Bioengineering Program Makes Rapid Progress
Interim Head of University's Newest Department Mapping Out the Future
By Office of Media Relations •April 9, 2010
The time is right for re-examining how engineers, computer scientists, physicians, biologists and others can work together to advance medicine, says Dr. Mathukumalli Vidyasagar, just-appointed interim head of the new Department of Bioengineering at UT Dallas.
"There is a fundamental transformation going on, whereby biology is nowadays as much an information-based science as it is an experiment-based science," he said. "Rapid advances in technology have made it easy to generate vast amounts of raw data, and the next step is interpreting these data, finding patterns and unearthing new biological phenomena."
Fresh out of discussions with a variety of researchers from UT Dallas and UT Southwestern Medical Center, Vidyasagar attributes the enthusiasm he encountered to the recognition that opportunities also exist for collaboration in medical imaging, biomechanical devices, diagnostics and many other areas.
"I have found what can only be described as a groundswell of interest in this program," he said.
After several years in the planning stages, bioengineering has made rapid progress at UT Dallas in the past six months: The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board OK'd creation of the department – granting permission to offer master's and doctoral degrees in biomedical engineering – UT Dallas joined the existing biomedical engineering partnership between UT Southwestern and UT Arlington, and the first bioengineering faculty were hired.
Bioengineering is the fifth academic department in the University's Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, which only two years ago had just two departments. In addition to its longtime departments of electrical engineering and computer science, the Jonsson School launched a department of mechanical engineering and a department of materials science and engineering in 2008.
The school's strategic plan calls for enrollment of 150 bioengineering students by 2015 and 300 students by 2020. Administrators are confident Vidyasagar will move quickly toward creating a world-class bioengineering program.
"Dr. Vidyasagar is a world-renowned researcher in computational biology, learning theory, robotics and controls, and he also has extensive experience as an administrator," said Dr. Mark W. Spong, dean of the Jonsson School and holder of the Lars Magnus Ericsson Chair in Electrical Engineering. "He is already actively leading efforts to further strengthen our close ties with UT Southwestern and to identify research space and continue recruiting faculty."
Bioengineering faculty are expected to collaborate with researchers in electrical engineering, materials science, biology, chemistry and other areas at UT Dallas as well as with researchers from a variety of disciplines at both UT Southwestern and UT Arlington.
Vidyasagar himself is currently working on overhauling costly drug development methods through early computational prediction of potential side effects.
"For the department as a whole, I think we have an opportunity to distinguish ourselves from more-established departments by focusing specifically on the implementation of new and existing technologies into clinical medicine," he said. "By this I don't mean we will neglect basic science but that the new department should go the extra mile to ensure our research actually has an impact on clinical medicine."
From an initial core of five or six faculty already at UT Dallas, he expects another 10 to 15 additional existing UT Dallas faculty to establish an affiliation with the new department plus another 10 or 15 researchers from UT Southwestern.
"So we potentially could have a department of 30 or 35 people very quickly," he said.
Vidyasagar is the Cecil and Ida Green Chair of Systems Biological Sciences. Prior to joining UT Dallas last year he was executive vice president in charge of advanced technology at Tata Consultancy Services, India's largest information technology firm, where he created a technology center that consisted of about 80 engineers and scientists working on e-security, advanced encryption methods and bioinformatics. He holds his doctorate as well as master's and bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
"All in all, I sense a great deal of goodwill from everyone to make the bioengineering program a great success," he said.
Downplaying his own role, however, he added: "I think I am like the man who is skiing ahead of an avalanche while pretending to lead it."
"I have found what can only be described as a groundswell of interest in this program," said Dr. Mathukumalli Vidyasagar.
The flagship publication of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers recently featured an article that looks at Mathukumalli Vidyasagar and his efforts to overhaul costly drug development methods.

Google Pixel 3 specification,After Samsung and Apple have revealed their hands, Google's flagship smartphones are usually the last of the year. This can be both a good and a bad thing. The good part is that it gives Google time to monitor trends, responds to the user's responses and responds to the market in advance, so it can tweak and tune the design and experience of its pixel phone.
On the flip side, most buyers would have pulled the trigger on their new phone, which is predominantly pixel-loyal or hoping for some dropouts to deal with the sale of the holiday season. Also, before we know it, we will again have MWC, where new Android phones with new hardware will be unveiled, pixels will be put in a tight spot.
In any case, Google looks right on its October launch schedule and Q, now we have a reasonable named Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphone. This pair replaces Google's Pixel 2 (review) and Pixel 2 XL (review) phones, which was part of their drawbacks to weaken, but excellence in the camera department was achieved. There are some big shoes to fill that area in the new series, but have Google managed to fix other swallowing issues that have troubled its predecessors? Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL are true flagships, a lot of the word? We have spent a few hours with them and here is our first impression.
Before proceeding, let's just say that in recent times the rumors and rumors you've seen and heard about the phones to easily create the two most mysterious secrets are all the places. In the box, Google now sends a pixel Blu-style USB Type-C headset in the box, which is good and you still get type-in 3.5 mm dongles for legacy headphones. The rest of the stuff is like our last time and the quality is once again on the top.
Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL feel incredibly premium compared to last year's offers. One of the reasons for this is that Google has removed the matte coating for aluminum frames and has gone with shiny finish and glass back for the sides. Three-quarters of the rear glass has a cold coating, which gives it a nice texture and it also holds some which are otherwise a very slippery surface.
Pixel 3 is definitely more comfortable and it is also lightweight, which we estimate, many would prefer. It does not have a footing in it but instead, you get 18: 9 aspect ratios with heavy round edges. While displaying things like the time and battery indicator in the latter Android causes some minor aesthetic inconvenience, which almost touches the display. Compared to the XL model, there is a lot of difference, which looks a little better. Full-HD + resolution is lower than XL, which is QHD +, but by converting both phones into more than 400ppi pixel density, it is almost impossible to tell the difference.
The pixel panel of pixel 2 XL was tilted with Gate-Go issues, but this time, things look better, sort them. Both phones use "flexible OLED" panels and on 100% brightness, pixels 3 have crisp white and it is also a light bright. Both phones appear to have slightly colored shifts, however, when you look at them at an angle, then pixel 3 bends on the hot, red color while the pixel 3 XL is slightly in the blue color. This is definitely not as prominent as the issue of last year and is only noticeable on the white background. Apart from this, colors are also porous and well saturated with color profiles set on 'natural'. We will do more and more tests to see how this affects the game and every day, so stay close to our full review.
Both phones have a single SIM slot at the bottom, stereo speakers which are not very strong and no headphone socket. There is a new dual front camera system, which allows you to capture a group of regular or wide angle safes and new camera shooting modes. Just black on Pixel 3 looks good but Clary White was on Pixel 3XL which really attracted our attention.
Talking about pixel 3XL, it's really hard to talk about that footprint, and boy, this is a big one. We will reserve our decision on this and see if it grows on us after using it for the next few days or not. It seems that since Google actually had a fit in two designs, there was no option with its design and the earpiece would take the room. It could have been able to connect everyone together but then to get official software support with Android Pie, what kind of example would it set up? Given that pixel phones are generally blueprints to get out of Android, Google had to show others how to do it.
In the case of specifications, both Snapdragon 845 runs on mobile platforms, 4 GB RAM and non-expandable 64 GB internal storage. They are IP 68 certified, support wireless charging, and Android 9 pie run on the stock.

Modesty for Men

Modesty for Men January 1, 2016 Max Lindenman
A few months ago, I had a Skype conversation with a Catholic writer who is a woman. Though impressed by her work, I had also found it a bit dour in spots. Consequently, I expected to find myself screen-to-screen with a frump.
Rarely have I guessed so wrong. Land o' Goshen, she was a looker – and a charmer to boot, with a smile that could melt steel girders, leaving truthers no room to quibble. The purpose of the call was strictly professional, but something dreadful happened. The social equivalent of muscle memory kicked in, and I found myself trying to impress her by recycling, over the next 45 minutes, every single clever thing I'd said or written over the past five years. The poor woman must have felt like those 300 Spartans at Thermopylae, fighting in the shade of Persian arrows.
By the most indulgent of secular standards, this was pure doucherie. According to Catholic moral theology it was something worse: an offense against modesty. Normally when people speak of modesty in a religious context, they're referring to women's dress – whether such and such an outfit shows too much décolletage or drumstick. Defined more broadly and in a unisex way, modesty is one of the virtues subordinated to Temperance, which governs, in accordance with reason, man's basic drives toward enjoyment, self-preservation, and self-assertion. A modest person of any sex knows when and how not to show off.
The Catholic Encyclopedia calls modesty "the outpost and safeguard of chastity." It's an image to stir any Beau Geste fan's heart: brave little modesty, manning the embrasures of Fort Chastity and facing down the galloping hordes of concupiscence with the Maxim guns of Shame and Reason. But it's important to note here that concupiscence accounts for other appetites beyond the merely physical. Indeed, the friction of bodies is not the only appealing part of sex. There's also the satisfaction that comes from being selected – from being told, in so many words, "Yes, your genes will do."
What I was seeking, in that Skype conversation, was not a literal tryst. That would have been too glaringly sinful, not to mention a technical impossibility. Instead I was angling for some sign that, under very different circumstances, I would have been worthy of one. The late militant atheist Christopher Hitchens painted it to the life when he referred to the "real, out-loud, head-back, mouth-open-to-expose-the-full-horseshoe-of-lovely-teeth, involuntary" bursts of laughter that inform a guy his quips are hitting the bull's-eye.
A modesty fail can be said to have occurred because my thirst for admiration slipped reason's moorings. First it fixed itself on an unsuitable object – someone who'd granted me her time for purposes that didn't include admiring my wit. Second it monopolized that time, effectively wasting it. Third, by reducing the woman to a potential source of admiration, it treated her as a means to an end, which left her short the charity I owed her as a neighbor. In pursuit of that one transitory end, I ended up committing a small cluster of sins.
In Dawn Eden's book The Thrill of the Chaste, Kevin Tierney offers a prescription for modesty that sounds a bit on the stern side:
When I help others, am I doing it so people can realize how generous and great I am? When I sing and pray at Mass, am I elevating my voice just a little bit so that everyone can hear how good I sing?…In short, how much am I like Christ (who lived a life of having himself despised for our sake) and how much like the Pharisee, who though fully and ornately clothed radiated immodesty.
A certain amount of self-advertising is necessary for obtaining goods, like jobs and new friends, that even a well-ordered appetite would desire. For those in the market, it is absolutely essential for the acquisition of a mate. We might say that modesty should check self-assertion when it aims at goods beyond these – fame for fame's sake, power for power's sake, sex for pleasure's sake, or in my case, admiration for validation's sake.
Now, it's relatively easy for me, a life-celibate, to remind myself to squash occasional impulses to strut the rusted debris of my stuff. What practical advice I would give to a young Catholic guy – an undergrad at Steubenville, say, or Dallas – I have no idea. Even kids that age who aren't rutting like brute beasts are jockeying for pride of place like bighorned sheep on jimson weed. In that state of barely tamed nature, hearing that reason is proper to man just doesn't sound very convincing.
I suppose I would refer them to Josef Pieper, who writes that Temperance, modesty's umbrella corporation, "renders men beautiful," but "with a more spiritual, more austere, more virile aspect." It is as though the soul, by drawing nearer to God, causes a cleft to form in the chin.
Pieper continues:
It is not easy to read in a man's face whether he is just or unjust. Temperance or intemperance, however, loudly proclaim themselves in the order or disorder of the features, in the attitude, the laugh, the handwriting. Temperance, as the inner order of man, can as little remain "purely interior" as the soul itself, and as all other life of the soul or mind. It is the nature of the soul to be "the form of the body."
In other words, for a young bookworm or aesthete to fear being mistaken for Ven. Pope Pius XII is perfectly understandable. But woe betide him who breaks that mold too eagerly. Before long, he might end up being mistaken for Bluto from Animal House.

Joshua likes to put things in odd places. The other day I was putting on my shoes and couldn't get my right foot in the shoe, and I found a toy orange he put in my shoe. One day I couldn't find my keys, and it turned out that he had put them in a small nook in the air conditioner. The other morning I opened up the microwave door to find his toy boat sitting right in the middle of the microwave. I've found a variety of toys, cups, crayons in my underwear drawer, and Cliff took weeks to find his drawing tablet pen in a cardboard box in Joshua's closet. Tonight while I was making these blueberry muffins, I found a train station master in the oven mitt.
I have seriously contemplated starting a photo album called "Things that don't belong". It would include a picture of my iPod in the toilet.
The muffin recipe came from my friend who passed away back in the summer. I love her recipes. This one and the blueberry lemon bar are my all time favorites. No tweaking of her recipe is ever required. Check out her blog HERE and all the great soup recipes too.

Even with Atlantic City casinos struggling, New Jersey officials may ask voters to expand gambling to the northern part of the state—and some companies are ready with ambitious plans to get a piece of the action.
Hard Rock International and the Meadowlands Racetrack are set to unveil plans for a casino Wednesday that would be just west of New York City and next to MetLifeStadium, which draws hundreds of thousands of fans across the Hudson River to watch the New York Giants and New York Jets.
Plans for a $4 billion casino complex adjacent to Liberty National Golf Course on the waterfront in Jersey City are also in the works. Billionaire investor Paul Fireman is proposing a high-end resort featuring a 90-story hotel, 14 restaurants, a theater and a complex of pools on a 200-acre site that would be linked to New York City by ferry service, people familiar with the plan said.
While developers are armed with blueprints, lawmakers in Trenton remain divided on whether—and how quickly—a referendum should be placed before voters to authorize the largest expansion of gambling in the state since a 1976 vote legalized casinos in Atlantic City.
Some elected officials are pushing for a vote this November, while others are calling for one in November 2016, when voter turnout is expected to be much higher because of the presidential election. The fight has exposed regional fault-lines that transcend party, with at least one South Jersey Republican voicing rare public criticism of Gov. Chris Christie.
Mr. Christie, a Republican who has committed to bolstering Atlantic City's flagging casino industry, has endorsed expanding gambling immediately elsewhere in the state if some of the tax revenue generated by additional venues helped the struggling seaside resort.
"I certainly would be publicly supportive of getting this question done as soon as possible," Mr. Christie said when asked about North Jersey casinos on his monthly radio show last week.
On Monday, three northern New Jersey Democrats unveiled a resolution to put the gambling expansion before voters.
As proposed, the ballot question would ask voters whether the state Constitution should be amended to allow for up to three casinos in Bergen, Essex or Hudson counties.
A portion of the taxes collected from the casino revenue would go to fund programs for the elderly and disabled, along with a dedicated allotment to help Atlantic City develop visitor attractions beyond gambling.
If approved by voters, lawmakers then would pass legislation to authorize the expansion and hammer out the details. The amendment doesn't specify how much the casinos would be taxed, but the operator of the Meadowlands Racetrack has floated a levy of 55% as part of its plan. Atlantic City now imposes an 8% tax on gambling proceeds.
To be placed on the ballot, three-fifths of lawmakers in both chambers would have to support it by Aug. 3. But with a summer recess looming, proponents said they need to get moving this month on convincing lawmakers to go forward with the referendum this year.
Many lawmakers in South Jersey are in no rush, saying the impact of new casinos on Atlantic City's economy could be devastating.
"Casinos in North Jersey are a bad idea, and I disagree with both Gov. Christie and the Democrats who control both the Senate and Assembly on this issue," Assemblyman Sam Fiocchi, a Republican who represents South Jersey, said in a statement.
Senate President Steve Sweeney, the Legislature's ranking Democrat who represents South Jersey, has said he supports North Jersey casinos but favors putting a referendum before voters next year. It takes time to build support and turnout will be higher during the presidential election, his aides said.
Allowing for two casinos in northern New Jersey could generate more than $500 million in gambling revenue, according to an analysis by Deutsche Bank. The casinos would be particularly lucrative given their proximity to New York City and some 13 million people with a median household income above $65,000, the analysis said.
In Atlantic City, gambling revenue has continued to plummet, falling to $2.74 billion last year from a peak of $5.2 billion in 2006. Four Atlantic City casinos closed last year.
With the specter of New Jersey gambling expanding, potential operators have jockeyed behind the scenes in Trenton to amass support for their proposals and have drawn up elaborate plans.
Developers of the Liberty Rising project have continued to refine the plans since elements were first made public last year. It no longer features a Ferris wheel that was billed as the largest in the world at the time, the people said. The number of hotel rooms has been reduced to about 1,500 from the 3,000 originally proposed, and a racetrack has been eliminated, the people said.
The Liberty Rising proposal is projected to generate at least $1.5 billion in gambling revenue a year and create 6,000 permanent jobs. Unlike the Meadowlands plan, its backers are looking to pay the current 8% casino tax along with an additional 5% to set aside in a fund to benefit Atlantic City and other projects.
Mr. Christie said he doesn't favor any single proposal, and would want to see details of all of them before offering his opinion.

Q: How to load a 'POST' type page into an iframe in Ember? I have an old JSP page in my project. I need to include this page into my new page, where my new UI side is complete EmberJS.
Things that I have tried

*

*I got the rendered HTML from JSP using an ajax call and try to render with {{{ var }}} handlebar, But there are lots of scripts inside the page. They are not getting parsed or executed.

How can I load the page into an iframe? The page is POST type.

A: You can create a hidden form that point the target to the iframe, then trigger the click() event on the hidden submit button when document loaded.
For Example
<form action="YOUR_JSP_URL" method="post" target="myIframe">
  <input id="postToIframeBtn" style="display: none" type="submit" value=" " />
</form>

<iframe name="myIframe" src=""></iframe>
<script>
document.getElementById("postToIframeBtn").click();
</script>

A: Short answer, try to insert them into DOM inside components didInsertElement hook using jQuery.
Do not use {{{}}} it only work with HTML inserting.

'My Lip Filler Went Awfully Wrong - I Looked Like A Chipmunk And Ended Up In Hospital'
Josie thought she looked like a 'chipmunk' (Image: @josiecatexplinx | TikTok)
A woman has revealed she was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after her lip filler went wrong. Model J osie Aplin needed anti-inflammatory medication after the beauty treatment saw her upper lip double in size - and she says she looked like a "chipmunk".
The 20-year-old student from Australia documented her horrifying experience on TikTok. Posting as @josiecatexplinx, she shared a video with a series of photos showing the result.
"POV you booked in for lip filler," read the first picture caption. In the successive shots, she can then be seen with large lips and swollen facial features. "Looking sexy with my new filler," she quipped, before sharing a photo of herself in an ambulance on the way to hospital. She also added the hashtag #Chipmunk to her post.
Thankfully, Josie has confirmed that she is okay following the ordeal and is able to look on the funny side of things.
When her video racked up over 80,000 views, plus a number of replies from concerned viewers, she was quick to offer reassurance.
One TikTok commenter questioned how the hospital helped her, and Josie said: "They just gave me a stronger does (sic) on anti inflammatory medication hehe."
The model also claimed: "Swelling is normal as well as pain, usually just get advised to take anti inflammatory meds."
And when a different commenter asked: "Are you okay now?", she replied: "Yes!!" Elsewhere, she appeared to exchange jokes with a commenter. When one person said: "Looks so good sweatie [sic]!" she wrote: "So slay so slay."
Here in the UK, MPs have warned lip fillers must be made prescription-only like botox and that regulation is needed.
Speaking earlier this year, Jeremy Hunt said: "The Government must act urgently to end the situation where anyone can carry out non-surgical cosmetic procedures, regardless of training or qualifications.
"We heard of some distressing experiences – a conveyor belt approach with procedures carried out with no questions asked, procedures that have gone wrong, the use of filthy premises.
"It was clear throughout our inquiry that some groups are particularly vulnerable to exploitation in this growing market that has gone largely unregulated."
There is no reason to suggest J osie did not seek treatment from a qualified professional or that her treatment provider made any mistakes.

REED CITY — Local Boy Scout Troop 74 was chosen to meet Vice President Mike Pence during his visit on Mackinac Island on Sept. 21.
Scout leader Dan Burchett said the troop was chosen from more than 1250 scouts that were attending the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Mackinac Rendezvous that weekend.
Organizers for the rendevous hand picked those who would meet the vice president based on their participation in activities, the amount of time they spend camping through the year, how well they perform at flag ceremonies, and representing the BSA well by wearing their class A uniforms when participating in scout activities.
"It was a great opportunity for these scouts to meet one of the most powerful people in the country," Burchett said. "It was an opportunity to do something no one else has done, and they all took something from it."
Burchett said the scouts did not know the vice president would be there when they arrived at the rendezvous. On Friday night the organizers informed them they had been chosen to meet some diplomats that were on the island.
"They told us there would be some diplomats there, but they didn't know who it would be," Burchett said. "They told us to dress sharp and make sure we come prepared. It was very exciting when we saw who it was."
Each member of the troop had the opportunity to shake hands with the vice president and some got to take a selfie with him.
Reed City Mayor Trevor Guiles said, "It is quite an accomplishment and quite an honor to be chosen out of more than 1000 scouts. It shows what a quality troop we have here in Reed City, and we are very proud of them."
"This shows they have a lot of professionalism, they have their act together, they do things right and do their activities appropriately. The scout leaders do as well, and we are very proud of the whole group," he added.
Local Troop 74 attends the Mackinac Rendezvous every two years. It is an opportunity for different scout troops to get together and participate in a variety of activities. They camp out for the weekend at Mackinac Mill Creek campground and spend a day on the island touring Fort Mackinac and other historical sites, as well as visiting other island attractions.
The troop participates in numerous community activities throughout the year as well, including the Refresh Reed City clean up, putting up flags for holidays, removing flags that need retiring, and recycling. They plan to participate in the upcoming Smithsonian Museum on Main Street exhibit and will include guided tours of their own historical exhibit at the scout center.

News – March 2015
Owen Hewitson - LacanOnline.com April 4, 2015 News – March 20152015-04-04T20:41:20+01:00 News No Comment
Lacanian Ink 45, the latest edition of the long-running journal, went to the printers in late March and is due to be released shortly. Number 45 takes 'The Wicked Other' as its theme and features three contributions by Jacques-Alain Miller, as well as Josefina Ayerza, the publication's founder who also runs Lacan.com. For updates on the release date, follow the journal's Facebook page. Alternatively, subscribe to receive each edition as it comes out, or browse previews of past editions on the site.
March saw the publication of Lacan on Madness: Yes You Can't, a collection of essays by Lacanian scholars on the theme of psychosis, edited by Patricia Gherovici and Manya Steinkoler. The book features clinical case studies, new theoretical developments in psychosis, and critical appraisal of artistic expressions of insanity.
Trevor Pederson's The Economics of Libido: Psychic Bisexuality, the Superego, and the Centrality of the Oedipus Complex was also published in March. Although not strictly a Lacanian work, it should also be of interest to anyone approaching psychoanalysis through a Lacanian orientation insofar as it proposes another 'return to Freud' through philosophy and,f like Lacan, undertakes a close reading of Freud's texts. Pederson summarises his argument at the start of the book: "The central argument I make in the text, under the heading of social ontology, is that Freud gives a model of the personality that is built upon the primary relatedness of the individual through the drives. An individual doesn't rationally choose to be ambitious, shy, arrogant, or kind based up value but, rather, these are part of his "psychological constitution" of the ego and object drives and their relation to the superego."
Looking ahead, among the publications due out in April is Lacanian analyst Agnes Aflalo's The Failed Assassination of Psychoanalysis: The Rise and Fall of Cognitivism. Following in a similar vein to Eric Laurent's Lost in Cognition, which received an English translation earlier this year, Aflalo's book is a critique of cognitivism and the 'learning' model that represents a rejection of fundamental psychoanalytic concepts such as the unconscious and the drive.
On the subject of cognitivism, clinical psychologist and psychotherapist Jay Watts published an excellent article in March on CBT – 'Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Does Not Exist'. Her argument is that CBT only exists "as a political convenience". Founded on an extremely facile conception of human subjectivity, CBT's therapeutic approach – according to the Beck Institute that bears the name of the movement's founder – aims to help people "to think more realistically and… behave more functionally", and "to modify their distorted thinking". Watts' article argues that the dominance of this view has "sucked into the CBT vortex" theories that bear little or no relation to its central tenets (such as attachment theory and mindfulness), in order to satisfy the conditions for funding, grants, and students, which are dependent on demonstrating a worldview stemming from the cognitive-behavioural model.
Finally among the publications, S, the Journal of the Circle for Lacanian Ideology Critique, devotes its forthcoming issue to 'Capitalism and Psychoanalysis'. Details of how to contribute to the journal, and links to download its previous articles, are on its site here.
Professor of Psychoanalysis at Ghent University Stijn Vanheule has put together a YouTube video demonstrating how the optical illusion of the inverted vase Lacan discusses in Seminar I works. Using two mirrors, one concave and one plain, the illusion creates the appearance that a bunch of flowers stood upright on a table are encompassed by a vase, which is actually inverted below the table, directly underneath the flowers:
Lacan uses this illusion in Seminar I (and continues to use it until Seminar X) to describe the nature of identification, and the relation between the libidinal drives and the ego. The viewer "will see the real image of the vase encompassing the bouquet, and will give a style and unity to it – a reflection of the unity of the body." (Seminar I, p.123). Prof Vanheule has written substantially about this model before – read his 2011 article in Frontiers in Psychology online here.
Among the events, Marie-Hélène Brousse, Professor of Psychoanalysis at the University of Paris VIII, will be the guest speaker at the Irish Circle of the Lacanian Orientation's seminar in Dublin on 18th April on 'Women's bodies in the analytic experience'. Brousse will be speaking as part of a series of seminars in preparation of the forthcoming WAP Congress in Rio on The Speaking Body.
Coming up in Rome in June is the annual meeting of the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organisations. Included in its programme are two sessions using Lacan's work. Firstly on Weds 10th June with 'Organisational Consultation & Coaching in a Network Society' with Simon Western and Philip Boxer, followed by 'Lacan and the Libidinal Economies of Organisations' on Fri 12th June.
In the run-up to May's NLS Congress on Moments of Crisis the school's international affiliates have been conducting a number of preparatory events. In March, the major event was the Knottings seminar in Paris featuring a panel of Lacanian analysts, chaired by Lilia Mahjoub. Audio of the contributions (in French) are available via Radio Lacan, but Linda Clarke of the Irish Circle has recorded a summary for English speakers, which can be found further down this page. The School also continues to publish short contributions from Lacanian writers as part of its 'Slashes' vignettes. Read them in full through the NLS's Messager.
Finally, Professor Dany Nobus, author of many fine books on psychoanalysis, and in particular Lacan's work, has been appointed Chair of the Freud Museum London. He will be taking over from Professor Lisa Appignanesi on 6th May, the 159th anniversary of Freud's birth.

BSP alum Ian Dowdy authors report on proposed new I-11 route
Ian Dowdy, who earned his BSP from ASU in 2004, is now a Program Director with the Sonoran Institute, a prominent economic and environmental research and advocacy group. Dowdy authored a newly-released report that evaluates the impacts of a proposed new interstate that would connect Phoenix to Las Vegas.
"The I-11 corridor, in its broadest sense — including the successful integration of multiple modes including utilities, rail, and highway infrastructure — presents an incredible chance to capture new economic opportunities and define a new approach to infrastructure development," says the report.

New Guyana discovery shows success apart from Exxon Mobil

Exxon Mobil has led more than a dozen major oil discoveries offshore of the small South American nation of Guyana in recent years, but now other players are getting in on the act.
The United Kingdom-based Tullow Oil announced a potentially large discovery offshore of Guyana on Monday at the Jethro-1 oil prospect, demonstrating that Guyana's newfound oil sector likely has a future beyond the Exxon development.
"After dominating the list of major offshore discoveries in 2018, Guyana has extended its winning streak. With multiple prospects identified, Tullow and its partners could easily be sitting on a multi-billion barrel block," said Palzor Shenga, an exploration energy analyst with the research firm Rystad Energy.
Guyana sits next to oil-rich nations Venezuela and Brazil. As Venezuela has descended into economic and political turmoil, Exxon and others have turned to Guyana for new exploration.
Exxon Mobil and its New York partner Hess Corp. already have made 13 major oil discoveries off the coast of Guyana in the last four years, pumping billions of dollars into new projects with initial oil production coming online in early 2020. Outside of West Texas' Permian Basin, Exxon is investing more in Guyana than anywhere else in the world.

Exxon and Hess have announced at least 6 billion barrels of recoverable resources offshore of Guyana with first production coming online either late this year or in early 2020.
A rural, rain-forested nation with a population of more than 700,000 — versus 7 million just in metro Houston — the political and business leaders have suddenly had to learn about the oil industry after never having had much petroleum business at all.
Tallow's Jethro-1 exploration well, which targeted prospective oil resources of 250 million barrels, is the first discovery in the new exploration block.
"This discovery holds not only a significant impact for the prospects identified within the block but also for future Guyanese exploration, and cements the extension of a petroleum system beyond the game-changing (Exxon Mobil) Stabroek block," Shenga added.
Another Tullow well in the area – Joe-1 – is planned for later this month. Tullow has historically focused on exploration and production offshore of Africa and has extended its plans to Guyana.
Other companies like Spain's Repsol and Canada's CGX Energy have exploration wells in the works.
As for the Tullow development, Tullow owns 60 percent of the project with the French energy major Total holding a 25 percent stake and the Guyana government owning the remaining 15 percent share.

Bacterial Diversity at Different Sites of the Digestive Tract of Weaned Piglets Fed Liquid Diets

https://doi.org/10.5713/ajas.2011.10291
Bacterial diversity was studied using PCR-DGGE, cloning and sequencing. DNA was isolated from digesta samples from stomach, ileum and colon of 28 weaned piglets (Large White${\times}$Mong Cai) fed dry control feed, naturally fermented liquid feed (FE) and a liquid diet with inclusion of rice distiller's residue feed. General bacterial diversity was described using DGGE analysis of the V3 region of 16S rDNA. The microbial populations in the stomach and the ileum were considerably influenced by the diet, while only marginal effects were observed in the colon. There was a large variation of the microbial flora in the stomach between individuals fed non-fermented diets. In contrast, animals fed diet FE had a more uniform microbial flora in the stomach and the ileum compared to the other diets. In total 47 bands from the DGGE profiles were cloned. In stomach, most frequently lactic acid bacteria were found. Feeding diet FE resulted in the occurrence of Pediococcus species in stomach and ileum. In pigs fed the other diets, Lactobacillus gallinarum, Lactobacillus johnsonii and Lactobacillus fermentum were found in stomach and ileum. Most of the sequences of bands isolated from colon samples and several from ileum matched to unknown bacteria, which often grouped within Prevotellaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Bacteroidaceae and Erysipelotrichaceae. This study demonstrates that fermented liquid feed affects bacterial diversity and the specific microflora in stomach and ileum, which provides a potential to modulate the gut microflora with dietary means to increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria and improve piglets' health.

The team at Playground Games just showed off what's coming to Forza Horizon 4 this month. And in terms of the Car Pass, there's plenty of new metal for players to enjoy.
Up first is perhaps the most obvious car, the 992-generation Porsche 911. The Forza crew teased the car already with it featuring in Forza Monthly promotional images. It isn't the only model from the Stuttgart manufacturer arriving over the coming weeks either. The underrated 968, a four-cylinder, front-engined model from the early '90s, shows up in rare Turbo S form.
Five of these are from previous Forza titles, and Playground confirmed three of them will be prizes in Forzathon or Seasonal Championships: the pair of Hot Wheels rides, and the Levante. The team didn't confirm whether the 280 SL or the NSXR-GT is the eighth and final Car Pass car. We're betting on the Honda, as it was last seen in the Xbox 360 era.
Other new cars include a bunch of classics, from the UK, US, and Germany. With FH4 set in Britain, the Ford Transit and rear-engined Hillman Imp should feel right at home. The Porsche-designed Mercedes SSK should make for one heck of a cruiser, and its German companion is the very different Opel Kadett.
Expect the full breakdown of when the cars are coming tomorrow, when the Season 5 update lands in Forza Horizon 4.

October Class and Components Milk Prices were announced on November 1st. The increases met all expectations with significant increases in all parameters, especially the most important one, protein. Milk protein increased $.48/lb as cheese prices increased 10% and butter prices increased a smaller 5%. See the August 8, 2010 post to this blog for an explanation of this formula driven relationship.
Chart 2 illustrates the magnitude of the protein increase. Milk protein reached exceptional highs in 2008, driven by unusually huge exports. Exchange rates are again impacting exports and keeping demand high. Currently there is a big difference because, in addition to favorable exchange rates, export programs that will have a long term impact are also driving higher exports.
Milk protein made up 53% of the milk check in October (Chart 3). Clearly, a producer trying to maximize revenue must do everything he can to maximize protein volume from his cows. An increase of .1 lbs of milk protein per cow per day will increase revenue by $.37 per cow per day. For a producer with 1000 lactating cows, this represents additional revenue of $135,000 per year.
Although milk protein and cheese are the big news, in the sections below, "Other Solids" will be analyzed first. Other Solids prices are based on the dry whey price. While inventories are low, causing the higher prices for dry whey, the production of dry whey cannot react to this shortage because the availability of dry whey is totally dependent on cheese demand. Dry whey is the by-product or maybe the co-product of cheese manufacturing, but no one makes cheese just to get the whey. The demand for cheese drives the availability of whey.
is a food grade product with relatively high protein (the non-casein proteins that do not remain in cheese pass on to the whey). There is a high lactose content that gives whey a very sweet taste. Typically it is low priced. All these factors make whey an attractive product for use in human foods and animal feed.
Whey exports (Chart 5) remain at record levels. These exports have more than doubled over the last 10 years.
Typically, Other Solids have not been much of a factor in the Class III Milk Price, but this may be a long term positive change. In October, Other Solids made up 12% of the milk check or $2.47 per cwt of milk.
Cheese prices are the real story for the month of October. Inventories of cheese are lower than they have been since 2009 in spite of significant increases in production and demand.
The low inventories are keeping cheese prices near record levels. Chart 8 shows the NASS prices ending with the October average price. CME prices are typically about two weeks ahead of the NASS prices and as of early November, the CME prices maintaining prices above $2/lb.
The production of cheese continues its long term trend of increases. Cheese is continuing to increase its dominance of the U.S. dairy industry.
Butter inventories remain tight, but not as tight as in 2010 and 2011.
Butter production continues it growth which started in 2006.
This growth in demand is really fueled by exports (Chart 12) which remain robust, but do not show much current growth. Exports represent about 7% of butter production.
Butter markets are reaching an equilibrium, which will probably result in a softening of butter prices. Fortunately, the price of butter does not have a large impact on the Class III Milk Price. The math behind this is explained in the April 23, 2009 post to this blog.
The rest of 2012 looks very good. The increased price of cheese to over $2/lb appears to be holding and can be expected to maintain the Class III Milk Price above $20/cwt for the remainder of 2012. Although the futures market is not expecting the price to stay above $20/cwt in 2013, there is good reason to expect the above $20/cwt prices to continue into 2013.
On October 3, September Class and Component Milk Prices were announced. Class III prices were exactly $19/cwt up $1.27 from the prior month. During the last month, prices for cheese, butter, and dry whey have moved up rapidly, positively impacting all the dairy financial statistics concerning milk revenue.
The increases are positive for improved dairy cash flow, but high dairy milk prices can also have a long term negative impact on consumption. The first section below analyzes the impact of high milk prices on retail cheese prices which in turn negatively influence consumption.
The 8% increase in butter prices vs. the 5% increase in cheese prices held protein to only a 4% gain. This relationship can be reviewed in the August 8, 2010 post to this blog..
All three component prices are running above their historic levels. As Chart 2 shows, the value of other solids is becoming a factor. The other solids value is calculated based on dry whey prices and is therefore linked to cheese production and whey demand.
Payment for protein remains the dominant part of the milk check. This relationship has been consistent for a long time and reinforces the growing importance of cheese as well as the need for higher levels of milk protein. The producers' best strategy is to do everything possible to increase protein production.
Why is $20/cwt milk not good for the dairy industry?
In 2007, when milk prices reached $20/cwt, producers received a nice bump in their revenue line. As we know, this was quickly followed by a severe drop in milk prices. Part of this was the sudden changes in exchange rates which negatively impacted the U.S. export competitiveness, but there was also a negative impact on domestic consumption which decreased demand for cheese.
As can be seen in Chart 4, the high milk prices forced cheese makers to increase their prices which of course led to an increase in the retail price of cheese. That increase resulted in a drop of 2% in per capita consumption which has never recovered.
Following the 2008 drop in consumption, the long term trend of increasing cheese consumption continued but at a slower rate as illustrated in Chart 5. There have been additional price increases in 2010 and 2011. The drop in consumption and the slower growth rate now account for a 5% decrease in domestic consumption as compared to where consumption would be if the growth trend prior to 2007 had continued.
The conclusion is obvious. High prices for milk will dampen demand in the long term and therefore hurt long term demand for dairy products. This leads to increased volatility in milk prices.
Because the price of Class III milk is linked closely to the price of cheese (see blog post for April 23, 2009), everything that influences the price of cheese directly influences the price of milk.
The remainder of this post covers movements in the parameters that determine the price of milk (August 8, 2010 post). The most impactful is cheese, followed by butter, and dry whey. They will be reviewed in that order.
The NASS cheese price for September was $1.86/lb, an increase of $.10 from the prior month. That is certainly not a high, but the early October prices on the CME are approaching record highs, with cheese blocks reaching $2.09/lb. The NASS prices typically follow the CME prices with about a two week lag. This relationship was covered in the October 2, 2011 post to this blog in the cheese section. Based on current CME prices, it is likely that October will see another significant increase in cheese prices.
Inventories of cheese fell at the end of September. Charts 7 & 8 show this inventory drop graphically. The tighter inventories will also be contributing to increased prices in October.
Unfortunately export data for August and September is not yet available. The export data through July shows record levels of exports. With a weakening of the USD in August and September, exports should be even higher than in the last reporting month of July.
The near term future for cheese prices is very positive. However, higher retail cheese prices are a concern because they will cause a future drop in demand.
Butter prices for September were $1.83/lb, an increase of $.13 over the prior month. October prices on the CME are currently $1.91/.lb, so barring underlying changes, the butter price for October will probably show another increase.
Butter inventories are continuing to tighten as shown in Chart 11.
And butter production keeps increasing but can't seem to keep up with demand.
Exports are the drivers of increasing demand. The very high levels of exports in 2008, caused inventories to be low and prices shot up as a result. Inventories are again increasingly tight and spikes in exports may again deplete stocks.
The price for other solids increased more than any other milk component. The 15% increase was driven by the price for dry whey which was up 9%. Whey exports remain high as shown in Chart 13.
Whey inventories have been declining for 5 years putting upward pressure on the price of dry whey.
As a result, the value of other solids has increased to a respectable $.40/lb.
Exchange rates are favorable for exports, inventories of cheese, butter, and dry whey are low and the CME prices for all dairy products are increasing. It certainly looks like milk component prices will show additional increases in October.
The current high feed prices will probably keep producer margins positive but not excessive. When prices reached $20/cwt previously, there was a significant increase in the number of cows which contributed to oversupply and very low prices the next year. While high feed prices are not positive for the producer, they should have the impact of keeping cow numbers within reason.


ROCHESTER — Growing up in a Midwestern family business showed Angela Mills how valuable and fulfilling it can be to give back to a community and be invested in its future.
It's a mindset that drives Mills to this day, and one she brings with her to Rochester Main Street as its new executive director. As a Dover resident for several years, Mills has had an eye on Rochester's efforts to revitalize itself, and she says she's eager to help further them now that she's taken the helm of the Lilac City's Main Street program.
Mills began as executive director Sept. 5, taking over for retired director Mike Provost. Mills has experience running a Main Street program near her hometown in Nebraska, and the mother of four was most recently employed as a senior business systems analyst at Liberty Mutual in Dover.
Emily Pelletier, president of Rochester Main Street's board, said Mills was chosen from a pool of 40 applicants because she "had a great mix of everything Main Street represents" and because of her "very civic-minded" roots.
Mills hopes to continue some of the gains realized under Provost's eight years of leadership. During those eight years, Rochester Main Street helped spur $11 million in private investment in downtown, overhauled Central Square and other green spaces, contributed to a significant rise in downtown retail occupancy, and aided efforts to rehabilitate the city's image.
Mills believes Rochester is starting to reap the benefits of an improved image and reinvigorated city thanks in part to those efforts and a number of initiatives spearheaded by individuals and businesses in the community. That's not to say there aren't still challenges, although Mills feels the city is starting to gain respect and recognition for the many things it's doing right.
As Main Street's new executive director, Mills said her key focuses include engaging the community and furthering the network of programs, groups and events that support the goals of Rochester's revitalization.
Rochester Main Street's next public event is the annual family-friendly October Festival on Saturday, Oct. 7. The event will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and it will feature live entertainment, food, vendors and more on a closed-down Hanson Street.
Main Street expects the festival, also known as Octoberfest, to draw around 5,000 people, which is roughly the same as last year.


A short introduction on who i am and what the end goal is, well i'm Aidas (ELITE MASTERSZ) i like fast cars and unique car, hence the first car was a stunning 68' Opel GT, I used to live in France, in Nice but i got bored and looked for a new challenge Australia came calling. i have a few friends living there but they're boring people bankers and lawyers no interests in cars so who cares about them i don't, at least they told me to come over enjoy the sun the sand and the speed of this beautiful country. So six months later here i am touchdown, Surfers Paradise. The dream here is to build a unique garage of less popular cars or overlooked ones, but don't you worry i will have a 98' Supra under name soon, but until then, classic Euros, beefy Mericas and sliding JDMs. Feel free to ask anything you wanna know.


Can you think of a student at Kellogg who has made an outstanding contribution to college life this year? This could be for cultural, academic, sporting, social, welfare or other services.
Do you think they deserve thanks and formal recognition for their achievements?
Then why not nominate them for an Excellence Award, saying why you think their efforts have made a difference to students at Kellogg?
All current students are eligible for the MCR Excellence Awards (other than members of the awarding panel) and nominations will be open until the end of sixth week (Sunday 4th June 2017). All you need to do is send an email the MCR Development Officer sally.taylor@kellogg.ox.ac.uk naming the person you are nominating and saying why. Nominations will be anonymised, evaluated and scored by an MCR panel – with two or three award winners announced by the end of seventh week (11th June).
and finally, they will be guests of honour at a glittering guest night dinner on 20th June where they will be suitably fêted and presented with their individual plaques.
Here's a chance to give something back to the people who have done so much for us – so get nominating!
