Myrna M. Fahrbach
Sunday 3/3, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Appleton Highland Memorial Park
3131 N. Richmond St.
Sunday 3/3, 4:00 pm
Myrna Fahrbach, age 79 of Kaukauna, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at her home on Wednesday morning, February 20, 2019. Myrna was born in Hobart on October 5, 1939, daughter of the late Lloyd and Cordella (Weyenberg) Welch. In 1990, after her children were grown, she married Gene Fahrbach; he survives. Many will remember Myrna for her many years of work at F.J. Pechman Photography in Kaukauna.
Myrna was fortunate enough to have met her loving husband Geno to share many travel experiences to World Softball Tournaments around the country, winters in Arizona, and making family memories. Myrna had a passion for Christmas that showed up not only in the abundance of gifts, but also in the stockings and tree skirts that she made for every family member. She always considered her biggest accomplishment was to have raised her four kids on her own. And she did an amazing job of that. There are nine kids who were lucky enough to call her Grandma. She made each one feel so loved and special, treating them on their birthdays to a shopping trip and lunch. Her latest focus had turned to her two great-grandsons that she helped to take care of on Tuesdays. She was looking forward to meeting the three additional great-grandchildren who will be arriving soon.
Myrna is survived by her husband: Gene Fahrbach of Kaukauna; four children: LouAnn (Brian) Vandenberg of Kaukauna, Randy (Kay) Fischer of Appleton, Terry Jo (Randy) Vanevenhoven of Kaukauna, and Tom (Lisa) Fischer of Kaukauna. Her grandchildren are Jacob (Kelsey) Vandenberg, Lindsey (Daniel Maley) Vandenberg, Sarah (fiancé Jon Rostas) Fischer, Claire Fischer, Travis (Chelsea) Schumann, Alyssa (Andy) Miller, Chelsey (Caleb) Lyons, Dillon Fischer, and Mikaila Fischer. There are two great-grandchildren: Lincoln Miller and Quinn Schumann. Myrna also leaves behind a sister: Pat (Don) Schuh of Neenah; three brothers: Ron Welch of Kaukauna, Cal (Pat) Welch of Little Chute, and Lloyd "Bill" (Mary Ann) Welch of Darboy; a sister-in-law: Kris (Georgine Kautza) Fahrbach of Kaukauna; a brother-in-law: Dick (Carol) Fahrbach of Bensonville, Illinois. There are also many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends. Myrna was preceded in death by her parents, a sister-in-law Carol Welch, and a nephew David Welch.
The funeral service for Myrna will be held at 4:00 PM on Sunday, March 3, 2019 at the Fargo Funeral Home, located at 400 W. Wisconsin Avenue in Kaukauna, with Pastor Brian Episcopo of Appleton Alliance Church officiating. Private burial will take place at Highland Memorial Park. Family members and friends are invited to gather at the funeral home on Sunday afternoon (March 3) from 1:00 PM until the hour of the service.

David Probert, what will be important to professionals in the eye health and sight loss sectors in 2018?
One of the most important in my view will be how we use and appropriately skill the ophthalmic workforce to deal with the increasing demand on services. This includes developing and supporting new and innovative roles for nurses, optometrists and other allied health professionals.
I think the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also likely to continue to develop across the care pathways of ophthalmology. I think 2018 will be an important year to start to determine what role AI may have in helping deliver ophthalmic care. Over the coming months we hope to announce the results of our research collaboration with DeepMind Health. This research explored how cutting edge technologies can help medical research into eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and sight loss as a result of diabetes. We hope this work will eventually help eye health professionals to make faster and more accurate diagnoses, so that patients can be treated as early as possible.
Finally, I think 2018 will see healthcare professionals increasingly developing the use of technology such as telemedicine in new and innovative ways to help deal with demand and the need for specialist opinion.
This year, like most, I will focus on continuing to be more visible and listening more to our staff in the UK and the United Arab Emirates. It is the best way to assess the true risks and opportunities of an organisation and is also one of the most enjoyable parts of my job. I am also committed to ensuring we continue to improve the way we involve patients in decision making.
What are your work priorities for 2018?
My list seems to grow year on year, so I am determined to focus on my top priorities this year. These include driving forward our education and training strategy and continuing to create a rich environment to develop tomorrow's experts across all professional groups.
I am also keen we continue to recruit and retain the best staff, which I believe will become more challenging in 2018.
I remain very focused with our board and executive team on improving the experience our patients receive. This is partly around process design and the way we manage clinics, but it's also about our physical environment. To that end, one of my major priorities during 2018 is to continue to progress our plans to build a new eye care, education and research centre in central London.
This is a very exciting time for ophthalmology. The publication of the London Assembly's 'Eye Health' report in December 2017 was a crucial development in 2017. Along with other reports, it helped raise awareness of the scale of sight loss and the demand for ophthalmic care.
As we know, eye health is a growing issue in London, with an extra 194,000 Londoners predicted to have a sight-threatening eye condition and an extra 74,000 living with sight loss by 2030. I welcome the report, in particular its recommendation that the Mayor of London develop and implement a London eye health strategy, and look forward to working with the Mayor on the strategy.
How important do you feel Eye Clinic Liason Officers (ECLOs) are to patient care?
ECLOs are critical to patient care as they bridge the gap between clinical care and supporting patients outside of hospital. I can see their role continuing to grow into 2018 and beyond. I am incredibly proud of the work they do across our network and my inbox is regularly full of letters of praise for them from our patients and staff alike.
Moorfields runs regular courses in various specialist areas and provides extensive sub-specialty training in all types of modern ophthalmology.

Free online jigsaw puzzle for adults and kids of a cute calico kitten. The tiny kitten is perched on a fence.
Don't have a calico one. Mine are "tabby, black and white w/beige body. My tabby and black ones are very sociable. My white one only comes to me. Anyone else comes, she hides until they leave.
I have a Calico cat and Mai-Mai, (My-My) is the most friendliest loving cat I have known. She greets everybody that comes in the door adult or child. She even enjoys being carried around the house, and begs to be held all the time.
My sister has a calico cat and she would be the unfriendliest cat I have ever been around. She will let you stroke her, then lashes out, so of course no-one touches her.
I took care of someones cat - it was a Calico. Even encountered my own cat - not a Calicio with this type of behavior.
Yep I learned at a young age that I should have kept my mouth shut. Made a huge faux pas!
Carolsapple - Only one faux pas? Wish mine had been limited to one.
Oh I'm sure I made others but this one I did infront of family. My sister tried to cover it up but I didn't pick up on it. We were on vacation with our grandparents and my grandmother asked us how my mom like a certain place.
My friend had a cat like that, Aussie. After she allowed a person to pet her she would wait until they turned around and began walking away. She ran and grabbed my lower leg with both front feet, claws out. She had quite a war whoop, also. I believe feline mental illness must be the reason for such behavior. Good thing I had jeans on instead of shorts.
Lol retirenow, they can be really mean when they feel like it. Hugs.
I think Calico cats are very precious. My first TWO were that kind. Tiffany was tortoise-shell colored and lived to almost 16. Jazzy had basically white, but had "some" black 'n" orange coloring, and made it to her 17th birthday on 3-16-2010, but later went to Rainbow Bridge for pets on 7-21-2010 at 4 months past her birthday.
I adopted my current cat---Oreo---a black and white calico with some light orange---five years ago at a local pet shelter---when she was TEN years old. So this coming September 6, she will be 15 years old.
Yes, male calicos are said to be very rare and expensive should you find one.
I remember the first time I saw a calico kitten. I was pretty little and I thought they had patches on their fur.
I had a calico kitten many years ago when I was little. I found her on my uncle's farm in Southern Michigan and called her Hobo. She had 7 kittens and they were all so cute. We kept 2 of them and gave Hobo and the rest back to my uncle. Don't know what ever happened to them.

Plot: The Lady From The Sea is one of Ibsen's most lyrical, hopeful and rarely performed plays. Married to the respectable Dr Wangel (Jonathan Hackett), Ellida (Lia Williams) has a secure, comfortable but land-locked life. She is constantly drawn towards the sea. As memories of a past love threaten to overwhelm her will she suffocate on dry land, or find freedom across the ocean?
It's my second time around at the Arcola celebrating their Ibsen season. I saw the excellent An Enemy of the People last month and had high hopes that this production will be just as satisfying. I find that after watching an Ibsen, I come out always entertained and although emotionally tortured at times, I seem to have gotten used to this unsettling feeling. What I like about the Arcola is it's creative flexibility with the way they use their limited space to complement the production. In Enemy, there was this makeshift bath that run through just below stage level that made us feel as if we were transported to some coastal town in Southern Norway. This time around the main stage was right in the middle and structured in a way so that the actors can come out from 4 different angles, and still make us believe that it was in some small town by a fjord in Northern Norway.
Now onto the beef of the play. Ellida is a study of a woman on the verge of madness- emotionally disturbed but passionately portrayed here by Lia Williams. This is when it hit me that Ibsen has an abundant resource of men and women characters, and the more I watch them come alive on stage, the more I appreciate his analysis of these exciting characters, Ellida being one of them. In this Frank McGuiness version, the transformation didn't come from Ellida, but from her husband Dr. Wangel portrayed with sincere accuracy here by Jonathan Hackett. The supporting cast of Sean Campion, Chris Moran, Jim Bywater, Alison McKenna and Fiona O'Shaughnessy whom I saw previously in the Enemy made for another strong performance of this beautiful, lyrical Ibsen classic.


An initiative to increase clinical trial transparency in the UK is being challenged in court after a successful petition by a company that conducts clinical trials for the pharmaceutical companies, The Guardian reports.
The Health Research Authority (HRA) is a recently launched branch of the UK's National Health Service (NHS), tasked with overseeing clinical research and making recommendations on how research is regulated.
While HRA's main mandate is to "protect and promote the interests of patients and the public," the agency also undertakes projects to improve the regulatory environment for clinical research in the UK. One example of this is a plan to simplify how clinical trials are authorized by creating a single application that will "remove the need for NHS permission to be issued by each participating organisation and replace the local R&D approval process." HRA says this new clinical trials approval process will make it easier for companies to launch new studies.
Health authorities are increasingly calling for new measures to improve clinical trial transparency, citing a lack of published results, especially for studies with negative outcomes.
In 2013, HRA published plans for improving clinical trial transparency in the UK. The plans outlined requirements for companies to register clinical trials, public results and ensure that outcomes of studies are publicly accessible. The plans also provided additional requirements for companies to verify compliance with UK clinical trial regulations through a declaration in the study authorization application.
As part of the plans, HRA would publish the outcome of its Research Ethics Committee opinions and other basic information about each study, including its title and point of contact. Companies are also required to provide results to study participants at the conclusion of a study.
HRA says it is also working on additional measures in accordance with the new EU clinical trials regulations which come into effect after May 2016.
Reactions in industry to new clinical trials transparency measures have been mixed. Some groups have fought against increased transparency, citing concerns over commercial confidentiality and increased red tape. Others have seen the writing on the wall and have been more accepting of calls for increased transparency.
Now, in the UK, Richmond Pharmacology, a company that conducts clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies, has successfully petitioned to have HRA's clinical trial transparency undergo judicial review.
Síle Lane, director of campaigns at Sense About Science, a group that has pushed for increased transparency in clinical research, told The Guardian, "It is shocking that a company is using court action to try to stop transparency … Hidden and unregistered trials are compromising patient care."
While the challenge has been allowed to proceed, HRA has cautioned that "the merits of the claim are not considered at the permission stage," and says not all of Richmond Pharmacology's grounds were granted.

PlayCore Announces New National Demonstration Site of Excellence in Virginia
National Demonstration Site Network
PlayCore, the leading company in play and recreation research, programming, and products, is proud to announce a recent Inclusion & PlayOn! National Demonstration Site of Excellence designation to a new playground at Harry L. Coomes Recreation Center in Abingdon, VA. Known to the community as Highland Play Station playground, the new structure, renamed Imagination Station, features an addition to the previous structure to create a play space for children of all abilities. To celebrate, a grand opening ceremony will be held on June 3rd, at 10 A.M., at 300 Stanley Street, Abingdon, VA 24210.
After a visit to an inclusive play space in 2014, Kevin Worley, the city's Director of Parks and Recreation, sought to bring his vision to life to transform the existing structure into an inclusive play space for all children of all abilities.
"We came back (and) we decided there's no reason why we couldn't do something like that here," said Worley.
Worley worked with Play & Park Structures and Bliss Products, to create a structure that features seven new slides, additional swings, and sensory stations to enhance the playground experience for all.
"After spending time with the children of our community, I accepted the challenge to make this dream a reality for many children in our region with special needs," said Worley.
The new site has also received overwhelming encouragement and support from individuals within the community, Kiwanis Club of Abingdon, the Town of Abingdon, & Lowe's Home Improvement, as well as corporate sponsors, Johnson Memorial Hospital, K-Va-T Food Stores, and Coca-Cola. Worley, has also engaged the community through selling bricks for the walkway, which are engraved with the names and companies of those who have supported the effort.
"This project is not for me or the center, but for the children of the region," said Worley.
PlayCore is proud to partner with leading experts, the Utah State University Center for Persons with Disabilities and Lekotek to develop the Me2 and 2 Play Together research and programs, to help communities provide meaningful, healthy play opportunities for everyone.
"The Me2 program is founded on the understanding that beyond disability, there are abilities, beyond accessibility, there is inclusion. By following the 7 Principles of Inclusive Playground Design, the Me2 Program helps play environments move beyond accessibility and be truly inclusive," said Dr. Keith Christensen, Faculty Fellow, Utah State Center for Persons with Disabilities.
Inclusion National Demonstration Sites promote inclusive designs and demonstrate excellence in addressing physical and social inclusion of people of all ages and abilities. The playground features activities that address the following areas of development: cognitive, communicative, sensory, physical, and social/emotional.
In addition, the playground has also received recognition for PlayOn! as it promotes physical activity and active play among youth. The PlayOn! Program is the result of a joint partnership between PlayCore and physical activity experts SHAPE America to provide a solution to enhance active play opportunities on the playground. The park features a variety of six key play elements including: balancing, brachiating, swinging, climbing, sliding, and spinning. By utilizing this program, which includes 125 standards-based fitness activities designed for the playground, sites can help children be more active, and learn to see fitness as fun.
As a National Demonstration Site, Imagination Station will receive certification, become part of a national registry and be promoted actively to other communities wishing to create recreation spaces that utilize best practices in design and/or programming.

FAIRBANKS – In contrast to the geology, geochemistry and geophysics that dominates discussions at most mining conventions, geopolitics grabbed the limelight at the 2012 Alaska Strategic and Critical Minerals Summit held in Fairbanks Nov. 30.
"Countries that control a given element have a way to leverage businesses to come to those countries. They have a way of demanding there are technology transfers," American Elements President Michael Silver informed the more than 200 delegates who gathered in Fairbanks.
Silver, whose company has been a seller of Chinese rare earth elements for more than two decades, said China's monopoly on this group of strategic elements is one such example.
"What China was doing, and something the world has to recognize, is they were creating a price differential where if you moved your business to China, the cost of rare earths were a third of what it would be if you had to export," he explained.
By levying steep export taxes, constraining overseas shipments and tagging additional upward pressures to the costs of rare earths leaving the country, China has created a two-tier pricing system in which it behooves manufacturers needing these technology metals to move their factories to the Middle Kingdom.
While China's monopoly on REE is a prime example of the potential risks of over-reliance on other countries to supply elements critical to national security, green technology and economic growth, several speakers at the summit warned that these are not the only minerals that the United States should be concerned about.
If you break down the rare earths into the 15 individual lanthanide elements, the U.S. Geological Survey list that Murkowski referenced would total 32 individual minerals in which the United States is 100-percent reliant on foreign sources – China is the primary or sole supplier of more than 20 of these minerals.
"We have seen that the world does not operate on pure economics, there is a geopolitical element to it, and you have to be careful that other countries don't gain the system in order to disadvantage us," McGroarty cautioned.
Silver, McGroarty and Murkowski agree that, with a favorable regulatory environment, Alaska's rich stores could ease the United States' reliance on foreign countries to supply its strategic and critical mineral needs.
"Our state has incredible potential in this area," Murkowski told the audience.
The concern that an over-reliance on foreign and undiversified sources of strategic and critical minerals could put the United States at a disadvantage is not new in Washington D.C.
The study, "Strategic and Critical Nonfuel Minerals: Problems and Policy Alternatives," allocated 64 "strategic and critical" minerals and metals in which the U.S. was a net importer.
"Peacetime disagreements with various mineral producer governments over political or economic interests could conceivably lead to a reduction in their shipments of raw materials to the United States," the CBO report continued.
Thirty years later, the United States is realizing the premonitions inked in this 1983 study.
The United States' decades-long reliance on foreign countries to supply the minerals critical to its national security, economic wellbeing and high-tech innovation does not reflect the nation's potential to produce these materials at home.
"The United States is very resource-rich and Alaska in particular is the one state that really contributes the most in terms of the range of resources that are available," McGroarty said at the Alaska Miners Association annual convention early in November.
In 2010, the USGS compiled a list of 35 strategic and critical minerals, all of which are considered essential in the United States and at risk for supply restrictions.
"This list of minerals is just a subset of Alaska's mineral potential," Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys Director Bob Swenson informed the delegates at the strategic and critical minerals summit.
In fact, Alaska has the potential to produce 48 of the 50 minerals (counting the individual rare earths separately) in which the nation is a net importer.
Indium, a by-product at the Red Dog Mine in Northwest Alaska, is the only strategic or critical mineral currently being produced in the Far North state. A number of the remaining minerals on the USGS watch-list are currently being sought as a primary or secondary mineral in exploration programs across Alaska.
With a concerted and focused effort, Murkowski believes the nation can break its dependency on other countries for many of these essential minerals.
Despite Alaska's potential to curb the United States' dependence on foreign countries to provide the minerals it needs, a long and cumbersome permitting process could prevent these materials entering the supply chain for more than a decade.
According to a 2012 study by the Beher Dolbear Group, the United States, at seven to 10 years, is tied for last place with Papua New Guinea when it comes to the length of time it takes to get a proposed mining project through the permitting process.
"The U.S. is tied with Papua New Guinea for dead last in the world in the time it takes to make a 'yes' or 'no' decision on permit applications. It has persisted as an unfortunate reality for nearly every project in the country and the consequences are really dire," Murkowski reminded the summit attendees.
Alaska's senior senator said the effect of the increasingly cumbersome permitting process is reflected in the drop in the United States' share of exploration spending over the past two decades.
"In 1993, the U.S. attracted 20 percent of all investment in minerals exploration, today, that has eroded to just eight percent. And, in a large part, this is the result of a well-earned reputation for taking far too long to permit new or expanded mines here in the United States," Alaska's senior senator added.
The ARPN president agreed the lengthy permitting process stifles investments from financiers who are seeking a timely return on investment.
"They are looking for entry and exit in industrial projects, and they are looking at a timeframe of three to five years. If you are taking seven to 10 years to permit a mine, you are completely outside the sphere of an industry they even want to evaluate," he explained.
Hiroyuki Katayama, an assistant general manager at Japan Oil, Gas and Metal Corp.'s Vancouver, B.C. office affirmed McGroarty's assertion.
With an annual budget of 1.6 trillion yen (US$18.7 billion), JOGMEC scours the globe in search of a stable supply of natural resources for Japanese industry.
Katayama told the summit delegates that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment, a study that could result in the federal regulatory agency banning the development of the enormous Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum project before developers have an opportunity to apply for permits, is an even bigger issue for JOGMEC and other organizations seeking to invest in Alaska's mineral potential.
"Everybody knows that EPA's pre-empt action towards the Pebble project is the largest concern, because this kind of action in pre-application incurs depression of mining investment," he said.
Despite the setbacks on the federal level, Katayama and several of the other speakers said Alaska has a lot of attractive qualities.
"Of course, Alaska has significant mineral potential," affirmed the JOGMEC manager.
In addition to copper, gold, zinc and molybdenum; Katayama said Alaska is highly prospective for several minerals critical to Japanese industry, including platinum group metals, rare earths, antimony and tungsten.
JOGMEC played a key role in the early exploration of the Pogo gold project in Interior Alaska and is currently providing financial support to Tokyo-based Itochu Corp. in that company's joint venture with Pure Nickel Inc. to explore the MAN platinum group metal project some 90 miles (145 kilometers) south of the gold mine owned and operated by Sumitomo Metal Mining.
Though Alaska is highly regarded for its mineral potential, Murkowski said the state should not rest on its laurels.
"We need to stay focused on finding the best deposits here in Alaska – the highest grade ore bodies – and bringing every other resource we have to bear on winning the competition for investment," the senator encouraged.
Under the leadership of Gov. Sean Parnell, the state government has been contributing to this effort. In addition to conceiving and organizing the Alaska Strategic and Critical Minerals Summit, the state has been active in evaluating Alaska's strategic and critical minerals potential.
"Alaska has the largest state-run survey program for critical minerals in the country and I am very pleased to see the Legislature is devoting funding to continuing this work," Murkowski touted.
During the fiscal year 2012 and 2013 budget cycles, the Legislature approved US$3.2 million to identify and evaluate strategic and critical minerals prospects in Alaska. In his fiscal year 2014 budget, Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell is asking the Legislature to approve an additional US$2.7 million to continue this initiative.
"That is already underway but Alaska is rich in rare earth elements, something our country needs for national security as well as for our consumer electronics," Parnell explained during a Dec. 14 rollout of his budget.
The governor has proposed a further US$18 million toward funding Roads to Resources, an initiative to connect some of Alaska's promising resource areas to the state's road system; US$15 million toward a new building for the state's geological materials center which is a repository of core and samples collected from across the state; and US$7.3 million toward streamlining permitting and statewide digital mapping.
The state's proactive role in the realm of strategic and critical minerals is being recognized by outside observers.
"This state has committed to taking a strategic view of critical metals and that is really quite different than any other single state," said McGroarty.
Murkowski's parting words reflected the reservations and opportunities presented at the 2012 Alaska Strategic and Critical Minerals Summit.
"Going forward, I am confident that we will navigate the challenges we face, just as we have in the past. Truthfully, we don't really have any other choice. The jobs you create are real, the minerals you produce are essential and the contributions you make to our state's future are vital," the senator concluded.
McGroarty left the attendees of the summit with a similar but more ominous message.
"The issues here are critical to national security, they are critical to our economy, they are critical to manufacturing, they are critical for the innovation in high technology to be executed in the United States; and, at the end of the day, they are matters of war and peace," the ARPN president cautioned.

Hip hops is a genre of music that includes a variety of different components. It is the style of music used for break dancing and it features a great deal of emceeing and DJing. There is a great deal of overlap with hip hop music and rap, which grew out from hip hop culture. For many, hip hop is more than just a genre of music it is a way of life. Most people agree hip hop originated in the Bronx region of New York City in the mid-1970s. The first DJ to begin developing hip hop music was Kool Herc. He would speak over instrumental pieces of music at parties, using rap to entertain people. The trend caught on with other deejays and hip hop gained a following.
Two other important figures in the development of hip hop include Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. Both of these men were DJs like Herc. They were also based in New York City and were influenced by the urban deterioration they saw everyday. In some cases, traditional music classes were eliminated from schools in these areas, so the exposure to music that kids had was mainly from the streets. Many of traditional music techniques were lost, but new ones were developed through the hip hop movement.
Hip hop and rap both utilize technology to create sound. Early artists also used the albums already owned by their families to recreate new songs.
The first rap recording was by the Sugarhill Gang and was called Rapper's Delight. It is important to note that this was by no means the first rap or hip hop song, but simply the first one recorded. What this accomplished was bringing the urban music style to the masses. The music that was originally found live in urban neighborhoods could now be played on the radio and reach suburban and rural areas. Thus began hip hops cross-cultural appeal.
Hip hop has always pushed society's buttons and is considered anti-establishment. Censorship has been a long-standing issue in the hip hop community. Hip hop albums frequently feature parental warning labels and many videos have words or images censored, at least during certain hours of airtime. In addition to basic obscenity, hip hop often focuses on controversial political and societal issues.
Today, the hip hop community is a bit of a melting pot. There are radio friendly artists that appeal to people from several generations, as well as the more hard-hitting artists that express themselves through swearing or images of violence. Some of the most popular figures in hip hop over the years include De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Kanye West, Sean Combs, Doug E. Fresh, Snoop Dogg, and Busta Rhymes.

I am an associate professor of English at UCLA (my faculty bio is here), where I teach many different types of courses focusing on the transatlantic nineteenth-century, including classes on poetry and poetic theory, the history of American poetry, the history of reading, literary coteries, literature and slavery, as well as survey courses on American literary history and literatures in English of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. With my colleague Saree Makdisi I am developing a team-taught course on Whitman and Blake, and in the fall I will teach a seminar on "How to Write a Nineteenth-Century Poem."
Much of my scholarship seeks to materialize a set of concepts that are more often rendered as abstractions in the study of poetics—most especially genre and reading. My first book, The Social Lives of Poems in Nineteenth-Century America, opens up a set of forgotten histories of the lived relations that people created with poems, and that poems created for people. In this book I seek to demonstrate how a motley set of genres, including popular ballads, antislavery songs, minstrel songs, and slave spirituals, fostered diverse forms of public culture and public action in the nineteenth century, while also generating different orders of powerfully felt relations—senses of national or racial belonging, connections between the living and the dead and the present and the past, as well as intimate relations between and among readers.
My second project, which is a sequel of sorts, is tentatively titled Poetry and the History of Reading, and it tracks a somewhat different kind of history. Here I am more specifically interested in the pedagogical or scholastic history of poetry in the United States from the 1830s to the 1930s. This work brings together the history of reading, the history of schooling, and childhood studies; I am interested in thinking about how poems (or certain kinds of poems) came to be linked to childhood; how poetry came to be a kind of pedagogy or training in literacy; and how poems came to be institutionalized in schools. For centuries, poems have been an interface between the reading and writing of literature, since one way that people have learned to read poetry is by writing it. This archive of amateur literature is what I am seeking to open up to view in this book.

National Album Day: Achtung Baby by U2
by Nils van der Linden | Oct 13, 2018 | National Album Day 2018
Yes, The Joshua Tree has the bigger hits, but U2's seventh studio album is a far more interesting prospect. Dark, tortured, experimental, it's the sound of a band who were trying to find their way, just a few years after Time magazine had called them "Rock's hottest ticket". Stung by the critical backlash that greeted the overly earnest and self-indulgent Rattle And Hum, they set about "chopping down the Joshua Tree" (as Bono would later put it) in Berlin's Hansa Studios, a year after the wall came down.
Their surroundings, creative tensions, and frustration at trying to reinvent their sound (all captured on the insightful documentary From The Sky Down), resulted in an album that remains the band's creative peak. Lead single The Fly hasn't aged well with its early '90s dance influences, but the likes of Mysterious Ways, Until The End Of The World, and (obviously) One remain staples of their live shows more than 25 years later.
No less impressive are the rest of the songs – especially Ultraviolet and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, which have been resurrected on the band's most recent tours. Not convinced? Just listen to Jack White's blistering rendition of Love Is Blindness, the last track on the album.

MIMU is a Japanese vocalist and performer. She is a member of the duo ITI and is a former member of the groups Happiness and E-girls.
Hioki Mimu was born on December 30, 1995 in Hyogo, Japan.
Prior to joining LDH, she attended EXPG classes in Osaka.
On October 26, it was decided that she would become a member of the unit Happiness among other EXPG students, and her official stage name became MIMU.
On February 9, she made major debut with Happiness with their single "Kiss Me".
On April 24, she was announced as member of E-girls, having a concurrent position between the group and Happiness.
On January 27, she announced hiatus from both Happiness and E-girls to focus on her studies.
On October 25, she announced graduation from the groups to priorize her studies.
In 2015, she returned to the show business by joining the duo ITI as a vocalist.
She was supposed to participate in Happiness' fourth single "We Can Fly" (as she appears on the first single's promotional photo) but she announced hiatus before the single's announcement.

There are no 'standard' tender documents (award criteria, statement of requirements etc.) available for the product or service.
There is no existing knowledge about the market present within the UT; it still needs to be developed.
The contract has a direct relationship with an important part of the primary process of the UT.
The contract is politically sensitive and/or has administrative focus.
There is significant time pressure.
It concerns an innovative contract form or tender procedure.
There are multiple internal budget holders with divided interests involved in the tender, who must be heard during the project.

Q: Custom painting JPanel offsets the drawing I'm using Netbeans (JDK 1.7) on Windows 8.1 to run an application that:

*

*Uses the Graphics object to draw a frog in the paintComponent() of a 400x400 JPanel;

*Adds the panel to a JFrame for displaying purposes;

This should be a very simple task, of course, but I'm having trouble understanding a specific behavior in this application.
Here is the problem: the very first time the window is displayed, the panel shows up at an offset (image below) when it shouldn't. I'm trying to understand why this is happening and how to solve it:

After one of the arrow keys are pressed on the keyboard the drawing gets displaced 5 pixels to the left/right/up/down. However, when this happens, the entire JPanel seems to be moved to the (0,0) coordinate of the window (which is what I expected from the beginning), thus moving the drawing a lot more than it should:

I painted a black border on the edges of the panel to make the problem more apparent.
Here is the Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example:

                 if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT)
                     frog_panel.setX(frog_panel.getX()-5);

                 if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT)
                     frog_panel.setX(frog_panel.getX()+5);

                 if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP)
                     frog_panel.setY(frog_panel.getY()-5);

                 if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN)
                     frog_panel.setY(frog_panel.getY()+5);
            }

            public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) { }
            public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) { }
        }
        );

        add(frog_panel);
        pack();
        setVisible(true);
        System.out.println("Window::Window: size is " + getWidth() + "x" + getHeight());
    }
}

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

A: You overrode public int getX() from javax.swing.JComponent.
It returns the current x coordinate of the component's origin. This method is preferable to writing component.getBounds().x, or component.getLocation().x because it doesn't cause any heap allocations.
Rename your methods public int getX() and public int getY().
This should fix the problem.

The boundaries of what is and isn't prog are always changing. They are also very subjective. I suppose both of those things are good. Well, this act is being billed as prog. While I'm going to go with that categorization, I'm not convinced it's right. Still, these guys do have elements of things like the Dixie Dregs and King Crimson in the mix. Add in some old Rush, stoner metal and a lot of Joe Satriani, and you'll have an idea what this album sounds like. It's instrumental and just a bit monolithic. It has some great moments for certain, though. Besides, who could argue with that album cover?
I love the screaming hot guitar sound that leads this set out. The cut is one part stoner rock, one part fast paced fusion and a lot of hard edged prog. The shifts and changes make me think of old Rush a bit. There is a drop back to a mellower, exploratory section that feels like fusion turned space.
Hard rocking stuff, this is perhaps not all that proggy, but it's very cool. It's almost like mixing Black Sabbath with the Allman Brothers to me.
The riff that brings this into being is just plain mean. These guys fire out from there into a cut that's part stoner metal and part prog rock. It's screaming hot stuff.
There is definitely a lot of old school Rush here. That's combined with something like Joe Satriani.
Take some Van Halen and merge it with Joe Satriani and a bit of old school Rush. You'll be pretty close to this.
There is no huge change here, but this is perhaps more purely proggy than some of the rest. It has some killer turns and driving riffs.
There is a definite boogie element here, bringing some Southern rock to the table. This makes me think of the Dregs in a lot of ways.
Here we get a cut that's a bit heavier at the start. It drops to some of the mellowest stuff of the album for a time, but powers back out. This is part metal and part fusion along with some stoner rock.
This reminds me a lot of Joe Satriani. It's killer rocking stuff. The dropped back movement lands closer to fusion.
The mix of stoner metal and prog here is so strong. This is possibly one of my favorite cuts here. It definitely has hints of things like Giant Squid. There are some bits that make me think of King Crimson, too.
More along the lines of Satriani, this is solid, but not a big change.


Google Analytics is a very powerful web analytics tool that can help you understand many facets of your business. This tutorial will go over the most useful reports for an e-commerce organization.
In order to use Google Analytics, you have to set up analytics tracking on your site. For the advanced e-commerce metrics you'll also have to set up e-commerce tracking.
property that sells Google-branded merchandise. If you want to follow along and have the data look the same, sign up for the demo account here and in the date range in the reports select 1/1/2018 - 2/28/2018.
The most fundamental E-Commerce metrics - revenue and conversion rate - can be found in the top section of the **Ecommerce Overview **report. Simply navigate to Conversions - Ecommerce - Overview.
Additionally, you can measure the success of individual products at the bottom of the Product Performance report, also under the Conversions - Ecommerce section.
While these to reports give you information about your key metrics, there are additional reports that will give you very valuable insights into your business.
The Channels report will show you how your customers get to your site - both the total traffic (users, sessions) as well as the traffic that converted on your site (revenue, conversions). Navigate to Acquisition - All Traffic - Channels. Use this information to get a better understanding of your marketing channels and make decisions on marketing budget allocations.
While the Channels report gives you insight into where your users come from, the Behavior Flow report lets you see how they navigate through your site. Find this report in the Behavior section. While this report is a bit hard to follow at first, Google provides a great guide to walk you through it here.
The Mobile Overview report tells you what devices your users are on when they interact with your site. This can be helpful for understanding how to attract these users and to prioritize your Product and Engineering resources across the platforms. You can find this report in the Audience - Mobile section.
While the reports mentioned in the previous sections are ones that should be monitored on a regular basis and describe day-to-day operational performance, there are two key reports in Google Analytics that speak to the long-term health of your business.
The Lifetime Value and Cohort Analysis reports give insights into the long term value of the users you acquire. You can find both reports in the Audience section of Google Analytics.
The lifetime value report allows you to plot the value of your customers through their first 90 days and lets you cut the analysis by acquisition channel. This gives you a richer perspective of the value of your marketing channels. On the other hand, the cohort analysis allows you divide users into cohorts based on when they were acquired and follow their behavior for up to 90 days, so you can compare cohorts against each other.
Google Analytics provides many different reports to drill into different aspects of your business.

This solution will help you print 2 different parts, each in a different color, at the same time. This is a variation of DUAL HEAD PRINTING WITH 2 COLORS / MATERIALS as described on page 34 of the HD2x User Manual. In the process described in the user manual, it is understood that the final part will be one cohesive unit. The process described below is how to make two separate parts that are two different colors. You will need the software Cura for this process.
The key to printing two separate parts in dual head mode, is their relation to the origin. To do this properly, the parts to be printed will need to be modified in the CAD software. Without any modification, the parts will likely overlap each other when the "Dual Extrusion Merge" command is executed.
In the CAD software, PART 1 positioned 1/2" from the origin in the X and Y directions.
PART 2 was designed separately, but it too is positioned 0.5" from the origin in the X and Y directions.
When imported into Cura, the two files will be designated as printing with Extruder 1 (yellow).
To print with 2 colors, the "Dual Extrusion Merge" command is applied.
Right click a part and select [Dual extrusion merge] see page 34 in the HD2x User Manual.
However, since the parts are positioned in the exact same spot relative to the origin, they overlap.
This is not the desired result as this part will be printed merged as one piece.
In order to prevent this undesired merge, one of the two cad files will need to move relative to the origin.
PART 1 will remain the same but PART 2 will move 2.5" in the Y direction to accommodate the area PART 1 will occupy.
This shift will now set PART 2 1/2" away from PART 1 with the "Dual Extrusion Merge" command.
The new PART 2 is saved as an new STL and both parts are reloaded into Cura.
Again, both parts are registered as being printed with Extruder 1 (yellow).
Now, execute the "Dual Extrusion Merge" command ant the parts will no longer be overlapping.
This is because the origin for PART 2 is now 2.5" further from the part in the Y direction.
Now your two parts are ready to be printed in two separate colors.
These parts can also be multiplied with the "Multiply Object" command.
For more information on dual head printing please review sections 4c and 4d in the HD2x User Manual.


Is there something who could tell me what's the thing with the ''Momo Challenge''?
Is this really happening now or it is more like panic from the people on social media?
I was reading something about it and it that's creepy.
Viral urban-myth perpetuated by news outlets that had nothing else to report on.
No it's real, I've had 2 kids see it during their daily Youtube watching but it's been cracked down on hard. Mainly it was tossed into videos only on the Kids Youtube platform.
I believe all is good now, it is nothing about this anymore.
Most of the time I'm watching the videos with my son and I can't notice something like this thing.


Spring is upon us and that means spring cleaning.
Here are a view tips to keep your spring cleanup, a fire safe one.

'I bow to the divine in you'
In 2010 I was lucky (there's that word again) enough to spend nearly two weeks trekking through India. The North Western Himalaya in Chamba Valley to be precise. It was absolutely magical, and a truly life changing experience for several reasons.
L.U.C.K.Y
Firstly, I was there doing charity work, in the lead up to the trip, I had been raising money with a group called 'Trekking for Charity', we were raising money to build toilets for the villages in the regions we were going.
Basecamp: Trekked two days to get here. Perks: Bucket of hot water to bathe in.
What had been happening, is without any place to do their business, the villagers were going anywhere, and when it rained, what comes down, also runs down. Thousands of these very poor villagers were becoming very ill, and occasionally dying from drinking contaminated fresh water as a result of poor hygiene practices. So that's what brought me to India.
It really opened my eyes as a young 20-something, that I was exceptionally lucky (real luck this time) to live in such a beautiful country as Australia, and I really took a lot of the basics for granted.
Strong and sturdy bridge over a gently flowing stream
There were several times during that trip, where I really went deep. One of these times was atop a mountain nearing dusk…..
Our trekking guide, we'll call him Prakash; a village elder, and one of the wisest people I've ever met was incredible. I don't know how old he was but definitely 'older', he just kept trekking, with his trekking stick, day after day, he was amazing.
I now know where the term 'stubborn as a mule' comes from
After maybe day 7-8 of the trek, we were setting up camp at the top of a rise (it was the Himalaya, there were rises everywhere you looked), and it was an hour or two before sunset. I asked Prakash, if he knew much about meditation.
To be clear…
I asked an Indian village elder, if he knew MUCH about Meditation, did I mention I was in my early 20s? #facepalm
Anyway, he said yes, and would I like to learn. Yep, I thought, for sure, we'll be able to knock out half an hour of meditation, and then I'll set up my tent, go find a creek for a quick wash and be ready for dinner… Prakash wasn't of the 'quick and dirty' type when it came to life lessons.
Didn't wash this night
For hours we were atop of that rise, what felt like on top of the world. He took me through the beginnings of meditation, life, evolution, I got into chanting 'OM' for a very long time but felt like only a few minutes really.
small village, one night we camped on top of those little huts
This meditation experience, somewhere in the middle of the Himalaya was eye opening, or rather mind opening. I'd never really stopped, like really stopped to let my mind just be (I try to do it quite frequently now, but more on that later).
me, not meditating
Me... also not meditating
The place my unfocused, uncluttered mind when during my first real meditation experience was incredible. I'm a deep, DEEP thinker, and consequently have a lot of internal dialogue, mostly good exploratory stuff, and sometimes self-derogatory if I'm honest. But that day, on top of that mountain, I was enlightened. I felt and truly believed that I was destined to do great things.
From that meditation experience, I've always believed in Mind over matter, sometimes I've really had to dig deep, and check myself, but the mind can conquer some of the most amazing things if you can just shut out all the chatter.
I'd love to know what you do to shut out the chatter.
