RENT -- coming to NBC?

RENT -- coming to NBC
Not sure if this falls under the category of "oh that's cool" or "oh my God"...
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that NBC is in discussions to bring RENT, the Tony Award-winning musical, to television sometime next year.
They want to air it as a special a la ABC's "The Music Man" but at the moment they are hung up in legal wranglings. So we'll see...
I'd love for them to bring back the original Broadway cast (they've already got Jesse L. Martin), but they'll probably cast Rick Schroeder as Mark and Justin Timberlake as Roger...

Im with you, wanting a DVD of the original cast on stage. If they can put Cats out in two (2) versions why not RENT.
And if its on TV, please for the love of everything holy please have Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs together in it. Hell that should be easy since they are married now. Oh and while Im at it, do not put Neil Patrick Harris, or the guy from BSB or Nsync, (dont recall which band) in it.

Neil Patrick wasn't too bad on the Frogs cd...
I think that Rent with the original cast ought to be released on dvd. However, a tv version would be pretty good.

I love this show and have seen it many, many times on stage. I'm glad people are starting to rediscover an appreciation for musicals, but I would just rather see a sharp, professional recording of stage versions. Some shows are just fine the way they are.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Films owned the film rights to this property. Perhaps that is part of the "legal wranglings". Personally, I'd like to see Rob Marshall take a stab and making this a movie a la Chicago. Taye Diggs could be working with him again as Benny?

This could be very good news indeed
better than Timberlake, Fatone did a very good job as Mark on broadway, I wouldn't mind seeing him play the part on TV

There's no way they could do justice to this material on network tv. After sanitizing it to make it "safe" for the masses, you'd be left with nothing more than a 2-hour rendition of "Seasons of Love."
And, btw, Neil Patrick Harris was damn good in one of the productions I saw.

One: this material will get butchered as a lot of it deals with stuff not really fit for network.
Two: they will totally ignore the talented members of the cast and put in pop stars, and second rate, one more bomb album away from being has been ones at that. We'll probably get Sisqo, a Backstreet Boy, and Jessica Simpson, who will spend most of her time running around in a skin tight outfit showing off her cleavage and behind.

i'm not sure if i'd enjoy this but if they ever make a DVD with the original cast i'd be all over that. i've seen Rent 3 times and it is by far my favorite musical.
p.s. i've seen doogie howser as Mark for one of my shows and he was surprisingly good!

A video of the broadway performance would be nice.
What needs to be done is a THEATRICALLY RELEASED MOVIE, not a made for TV movie. With the success of Chicago they should do this. I heard rumors Spike Lee was going to do it.
TV version is
Oh and doogie was great when I saw him in LA

Dude... that was the best episode! And then they had Dabney Coleman as the jive-talkin' pimp daddy. It was righteous!
saw the musical awhile back - so I can't recall if this would be an issue or not, but wouldn't the television version of this musical get 'sanitize' for the masses.

To those who have seen 'em, who did Doogie and Fatone play in the cast?
Find More Posts by Kal-El
Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) played Mark.
Joey Fatone played Roger.
From what I've heard, Doogie wasn't half-bad.
Like Harris, Fatone actually played Mark. I didn't get to see him, but a friend of mine did and he didn't have too many positive things to say. NPH is great in the concert version of Sweeney Todd, though. The guy's got presence and a huge range.
But give us Anthony Rapp!!! He's had plenty of screen credits (he had a pretty decent part in A Beautiful Mind), and for gosh sakes...he's awesome. And Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs would be great, especially with all of the press they're getting for Wicked.
What I'd really like, though, is a taped version of the Broadway show. I'm not a huge Rent-head, but a two-hour TV movie can't do -any- musical justice. I just can't imagine the way they'd film it...well, in any case, I just hope they cast it right.

Home World South Asia Women Radio Jockeys Tackle Women-Related Issues on Air
Women Radio Jockeys Tackle Women-Related Issues on Air
Women's Feature Service
Tue January 4, 2011
The moment Rachna, 19, steps behind the microphone she is a changed person. A radio jockey, she loves to communicate with her listeners on the community radio station in Lalitpur, a district in the impoverished, drought-affected Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh (UP), India's largest state.
Now a role model for girls in her village, she remembers a time when she was not even allowed to leave the house without a male escort. Today, of course, Rachna's voice is heard in every home in the remote corners of Lalitpur.
Says the radio jockey sitting comfortably at the radio station located in Alapur, a small hamlet in Birdha block of Lalitpur, "I can't believe I am now a RJ broadcasting and anchoring radio programmes. What makes it even more meaningful is that I get to talk about actual issues like mother and child mortality that affect my community."
So committed is Yadav that after completing her daily chores, she is motivated enough to walk three kilometres to reach the Lalit Lokvani office in Alapur to anchor shows. She hold discussions on issues like breastfeeding and mother and child nutrition, which are two concerns that need immediate attention in Lalitpur.
Both Rachna and Yadav are part of a new communication revolution that has swept rural UP in the form of the much-needed Lalit Lokvani, the first community radio station in the state. In September, with the click of a button on the console, Ranvir Prasad, District Magistrate of Lalitpur, and Jugal Kishore, Joint Director of Bharatendu Natak Akademi and well-known theatre personality, made history by launching the radio service to reach over 80 villages.
What makes this radio station unique is the fact that it has encouraged women from within the community to take to reporting and anchoring programmes on issues that concern them. These focused scripts that are usually written with women in mind – draw tremendous responses, especially because it uses the typical Bundelkhandi dialect.
The community radio station had begun in 2007 by narrow casting programmes to a few villages. The station received its wireless operating licence (WOL) in August 2010, which allowed it to officially broadcast on a frequency of 90.4 megahertz to villages within a span of 15 kilometres around Lalitpur.
An initiative of UNICEF Lucknow, Sai Jyoti, the NGO that runs the station, and Ideosync Media Combine, community radio is being pegged as an important means of community outreach in UP, a state where the people have been facing multiple problems for decades.
But can these young women radio jockeys make community radio the powerful tool of information dissemination it is made out to be? Explains Rachna Sharma, Behaviour Change Communication Specialist, UNICEF Lucknow, "In the three years that Lalit Lokvani had been narrow casting to the villages it demonstrated what a powerful tool community radio is. The women anchoring these shows focus not only individuals shaping lives of people but also facilitate a more horizontal spread of information."
But running a radio station is not cheap and Lalit Lokvani has to generate Rs 70,000 (US$1=Rs 44.3) every month to keep going. While UNICEF Lucknow plans to support the station until 2012, the team at Lalitpur has already started working out ways to generate money with on-air advertisements.
Vidya Galav, 20, another talented RJ on Lalitpur Lokvani, couldn't agree more. As she put it, "I believe community radio is the ultimate agent of social change that will liberate our mothers, daughters and sisters from their mental and physical shackles. Through the radio they can listen and learn that women can go beyond the role that society has laid down for them and transform themselves."

Home Entertainment Movie Reviews Carbon Nation Film Review
Carbon Nation Film Review
Fri February 11, 2011
Inspirational Eco-Documentary Advocates Grassroots Solutions for Global Warming
Today, there's a consensus among experts in the scientific community not only that global warming is occurring, but that man-made climate change might not be reversible. Meanwhile our inept politicians continue to pass around the hot potato in the face of readily-observable phenomena like receding glaciers and the melting of the polar ice caps.
Given the leadership vacuum, "It's the people nobody's heard from who are going to solve the problem," asserts Van Jones, the former Obama Administration Green Czar who resigned last year in the wake of a right-wing smear campaign. He is just one of a number of results-oriented innovators, including luminaries like Virgin Atlantic CEO Richard Branson and ex-CIA Director James Woolsey, sounding an urgent clarion call to action in Carbon Nation.
Directed by Peter Byck and narrated by Bill Kurtis, this eco-expose' is unique in that it does more than merely warn of the devastating consequences of a continued dependence on fossil fuels. Rather than waiting for Congress "to take its head out of it ass," the film exhorts each of us to take personal responsibility and to start doing what we can to help the cause on an individual basis.
For example, we meet Bernie Karl, an enterprising Alaskan who has discovered a way to use 165-degree water to generate geothermal power. Then there's Michael Dunham, aka "The Fridge Guy," who has designed a safe and sustainable means of disposing of CFC-11, a destructive greenhouse gas contained in many old refrigerators.
Still, it is Jones' novel vision that proves the most inspiring here, given his utilitarian ideas for creating grassroots green jobs for the masses. Van also tugs at the heartstrings when he waxes sentimental, choking back the tears while discussing the dire prospects for the planet he's likely to leave to his children in the absence of effective activism. "I know the ending… I know where we're headed," he laments.
A sobering documentary which makes a convincing case that climate change is a national security issue.
Excellent (4 stars)
Distributor: Clayway Media

Carbon Nation opens in theaters in New York City on February 11, and will open elsewhere around the country later in the month and in March before becoming available on DVD in April.

Accepted/In press - 1 May 2019
E-pub ahead of print (current) - 10 Jul 2019
Objective: We conducted a prospective cohort study of the CPRD to estimate rates of varenicline and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) prescribing and the relative effects on smoking cessation, and mental health.
Methods: We used multivariable logistic regression, propensity score matching and instrumental variable analyses. Exposure was varenicline or NRT prescription. Mental disorders were: bipolar; depression, neurotic disorder, schizophrenia, or prescriptions of antidepressants, antipsychotics, hypnotics/anxiolytics, mood stabilisers. Outcomes were: smoking cessation, and incidence of neurotic disorder, depression, prescription of antidepressants, or hypnotics/anxiolytics. Follow-ups were 3, 6, and 9-months, and at 1, 2 and 4-years. NRT and varenicline prescribing declined overtime.
Results: In all patients, NRT and varenicline prescribing declined overtime. 78,457 smokers with mental disorders aged ≥18 years were prescribed NRT (N=59,340) or varenicline (N=19,117) from September/01/2006 to December/31/2015. Compared to smokers without mental disorders, smokers with mental disorders had 31% (95%CI: 29% to 33%) lower odds of being prescribed varenicline relative to NRT, but had 19% (95%CI: 15% to 24%) greater odds of quitting at 2-years when prescribed varenicline relative to NRT. Overall, varenicline was associated with decreased or similar odds of worse mental health outcomes than NRT in patients both with and without mental disorders, although there were some differences within subgroups.
Conclusions: Smoking cessation medication prescribing may be declining in primary care. Varenicline was more effective than NRT for smoking cessation in patients with mental disorders and there is not clear consistent evidence that it is adversely associated with poorer mental health outcomes.
Implications: Patients with mental disorders were less likely to be prescribed varenicline than NRT. We triangulated results from three analytical techniques. We found that varenicline was more effective than NRT for smoking cessation in patients with mental disorders. Varenicline was generally associated with similar or decreased odds of poorer mental health outcomes than NRT. We report these findings cautiously as our data are observational and are at risk of confounding.

Braintrust Raises $18M to Bring DeFi-Thinking to the Gig Economy
The next generation of the gig economy could look more like decentralized finance (DeFi) than Uber.
Announced Thursday, Braintrust, a tech talent marketplace that will essentially be owned by the IT freelancers and companies using it, has raised an $18 million strategic growth round, bringing its total funding to date to $24 million.
Employing a system of blockchain-based tokens to align the incentives of users and keep fees low, Braintrust boasts a nice mix of seasoned Silicon Valley VCs and crypto heavyweights like Pantera, Multicoin and Galaxy Digital. Notable joiners on today's round are Omidyar Technology Ventures, the original online marketplace builders.
San Francisco-based Braintrust is another example of how the core tenets of DeFi's multibillion-dollar science experiment can be applied to real-world use cases. Unlike the often vague "utility" of ICO tokens that were sold in the billions back in 2017, Braintrust is focused on solving the liquidity problem encountered when establishing two-sided marketplaces.
Braintrust's solution reflects the pooled flexibility and decentralized governance of protocols like Compound Finance, on which some of its software is based.
Read more: This Startup Is Forking Compound to Make Hiring More Efficient
Stepping back, Braintrust CEO Adam Jackson is a veteran at building two-sided marketplaces, including an e-commerce platform acquired by Intuit, an automotive marketplace acquired by Advanced Autoparts and another called Doctor on Demand. The common denominator is how expensive it can be to build liquidity into these networks in order to make them fly, and the effect this can have further down the line.
"The typical playbook from eBay, all the way up to the gig economy players we see now is you raise hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars, and use that money to subsidize one or both sides of the marketplace," said Jackson. "You're essentially paying people to show up."
And the way this typically plays out is the investors, who are the owners of the marketplace, sooner or later start taxing the network, turning up the fees. This then starts to erode the network effects of the business, said Jackson, creating divergent incentives between the operators of the service and the people who make a living there.
The depressing nadir of this is encapsulated in the iniquities of Uber; the sort of stuff that has effectively lowered the minimum wage in the U.S., said Jackson.
"While five guys in San Francisco became deca-billionaires, a third of all Uber drivers live below the poverty line, some of them even live in the cars they drive," he said. "So I wanted to figure out how we could create a marketplace that is owned and controlled by its users, instead of investors who just want to tax it."
Non-profit protocol
Jackson describes Braintrust as a "labor protocol" in the same way that Ethereum is a smart -contract protocol. As such, it's more like a non-profit, a kind of public good, he said, upon which other businesses and use cases will flourish, rather like the composability, or the Lego-like functionality of building with DeFi.
"Our business model with Braintrust involves lowering the fees to almost zero. We charge talent zero; we charge clients 10%, that's just meant to kind of pay our bills and sustain us," Jackson said. "By lowering fees to zero, you enable a whole new class of big transactions that could never touch a place like Upwork, because the fees are too high."
Likewise, the project's tokenomics are confined to governance and voting decisions (there will be a free issuance of tokens to Braintrust users in the middle of next year). The tokens are simply a way to get millions of users across the world on the same page because you can't have someone in Ukraine or in India custody a share of a Delaware C-corp, said Jackson.
"A blockchain-secure token is a perfect value-capture incentive and governance instrument to replace a share of stock," Jackson said. "And when I say replace, I don't mean a financial token, there's no dividend."
Once the Braintrust community of freelancers is up and running, they will be able to use their tokens to vote on proposals such as fee levels, categories of work to be added, standards for allowing workers to join and so on.
Braintrust's token voting system is a fork of the governance framework created by DeFi money market Compound Finance, actually using some of the same code (Compound CEO Robert Leshner is a close ally and advisor to the project).
Jackson pointed out that he started Braintrust well before DeFi was a thing, but said the comparison is apt.
"What DeFi figured out was how to use a token as an incentive mechanism to bootstrap liquidity in a two-sided marketplace – DeFi's lend and borrow," he said. "We're doing the same thing, using a token to bootstrap liquidity in a two-sided marketplace. Ours is labor and clients."
An ill wind
Following a two-year incubation and armed with a $6 million seed round, Braintrust's private beta was just getting off the ground when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
"We thought we were toast," said Jackson.
But after "a terrible few months," clients started calling back, with more and more large firms accepting that working remotely was becoming the norm. "So that has become a big tailwind," Jackson said. "Our Q3 was two times our pre-COVID financial plan for marketplace transactions and that has brought us to this fundraising round we are announcing."
In terms of numbers, Jackson said Braintrust currently has several thousand testnet token holders and a waitlist of 40,000 for when the service goes public next year. There's also an impressive roster of 50 or so Fortune 100 clients.
"We just won a job at NASA, where we have a group of engineers building software that will track packages to and from the International Space Station," said Jackson. "We're building car software for Porsche, insurance shopping software for Blue Cross Blue Shield. So these are big jobs. It's not like a logo on a website."
The thing that's attracting big enterprise players like Porsche and Nestle are the low fees, Jackson reiterated, and not some kind of tech wizardry.
"It's not because we are building on a blockchain," he said. "These guys don't give a shit about that."

AWS re:Invent -- Bigger, faster, better?
There will, of course, be innumerable articles detailing what AWS is rolling out -- the AWS Snowball Edge, a hardware offering designed to be situated in remote locations (think corporate data centers or positions like on-site at wind farms or in freight ships). New compute instances that provide far more power, and far more prospects for highly specific use cases. There is Amazon Athena, an interactive serverless query service that can run standard SQL queries over AWS' S3 storage service.
Then there is the oft-rumored, and now confirmed Amazon artificial intelligence offerings -- powerful A.I. tools that can readily be used by developers offering image analysis (via AWS Rekognition), text to speech (via Amazon Polly) and speech recognition and natural language understanding (via Amazon Lex). All of these tools are obviously developed off the back of services that Amazon itself offers -- in particular Amazon Lex is a none-too-subtle reference to Amazon Alexa, the device from which it saw its genesis.
There is the introduction of Amazon Aurora with PostGreSQL compatibility into the Amazon Aurora database offering and AWS Greengrass, an offering that allows customers to embed the AWS Lambda serverless computing offering into connected devices which will allow local computer, storage, messaging and networking.
There is the AWS Personal Health Dashboard, a personalized service health dashboard that helps AWS customers get a better handle on the operations of their particular AWS stack. And AWS OpsWorks, AWS's orchestration offering which now comes bundled with managed Chef. Amazon X-Ray, a distributed application debugging service that allows users to debug ad trace end to end requests. AWS Glue, an offering to allow data warehouse users to perform their extract, transform and load (ETL) functions in the cloud.
There's virtual private servers priced at a paltry $5 per month, potentially a move that will seriously hamper the huge growth seen by Digital Ocean. There are the tools to bring it all together -- AWS Step Functions allows users to coordinate distributed applications using visual workflows and visually arrange components as a series of steps. AWS Shield which offers integrated DDoS for AWS services Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route 53 and Blox, a collection of open source projects for cluster and container management offering scheduling and orchestration functions.
But it is, perhaps, SnowMobile, the announcement that gathered the largest number of gasps at the analyst event, that best exemplifies why AWS is so far in front, and how it manages to continue to be so.
AWS Snowmobile is a massive, container based storage device that is designed to be a "snowball on steroids." Organizations can use Snowmobile to physically load massive quantities of data from their on-premises storage to AWS. Snowmobile is a container chock full of storage, huge networking capability and attached to a truck with its own security detail. Snowmobile drives up to a customer's premises, connects into the customer's storage and slurps up the data they want transferred.
It then drives away, with its security detail on board, and transports said data to an AWS facility. We were told that there are already around 50 Snowmobiles deployed globally across four different AWS regions, and that customers are using them today to transfer data to AWS.
When the analysts were first told about Snowmobile, most people thought it was a joke. When we found out it was legitimate, there was a general dropping of jaws. But upon further reflection, Snowmobile isn't such a hard thing for AWS to pull off. Amazon, AWS's parent company, is one of the biggest logistics operations in the world -- every day it arranges for the transportation of hundreds of thousands of packages. It owns the logistics infrastructure -- from warehouses to robotic picking and packing machines. From trucks to airplane and on top bricks and mortar distribution locations.
Alongside that logistics capability, AWS runs one of the largest cloud computing infrastructure footprints on earth -- it knows how to move, process and deal with data safely, securely and at the very highest performance levels. Put those two different functions together -- computing infrastructure and logistics control -- and you quickly arrive at solutions that look not unlike the Snowmobile.
And that is the amazing thing about AWS. While its two main public cloud competitors, Google and Microsoft, have their own massive infrastructure footprints, and have huge experience in technology, consumer hardware devices and developer ecosystems, AWS alone has the combination of experience at disrupting traditional bricks and mortar distribution models, experience at building out global scale computing infrastructure, and a huge appetite for controlling every step in every process it is involved with.
In a presentation by James Hamilton, AWS's eccentric and widely respected engineer, we all heard about how AWS has built its own firmware to sit on third-party power switches. What other vendor would design so deeply that it would customize something so mundane as a power switch that is only used in the unlikely event of a power outage.
And AWS's reason for doing so? Because there is a one in a million chance that when those power switches are activated, they may, seeing a risk of short circuit, not allow generator power to flow to the data center. AWS wasn't prepared to suffer an outage like that and is both prepared to risk a million dollar generator to ensure up time, and to obsess about the tiniest of details to ensure the very highest of reliability. This is an organization that, as Hamilton told us, deploys every day the amount of computing capacity that would have supported the entire Amazon operation back in 2005, when it was already an $8.5 billion revenue company.
At the start of the analyst event, Andy Jassy, AWS's CEO, and the guy who has been running the organization since its inception, gave the analysts a run down and update on AWS business. He waxed poetic about AWS's recently announced partnership with VMware, one which pragmatically allows organizations to move to the cloud but within the context of their current reality which is often a VMware virtualized one. He talked about the investments that AWS is making into its partner network, and the help they're giving those partners to build their own practices. He expressed the view that AWS needs to accept that it takes time to build that sort of organizational muscle memory, and that AWS realizes it needs to help these young partners to grow to maturity. And the fact that Jassy, a hugely busy guy at re:Invent, dedicated over an hour to talk with a group of analysts, is a good indication that AWS is truly taking the enterprise seriously.
Of course there are the odd criticisms: AWS hasn't got an awesome track record when it comes to open source, for example. And AWS needs to be careful around competing with its own ecosystem specifically, and the broader industry generally. A case in point is Blox, a service which clearly has Kubernetes and Docker in its sights -- AWS needs to be careful not to be seen as being too voracious.
But, at the end of the day, it all comes back to customers. It's true that AWS won't own 100% of the cloud computing market share -- other vendors certainly have a part to play, but the incredible positivity of AWS customers, even before they had heard any details about the announcements from the show, is an indication of just how well AWS is executing. Gartner already estimates that AWS is many orders of magnitude bigger than its nearest public cloud competitor, but it seems that their rate of innovation is also that far ahead.
Extrapolate that out over a few years and you have a vendor of incredible breadth and depth, and one which will likely continue to define modern IT for the foreseeable future.


Castlevania Legends for Game Boy is a really great Castlevania game, compared to the first Castlevania Adventures for the same platform the movement is smoother, it feels like the character is a bit faster, the whip responds better and most importantly of all: THE HEARTS DO NOT GIVE YOU HEALTH! Like we have learned in previous Castlevania games, the hearts you collect are used for your special ability. In Castlevania legends you receive special abilities after each stage, instead of collecting them through candles, and they're called soul weapons. You use them like normally in Castlevania games, by pressing up and attack. But there are also a few hidden weapons, like the holy water, throwing dagger etc, hidden in certain candles in a secret area of the maps of each stage (not really secret, mainly just a detour from the standard route).
Another different thing about Castlevania Legends is that you play as a girl, called Sonia.
Through the Super Game Boy for the Super NES they have improved some graphical aspects of the regular Game Boy games, such as giving Castlevania Legends this really neat interface with pillars and stone around the screen instead of the normal boring "Game-Boy-Look-a-Like" screen.
Also the stages have different colors, which makes it feel like you're really advancing through the game. Here's some of the stage colors, and in the bottom right corner is the standard sepia/brown that the Game Boy games had as a standard through the SNES.

If you're trying to improve your lead guitar playing by studying scales, that's only half the picture. The best lead guitarists in rock, jazz, country, bluegrass and R & B base much of their improvisation and soloing on chords - even when they're playing single note solos. Sokolow shows you several chord based approaches to soloing and backup, covering several genres: arpeggios, country licks and fast flatpicking solos in country/bluegrass tunes like "Jambalaya;" solo and backup R&B like "People Get Ready" and "Just My Imagination;" Steve Cropper-style licks on "Dock of the Bay" and "Under the Boardwalk," Django-style solos on swing tunes like "Avalon." You'll also learn basic music theory as Fred shows you how to find chords up and down the fretboard and connect them in chord families. Tab/music booklet as PDF file. Intermediate. 90 min.

Pancake bonding as a new tool to construct novel metal based magnetic materials
Credit: Reproduced from Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers., 2020, 7, 2592-2601 with permission from The Royal Society of Chemistry.
A Canadian-Finnish collaboration has led to the discovery of a novel magnetic compound in which two magnetic dysprosium metal ions are bridged by two aromatic organic radicals forming a pancake bond. The results of this study can be utilized to improve the magnetic properties of similar compounds. The theoretical investigation of the study was carried out by the Academy Research Fellow Jani O. Moilanen at the University of Jyväskylä, whereas the experimental work was performed at the University of Ottawa in the groups of Profs. Muralee Murugesu and Jaclyn L. Brusso. The research results were published in the well-recognized chemistry journal – Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers in July 2020 – with the cover art.
Magnets are used in many modern electronic devices ranging from mobile phones and computers to medical imaging devices. Besides the traditional metal-based magnets, one of the current research interests in the field of magnetism has been the study of single-molecule magnets consisting of metal ions and organic ligands. The magnetic properties of single-molecule magnets are purely molecular in origin, and it has been proposed that in the future, single-molecule magnets could be utilized in high-density information storage, spin-based electronics (spintronics), and quantum computers.
Unfortunately, most of the currently known single-molecule magnets only exhibit their magnetic properties at low temperatures near absolute zero (?273°c), which prevents their utilization in electronic devices. The first single-molecule magnet that retained its magnetization over the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (?196 °C) was reported in 2018. This study was a considerable breakthrough in the field of magnetic materials as it demonstrated that single-molecule magnets functioning at higher temperatures can be also realized.
Excellent magnetic properties of the reported compound at the elevated temperatures originated from the optimal three-dimensional structure of the compound. In theory, similar design principles could be used for single-molecule magnets containing more than one metal ion but controlling the three-dimensional structure of multinuclear compounds is much more challenging.
Bridging organic radicals were utilized in the novel compound
Instead of fully controlling the three-dimensional structure of the reported compound, a different design strategy was utilized in this study.
"Like dysprosium ions, organic radicals also have unpaired electrons that can interact with unpaired electrons of metal ions. Thus, organic radicals can be used to control the magnetic properties of a system along with metal ions. Particularly interesting organic radicals are bridging ones as they can interact with multiple metal ions. We employed this design strategy in our study, and surprisingly, we synthesized a compound where not only one but two organic radicals bridged two dysprosium ions as well as formed a pancake bond through their unpaired electrons", Prof. Muralee Murugesu from the University of Ottawa clarifies.
"Even though the formation of the pancake bond between two radicals is well known, this was the first time that the pancake bond was observed between two metal ions. The interaction between organic radicals is often referred to as pancake bonding because the three-dimensional structure of interacting organic radicals resembles a stack of pancakes", Prof. Jaclyn L. Brusso from the University of Ottawa tells.
The pancake bond in the novel compound was very strong. Therefore, the unpaired electrons of the organic radicals did not interact strongly with the unpaired electrons of the dysprosium ions and the compound functioned as a single-molecule magnet only at low temperatures. However, the study paves the way for the new design strategy for novel multinuclear single-molecule magnets and has initiated further research.
"Computational chemistry methods provided important insights into the electronic structure and magnetic properties of the compound that can be utilized in future studies. By choosing the right kind of organic radicals we can not only control the nature of the pancake bond between the radicals but also enhance the magnetic properties of the compound overall", Academy Research Fellow Jani O. Moilanen from the University of Jyväskylä comments.
The research was funded by the Universities of Ottawa and Jyväskylä as well as by the CFI, NSERC, and Academy of Finland (Project numbers: 315829, 320015) and CSC-IT Centre for Science in Finland, the Finnish Grid and Cloud Infrastructure and Prof. H. M. Tuononen (University of Jyväskylä) are acknowledged for providing computational resources for the project.

Influx Press is an independent publisher based in London, committed to publishing innovative and challenging fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction from across the UK and beyond.
Formed in 2012, we have published titles ranging from award-nominated fiction debuts and site-specific anthologies to squatting memoirs and radical poetry.
"A lynchpin of the indie scene"
– The Bookseller
WE ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS
PRAISE FOR INFLUX PRESS
Max Porter (author of Grief is the Thing With Feathers)
"Influx Press are an exciting independent publisher making good and interesting books. But more importantly Influx Press are noisy. They call out bullshit. They scream praise for good work, good people and good ideas. They are political. For a small press they have a huge presence and it is vital for all of us that they grow, continue and thrive."
Joanna Walsh (author of Vertigo)
"Influx is the publisher we need in the Brexit age, reliably publishing innovative, radical, diverse and intelligent books, that are also a load of fun."
Nikesh Shukla (author of Meatspace, editor The Good Immigrant)
"Influx Press is one of the most interesting and caring independent publishers around. They do what they do because they love everything they publish, are willing to take risks and want to add something to the culture and they're also just the nicest people in the business."
Stephanie Boland (New Statesman)
"Influx Press is one of the most important small publishing houses in the UK. Their eye for overlooked, interesting writers is unparalleled, and it's no surprise that so many of the people they take a chance on publishing go on to be so loved. The literary scene in this country would be, in my estimation, dramatically poorer without them."
Niall Griffiths (author of Grits and A Great Big Shining Star)
"A world in ugly flux needs Influx and to what it is committed to promoting, publishing, and praising. We need, more than ever, its anger, spirit, defiance, and devotion to eternal truths. While it survives, then, maybe, so will we; all is not yet doomed."
Sunny Singh (author of Hotel Arcadia)
"I love Influx Press for publishing thought provoking, fascinating – and yes often – dangerous books. Plus their books are always beautiful, with gorgeous design and high production values making them a joy to own, gift, but most importantly hold, read and reread."
Benjamin Myers (author ofThe Gallows Pole and The Offing)
"When everything is gone all that will remain will be rubble and narratives. Now more than ever it's the independent publishers who are putting out the brave new work and Influx are right there, down in the trenches, digging out the stories that matter. Collectively their diverse works offer a valuable narrative of a Britain – a world, in fact - today, each carefully considered book delivering a story that skewers the confusion of 21st century living, and which might not otherwise get told. Long may they continue their important work."
Irenosen Okojie (author of Speak Gigantular)
"Influx Press's bold vision means we get glorious books. Books that provoke, challenge and encourage us to reassess our relationships with particular spaces. They give us books you wish you'd written, books you wish you'd published, books you'll want to re-read. And in the process, make the publishing landscape more interesting. Not only do they publish brilliantly, they publish bravely. I'm delighted to have worked with them."
Salena Godden (author of Springfield Road)
"Influx make beautiful and collectable books, I am proud to have had work published in two diverse and glorious anthologies Connecting Nothing to Something and An Unreliable Guide To London. Influx always astonish and surprise us with delightful literary treats from a wide range of colourful and vivid British talent. This is independent publishing at its best and I look forward to the next books we make together!"
Inua Ellams (poet, playwright)
"Influx are so on the money, so ahead of the curve, I think they've got juju running in perfect parallel with the computers, something humming in the dark, for telling what's coming, and making sure there's a book for readers to find solace in. This year, Hold Tight: Black Masculinity, Millennials and the Meaning of Grime by Jeffrey Boakye – for me is that book."
John Reppion (comics guru, Spirits of Place editor)
"With its roots buried deep beneath the cracked concrete veneer of the city, its boughs and branches held so high and spread so far the landscape below becomes a living map, Influx Press is a publisher of unique perspective. Story and place are at the heart of it all; places and their stories, stories about places. Every book a journey eagerly awaiting travellers old and new."
Susan Tomaselli (editor of Gorse Journal)
"Influx Press are one of the most original and exciting independent publishers of the twenty-first century. Their books and authors are visionary, rewriting our expectations of literature. A new Influx Press title is always something to look forward to."
Chimene Suleyman (author of Outside Looking On)
"It is invaluable as a writer to work with people who instinctively understand the balance between allowing your creative space, whilst also guiding and navigating your words into a stronger, focused place. The innovative books that Influx consistently produce are well-considered, beautiful explorations from writers and topics I never knew I needed or wanted to read until presented with."
Courttia Newland (author of The Scholar, The Book of Blues)
"Influx are a great press - fully committed to all the things that make literature great, proactive with astoundingly fresh ideas and ways of looking at the world. It's always a pleasure to work with them, and I love the excitement of holding a book of theirs in my hands. You just know it's going to be something that reminds you what good reading actually feels like."
Simon Spanton (Elliot & Thompson)
"Ever since Gareth Rees' Marshland and Darran Anderson's Imaginary Cities I've always kept an eye out for the next new book coming from Influx. They have a real knack for finding exciting new voices: stories that manage to tell, vividly and poetically, about what it's like to live wherever we are. Whether from the centre of our cities or the margins of our worlds it's Influx's ability to find great writing that keeps me coming back to their list."
Darran Anderson (author of Imaginary Cities)
"Fearless and eclectic, Influx Press are focused on what's vitally important in literature and life; for all the advantages and curses the digital world brings us, we are creatures rooted in real places through memory, identity and stories. Exploring landscape and experience, Influx offer us writing that makes the world, even the familiar world, more meaningful, more revealing and more ours. Each book they publish is different and yet each is true to that spirit. Long may they roam."
James Miller (author of Lost Boys)
"I love Influx Press: their titles are edgy, original and unusual, they publish fresh and otherwise marginalised voices, exploring new experiences of the city and new relationships between place and prose – this is what independent publishing is all about."
Bridget Minamore (poet, essayist)
"Small publishers like Influx Press keep the industry alive, and ensure we get a variety of diverse stories from a variety of diverse people. Supporting them by buying their books is important, but attending events and donating to fundraisers is too. Influx Press do something really special – they go digging for stories about special places so the rest of us can can see them too – and I'm sure this fundraiser will help them keep enabling people to tell their stories for a long time."
Sam Berkson (author of Life In Transit)
"Influx Press have established themselves in only a few years and with almost no financial support at the forefront of interesting literature in the UK. They are committed to radical, diverse publishing and have a good eye and ear for quality writing, a sharp sense of the zeitgeist and a radical open-mindedness for the kind of genre-blurring work that they have published. I speak as one of their published authors but also a fan and I can testify to the fact that their treatment of their authors matches the politics of their publishing."
Tom Chivers (Penned in the Margins)
"Influx is a dynamic presence in the UK's indie publishing scene, and one of few publishers that focus on place-writing. Gary and Kit take risks on books that others would overlook, and in so doing are creating whole new territories of imagination. I'm proud to support their work."
Briony Bax (editor, Ambit)
"Influx Press seeks out diverse new voices in the literary sphere. They are intrepid, honest and brave. In these troubled times these are exactly the kind of people who we should be supporting."
Helen Marshall (author of The Migration)
"Influx Press is one of the most interesting upstart indie presses in operation right now. Their books are imaginatively conceived and slickly produced. I would read anything they put out: if it's by Influx I know it's going to be excellent!"
Will Wiles (author of The Way Inn and Plume)
"Influx is essential - a lively and diverse voice in a sea of stale homogeneity."
Lee Rourke (author of The Canal and Glitch)
"Influx Press explore the territories other publishers simply aren't aware exist. They are a vital, thoroughly modern publisher forging new ways at looking at the world around us. Long may they continue to seek out new horizons."

hopzng to take the record back wzth the prequel British kid who brought my partner Roland and me a full-length film he had shot for ten thousand dollars in a ga- rage." He explained, "It was an excellent film with unbelievably good effects, and the way he shot it you couldn't tell it had mostly been done on a computer, and we looked at each other and said, 'It's coming.' A hundred-per-cent-C.G. hve- action film, with no models." But so far C.G. has actually made movies more expensive than ever. When I asked Jim Morris, the president of Lucas Digi- tal, I.L.M.' s parent company, why this was so, he said, "If we did the same shots now that we did in 'T2,' those shots would be cheaper today. The fly in the ointment is that very few direc- tors are trying to do what has already been done. The line we hear ninety-nine per cent of the time is 'I want something that no one has ever seen before.' No one comes in and says, '0. K., I'll take h . ,,, tree twIsters. A potential milestone in C.G. toward which I.L.M. is racing its competitors- Jim Cameron's Digital Domain and Sony's Image Works-is the creation of the first "synthespian": a C.G. human actor in a live-action movie. "Toy Story," made by Pixar, a company that grew out ofI.L.M. and which Lucas sold to Steve Jobs ten years ago, was an all-C.G. movie, but it starred toys; no one has yet made a believable C.G. human. In "Forrest Gump" audiences saw a little bit of Kennedy: What about a whole movie starring Kennedy? Or a new James Dean movie, in which Dean is a synthesplan made up of bits digitally lifted from old images of him? Recalling Mark Hamill's remark about Lucas-"I have a sneaking suspi- cion that if there were a way to make movies without actors, George would do it"-I asked Morris if he thought syn- thetics would ever be the stars of mov- ies. Morris acknowledged that that was "a holy grail for some digital artists" but added that he didn't think a synthetic would be much of an improvement over an actor. "You get a lot for your money out of an actor," he said. "And even if you did replace him with a synthetic you're still likely to need an actor's voice, and you'd have the animator to deal with, so what's the advantage? That said, it does make sense when you're talking about safety. You don't have to have hu- man beings putting themselves at risk 53 doing stunts when you can have synthet- ics doing them." One of the lessons "Star Wars" teaches is that friends who stIck together and act courageously can overcome su- perior weapons, machines, and any other kind of technology. At the end of the first movie, Luke, down to his last chance to put a missile in the Death Star's weak spot (a maneuver that will blow up the reactor and save the Rebel Alliance from destruction), hears Obi- Wan telling him to turn off the target- ing computer in his X-Wing fighter and rely on the Force instead: "Use the Force, Luke" Clearly, the lesson is that the Force is superior to machines. My visit to I.L.M. made me wonder if that lesson .was true. At the very least, the situation seemed to be a lot more com- plex than "Star Wars" makes it out to be. The gleeful embrace of the latest thing, of the coolest effect, is a force that is at least equal to most other human qualities. The technology to create never- before-seen images also creates the de- sire to see even more amazing images, which makes the technology more and more powerful, and the people who use it correspondingly less important. And the power of business is not always in the servIce of human values or of mak- ing good films. Lucas has benevolently followed his business instincts into the new world of dazzling, digitally pro- duced effects, and has built in I.L.M. a company that currently earns tens of millions of dollars a year and will prob- ably earn much more In the future-the future! But his success is a sad blow to the fantasy that men are more powerful than machines. "The possibilities of synthetic char- acters have grown enormously, and George will rely much more on those in the new 'Star Wars' movies," Morris went on. "People in rubber suits worked for back then, and added a certain charm, but there is only so much you can do with that in terms of motion. In C.G., there really aren't physicallimita- tions. There are only believability is- sues, and George's sensitivity grounds that-he decides what works on the screen. Y oda was a Frank Oz puppet in 'Empire,' and that worked for an old, wizened Y oda who could hardly move. But in the prequels we're gOIng to have a sixty-years-younger Y oda, and we'll probably see a synthetic Y oda instead." .


ISPCA Inspector David Walsh was recently alerted by a member of the public to a pony stuck in a river. Upon arrival at the scene, Inspector Walsh found a small black pony that had clearly been in the water some time as it was shivering and exhausted from unsuccessful attempts to get out of the deep water.
Inspector Walsh, with assistance from local animal welfare volunteers, attempted to help the pony out of the water, but was unable to get him to safety.
Limerick Fire Brigade were contacted and arrived minutes later. Fire Brigade staff entered the water and used straps to pull the exhausted pony from the water, where he was immediately treated by a local equine vet who had been called to the scene by the ISPCA. The Fire Brigade then helped by showering the pony with warm water to warm him up, and he was then wrapped in a foil blanket to increase his body temperature further. After a few minutes, the pony had started to recover, and was feeling well enough to eat. The pony was not microchipped and investigations are continuing to locate an owner.
The pony, now named Fireman Sam, is in the care of the ISPCA. He has some ongoing health issues, but is receiving the treatment he needs, and will be available for rehoming once he has fully recovered from his ordeal.

You've probably noticed that some Do As Infinity songs have very weird names. Some of the weirdest names usually involve numbers ("One or Eight", "Wings510"...), and abbreviations ("D/N/A", "Ultimate G.V"..).
The good news is, these song titles actually DO have meanings. (^^) So keep reading this page if you want to learn more.
Why "CARNAVAL" isn't spelled "CARNIVAL"
10W40 This is actually a type of engine oil. In short, 10W40 is a mixture of TWO oils: "10" (which works in lower temperatures), and "40" (which works in higher temperatures).
So what does this have to do with the song? As Maiku from DAIForum.com explains, 10W40 "is a song about a relationship that hasn't been working, thus needing to be 'greased with oil' "...which is why you'll also see the word "OIL" in the lyrics. (^^) Also, since each oil in 10W40 works best in different (but equally extreme) temperatures, this could reference the different problems (and related stress) that are mentioned in the song.
135 This is the longitudinal direction/code for "Japan". (^^) That's why, when the original kanji lyrics say "135", Van sings it as "Nihon (Japan)". Also, as fate would have it, the demo music for this song was called M-135. You can learn about more demo songs in the Demo Songs section of Dai Nagao's site.
One or Eight This song was also explained by Maiku: " 'One or Eight' comes from the Japanese saying ,'Ichi ka bachi ka', which means 'Sink or Swim'. 'Ichi' can also mean 'one' in Japanese, and 'hachi/bachi' can also mean 'eight'.
This was a sports cover song, so you can see why it's named that. It's an expression similar to 'do or die'."
Wings510 On September 29, 1999, Do As Infinity's first single ("Tangerine Dream") was released. Included on that single was a song called "Wings".
"During street live performances back in 1999, 'M-42' [the demo name for 'Desire/CARNAVAL'] was often played by acoustic style although it did not have a title yet.
On November 22, 1999, 'M-42' was played by band-style with different lyrics. While Team Do As was waiting for the timing of the release of the song, they came up with another version of 'M-42' which was 'CARNAVAL' with some Latin/Spanish spices. Finally, they made up the final version of 'M-42' and released it as 'Desire' in January 2001 together with 'CARNAVAL' as the coupling song."
D/N/A This song has nothing to do with scientific "DNA" (i.e. - deoxyribonucleic acid, which stores hereditary information like hair color, disease, etc).
Instead, it stands for a phrase in a song: "Dokomade/Nagasare/Anata wa yuku no"...which translates to "How far/are you going to be pulled along/by the current?"
Ultimate G.V "G.V" (which, for some odd reason, only has ONE period) stands for "Girl's Voice".
We are blessed to have known each other.
We are not together right now.
We are in search of happiness.
We are in search of "holy light", and "silent nights".
Another thing worth noting is that the song was written at Christmas time. That is why it has several Christmas references ("holy light", "silent nights"), and it also alludes to the song, "Silent Night".
Wings [Free Live 100]: In order to commemorate their 100th live performance, they let the audience attend for free. This song was recorded from that FREE, live, 100th concert.
SUMMER DAYS [8.27 Live]: This was recorded on August 27, 2000 (8.27.2000), at their "Summer Event Live 2000" concert series. Do As Infinity performed 7 songs at each concert.
Tooku Made [Live]: This was recorded from their 3rd Anniversary Live (held in 2002), which was performed in Shibuya Public Hall.
Honjitsu wa Seiten Nari [a-nation '03 Live Ver.]: This was recorded from a-nation '03, which is the first place this song debuted at.

WhoSay Brings Social Media to the Stars (Video)
June 28, 2011 at 9:19 am PT
Have you noticed that lately an increasing number of tweets from famous people are tagged "via WhoSay"? What is this WhoSay app — and if it's good enough for Steven Tyler and Tom Hanks and Eva Longoria, can you use it too?
Not unless you're famous.
WhoSay, it turns out, is a sort of HootSuite for the stars, helping them manage their social media presence and making sure photos and videos are posted on a page the stars themselves can control and eventually monetize.
I spoke with WhoSay CEO Steve Ellis yesterday about his 18-month-old company and what it has accomplished so far. First, the start-up basics: Los Angeles-based WhoSay has raised $6 million from investors including Amazon and High Peaks Ventures. The premise for WhoSay was developed at Creative Artists Agency but now the company works with all sorts of talent agents and managers. Ellis himself previously sold his start-up Pump Audio to Getty Images.
The WhoSay product, which has been out for nine months, has hundreds of users, and they collectively have 570 million social media fans across Twitter and Facebook and get "multiple tens of millions of page views per month," said Ellis. More than half the content posted on the service is uploaded directly from WhoSay's various mobile apps.
WhoSay doesn't offer a public index of all its clients, though it's obvious who's using WhoSay since the pages themselves are all public at WhoSay.com and their tweets use the URL shortener Say.ly. Other users include Ellen DeGeneres, Dwayne Johnson, Diane Keaton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Silverman, Cristiano Ronaldo, Shahrukh Khan, Steve Martin and Katie Couric.
"Our clients create value in media space but don't get return for that value," said Ellis, pointing out this includes both new media and old media — huge amounts of entertainment coverage is driven by pictures and videos from the lives of stars, taken from their own Twitter posts or bought from paparazzi.
Any social media service will retain at least some control over the rights to use and monetize the content its users upload. WhoSay, by contrast, says it won't do anything without its users' permission and without paying them too.
"This will never be a consumer application," Ellis said, though he added that he can't exactly specify the criteria for admitting WhoSay users. Today WhoSay is primarily television and movie stars, and the company hopes to beef up its sports, politics and finance roster.
WhoSay does advise stars to post their own updates, but Ellis says he always tells them "Authenticity doesn't mean you have to tell people what you had for lunch." For instance, Diane Keaton often posts pictures of art she finds interesting. Tom Hanks has created his own series of publicity stunts for his new movie "Larry Crowne" (I had no idea Tom Hanks was such a goofball). James Franco used WhoSay to post videos from his iPhone while he hosted the Academy Awards (though he appears to have since deleted his social media presences).
But Cristiano Ronaldo's most-viewed WhoSay picture of all time is indeed a picture of his plate of food (I think it's this one), Ellis said.
Today WhoSay integrates with four platforms: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Myspace. Next will be Tumblr and international social networks, especially in China, Ellis said. The company has also started doing larger deals, for instance signing up all the contestants in the recent Miss USA pageant.
The next big thing, Ellis said, will be commercializing the service with an ad sales partner, which is coming soon.

I'll keep this short but no so sweet. I'm sure many of you saw the game against the United bunch this evening returning home with little to smile about. In what was a very dry performance that began with a fanatic start, Giggs' goal seemed to knock us further back than we had been all season. Our heads dropped, the midfield didn't turn and we were playing their game.. and this was on half time at 1-1.
Our boys needed a reminder that we were above United in the league and losing, especially at home, had so far not been on the agenda. The second half brought little change, bar Palacios coming off after a somewhat lacklustre performance, and Jenas appearing for the first time this season to replace him.
We played United's game today and looked dismal, especially in Midfield. The creative flair and excitement we had produced in the four previous games seemed to vanish when Modric did. Boy is it going to be hard without him. Lennon was quiet, Huddlestone couldn't pass and Keane, well, he was just poor. Even with 10 men United looked as though they had an extra player on the pitch and found, what was anticipated to be a tough test, a real walk in the park.
So there you have it. Our first full game without Modric and we lacked that creative spark down the left flank; or for that matter, we lacked it all over the pitch. Let's hope a week in training with our boys will do Kranjcar good and he can step up to the mark in time for next Sunday.
But still though, let's try and not get to disheartened, we've got Chelsea at their place next week.


Woodsy has come a long way since his grom days on the soggy dry slope of Sheffield Ski Village in England. The 24-year-old has carved a serious name for himself in the slopestyle realm and is one of the strongest jumpers in skiing, announcing his arrival with a 2013 X Games bronze medal in slopestyle as a rookie. Since then, he has taken a handful of World Cup wins and a silver medal at the FIS World Championships in 2013. He also competed in the 2014 Sochi Games, finishing fifth despite being hampered by a nasty hip injury. Woodsy is coming in hot off of Cardrona Games win down in New Zealand, and will be looking to use the creative new Dew Tour format to his advantage.


The life history of trout and salmon can often be interpreted via the examination under magnification of scales from respective fish. Scale reading provides information such as 'smolt age' (the number of years the fish spent in freshwater prior to migrating to sea), 'age at spawning', and growth rates.
Notable studies of sea trout from the River Ewe system, based on scale reading, include that of Nall (1926) and Walker (1980). Both these studies were based on examination of scale samples from over 1000 fish, including samples from sea trout of up to 10lb.
On 17th February 2011, WRFT held a sea trout scale reading workshop. Dr Andy Walker provided training and assisted with the reading of samples of sea trout scales collected as part of the WRFT sea trout sampling programme.
Samples of scales from the sweep netting sea trout sampling programme were compared with those from other sea trout and other 'trout' collected within Wester Ross in recent years. As an initial output from the workshop, an online trout scale catalogue is being developed. Please click here or visit the 'Sea Trout Scale Catalogue' on the downloads page to access examples.
Thank you to Dr Andy Walker for supporting this workshop. The workshop was funded by the Scottish Government via the Tripartite Working Group.
