Sarah Clark brings baseball to the Cartoon Art Museum
By Jesse Russell on September 12, 2013 in Bay Area Comic News, Exhibits
Panel from Sarah Clark's "Season Ticket Diaries"
At the start of this year's baseball season Oakland-based illustrator Sarah Clark found herself with season tickets to the A's. Seeing so many games in her future she decided to document her summer of baseball through short comic strips called "Season Ticket Diaries." She's currently up to her 18th game of the season which documents the August 4 showdown with the Texas Rangers. Clark has been tapped to be the next "Cartoonist-in-Residence" at the Comic Art Museum on September 21. Visitors to the museum will be able to view her illustrations, watch her work, and ask questions. She'll be at the museum between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., which also happens to be the same time the A's will be playing the Minnesota Twins. Be sure to thank her for choosing to spend part of her day at the museum instead of at the ball park.

How North Korea's electricity supply became one of the world's worst
How the DPRK went from producing 85% of all electricity in Korea to regular blackouts
Andrei Lankov
One of the most often reproduced images of North Korea is a nighttime photo taken from space.
Deep darkness covers the whole country, in vivid contrast to its Southern neighbor: even in the sea one can see a floating island of light, produced by fishing boats catching squid. Meanwhile, in North Korea, one can see only a handful of dimly lit spots, the biggest of which is, predictably, Pyongyang.
Another less known but equally telling picture can be observed in the Chinese border city of Dandong. One cannot say that Dandong's streets are particularly well lit at night, but the city is very different to its North Korean twin city of Sinuiju, located on the opposite bank of the Yalu River. For years Sinuiju was completely dark, with very few dim lights occasionally seen from China. Only the statue of the leader (from 2014 it is two leaders), brightly illuminated by torchlights, is seen from China: while the statue was hidden being a small hill, a column of yellowish light goes up to the anthracite dark skies over the land of Juche.
However, it seems that these images are becoming outdated. When, early this year, I visited Dandong, I was surprised to see lights on the opposite bank of the river – even a green neon sign was visible. It was the first time in over a decade that I had seen the North Korean bank not shrouded in a near complete darkness (the only exceptions being the torchlights near the statues of the leaders).
In August things looked even better: while Sinuiju is definitely not flooded with bright lights, it is lit much, much better than it has ever been since the early 2000s. The number of neon signboards had increased to four of five, and many buildings had lights as well.
These changes reflect the gradual improvement of the economic situation in North Korea, but it is still easy to see that the situation remains quite dire – and will probably not improve a great deal in the near future.
The cliche is that North Korea is shrouded in darkness – and this is, to some extent, true I Photo by Konrad Lembcke
There is some irony in this situation: when, in 1948, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea officially came into being, its coat of arms was dominated by a depiction of a large hydropower plant. Given the current situation, this is surprising, but in those days North Korea was well ahead of all its neighbors in terms of power production, so the might of its energy production was seen as an appropriate symbol of the young country and its economic prospects.
As of 1944, North Korea's plants produced 85% of all electricity in Korea, so in the late 1940s, Pyongyang's refusal to keep providing the South with electricity was a major blow to the then-struggling economy of South Korea.
The major foundation of North Korea's electricity production were powerful hydroelectric plants, built by the Japanese in the 1930s and 1940s on the Yalu river. The Sup'ung power plant, which became fully operational right before Liberation, in 1944, was the largest of them – some have suggested this is the plant the North Korean coat-of-arms depicts.
It is still easy to see that the situation remains quite dire
Incidentally, the emphasis on hydropower has remained a feature of North Korea up to the present day. Nowadays, some 52% of North Korea's electricity is generated by hydroelectric plants – even though in recent decades the share of the fossil fuels (mostly coal) has increased significantly.
However, the once powerful industry has now suffered what was, essentially, the fate of all the "industrial heritage" North Korea inherited from the colonial era: decades of overuse and poor maintenance, magnified by the irrationality of the economic system, led to its steady decline.
By the late 1970s, North Korean cities and industry began to face power shortages, while South Korea was busily building a network of nuclear power plants which, by 1990, would flood the country with cheap energy.
The Sup'ung dam on the border between North Korea and China I Photo: Jacky Lee – http://www.geolocation.ws/v/P/47504350/water-falling-from-supung-dam/en
So when in the 1990s Soviet aid disappeared suddenly, North Korean electricity generation collapsed. Most of the plants could operate only sporadically, due to the shortage of spare parts and fuel (mines had ceased operations and were often flooded).
Emphasis on hydropower has remained a feature of North Korea up to the present day
GRIM PICTURE
Thus, for North Koreans, the last 25 years have been a time of darkness, with frequent blackouts a part of daily life even in Pyongyang. Trains which, in the 1970s, were switched to electricity on the assumption that diesel fuel had to be imported, suffered most: in 2000 it could take a few days to reach Chongjin or Hamhung from Pyongyang, since the train would often abruptly stop in the middle of nowhere and wait for a few hours until electricity could be provided again. After sunset, most cities were plunged into complete darkness.
This severe electricity shortage even had an impact on North Korea's nascent real estate market: apartments at higher levels cost significantly less, since elevators were seldom operational, and water supply is often a problem if you live above the third or fourth floor.
But the situation has improved in recent years: since 2000, electricity production has increased by some 15-20%, but things are still pretty grim by the standards of many other countries. Per capita electricity generation in North Korea in recent years has fluctuated around the 750 kWh mark, while in South Korea the same indicator is above 9,000 kWh. The gap is huge, and this is humiliating for the country which was once so proud of its power stations.
Predictably, this uneasy situation prompted North Koreans, always resourceful people, to look for new ways to deal with the electricity problem.
For North Koreans the last 25 years have been a time of darkness
Historically, the first solution was provided by small generators, usually powered by a small internal combustion engine, but sometimes by owners pushing bicycle-like pedals to produce electricity. Such mini-generators, imported from China, became a hit around 2000.
Even a short walk through a Chinese market catering to the demands of the North Koreans would give you many opportunities to see such contraptions. When visiting a more affluent North Korean city they can be seen on the balconies of many houses, as well as in backyards.
But as a source of power a mini-generator has serious limitations. To start with, it requires expensive fuel and is not very reliable, but its major problem is noise.
Generators can be switched on only sporadically, and for short periods of time, lest your neighbors get angry with you. The mini-generators are used to charge large batteries which now can be found in nearly all North Korean houses, supplying electricity to TV sets, lamps and other simple devices.
Alas, due to noise, it is out of the question to use one to constantly power a fridge or an air-conditioner. These household appliances, which often serve as status symbols in post-crisis North Korea, are remarkably power-hungry.
Despite recent improvements, power remains an issue for North Koreans I Photo by jfjwak
One of the most striking things one encounters in North Korea nowadays is the omnipresent solar panels, which became available only a few years ago and took the country by storm. The outside walls of houses are nearly all plastered with solar panels, usually hanging below the window of a multi-story building.
They are cheap: one would pay an equivalent of USD$40 for a 20-Watt panel which will meet the most basic needs of a household. Once again, electricity is saved in batteries and then used to run simple household appliances, which are increasingly economical these days. The introduction of the LED was a particularly good news for North Koreans, since it allows them to cut down on the consumption levels of the internal lighting.
This is humiliating for the country which once was so proud of its power stations
The third option is the most expensive and adventurous, but, ultimately, the most efficient. While blackouts are common in North Korea, for power grid managers some customers are more equal than others. If there are problems with electricity supply, it is homes which are switched off first, followed by non-military factories and less important institutions. If the situation is really tough, military bases, headquarters of police and major state institutions (like local party committees) are switched off as well.
Therefore, many well-connected and rich North Koreans have their houses connected by a privately laid cable connected to the supply of one of these powerful institutions.
In some cases, a cluster of rich people's houses can be supplied by one cable connected to, say, a secret police headquarters or a military base. Such an arrangement is illegal, and bribes have to be paid, but the abundant and reliable supply of electricity is worth all the trouble. People who can afford this prefer such an arrangement which, among other things, means that they can use fridges, air-conditioners and washing machines.
So, as usual, people have found ways to survive, if not prosper, in a difficult situation. One can hope that the improvement of the general economic situation will continue, so in due time even less affluent North Koreans will be able to afford to have their fridges switched on without paying bribes to a colonel at a military base nearby – or using a noisy generator.

Croatia Manages to Access Just 21% of Available EU Funds
in Latest
Statistics from the European Union reveal how Croatia has lacked the ability to access available EU funds…..
As part of the EU's cohesion policy, Croatia had 815 million euros at its disposal between the period of 2007 – 2013, more than half of which (449.4 million euros), since it became a full member state in July last year. Daily Jutarnji list reports that Croatia has only managed to access just 21.7% of available fund. The average utilisation of EU member states was just over 67%, 3-times more than what Croatia managaed. The report goes onto say that the European Commission expects Croatia to markedly increase the amount of funds it accesses in the coming years.
More than 10 billion euros will be available to Croatia from structural and financial funds from 2014 – 2020. From that amount 8.3 billion will be set aside for investment in growth and jobs, and over 2 billion for rural and agriculture development. 280 million euro has been set aside for marine and fishing development and 66 million for youth employment.
Being part of a club is not all about taking, Croatia's contribution to the EU's 2013 budget was 211.9 million euro.

I hope you've all gathered yourselves now, because we're doing it all again tomorrow for team final, and there is a medal for the taking for the British ladies.
That was some competition, this is where we are with British WAG now, we are up there, we are fighting for team medals, for individual finals and medals, and frankly that makes for terrifying spectating. I wouldn't change it for the world though, would you?
There is only one team that has what we don't have, and that is the US with the unwavering stability to go with their immense difficulty. If we can get to the point where we crack stability, we will all breather a little easier. For now, we are with the Russians and the Chinese, the silver and bronze are there for the taking, whoever can hit under the immense pressure can take them home.
China scored 175.279 they hit three pieces, and counted a lower score on floor as one of their top floor workers had a rough routine, meaning they missed her usual contribution, and the third score they did count, was a little down on what it could be.
Russia scored 174.620, hitting vault and bars, but counted a fall on beam, and one on floor.
GB scored 174.064, hit vault, counted 0.6 off on bars, counted a fall on beam, and a lower D score for Becky having missed her change ring, then a lower floor counting Ruby who did a great job, but missing Ellie who would have brought in the higher score.
It's very close between these three teams if they can hit, if not, Japan, Germany, and Brazil are there ready. Like I say it's going to come down to who holds their nerve, stays on the apparatus, and on their feet. Get yourself balanced right on the edge of your seat Tuesday night.
So how did our gymnasts fare? Well in short they hit eleven out of sixteen routines, and finished 4th in qualification. I think of the teams in the running, they have the most margin to improve, but of course I know the British routines better that I know the Chinese and Russian ones, and at present there aren't videos to pour over and compare. It is worth noting that finishing 4th in Olympic qualification on far from the best day is a huge step forward over the last quad, and the highest ever placing by a British team. Performing at around 65% this is still the best team result yet, that is the potential, and therein of course lies the disappointment when it is not fulfilled.
Ok firstly, I apologise for some vague reporting here, especially when regular readers know I'm all about the huge detail, videos, routine breakdown and analysis, but there just wasn't that much routine coverage, and more strangely, none online as yet to share. It is amazing to have coverage of all subdivisions, not quite as amazing was the amount of time spent showing the gymnasts after routines, and the crowd. I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CROWD ARE DOING, SHOW ME AMY ON FLOOR!!!!!!!!
Ok, so from my notes……..
The longer story I wish was a happier one, there were many positives, but tinged with such disappointment. The sadness here is that the potential in terms of qualifying for finals and then possible medals was enormous, it just didn't happen on the day, and there will be none more disappointed than the gymnast who have worked so hard for so long.
The team started on bars, Claudia up first, and a fall for her at the beginning of the routine. As we didn't see it, my assumption is the Maloney, or the piked Tkatchev. I have read it was a Shap half, but we've never seen her do that skill before, so likely not.
Ruby went for her safer routine, leaving out the Tkatchev after the Maloney and before the Bhardwaj. I always say this is her solid 14.80 routine, and that's exactly what she scored, so a really strong start for her, and her highest bars score this year so far.
Becky up last, and this is pretty much how I feel about it: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, THIS IS NOT WHAT WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Eugh I almost don't want to write about it, and here's why. If she had hit that routine, she would be sitting in second behind Madison Kocian who was for me a tiny bit generously scored. In other words the judges love Becky's work, and were willing to give her the very big score to challenge not just for a medal, but for the title.
Becky scored 15.233, she needed 15.300 for the top eight. She was 0.067 away from the final.
Becky had to go for the big routine, the 15.1 ish she usually scores for her less difficult routine wouldn't be enough for an Olympic final. The big problem was of course that she hit her feet on the bar after the Shang, 0.5 off, BUT she also competed a Ricna the Stalder straddle Tkatchev, instead of the Downie, the stalder piked Tkatchev after her toe full giving her 6.8 D score instead of 6.9. Even with hitting her feet, that 0.1 difference would have got her into the final.
Lets us all hope for complete redemption for Becky in team final, hitting the entire routine cold, and bringing in a monster score.
On to beam, and Amy up first. I'm always saying she's a big time competitor, and she hit her big beam skills. Completely solid on the gainer three layouts, free walkover to sissone, to full spin with a tiny adjustment. Solid again on the standing full, the change half, and the free cartwheel. Lovely and light on the change to sissone leap series, triple full dismount with just a hop to the side. Big pressure, big start for Amy. This is exactly the sort of attack and belief you want to see on beam. Amy is the second reserve for the beam final, equal score with Ellie, just one place behind as it's decided on E score, a great performance from her here, and her highest score of the year on this piece.
Ellie up second, linked the front to the W jump, then huge standing Arabian with the tiniest adjustment on landing. Change to change half solid, quite a big wobble on the double spin, but safe. Clean and solid through the flick layout, and the sissone to free cartwheel, great two and a half dismount. First reserve for the beam final, just missing it by 0.033, so the spin cost her, never the less, a great routine.
Claudia we didn't see, but she did really well hitting all of her enormous skills, then came to grief on the free cartwheel, something she's been completely solid on all year. A big shame for her, as it had severe repercussions for her AA qualification, more on that later.
Becky too came to grief on beam, right at the start, on the front somi. She was then so clean, for me such a classy beam worker. The issue she had on top of the fall, was that she again struggled on the change to ring, performing the change leap instead. It's been a bit hit and miss for her this year, she can do it really well, but my impression is she doesn't 100% believe that herself at times. As Becky already counts a change leap earlier in the routine, she gets no value here for the change leap, meaning she then counts an A dance element instead of an E bringing her D score down by 0.4 which is a big drop to her total.
So half way round, and a mixed outing so far for the team. Beam and bars over, we could all relax a little. Ha, NO there is NO relaxing during Olympic viewing!!!
Ruby started the team off strongly, two and a half times round in the Y scale spin, double Arabian with a big pace, but under control. Lovely change to ring through to tour jete full leaps, then very clean through the third tumble one and a half to straight front full with a sissone on the end which makes for a very tidy landing. She was a little short on the change full, then finished really well with a double twisting straight front to a full spin. great job again from Ruby, peaking again when she needs to, for the big occasion.
Amy went up second, and hit the biggest floor of her life so far, so much so, that she earned herself a place in the final. Full twisting double straight to open, double double back. Nicely through the leaps, then she used the one and a half to double tuck. reports from podium training say she used a triple twist on the end of this tumble, so perhaps we shall see her go for it in the final. Change full to sissone, big stuck double pike to finish. Great new routine for Amy, and exactly what we have come to expect from her, big tumbling, big energy, big performance when it matters.
Ellie's floor we didn't see, but I'm sure many of you have seen the footage of her third tumble. Seemingly she was going through no problem, then got to the two and a half to punch front, her feet were underneath her, she tried to rotate the front anyway, as she thought she could get it round, and landed on her neck. Ellie did get up, she continued to dance, then stopped. She said that she had felt something crack, and that she felt a little wobbly, so decided not to go for the final tumble.
The only correct decision to make when you have landed like this is to stop, and be immediately checked by the medical team. Nothing is more important that the health and safety of the gymnasts, and anything neck related is a huge risk. The British coaches were immediately with her, Ellie was safely escorted looking a little shell shocked from the arena, and taken for medical assessment. At this point my only thoughts as I'm sure yours were, were is Ellie ok, nothing else mattered, not finals, not results, nothing.
So for the second time in the competition, my heart broke for one of our gymnasts. Claudia hit her routine, there were no major errors at all, but as she says it wasn't her absolute best. She didn't link any of her jumps to her tumbles here, she was a tiny bit short on her triple twist, she had a big step after the double arabian, nothing big at all, just the tiniest smallest difference in one area would have put her in the final. She tied the 8th spot for floor finals score wise, but is first reserve due to the lower E score. Heartbreaking for her.
Like Becky on bars, the redemption can come in the team final. A big hit on floor is what the team need there from Claudia, as this is the piece where we can really build against Russia.
During vault warm up, Ellie came back out into the arena. My first thoughts were thank god she's alright, she's alright enough to come out and support the team, this is good news, it's not a dangerous injury if they're letting her come out. That was then followed by WHAT??? She's warming up? And then, ok well eternal hero status in the gymnastics world for you then Ellie Downie.
Not only did Ellie come back out after a very scary fall, and gather herself enough to vault on the Olympic stage, she hadn't vaulted on this podium AT ALL up to this point having jarred herself a little on floor during podium training, and therefore missed the vault rotation. At only just seventeen, she was cool as anything, and just got on with her job.
So Ruby opened for the team, and vaulted well. She'd had some difficulties on vault in training, not landing her double twisting Yurchenko, but she again stepped up when she needed to, bringing a 14.60 opening score, and finishing an excellent day for her which she should be so proud of.
Claudia next, we didn't see it, but another good double twisting Yurchenko for 14.766.
Oh Amy, when are we going to see that Amanar then? If there is a DTY out there with more time left for the half twist, I haven't seen it. She is so straight, has so much height, and so much time to spare. A fair few little birds have told me that Amy has the Amanar now, and this is no surprise at all. We haven't seen it yet in Rio, through podium or qualifications, and we may not. Like Ellie, Amy hopefully has a long senior career ahead of her as one of the stars of the British team, and of course we will see the big vault at some point, but there is absolutely no point in risking her health should she not be 100% confident with it. That said, if the team final approach is go big or go home, and she suddenly came out with an amazing Amanar, I wouldn't be at all surprised either.
Ellie went for both vaults, she did a good DTY, not her absolute best, but I think we can forgive her that, we didn't see the Lopez second vault, but it seems that she did well there too. No final this time for Ellie, her usual average would have got her in there, but I think we can all understand why she was just a couple of tenths lower today.
So everything was finished, the team final place was secured, Ellie despite not being able to finish her floor has qualified for the AA final, and Amy the floor final. There could have been so much more, Becky on bars, Claudia AA , and floor where she is first reserve for both were the two that would have been expected, and I really feel so badly for both of them. Ellie in vault we can understand, and we almost qualified two gymnasts to the beam final which is a very strong result for the British team.
I imagine there may have been some tears, but there is still much to fight for. A team medal is there for the taking no question, and they can do it, they really can do it. I believe fully in this team, they are the best we have ever had, and I know like me you will be willing them on with everything you have come Tuesday night. I know that Ellie could take the AA bronze, it's there for the taking, and looking at the scores she can do it. Mustafina is a steely competitor and will be hard to beat, but with the AA of her life she can do it.
Let's move on from the disappointments, and celebrate this team, they are strong, they are capable, lions on the leotards, lion hearts, believe in them.

Thousands in Asia Marvel at 'Ring of Fire' Solar Eclipse
People along a swath of southern Asia gazed at the sky in marvel on Thursday at a "ring of fire" solar eclipse.
The so-called annular eclipse, in which a thin outer ring of the sun is still visible, could be seen along a path stretching from India and Pakistan to Thailand and Indonesia.
Authorities in Indonesia provided telescopes and hundreds of special glasses to protect viewers' eyes. Thousands of people gazed at the sky and cheered and clapped as the sun transformed into a dark orb for more than two minutes, briefly plunging the sky into darkness. Hundreds of others prayed at nearby mosques.
"How amazing to see the ring of fire when the sun disappeared slowly," said Firman Syahrizal, a resident of Sinabang in Indonesia's Banda Aceh province who witnessed the eclipse with his family.
The previous annular solar eclipse in February 2017 was also visible over a slice of Indonesia.

Application of the QCA Corporate Governance Code - All AIM company review
As part of our research on which corporate governance codes are followed by AIM companies, we also reviewed some aspects of the level of application of the 800+ companies on AIM that have adopted the QCA Corporate Governance Code.
Below is a summary of what proportion of companies fully apply the QCA Code and three areas where they are diverging.
1. Corporate Governance statement
Nearly all of the companies applying the QCA Code (821 of 823) have a corporate governance statement. Of these;
66% state that they fully apply the QCA Code
31% state that they do not fully apply (either explicitly or implicitly)
The extent to which the remainder (3%) apply is unclear due to vagueness and ambiguity in their statements.
2. The Chair's Corporate Governance Statement
The four aspects of the Chair's statement in the QCA Code are to:
Set out the Chair's role and responsibility for governance;
Explain how the QCA Code has been applied;
Highlight where practice differs from our recommendations; and
Identify key governance matters during the year, including changes to arrangements.
In our assessment, over half of the companies adopting the QCA Code (52%) do not fully meet these four aspects in the Chair's statement.
Often companies' statements would mention how the QCA Code has been applied but not set out the Chair's role, highlight where practice differs from the Code, or identify key governance matters during the year.
3. QCA Code Principle 5 - the Board
Principle 5 ("Maintain the board as a well-functioning, balanced team led by the Chair") is the least fully adhered to Principle of the QCA Code, with 27% companies not meeting this. Most commonly, this is because they do not have the minimum recommendation of two independent NEDs.
When there are reasons cited for this, it is typically due to the early stage of development or small-sized nature of the company. Another common explanation is that there have been recent resignations.
Many companies express a desire to hire an additional independent NED, either to apply the code's minimum recommendation of two independent NEDs, or to go beyond that in an attempt to further strengthen their corporate governance. However, it is worth noting that there is a spectrum of some companies 'actively recruiting', and others merely 'considering' hiring an (additional) independent NED.
Another frequent departure from Principle 5 is that of a separation between the roles of CEO and Chair. There is typically an acceptable justification for this given, often to do with (again) the early stage of development and/or small-size of a company, as well as resignations. Occasionally, a blending of the roles of CEO and Chair has occurred because of Board members being on maternity leave or the death of a Board member.
A few companies did not apply the section of the Principle stating that: 'the board should be supported by committees (e.g. audit, remuneration and nomination) that have the necessary skills and knowledge to discharge their duties and responsibilities effectively.' Most significantly, 27 companies did not have a nominations committee.
4. QCA Code Principle 7 - Board evaluations
Principle 7 ("Evaluate board performance based on clear and relevant objectives, seeking continuous improvement") created some confusion, especially with regards to board evaluations.
Whilst the QCA Code does differentiate between internal and external evaluations, many companies began discussing the formality of their evaluation process(es) and believe themselves to be transgressing because of their informal, 'ad hoc' approach. However, this does not necessarily go against the principle and, accordingly, the percentage of companies who have not adhered to the QCA Code would actually be less than the previously mentioned figure.
Nonetheless, a significant number of companies have stated that they will begin to improve their evaluations for the future. Some are planning annual, externally-facilitated board evaluations. Nearly all companies who have declared their intentions to have board evaluations in the future have cited their desire to apply (or in some cases, go beyond) the QCA Code as the primary reason for this.
In addition, a few companies have no succession plans in place, often because the board is not of an appropriate 'size and maturity'.
The list of all companies on AIM at the end of October 2018 was downloaded from London Stock Exchange's website. The websites of the 927 companies on AIM were then manually reviewed in November 2018 to record which code they had applied.
Our thanks to Max Simmonds for conducting this research.
The QCA and accountancy firm UHY Hacker Young recently conducted an in-depth review of 50 AIM companies' level of application of the QCA Code - see the results here.

Here's why mosquitos are so bad right now — and why you don't have to worry too much about West Nile virus
Jake Prinsen
Mosquitoes are becoming a late summer nuisance in Wisconsin, but they aren't necessarily spreading more illnesses like West Nile virus.
Insect experts at the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and University of Wisconsin are getting reports of high mosquito activity, especially in eastern parts of the state.
There are about 60 mosquito species in the region. With recent rains, floodwater mosquitoes, in particular, are laying their eggs in low-lying pools and reproducing rapidly, changing in some cases from larva to adult stages in just one week. Typically, the process takes about two weeks.
While the blood-sucking insects are ruining late summer barbecues, campfires and cornhole tournaments, there's a bit of a silver lining.
"We typically don't have significant disease concerns with them," said PJ Liesch, a University of Wisconsin entomologist. "These floodwater mosquitoes can be a nuisance, and they can lead to lots of bites and things like that, but in many cases they aren't carrying diseases like West Nile virus."
More:Heading outside this summer? Here's what you need to know about bug repellents
More:Have you seen ticks this summer? Here's what you should know about Lyme, Anaplasmosis, other diseases they spread
Department of Health Services records on mosquito-borne illnesses reflect that so far this year. DHS Vectorborne Disease Epidemiologist Rebecca Osborn said she's hearing reports of low numbers of West Nile virus in humans and mosquitoes across the Midwest.
"West Nile virus is very episodic, so we have certain years where it's very high, and then it goes down for a few years, and it can go back up," she said. "It has a cyclical pattern, so it's not unusual to have some years where activity is very high and then years where it's very low."
DHS on average records 44 cases of mosquito-borne illnesses in humans each year. However, many infections cause mild symptoms that go undiagnosed, so the actual number is likely higher.

The most common symptoms for mosquito-borne illnesses resemble the flu — things like fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headaches and light sensitivity. If the illnesses progress, they can lead to neurological issues like confusion, memory loss, coma and paralysis. The most severe cases can cause death.
Osborn said one of the most serious illnesses caused by mosquitoes is eastern equine encephalitis, which was reported this summer in four horses in Monroe, Burnett, Calumet and Marquette counties. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain caused by an infection or autoimmune response.
The infection is spread to mosquitoes from birds, and from mosquitoes to horses and people they bite. Horses can't spread it to people or other mosquitoes that bite them.
There are vaccines for eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile virus for horses, but not for humans.
"Over 90% of horses that get EEE who are not vaccinated against it can die," Osborn said. "There are a lot of different causes of encephalitis, but of the viruses that are spread by mosquitoes in Wisconsin, several of them can cause encephalitis."
Depending on the weather, Liesch expects the mosquitoes will hang around until the early fall. They're typically at their worst in August and September, but if warm, wet conditions continue we could experience them until first frost.
There are precautions people can take, especially if they're one of the people who appear to be a favorite snack of mosquitoes, which is a real thing, by the way.
Studies have shown that some people are more attractive to mosquitoes, and it can be due to anything from their metabolism and the chemicals they exhale, to the microbial communities on their skin.
"It's not one single thing," Liesch said. "If you think about humans, we excrete a lot of different chemicals on our skin through sweat, for example. Everyone is going to have a slightly different scent that we give off because of those chemicals."
Here's a list of ways Osborn and Liesch suggest to prevent mosquito bites:
Avoid peak mosquito hours.
Wear loose-fitting, permethrin-treated clothing.
Set up a fan blowing air at you. Because of their small body mass, mosquitoes can't fly well in windy conditions.
Use EPA-approved repellents that include DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
Check your yard for mosquito breeding habitat and dump it out. That could be a kiddie pool, birdbath, flower pot or anything collecting water.
Use citronella or geranial candles.
Use devices like Thermacell, which uses a heating element to vaporize repellant.

Fat Cell Alterations Implicated in Breast Cancer Metastases
By Marilynn Larkin
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In preclinical experiments, researchers have uncovered a mechanism linking fat cells altered by type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance to breast cancer metastases.
"The health of nearby fat cells has never been taken into consideration in oncology," Dr. Gerald Denis of Boston University School of Medicine told Reuters Health by email. "Mostly, fat cells have been ignored as large storage depots that don't do much. But our results show they are in close communication with breast cancers of all subtypes."
"Metabolic health, insulin sensitivity and metabolic medications (like metformin) are all factors that influence fat cell biology," he said. "These should be considered when evaluating breast cancer patients for risk of progression, metastasis, relapse and treatment failure. The same concerns are likely important for any obesity-driven cancer."
"Hospital populations with a high prevalence of obesity and metabolic disease would likely benefit from an endo-oncology consult, where metabolism is closely considered along with the current standard of care," he added.
In their Science Signaling report, Dr. Denis and colleagues describe experiments in cells that led to the proposed connection between fat cells (adipocytes) and breast cancer. They found that human adipocytes shed exosomes (small vesicles released into blood and/or nearby tissues and fluids) that induce the expression of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT; associated with cancer progression and metastases) in cocultured breast cancer cell lines.
Transcription of these genes was further increased in cells exposed to exosomes shed from adipocytes derived from cancer-free patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and from insulin-resistant adipocytes.
Further investigation revealed that insulin resistance triggered exosomes to deliver more cancer-linked proteins, such as thrombospondin-5 (TSP5), to breast cancer cells, partially contributing to EMT in the recipient cells.
A bioinformatic analysis of breast cancer patient tissue showed that greater coexpression of genes associated with cancer (e.g., TSP5) correlated with poorer prognosis - specifically, decreased distant metastasis-free survival.
Summing up, the authors state, "Our findings reveal a mechanism of exosome-mediated cross-talk between metabolically abnormal adipocytes and breast cancer cells that may promote tumor aggressiveness in patients with T2D."
Dr. Neil Iyengar, Associate Attending in the Breast Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Associate Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, both in New York City, commented on the study in an email to Reuters Health.
"This is a very important study which extends our knowledge of the mechanisms through which metabolic dysfunction promotes cancer growth," he said. "The role of metabolic dysfunction in cancer progression is now increasingly recognized in cancer research, and is gradually being translated to clinical practice."
"Classic obesity (BMI of 30 or greater) is now recognized as the leading modifiable risk factor for the incidence and mortality of several cancers," he noted. "Despite this growing recognition, metabolic disorders beyond classical obesity - such as insulin resistance independent of body weight- are not typically considered during cancer treatment."
"This is a major problem," he said, "since several commonly used cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy, can further exacerbate metabolic dysfunction, even if initially subclinical. For example, patients treated with certain endocrine and chemotherapies have a higher risk of developing diabetes and fatty liver, which, paradoxically, can then increase risk of cancer recurrence and/or metastasis."
"Therefore, it is critical that future research continues to elucidate biologic targets and clinically feasible biomarkers to assess and mitigate the tumor-promoting effects of metabolic dysfunction - particularly for normal weight individuals in whom metabolic dysfunction is often undiagnosed," he said.
"For now," he added, "it is imperative that oncology clinicians identify metabolic risk factors at the time of cancer diagnosis so that, at the minimum, lifestyle interventions can be recommended if needed."

Dubliners and visitors from across the world are set to take to the streets of the capital for the St Patrick's Day parade in the city centre.
Crowds are building to catch the big event at 12pm today when the floats, musicians and dancers will be taking off from Parnell Street.
The parade will weave it's way down O'Connell Street and Westmoreland Street before turning onto Dame Street.
From there, it continues on to Lord Edward Street and then goes on to Nicholas Street and Patrick Street. Finally, it turns toward Kevin Street where the route finishes up.
And we'll be bringing you all the latest updates from local parades in other parts of the capital too.
The parade takes off from Parnell Square and makes its way through O'Connell St, around College Green, up to Christchurch and down the appropriately named Patrick St to finish on Cuffe St.
Diversions will also be in place on Custom House Quay and Merrion Square as adrenaline-seekers converge on two funfairs. These run from 11am on Saturday until Monday evening.
There will be further traffic restrictions on Sunday, when the most active green-wearers run the 5k Road Race, starting at midday on St Stephen's Green. Street performers will keep participants on track through Pembroke St, Wilton Terrace and Leeson St.
For those who aren't that keen on running, the Big Day Out shares Merrion Square with the funfair on Sunday. Merrion Square Sth and Merrion St Upr will be closed for the day to facilitate the céilí, street performances and workshops.
Outside the city centre, smaller parades take place around the county on Saturday, including Blanchardstown, Lucan, Swords, Balbriggan, Lusk, Rush, Skerries, Tallaght, Clondalkin, Rathcoole and Stepaside. See the map below for traffic restrictions in each of these areas. More detailed information on timings, closures and diversions in your area is available on the bigger AA Routeplanner map.
Dublin City Council's pay-and-display parking spaces are free on Saturday, though some restrictions will be in place.

Guatemala Raises Minimum Age of Marriage to Eighteen
On 5th November 2015 the minimum age of marriage for both boys and girls was raised to eighteen in Guatemala.
Guatemala's Congress voted 87 to 15 in favour of raising the minimum age of marriage from fourteen to eighteen for girls and from sixteen to eighteen for boys. However, the new legislation contains a provision that allows sixteen year old girls to marry with the consent of a judge. This stipulation means that Guatemalan law is not in line with recommendations by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women that the minimum age of marriage be set no lower than eighteen for both sexes.
Congressman Leonel Lira says the bill will treat sex with underage youths as a form of rape.
UNICEF expert Juan Quinonez says there have been about 4,000 marriages a year in Guatemala involving girls ages fifteen to nineteen. He says 4,700 girls from age ten to fourteen get pregnant every year.
According to UNICEF statistics, for the period 2002 -2012, 7% of girls were married by fifteen and 30% by eighteen.

Want to be notified of new releases in BrunoBernardino/snailjs?
It's not very opinionated. It's meant to build an app using Webpack (for dev/prod optimizations), Babel (for the nice import syntax and other goodies), a Koa backend, a React frontend, and Flow static typing, with some common needs like routing, absolute paths, SASS parsing, tests, and build processes.
Other than that, it doesn't force you to specific tech solutions like how to code split, redux, mobx, mustache, mongo, mysql, etc. There are other tools for that kind of opinionated app building like SailsJS.
If you need a simple frontend app, try create-react-app. If you need a bit more complexity (or a "webpacked" node app), Neutrino is pretty good as well.
This really serves the purpose of someone wanting/needing something like SailsJS but without all the magic/opinionated code.
node (ideally via nvm, so .nvmrc is respected) and yarn.
Note this is a simple deployment setup. It's scalable, but not necessarily following best security practices. Ideally you'll have/use a non-root user, VPNs/VPCs, load balancers, and all that, but you never need that upfront, so this is meant to help get your feet off the ground and into space, not Mars (and it should define a structure to get there when you need to).
default = "Token From DigitalOcean. Get it at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens"
default = "The MD5 Fingerprint from your SSH Key at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/security"
That assumes DigitalOcean already has your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key in https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/security.
After you run make deploy you'll be able to ssh root@IP_ADDRESS and cd /app && ./stop.sh, cd /app && ./start.sh, orcd /app && ./restart.sh. Ideally you'll also setup a cron or manually run certbot renew to update the SSL certificates.
If you need to update the app, just run IP=IP_ADDRESS make deploy/update and it'll build the assets, push them over, and restart the server.

Pig Welfare Indicators More Visible in Abattoir
ANALYSIS – Pig carcase inspections at abattoir level may be made more effective by scalding and dehairing processes, Northern Irish experts are suggesting.
Rather than obscuring or removing marks, these actions improve visibility of tail lesions, loin bruising and severe skin lesions, the British Society of Animal Science conference heard last week.
Mild or moderate lesions were, however, were made less visible by scalding, the Teagasc, Queens University Belfast and the School of Veterinary Medicine research showed.
The team hopes the work, which surveyed nearly 4,000 pigs in two abattoirs, feeds back to farms and informs welfare assessments.
Working on the study was Dr Niamh O'Connell, who said: "The long term goals is to show up persistent problems for farms - they will be submitting pigs every few weeks."
She said scraping carcasses removed chunks of flesh but did not cause any scratch marks.
And while the nature of the assessment was retrospective, she sees abattoir observation as a means of benchmarking animal welfare standards.
"We know its too late for the pigs being assessed but it does address problems and allow farms to see how they compare to other farms."
She added: "The results also suggest there would be both welfare and economic advantages to reducing levels of harmful social and aggressive behaviour in pigs."
Such lesions are a proxy measure for aggressive behaviour, with markings indicative of the nature of aggression depending where on the carcass they can be found.
This is according to PhD student Suzanne Desire at the SRUC, Scotland's Rural College, who told the conference that aggressive traits have low to moderate heritabilities.
"There is correlation between skin lesions and aggression but no one has calculated this link," said Mrs Desire, prefacing her own study into selecting commercial pigs.
"Lesions counted at the front come from reciprocal aggression, lesions at the rear signal that a pig has been attacked – lesions in the centre of the body can mean a bit of both."

Exclusive: Australia-U.S. refugee swap again in doubt as officials exit Nauru
SYDNEY/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. officials interviewing refugees held in an Australian-run offshore detention center left the facility abruptly, three detainees told Reuters on Saturday, throwing further doubt over a plan to resettle many of the detainees in America.
U.S. officials halted screening interviews and departed the Pacific island of Nauru on Friday, two weeks short of their scheduled timetable and a day after Washington said the United States had reached its annual refugee intake cap.
"U.S. (officials) were scheduled to be on Nauru until July 26 but they left on Friday," one refugee told Reuters, requesting anonymity as he did not want to jeopardize his application for U.S. resettlement.
In the United States, a senior member of the union that represents refugee officers at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a Department of Homeland Security agency, told Reuters his own trip to Nauru was not going forward as scheduled.
Jason Marks, chief steward of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 1924, told Reuters his trip has now been pushed back and it was unclear whether it will actually happen. The USCIS did not respond to requests for comment.
The Australian Immigration Department declined to comment on the whereabouts of the U.S. officials or the future of a refugee swap agreement between Australia and the United States that President Donald Trump earlier this year branded a "dumb deal".
An indefinite postponement of the deal would have significant repercussions for Australia's pledge to close a second detention center on Papua New Guinea's Manus island on Oct 31. Only 70 refugees, less than 10 percent of the total detainees held in the camp, have completed U.S. processing.
"The U.S. deal looks more and more doubtful," Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition said. "The U.S. deal was never the solution the Australian government pretended it to be."
Former U.S. President Obama agreed a deal with Australia late last year to offer refuge to up to 1,250 asylum seekers, a deal the Trump administration said it would only honor to maintain a strong relationship with Australia and then only on condition that refugees satisfied strict checks.
In exchange, Australia has pledged to take Central American refugees from a center in Costa Rica, where the United States has taken in a larger number of people in recent years.
The swap is designed, in part, to help Australia close both Manus and Nauru, which are expensive to run and have been widely criticized by the United Nations and others over treatment of detainees.
A State Department spokeswoman said on Friday that USCIS "has not yet concluded adjudications of any refugees being considered for resettlement out of Australian facilities in Nauru and Manus islands," and referred questions on timing to USCIS.
The U.S. government confirmed on Thursday that its refugee intake cap of 50,000 people had been reached with the new intake year not due to begin until Oct. 1.
Exemptions could be made for those who have a "credible claim to a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States", following a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court last month reviving elements of Trump's travel ban while it considers the legality of the order.
Given the risky boat journey the refugees in Manus and Nauru undertook to reach Australia, it is unlikely many of them have strong family ties to the United States, experts said. The majority of the detainees interviewed on both Manus and Nauru by U.S. officials in April are from Sudan, Somalia and Afghanistan.
Australia's hardline immigration policy requires asylum seekers intercepted at sea trying to reach Australia to be sent for processing to camps at Manus and on the South Pacific island of Nauru. They are told they will never be settled in Australia.
Trump's resistance to the refugee deal had strained relations with a key Asia Pacific ally, triggering a fractious phone call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull earlier this year.
Trump's concession and a series of high-level visits by U.S. dignities has since help mend connections between the two countries.
Australia has already offered detainees up to $25,000 to voluntarily return to their home countries, an offer few have taken up.

More than 28,000 new immigrants arrived in Israel last year, with two-thirds coming from former Soviet countries. New immigrants tend to prefer big cities, with Tel Aviv being the top pick.

(July 10, 2019 / Israel Hayom) A total of 28,099 new immigrants arrived in Israel in 2018—an increase of 6.6 percent compared to 2017, according to statistics published Tuesday by Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics.
According to the data, more than two-thirds (67.7 percent) of the new immigrants who arrived in Israel in 2018 came from the former Soviet Union, primarily Russia and Ukraine. Another 9 percent came from the United States, and 8.7 percent were from France.
The number of new immigrants (olim) from Russia in 2018 stood at 10,460, a jump compared to the 7,135 who arrived from Russia the year before. Despite rising anti-Semitism throughout Europe, immigration from France was down, with 2,415 French immigrants arriving in 2018—23.5 percent fewer than in 2017. Immigration from France peaked in 2015, when 6,628 new immigrants from France moved to Israel after a spate of anti-Semitic attacks, especially in Paris.
The number of new immigrants from Asia in 2018 stood at 1,429, an increase of 12.3 percent over 2017. A total of 365 new immigrants arrived in Israel from Africa in 2018, 14.1 percent fewer than in 2017.
Most of the new immigrants who arrived in 2018 opted to settle in larger cities.
According to the CBS data, 11.1 percent settled in Tel Aviv; 9.5 percent in Jerusalem; 8.5 percent in Netanya; and 7.9 percent in Haifa. Another 5 percent moved to Bat Yam, located just south of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, and 5 percent made their homes in Ashdod.
Tel Aviv was the top pick for immigrants from Russia and France, while Jerusalem was preferred by new immigrants from the United States.
The data also took a wider look at immigration since the state was established in 1948. Some 3.3 million olim have moved to Israel since 1948, according to the figures, and of those 47.3 percent have arrived since 1990.

010: Our Crystal Palace Story
Our Crystal Palace Story
For over 80 years, our Crystal Palace was a place of recreation to which the world could offer no parallel. Visitors came from every civilised country to enjoy the famous musical festivals, fireworks displays, bird and dog shows, balloon ascents, football cup finals and dozens of other forms of entertainment. Perhaps no event of any age created more enthusiasm the world over than the international industrial exhibition of 1851, sponsored by Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria. 'Albert the Good' hoped that the exhibition would be a great festival of peace, so he invited all nations to send of their best in art and science.
The Queen gave her consent for a building to be erected in Hyde Park and Joseph Paxton's design was accepted. Paxton, one of England's greatest gardeners, was born of very poor parents. He showed great abilities as a horticulturalist and was appointed by the Duke of Devonshire to manage his vast estate at Chatsworth. Foremost of the wonders which Paxton created for the Duke was a conservatory of iron and glass, to house the Duke's rare tropical water-lilies, the Victoria Regina. It was from the idea of this conservatory that Paxton planned his wonderful glass palace for the 1851 exhibition. It was so successful that several influential people wanted to preserve the building for the public for all time, so the Crystal Palace Company was formed to buy it. One of the directors of the Company was also a director of the Brighton Railway, and he thought it would be a good idea to remove the Palace to a site on the railway, so that visitors could easily reach the exhibition. Accordingly, Penge Place, of 300 acres, on the summit of Sydenham Hill, was chosen as the place to which the Palace would be transferred.
At this time, Norwood was a wild spot, the home of the gipsies and comparatively few besides; Sydenham was a common, celebrated for its mineral springs; and Penge was a vast expanse of woodland in the valley, an outlying hamlet of the parish of Battersea known as Pen's Green. Here and there, there were farmhouses and thatched-roof cottages among the meadows and cornfields, and a few old windmills which added to the picturesque rural scene. Soon this became a hive of industry. The work of conveying the Palace to its chosen site was stupendous, for most of the material was brought by road in huge wagons, drawn by superb cart horses.
The first column of our Palace was erected in August, 1852. Nearly seven thousand workmen were engaged on the building and rough and disorderly scenes became frequent, especially when Army recruiters began to press them to take the Queen's shilling at the start of the Crimean War. When finished, the Palace consisted of a grand central nave, two side aisles, two main galleries, three transepts, and two wings. The length of the main building was 1608 feet and the wings each 574 feet – in all 2756 feet. There was a water tower at each end of the building, each 284 feet in height. Above the floor level, the vast building was entirely constructed of iron and glass. So Sir Joseph Paxton (knighted for his great contribution to the 1851 exhibition) inaugurated the modern prefabricated style of iron and glass building, noted for its great strength, its light and elegant appearance and its durability. In the wings of the Palace were constructed the ten courts, each filled with the most beautiful and curious objects belonging to the country or the period after which it was named. From the Egyptian Court to Greece, from Greece to Rome, from Rome to Spain and its beautiful Alhambra, with its gold-fretted roof and its memories of the Moors. Most impressive of all was the Egyptian Court, containing giant statues, 65 feet high, of King Rameses the Great, who reigned 2000 years before our history began.
Sir Joseph Paxton, as director of the Winter Garden, Park and Conservatory, with his great skill turned the grounds into one of the principal attractions for the general public. The upper part was arranged in two terraces (one of them was made into an Italian garden) and beyond these were the great basins; the lake for fishing and rowing; cricket and archery grounds; a maze; and an open-air gymnasium. Finally, in one corner of the grounds (and still to be seen) were life-sized replicas of the monsters which lived on earth hundreds of thousands of years ago. The magnificent system of fountains was one of the most stupendous the world has every seen: the great circular one in the centre walk, the water temples forming a series of cascades rushing to form a grant cataract, using 12,000 jets and throwing 120,000 gallons of water a minute.
Unhappily, the financial side of the Crystal Palace was not very satisfactory, especially after a fire in 1866 in which the North End, including the tropical department, the North transept and 15 of the collections were destroyed. The shareholders never had a very promising outlook, and by 1911 our Palace was put into the hands of Messrs. Knight, Frank and Rutley to be auctioned. There was such a warmth of feeling in the country for it that it was bought by public subscription. During the First World War it was used by the Royal Navy, and then, after restoration, it was re-opened by King George the Fifth and Queen Mary in 1920. Late in the evening of November 30th, 1936, a fire broke out which completely gutted the great building within an hour or so. The flames could be seen from thirty miles away.
Remembering that our Palace was opened in 1854, before the days of general education, we realise what its magnitude and resources offered for the instruction and amusement of the many thousands who thronged there.

In connection with the late visit of the Police Commission to Gatton, the special reporter of the "'Queensland Times," �who was present on the occasion, writes: The commissioners remarked that they were very glad indeed that they had been afforded an opportunity of visiting the spot, as they got an altogether different impression of the place and its environments from that which they had previously formed. Moreover, they added that it was absurd to talk of one man keeping a crowd of people off the ground at time when, such an awful discovery was made. "Why," said Mr. Garvin, "I question whether a score of armed policemen, could have succeeded in doing so."

Superstar Rajnikanth's Kochadaiyan to clash with Kamal Hassan's Vishwaroopam
Superstar Rajnikanth's forthcoming magnum opus Kochadaiyan is likely to be postponed, as the post-production works are taking more time than expected. Now, the movie is expected to hit the screens for Pongal, which means it would clash with Kamal Hassan's Vishwaroopam.
The buzz says that Kochadaiyan was supposed to release on December 12, but the makers are busy with the production works. They are not keen on wrapping up the film in a hurry, as it is a mega-budget movie. Hence, it appears like the flick, in all probabilities, will be postponed for Pongal which may lead to a rare clash.
Recently, it was revealed that Vishwaroopam would release for Pongal. However, the Kamal Hassan starrer movie is almost ready and in order to avoid this clash, the makers of Vishwaroopam might release it early, claims the buzz.
Rajnikanth's Kochadaiyan is a mega-budget film directed by his daughter Soundarya R. Ashwin. It features Deepika Padukone, Jackie Shroff, Sarathkumar, Shobana, Aadhi and others in the cast. It is a period film that is inspired by Pandya king Kochadaiyan Ranadheeran and it is a fictional account of the ruler.
On the other end, Vishwaroopam is a spy-thriller starring Kamal Hassan, Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Rahul Bose and others in the cast. In addition to writing the story, screenplay and dialogues, Kamal has taken the responsibility of directing the movie.

Vishwaroopam and Kochadayan even though released on same date, I think that Kochadayan having the upper hand because of story content (written by Ravikumar) and Super Star Rajini's realistic acting will make it a super hit. But Kamalhasan on the other hand, will try to confuse the public, and he is acting only to satisfy his fans. Rajini is the mass hero just because he tries to satisfy even other fans like Sarathkumar Fans, Sivaji Ganesan's Fans, MGR Fans and others, on the other hand, Kamalhasan trying to satisfy only his fans, and his films having confused story line ups and will create headaches for common man, except his fans.
