought we were going shopping?"
"We are. However, I have a couple of surprises planned." Dana had a strange smile on her face.
"What are you up to?" Mary Ellen said in a mock worried tone. "You're not going to get me into any trouble are you?"
"You'll have to just wait and see."
Dana took them to an upscale shopping mall a few miles away. It was an outside shopping center that was reminiscent of malls before the multi-floor giants became popular. She led Mary Ellen to a fancy dress store where she talked her into buying several "Victoria Secrets" style dresses. They were tight and short, hugging her hips and buttocks like a second skin. Mary Ellen was very reluctant to buy the clothes. However, no matter how much she protested, Dana insisted that she purchase them. Then they went to another store to get some tight slacks, shorts and jeans. All of the clothes seemed to have a common thread; they emphasized Mary Ellen's sexy rear. Finally Dana took her to a lingerie shop.
The number and variety of underwear and sexy nightclothes astounded Mary Ellen. After buying her underwear in Wal-Mart for years, this was like a new world to her. Dana helped her pick out an arm full of various types of underwear and led her to the changing rooms in the back. She waited outside as Mary Ellen went inside to try some on.
The changing rooms had half doors where the person was covered from neck to knees.
Dana waited as Mary Ellen took off her clothes and put on a pair of sexy underwear. Then, she walked over and looked over the door just as Mary Ellen bent over to try another pair on. She almost gasped as she stared at the younger woman's buttocks. She had on a pair of almost see through panties that were cut high on her hips and hugged her cheeks like a glove.
"Those look great, turn around," Dana said to the suddenly startled woman.
Mary Ellen stood up quickly and gasped. She spun around, holding a flimsy pair of underwear to her naked chest. "Dana!" she cried as her face turned red with embarrassment at the older woman seeing her almost naked.
"My, my, you'd think you were a high school girl," Dana laughed at her friend's embarrassment. Then her eyes glanced down at the panties. "That will never do," she said.
"Your pubic hair! God woman, don't you ever trim it." Mary Ellen's pubic hair pushed the panties out with curly hair escaping from the elastic leg band.
Mary Ellen's face turned redder. "No," she whispered, suddenly even more self-conscious.
"Well, I'm glad I got you the appointment this afternoon."
"What appointment?"
"You'll see. Now pick out a bunch of underwear just like those you have on. I'll get a couple of pair of thongs for you."
Mary Ellen was still embarrassed as Dana turned away and went to find the sales woman. She slipped the panties off and looked down at her hair growth. It had never occurred to her to cut her pubic hair. Surely in the summer she trimmed it back but only very sparingly.
Some time later the two women packed the trunk of Dana's car with all the new clothes-including several pair of very high-heeled shoes.
"Where are we going now?"
"To your appointment," Dana said and smiled mysteriously as she drove them to her regular beauty salon. She had called yesterday and was fortunate to get an appointment due to a cancellation. She scheduled the "full" treatment, including a hair styling, makeup and bikini waxing. It was going to be tricky to get Mary Ellen to go along with the waxing though.
The owner of the shop greeted Dana with a warm hug. She was a slightly heavy but pretty older woman with large breasts and a beautiful smile. The two women had known each other for years. In fact, Drew had helped her raise financing to open the shop.
"Is this the victim?" the woman asked, turning to Mary Ellen.
"Yes," said Dana. "Nancy, this is Mary Ellen. Be gentle with her, she is new at this."
As Nancy began to lead Mary Ellen away, Dana said, "I have an errand to run sweetie, I'll be back in a little while."
The older woman led a suddenly nervous Mary Ellen over to a chair where several other women were waiting. "She gets the full treatment ladies; hair, nails, makeup, etc."
An hour and a half later, Mary Ellen looked in the mirror and barely recognized the woman looking back at her. The hair stylist had cut and layered her hair and added a little frosting. It fit her pretty face perfectly. They had applied makeup, and done her fingernails and toenails as well with bright and sparkling polish.
The girls were still fussing over Mary Ellen when Dana came back. "Wow," Dana said sincerely when she saw the results. "You look gorgeous."
Mary Ellen blushed and said, "Thank you." She had to agree. For the first time in years, she felt pretty and special.
"Are you ready Mrs. Jakowski?" a lovely young girl in a white robe asked.
"For what?"
"Your waxing."
"What?" Mary Ellen asked and looked at Dana in surprise.
"Mary Ellen, this is Jennifer. Now go with her sweetie. You definitely need it."
"But... but..." she stuttered and her face turned red. She knew about waxing but had never even considered it.
The young girl took Mary Ellen's hand and Dana pushed her to follow.
"The changing room is over there. Take off your shorts and underwear and put on this robe," the pretty girl said, handing Mary Ellen a white robe.
Mary Ellen had never been so embarrassed in her life. It was even worse than going to the gynecologist, she thought as she reluctantly took off her clothes and put on the robe. She came out of the room with a red face. Jennifer led her over to a chair that looked a lot like a dentist chair. However, it had stirrups like a gynecologist's examining chair.
Jennifer sat on a stool between her legs, placing her feet in the stirrups. "Don't be nervous. I've done this a million times." The young girl adjusted the stirrups to spread Mary Ellen's closed thighs. "Oh my, you do need a trim," she said when she saw the bush of hair between her legs.
Mary Ellen's face flushed redder.
"I'm sorry," Jennifer apologized, "I didn't mean to embarrass you."
Mary Ellen wasn't listening. She was afraid to look down. However, all she would have seen would have been the top of Jennifer's head. She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to relax as the young girl started to work. Still, her body was as stiff as a board. There was no way she could relax with this girl looking at her between her legs.
The young girl worked with a pair of scissors until she had Mary Ellen's pubic hair trimmed as short as possible. Then she got the wax ready. "Relax for a minute. I'll be right back."
A few minutes later Mary Ellen saw Jennifer come back with something in her hand. Then she felt something warm being placed on her pubic mound. It actually felt quite good. Within a few minutes, she could feel turning cool.
"Now this will hurt a bit," the woman said when the wax had dried.
"Yeowwww!!!" Mary Ellen screamed at the pain in her groin. She almost jumped off the table.
Jennifer quickly placed a warm towel on Mary Ellen's now smooth pubic mound and applied pressure for several minutes. "The worst is over," Jennifer said as she removed the towel. She had left a small V shaped patch of hair above her vagina as Dana had instructed.
Mary Ellen could feel her entire pubic area throbbing. However, the warm towel had soothed the burning somewhat.
"Very nice," Jennifer said as she held a large mirror between Mary Ellen's legs in order for her to see.
"Oh my God," Mary Ellen gasped when she saw that her pubic hair was gone. Suddenly, it didn't look like her body. She had never seen her vagina so exposed. Her fat outer lips were baby smooth and the pink inner lips were squeezed between them and protruding. There was just a tuft of brown hair several inches above the beginning of her slit. Suddenly, she flushed again when she realized the obscene view the young girl between her legs now had of her most private parts.
"Here, Dana wanted you to wear these," the young girl said to the startled woman.
Mary Ellen was in a trance as she allowed the girl to begin to slide a pair of thong underwear up her thighs. She closed her eyes in mortification. However, when the girl's hands stopped before the panties were past her thighs, she looked down. Her eyes opened wide as she saw the young girl staring at her vagina again. Mary Ellen trembled as the girl's tongue came out and she licked her dry lips. It almost looked as if she wanted to kiss her between... no she couldn't even think that. However, there was definitely lust in the girl's eyes. (next part 3)

ABOUT A THOUSAND AMERICANS ARE DYING EVERY DAY — A TOLL SO GRIM THAT IT'S HARD TO COMPREHEND.
Leaked documents dated to earlier this week, obtained from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by Yahoo News, warn that new coronavirus cases are spiking again as Americans relax their social distancing practices.
Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House's top infectious disease expert and a national figurehead against the virus, lamented this week that the outbreak has become his "worse nightmare."
"In a period of four months, it has devastated the whole world," he said. "And it isn't over yet."
Does that amount to the widely-feared "second wave" of COVID, which could lead to more mass deaths and knock down an economy that's only starting to recover? It remains unclear — especially because the fight against the virus is going very differently in different areas of the country.
Atlantic writer James Hamblin, whose early warnings about the severity of the pandemic proved prescient, pushed back against the idea that the U.S. is experiencing a second wave. It would be more accurate, he said yesterday, to characterize COVID cases in the U.S. as "one long wave" that's leveled out around 20,000 new cases — and, chillingly, around 1,000 deaths — per day.

CHINESE COVID-19 VACCINE EFFECTIVE IN MONKEYS
Researchers at Beijing pharmaceutical company Sinovac Biotech have developed an experimental COVID-19 vaccine that it says protected macaques from infection, ScienceMagazine reports.
The vaccine was based on a tried-and-true formulation that included an inactivated version of the virus SARS-CoV-2, as detailed in a preprint uploaded to the server bioRxiv on April 19.
"These data support the rapid clinical development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for humans," reads the paper.
The team at Sinovac injected eight macaque monkeys with two different doses. Three weeks after injection, they introduced the coronavirus straight into the money's lungs. There were reportedly no side effects.
None of the monkeys developed an infection beyond a small "viral blip." A less fortunate control group of monkeys developed severe pneumonia after being infected by the virus.
"This is old school but it might work," Florian Krammer, a virologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who co-authored a status report on COVID vaccine candidates, told Science Mag. "What I like most is that many vaccine producers, also in lower–middle-income countries, could make such a vaccine."
Critics say, though, that the sample size in Sinovac's trial was too small to produce generalizable results. Questions also remain about the viability of the vaccine candidate for use in humans — especially considering that monkeys don't experience the same severe symptoms of COVID as humans.
In a separate Sinovac experiment, the researchers mixed a cocktail of antibodies from patients in China, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and the United Kingdom with the virus.
According to the team, the antibodies "potently neutralized 10 representative SARS-CoV-2 strains, indicative of a possible broader neutralizing ability."
And that'd be good news.
"This provides strong evidence that the virus is not mutating in a way that would make it resistant to a #COVID19 vaccine," tweeted of Oregon Health & Science University immunologist Mark Slifka on Wednesday.
Sinovac Biotech is now planning trials on thousands of human subjects.

COVID 19 - a Different Perspective
I am seeing alot of negative things about the Covid - 19 virus but let's just take a second to look at some positive things.
"Since the lockdown.....
Venice's canals have become crystal clear.
Italy coasts have dolphins coming nearer and nearer.
Japan now has deer roaming free in the streets, and Thailand: the same with monkeys.
China has record breaking pollution cuts.
The Earth has already began showing signs of amazing things that are happening from the absence of human pollution.
What if- and hear me out..- what if the entire human population used this as an opportunity to restart society on a greener, more environment conscious foot.
What we're seeing in the span of a couple of days is amazing. A pipe dream.
Maybe it's time for us humans to look after our planet, maybe it's time to listen to the universe . Things happen for a reason and maybe the planet just needs a bit of time to heal!
❤ See the positives even in crisis ❤

SPACEX SAYS IT WILL LAUNCH SPACE TOURISTS AS SOON AS NEXT YEAR
SpaceX announced a partnership this week with space tourism Space Adventures to start launching passengers to orbit aboard a Crew Dragon spacecraft starting as early as 2021, TechCrunch reports.
SpaceX says it will send four privately-paying space tourists to orbit the Earth for five days in its Crew Dragon capsule between "late-2021 and mid-2022," according to CNBC.
"This historic mission will forge a path to making spaceflight possible for all people who dream of it, and we are pleased to work with the Space Adventures' team on the mission," SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell said in a statement.
Space Adventures already sells seats on Russian Soyuz rockets.
SpaceX's passenger-carrying Crew Dragon capsule, developed as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, has so far completed a successful test trip and docking maneur to the International Space Station last year, but has yet to make the journey with any passengers on board.
Earlier this year, SpaceX tested its space taxi's emergency abort system in dramatic fashion, intentionally blowing up a Falcon 9 rocket in the process.

SCIENTISTS CREATE ARTIFICIAL GENOME THAT CAN REPRODUCE
German scientists say that for the first time ever, they've created a lab-grown artificial genome that can reproduce itself like a natural one.
It's not quite one of those replicants from "Blade Runner," but it's a step toward the holy grail of synthetic biology: fully artificial organisms that can survive and reproduce like the real thing.
In a paper published in the journal Nature Communications this week, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry describe how they assembled genomes made up of blueprints for proteins — and demonstrated that it was capable of replicating 116 kilobytes worth of its own RNA and DNA.
Next up, according to a press release, the team plans to build an "enveloped system" that can reproduce like this last one — but also consume nutrition and dispose of waste, like a living cell.

THESE ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CORONAVIRUS
As the deadly coronavirus 2019-nCoV spreads throughout the world, doctors are getting a better understanding of what symptoms and warning signs to keep an eye out for.
Some extreme cases involve patients coughing up blood or going into septic shock. More typically, however, symptoms remain milder — potentially letting some cases slip under the radar and worsening the outbreak.
Like other coronaviruses, 2019-nCoV can cause pneumonia and other respiratory and cardiovascular conditions: coughing, fever, fatigue, and soreness. Because the outbreak is in the middle of flu season, that can make distinguishing between the two difficult.
As the disease progresses, it can cause more severe symptoms including difficulty breathing, kidney injury, and heart damage.
The virus is most dangerous for the elderly or people who are already sick — the mortality rate is substantially higher within those particular groups than the general population.
Screening for new cases is also difficult because 2019-nCoV patients can spread the disease while they remain asymptomatic for as long as two weeks — compared to most viral infections which cause symptoms within the first few days.
As 2019-nCoV, the coronavirus that emerged in China last month, continues to spread to over a dozen countries, it's becoming increasingly clear that the elderly and chronically ill are at a greater risk than the general population.
The coronavirus can cause symptoms ranging in severity from fever and fatigue to pneumonia and septic shock. But older people, and people who were already sick before contracting 2019-nCoV, seem to be getting hit harder,

The Play Theory of Hunter-Gatherer Egalitarianism.
Play counters the tendency to dominate, in humans and in other mammals.
Anthropologists who have trekked to isolated regions of the world to observe hunter-gatherer societies—whether in Africa, Asia, South America or elsewhere—have consistently been impressed by the egalitarian nature of those societies (e.g. Ingold, 1999). The people live in small self-governing bands of about 20 to 50 people per band. They are nomadic, moving from place to place to follow the available game and edible vegetation.
Wherever else we look in the human world, outside of band hunter-gatherers, we see hierarchical structures, in which some people dominate others. Pre-state agrarian tribes are headed by chiefs; modern governments are headed by leaders, elected or not, that have the power to dominate. We see hierarchy in the workplace, where bosses tell employees what to do. We see it in gangs and in all sorts of formal or informal gatherings, especially of boys and men, who jockey, sometimes violently, for dominance. We see it in schools, where principals tell teachers what to do and teachers tell students what to do. We see it in families where parents dominate children. We also see dominance hierarchies almost everywhere we look in other primates, with alpha individuals (generally males) on top and frequent fighting for status.
It would seem from all this that we humans, or more generally all of us primates, are predisposed genetically to live in dominance hierarchies in which individuals, especially males, more or less continuously strive to move up in the hierarchy. But if that is so, then how do hunter-gatherers manage to live in their egalitarian way? Genes can't account for that difference. Indeed, people just a generation or so away from being hunter-gatherers, who now live in agricultural societies, often quickly lose their egalitarian tendencies and fall into dominance patterns.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER IMMUNE CELL THAT KILLS MOST CANCERS
A newly discovered immune cell could lead to the creation of a universal oncology treatment — a system that would work for all cancers, in all people.
The treatment leverages T-cells, a type of white blood cell that helps our bodies' immune systems by scanning for and killing abnormal cells. For background, scientists have recently started harnessing that ability in the fight against cancer through CAR-T, which involves removing T-cells from a patient's blood and genetically engineering them to seek out and destroy cancer cells.
While promising, CAR-T has limitations. It's patient-specific, works against only a small number of cancers, and isn't effective against solid tumors, which comprise the majority of cancers.
On Monday, researchers from Cardiff University published a new study in the journal Nature Immunology detailing their discovery of a T-Cell equipped with a new type of T-cell receptor (TCR) that recognizes a molecule called MR1.
This molecule appears on the surface of many types of cancer cells as well as healthy cells, but T-cells equipped with this TCR know to kill only cancer cells.
And not just the kind linked to a single type of cancer, either. When the Cardiff researchers equipped T-cells in lab tests with this new TCR, the cells killed lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer cells — all while ignoring healthy cells.
In another lab test, the team modified the T-cells of melanoma patients to express the newly discovered TCR and found that the cells could then target and destroy both that patient's own cancer cells and the cancer cells of other patients.
The team has yet to test the modified T-cells in actual cancer patients, but when tested in mice injected with human cancers, the cells recognized the MR1 molecule and exhibited "encouraging" cancer-killing abilities, according to a Cardiff press release.
The Cardiff scientists now plan to conduct additional tests. If those goes as hoped, the treatment could be ready for patients within a few years, researcher Andrew Sewell said in the press release.
"Cancer-targeting via MR1-restricted T-cells is an exciting new frontier," he added. "It raises the prospect of a 'one-size-fits-all' cancer treatment; a single type of T-cell that could be capable of destroying many different types of cancers across the population. Previously nobody believed this could be possible."

Police have caught yet another driver abusing Tesla's Autopilot system — but this time, he was cleaning his tooth
On Wednesday 9th January, Sergeant Kerry Schmidt of Ontario Provincial Police tweeted that an officer had charged a 58-year-old man with careless driving. The explanation? He was flossing his teeth using both hands while his Autopilot-enabled Model S was driving 135 kilometers per hour (84 mile per hour).
In its current form, Tesla's Autopilot system can only assist drivers, not free them from the task of driving altogether — a distinction the company makes clear on its website.
"Autopilot enables your car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically within its lane," Tesla writes. "Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous."
However, that hasn't stopped countless Tesla owners from letting Autopilot take over while they sleep, drive drunk, and even having sex.
After a video of yet another sleeping Tesla owner made the rounds online in September, Tesla released a statement clarifying that its driver-monitoring system issues warnings designed to prevent drivers from relying on Autopilot.
Clearly, those warnings didn't stop the flossing Tesla owner, demonstrating once again that the company should probably be doing more to keep its drivers' attention on the road.

Time Travel and Time Machine is a reality
Astrophysicist Ron Mallett believes he's found a way to travel back in time — theoretically.
The tenured University of Connecticut physics professor recently told CNN that he's written a scientific equation that could serve as the foundation for an actual time machine. He's even built a prototype device to illustrate a key component of his theory — though Mallett's peers remain unconvinced that his time machine will ever come to fruition.
To understand Mallett's machine, you need to know the basics of Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, which states that time accelerates or decelerates depending on the speed at which an object is moving.
Based on that theory, if a person was in a spaceship traveling near the speed of light, time would pass more slowly for them than it would for someone who remained on Earth. Essentially, the astronaut could zip around space for less than a week, and when they returned to Earth, 10 years would have passed for the people they'd left behind, making it seem to the astronaut like they'd time traveled to the future.
But while most physicists accept that skipping forward in time in that way is probably possible, time traveling to the past is a whole other issue — and one Mallett thinks he could solve using lasers.

Mr President. See what 100 days can do for you.
Its now 100 days since the coronation. So what actually has been achieved?
Much was made by Mr Donald Trump, the property mogul, itinerant hotelier and now President of the United States, as he crisscrossed the US on the Campaign Trail, of what he would achieve in his first 100 Days in office. Theoretically, it can take 100 seconds to boil an egg, and 100 minutes to travel from London to Birmingham. It also took Napoleon Bonaparte 100 days to travel from exile in St Helena to the battlefield at Waterloo. How then has the President fared?
For a man who appears to live part of his life through the medium of the 'tweet.' a man who likes to reveal his inner thoughts through a somewhat limited vocabulary and a flurry of poor spelling, he has kept up his incessant chatter during his first 100 days.
One has to also wonder at the sagacity of using his own private estate and working Hotel, Mar-a-Lago in Florida, as a place to entertain and discuss policy with foreign dignitaries; was that not the purpose of Camp David after all? Apart from the logistical nightmare, these events must cause immeasurable security hazards and the cost to the American purse astronomical. On the other hand, it does allow him to play as much golf as he likes - the very thing he criticised Barak Obama for doing! As he explained in an interview with Reuters, he thought that being President would be 'easier.' He is a man who appears riven by deep-rooted insecurities, who does not take criticism well and has to turn to friends to find out their opinions on matters of State.
He has openly said that he misses driving and his old life, hates being crowded by secret service agents all the time and still seems strangely obsessed by his election results, showing and telling about them at every opportunity.
A much-mooted lynchpin on the campaign trail is still in development. Asking about tenders, speculating about height and position is one thing, actually building it is another. Mexico has said NO. Congress has said NO, and with its threat of imminent shut-down on Friday, it won't happen anytime soon, so where to now?
One can only wonder what the Chinese President Xi Jinping thought on the evening of April 8th after Trump had been called away to answer an urgent telephone call during their formal dinner.
Returning to the table to say as he later told Fox News,'We had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you have ever seen...And President Xi was enjoying it...I said Mr President, let me explain something to you.This was during dessert...I said, we've just launched 59 missiles heading for Iraq;' of course, he meant to say Syria, which if regaled at the time must have given the Chinese President a bout of instant indigestion. As the UK Foreign Secretary said yesterday Military Action, with UK assistance, is still on the table. As regards to North Korea, the President asserted that conflict was a possibility, but that all options were still on the table.
And regarding the intervention in Afghanistan, all options were also still on the table! Pretty big table eh?
He has said much and indeed signed much, but the legislation actually does not add up to much - far less than the Obama administration at this time. At home, the economy is stable although in his tax-cuts he, of course, favoured the rich, and with his trade talks, Europe is more likely to come out on top rather than the UK, in any future deals.
As the 100-day milestone is reached tomorrow -Saturday - one thing is sure; President Trump is a changed man from Mr Trump.
He now realises that being on the inside looking out is a lot different from being on the outside looking in. A man with no political training has to learn fast in the position he finds himself. If he has actually learnt anything will only become apparent to the rest of the Word in time?


Wine moves people. One of the pleasures in making wine is the opportunity we have to meet like-minded people who are as moved as we are by wine. Throw in a plate of cheese and salumi served in a beautiful environment and sometimes we make lifelong friends.
This experience at Peay Vineyards is open only to mailing list customers who purchase from the mailing list. We must limit visits as there are only three of us doing everything in the winery from growing the grapes to making the wine to selling it around the country.
If you would like to set up an appointment, please email Jenn at jenn@peayvineyards.com far in advance and please understand that we have young children so we are often not available on weekends.
We also have Open Houses on a Saturday every spring where we pull lots of corks. We hope to share an afternoon with you soon at the winery in Cloverdale or out on the coast.


. We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight, Producing what? It also allows the author to describe a scene without describing every aspect of the scene. Uncommon and story symbols can be hard to distinguish. Most stories operate almost wholly at the literal level, and, even in highly symbolical stories, most details are purely literal. However, the caduceus has become synonymous with medicine.
Naturally, the reader must also have prior experience with the color in order to interpret the symbolism that the creator has in mind correctly. Renaissance Period During the , a lot of the art was Biblical in nature. There are also cultural symbols, such as a dove representing peace. Color symbolism in Gothic literature Gothic Literature is known for its use of Red and Black as the symbolism associated with these colors really draw the readers in to evoke an emotional response while creating an atmosphere. Many people own things that have special meaning for them, such as a gift from a loved one that represents that bond. James is a programmer by day, writer by night. Mother calls them a glass menagerie! This is symbolic of the fact that people are putting on a show and that they play many roles over the course of their lives.
Everyday example of symbolism: The Statue of Liberty is a symbol for freedom. For example, in The Great Gatsby by F. Fine Examples of Symbolism in Literature Symbolism is one of the most important aspects of literature. Black also has negative connotations especially in poetry, and when combined with red or orange can create a highly aggressive color scheme. When and where to use symbolism is often more important than the symbols used. How Do You Use Symbolism? This is easy to do and adds to what the writer is trying to say, but using it too often can turn a good story and potentially good writing, into a series of obvious, unsubtle clichés. It may also symbolize evil or something bad.
Color Symbolism in Literature: What Do Colors Mean in Literature and Poetry?
Meyer Wolfsheim, a gambler, is first introduced to the narrator of the novel in a dark restaurant cellar. End your research paper worries in less than 5 Minutes! Money and time are two different things; this is an example of symbolism because these words show the importance of using your money and time wisely. Even letters and words themselves are symbols, because our brain turns those markings into thoughts and ideas. Light is used to symbolize idealism and dreams. In literary usage, symbol is a manner of representation in which what is shown normally a reference to something material means, by virtue of association, something more or something else. The symbolism can be an object, person, situation, events or actions that have a deeper meaning in context. It is also an unstable color associated with cowardice and mental illness.
You would actually be put off by the idea of red standing for evil and you wouldn't be able to see the devil as the author wants it to be seen. The image itself does not mean medicine. Therefore, an image of this object could conjure images or ideas of freedom. Darkness is often used to convey negativity: evil, death or the unknown. Tolkien never differentiated between the two works to suggest that one might contain symbolism while the other did not. He wanted to express a different, simpler reality than the complex material world we live in.
What is the purpose of symbolism in literature?
Smith Goes to Washington, the classic Frank Capra film in which James Stewart plays a naïve newcomer who holds the Senate hostage for longer even than Strom Thurmond did, before collapsing in fatigue and triumph. This technique can enhance writing and give insight to the reader. An author can even create certain feelings about the day or night in the scene by the colors they use to describe it. Just about anything can be a symbol. Types of Symbols A symbol most commonly presents itself as a word, a figure of speech, an event or a character. What does a lily stand for? He may just want to represent that idea with something else. Red is also the color of fire and blood and can symbolize energy, war, danger, strength, determination, passion, as well as love.
The first path helooked down until itbent in theundergrowth. Story symbols are often the most powerful types of symbols. Of course, many of these do wind up in books, magazines, stories, and other written works. Poetry and symbolism work together to illuminate the darker corners of life, and give us greater appreciation for the light. A type of flower, called a sword lily, becomes a symbol of surviving through his grief.
These light-filled elements are brief, emphasizing the fleeting nature of beauty and life. If I said thattime of yearrepresentedpart of yourlife, what partof your lifewould it be? Scott Fitzgerald also used darkness and light symbols. So the bread is a symbol of a way home. Symbolism helps create meaning and emotion in a story. The scene probably left you with a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Community Access to the Arts nurtures and celebrates the creativity of people with disabilities through the arts.
Together, we're creating a vibrant, joyously creative, and inclusive community. You make CATA possible!
Through a rich array of arts workshops—in painting, dance, theater, singing, drumming, juggling, yoga, creative writing, and more— CATA artists tap into their potential, explore new talents, and share their unique points of view. Public events including our annual performance and year-round art exhibits bring our whole community into the act—shining a light on the ability within disability.
This is what we know:
The arts transcend difference.
Creativity can be embraced by all of us.
Tiny moments of connection lead to tidal transformations!
CATA's vision of inclusion takes work. Our arts workshops take place weekly so that our artists have the chance to build on their talents, class after class. We forge strong partnerships with other organizations — social service agencies, day-habilitation programs, residences, and schools— so we can reach as many people with disabilities as possible. We hire professional faculty–all working artists themselves–to lead our programs. Because that's what our CATA artists deserve. And, we work closely with prominent cultural organizations to showcase the talents of our CATA artists for our whole community, in art exhibits, performances, and poetry readings.
CATA is about creating the community we all believe in: one that recognizes the value of ALL of its members.

Workshops Annually
While working as a dance therapist for adults with disabilities, CATA founder Sandra Newman was inspired to create community through the arts. In 1993, she founded Community Access to the Arts (CATA), a non-profit arts organization that unleashes the creative talents of people with disabilities, using the arts to connect them with the wider community.
Beginning with one workshop in 1993, CATA has since grown to over 1,500 workshops annually, actively involving hundreds of individuals and many partner organizations from across Berkshire and Columbia counties.
Following a three year transition process, Margaret Keller became Executive Director in 2014, and CATA has continued to flourish.
