Our blog has a new home! You can now read about all our latest discoveries at the Tower Project blog
Where is today's Friday feature? you ask. (I hope we've become as indispensable to your Friday mornings as coffee and Friday cake)
Sadly, we've become so popular that WordPress has added adverts to our site, which isn't a look that we're keen on. We could get an upgrade, but we've decided to move the blog to the tender care of the University Library domain instead. Please be patient for a week while we get ourselves organised: updates will appear on this blog so please please don't forget us! We would really miss you!

It's that time of year again, spring is nearly sprung, and we are beginning to feel a change in the air, that breath of optimism, inspiring us to look ahead to new beginnings, sloughing off the torpid despond of the dark winter months, well, something like that, anyway. The other day I picked up a book to catalogue and realised I'd found the very volume I needed to galvanise me into a seasonal surge of energy, written by George H. Knox, founder of the wonderfully named Knox Institute of Individual Efficiency.
We tend to forget that all those self-improvement books that dominate our bookshops, enjoining us to diet, get fit, practise meditation, improve our memories, be successful and generally stop being so pathetic, are part of a trend that started in the 19th century with Samuel Smiles' book "Self-help," published by John Murray in 1859. By 1904, the year of his death, Smiles' book had sold over a quarter of a million copies. We all know its opening line:
"Heaven helps those who help themselves."
Smiles' emphasis was on the education and improvement of ordinary working people, and the importance of character as a driving force to success. This tells us something about the cultural context in which Smiles wrote, and the impact of his upbringing, influenced as it was by many and various radical people and beliefs, including the Cameronians, the Anti-Burghers, Calvinism and Unitarianism. In a speech to a Mutual Improvement Society in Leeds in 1845, entitled "The education of the working classes," he said:
"Every human being has a great mission to perform, noble faculties to cultivate, a vast destiny to accomplish. He should have the means of education, and of exerting freely all the powers of his godlike nature."
My book by George H. Knox, entitled "The new education," was published in 1920 in Los Angeles, California, and there is a definite change in tone from that of the Victorian self-help literature that preceded it. Knox's book bears the hallmark of an unfailing faith in human progress:
"The history of the world is the history of man's progress from ignorance, fear, poverty and despair to the dawn of a new civilization."
He proclaims:
"It is everyone's privilege as well as duty to live in the sunlight of Twentieth Century achievement."
Knox's use of "Twentieth Century" (capitalised for emphasis)as a positive value makes clear his intention that readers must break free from the oppressive confines of the 19th century and forge ahead into the bright new future of the 20th century, where possibilities and self-realisation are readily attainable.
There are slogans scattered all over the covers of the book: "You can if you will," "Business Leadership," Personal Power," " Twentieth Century Ability," "Inefficiency is the most expensive thing in the world."
Much of the typeface in "The new education" is capitalised and in bold, paragraphs have headings such as "Any man can be superior," "No patent on progress," and "No limit." This book is bursting with boundless optimism and snappy aphorisms:
"Man is worth three dollars a day from his chin down, but he may be worth a thousand dollars a day from his chin up."
"Turn on the switch. Start the machinery of the mind. Do a little prospecting."
And my personal favourite:
"Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!"
Knox's main argument is that most of us seriously under-use our brain capacity:
"It is said that the great American desert is not located in New Mexico, and Arizona, but under the average man's hat."
His imagery is drawn from the New World: ranches in Cripple Creek, rolling hills in South Africa, boulders in Australia filled with hidden gold, likening the potential of the human brain to undiscovered terrain rich in natural resources:
"The desert of the mind is a Paradise of possibilities."
This gives us a sense of expanding horizons and the merit of hard work and determination, that pioneering, can-do spirit that helped settlers carve out a life for themselves in exacting circumstances.
I soon realised though that "The new education," while full of pithy maxims and sweeping statements, wasn't actually going to tell me how to increase my brain capacity, and that in order to do so you had to join a course (advertised at the back of the book) at the Knox Institute of Individual Efficiency for proper training:
"The Knox Institute of Individual Efficiency is helping men and women to find their gold mine."
and as far as I am aware, this laudable institution no longer exists.
After a while, I did start to feel a trifle inadequate and, quite simply, tired, after reading all these exhortations, so I leave it to you to ponder whether you are using your brain capacity to its fullest potential as you read George H. Knox's inspiring (or hectoring, according to your temperament) prose:
"What have you to offer? Are you offering your best, your next best, or your worst? Are you really wanted on your job or suffered to stay? Could the firm get along just as well without you? Would your resignation make a hole in the concern hard to fill; or are there twenty men ready to fill it just as well as you can?"

A family of phrenologists
When we think of seaside promenade attractions, such as fortune-telling, palm-reading and so forth, we tend to imagine stripey booths and bead curtains. I've recently been cataloguing a series of pamphlets written and published by the Ellis family, who advertised themselves as phrenologists and publishers (but who dabbled in a great deal more than that), and had impressive premises on the promenade in Blackpool.
The Ellis family establishment
Note the heads either side of the word "Phrenologists" above the door, and the slogan "Advice On Health" on the roof, between two particularly striking hands, palms facing outwards, in front of the chimneypots. Clearly the Ellis family, Ida, Albert and Frank, were successful enough to operate from a solid building rather than a beach hut. The 1911 census records that Albert and Ida Ellis (husband and wife), Frank Ellis (brother) and Annie Edwards (domestic servant) occupied a house with 11 rooms, not counting, as instructed on the census form, "scullery, landing, lobby, closet, bathroom, nor warehouse, office, shop." Looking at the illustration of their promenade premises (81/82 Central Beach, Blackpool) it is likely that the consulting rooms were on the ground floor and they lived in 11 rooms above on two further floors – quite an establishment. Albert originated from Canterbury, and Ida from Suffolk, but when they first arrived in Blackpool I could not discover. Blackpool, as a popular seaside resort, offered excellent opportunities for a business such as theirs. Albert and Ida were 42 and 43 respectively at the time of this census, and had been married for 21 years. All three Ellises give their occupation as Palmist/Phrenologist and record that they work "at home."
Each family member specialised in their own particular skill: Frank in physiognomy, Albert in graphology and phrenology, Ida in palmistry, crystal gazing, automatic writing and psychometry. When customers consulted the Ellis family they would receive a booklet described as a "chart," published by the Ellises themselves, packed full of information, with blank spaces in which a personal reading would be inscribed, with appropriate advice.
Even babies could be taken to a consultation and have their own chart filled in with their potential characteristics, personality, skills and so forth.
Each chart has an index to character, so that after the initial phrenological consultation, the relevant Ellis, presumably Albert in this case, would mark in pencil numbers listed in a sort of tabular key at the front of the booklet, which the customer then relates to the characteristics correspondingly numbered in the following pages. After that there are pages with blank spaces in which the Ellises would write customised advice (for an extra fee) on your health, occupation, relationships and so forth, even describing "persons likely to prove enemies." On a page headed "Summary of mental powers" the seven options provided include "You have inherited a very inferior nature, and will not think for yourself. You are low and vulgar in your habits."
I can't help thinking that anyone diagnosed in this category would feel pretty hard done by, parting with ready cash only to be told they were vulgar and inferior. The Ellis family obviously didn't pull their punches; perhaps such brutal truths bestowed an air of authenticity on their readings.
The Ellises knew that they had to keep clients coming back for more. In their "Advice worth following" on p. 23 of "Stepping stones to success" they explain:
"We would like you to consult us every year, because science is advancing so quickly that we are continually adding new features to our book. This enables our clients to obtain the latest information about themselves we can give, and also an opportunity to compare one chart with another, and thereby see what improvement has been made."
Good idea to let your clients know that you keep up with the latest research in your field, there's nothing so reassuring as a commitment to professional development in health practitioners.
In the lists of their books for sale at the end of their pamphlets, I noticed that the Ellises had initials (F.B.I.M.S.) after their names, which my research tells me stood for Fellow of the British Institute of Mental Science (and before you ask, no, my researches have not succeeded in tracking that particular institution down.) The Ellises are careful to qualify their claims to scientific authenticity in "Notice to clients" at the beginning of "Palmistry chart" with an ingenious explanation of why a client's life may not unfold as read in their palm:
"It must be thoroughly understood that palmistry does not teach that things must absolutely occur, but that they possibly may unless steps are taken to hinder their occurrence. Thus it will be seen that if a voyage is marked on the hands, and efforts are made to hinder such an event, the mind will gradually register on the hands that the voyage was hindered, or the sign may fade away; whereas if events had taken their ordinary course the voyuage would have been undertaken."
In other words, anything could happen.
The allusion to science is a canny ploy by the Ellis family – phrenology occupied a curious position in the public imagination during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, peddled on the one hand by fairground quacks, while being the subject of genuine academic research by respected thinkers on the other. Significant British phrenologists included the Scottish brothers George and Andrew Combe, who established the Phrenological Society of Edinburgh in 1820. This group included such well-respected luminaries as the publisher/author Robert Chambers, the astronomer John Pringle Nichol, the botanist Hewett Cottrell Watson and psychiatrist and asylum reformer William A.F. Browne (who took part in debates at the Plinian Society, of which Charles Darwin was a member). However, phrenology enjoyed a chequered career as a serious academic discipline, was rejected by the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and was eventually designated a pseudoscience.
We may scoff at the Ellis family's methods, but aren't they just cashing in on that enduring human need – to be listened to? Clients could enjoy the time and undivided attention of Albert, Ida or Frank at a consultation. What, after all, are psychiatrists and counsellors, if not people who will listen and dispense advice, for a price? And a much higher price than the Ellis family's fees. Perhaps we should see the Ellis family as the poor man's psychoanalysts, the working class alternative to the psychiatrist's couch?People then, as now, were hungry for the promise of self-improvement, success, personal happiness. and fulfilment.
As for Albert, Ida and Frank, the bumps on their heads would surely have denoted sharp business brains. It feels a bit like booking with a certain budget airline, reading Ellis family booklets – you're forever coming across extra charges.
"If at any time you require a more complete guide to success, you should send this book by post to the address on the cover, and enclose ten shillings."
"We shall be pleased to fill up any portions of this book at any time from your photo or handwriting or impressions of hands. Our fee for doing so through the post is one shilling for each part."
"Palmistry by post or by personal interview. If by post it is necessary for the client first to send 6d. for a bottle of Transferine, a liquid composition for the purpose of making impressions of hands. Fees according to length and detail of description."
I can't help wondering what the ingredients of Transferine were. No doubt the entrepreneurial Ellises concocted it themselves in a back room of their headquarters.
The Ellises were careful to preserve their intellectual property, too. On the first page of all their publications is the following warning:
"This chart is copyright, and legal proceedings will be taken against any person or persons who publish any portion of it without the written consent of the publishers, who have obtained an injunction and costs against a character reader who infringed the copyright of one of their charts."
In other words, look out, any other "mental scientists" out there, and make sure you don't impinge on the Ellis family turf.

The Birthday Book of Fate
Posted by Tower Project in Fortune-telling, Friday feature, Uncategorized
As it's now December and 2011 will soon be drawing to a close, many people will start to think about resolutions and aspirations for the year to come. But if we are to believe the predictions of Mrs Cecil Crofts in her book The Birthday Book of Fate (class mark 1916.6.266) then we may as well forget about any good intentions we may have, as Mrs Crofts asserts that our fate is decided by our birthday. And her fortune-telling motto seems to have been: you have to be cruel to be kind.
We have all kinds of fortune-telling books in the Tower collection, but this one in particular captured our attention for its dramatic boldness and lack of positive spin as is popular in modern fortune telling, where we are always told that great things will happen to us. In the Tower Project office some of us were left quite perturbed by our predicted fate, whilst others could sit back and take it easy as Mrs Croft had predicted wonderful things for them! As we read each other's fortune aloud there were a few gasps of dismay when we heard what was in store for us, not to mention quite a few laughs.
In the book the fortune for each birthday begins with an overarching symbol for that day, from which Mrs Crofts then elucidates further in the longer description below. This symbol supposedly describes the characteristics of the day of those born under it. These symbols in themselves are extremely bizarre. I quite like mine, which is "A party of men dining sumptuously" – I like to think that bodes well for a good fortune (how wrong I would be). Whilst a Tower Project colleague's is "A man caning the hand of a boy." She was not impressed. If you were born on December 5 it doesn't look too promising either: "A man beating his head against a closed door", and June 7 has to be the weirdest symbol: "A man shaving a poodle". What can you make of that? These cryptic symbols had us in stitches, and we were impatient to find out more about our destiny …
Fond of breaking bad news, an ominous looking Mrs Crofts
The full description of one's fate proved just as intriguing. Apparently I lead "a very irregular life, in private such a one will be a "law unto himself"" and "would succeed best in a foreign land". That really made my day. A colleague was similarly disappointed with their fortune, although it does describe their job role of cataloguing books rather accurately: "You will only excel in copying or perfecting the work, views, ideas, or dress of others." Although none of us took the predictions particularly seriously, they do crop up in conversation from time to time, so we haven't quite forgotten them. And at least if things start to look a bit rough I could always go and try my luck in a foreign land.
A selection of entries (apologies if your birthday falls on any of these dates!)
Are those born on March 23 destined to a life of loneliness?
Dare to dream? You probably shouldn't.
Oh dear, would you even want to know if this were your fate?
This book really is worth a look, and we all amused ourselves looking up family and loved ones' fates. I certainly intend to spoil a few friends' Christmases by writing their fortune in their Christmas card!
The war at home: telling the children
≈ Comments Off on The war at home: telling the children
What information was given to children at the time of the first world war? The world had changed. "We see khaki everywhere now, because we are at war" explains the author of "The army told to the children." (classmark 1916.6.20) No space is given to discussing the causes of the war, the book simply describes how the army works and what it does. The book's presentation makes it clear that the book is aimed at older children. It has a text-book like clarity and focuses on the practical. The photographs are the highlight of the book for me: the trenches are shown in detail but in their newly dug, tidy state. The text coolly explains what needs to be done. Soldiers need trenches so that they can shoot at the enemy without being seen themselves. Emergency 'shelter' trenches, less than a foot deep with a low ridge of earth at the front, could be dug in half an hour. But each day the army stays in one place, the trenches are improved, deepened so that men can stand upright. Sandbags are used to create a barrier at the front of the trench through which the soldiers can fire. "In the present war hundreds of miles of these trenches have been made, with tunnels between them so that men can move about under cover."
I can imagine that in war-time even children became theroretical experts about fighting battles, that some child would confidently repeat to others that "There's danger from shells and bullets, but shells are really not so dangerous because it is difficult to judge the range and take a good shot".
However, some of the descriptions are more graphic than I would judge suitable for children "men crouching behind a bank of earth, with showers of shrapnel bullets crashing down upon them, and high explosive shells bursting in and around the bank in front, blowing men to pieces, smothering all the front in clouds of smoke and dust and flying fragments …"
So, not suitable for children but a brilliant explanation of how the war was fought – how it was fed, supplied and armed. For most children the war was seen chiefly through fiction – to be covered next week …
If you go down to the woods today
Posted by Tower Project in Friday feature, Uncategorized
≈ Comments Off on If you go down to the woods today
In August 1913 Joseph Knowles, a 45 year old former hunting guide, went alone, nearly naked, and without tools or supplies, into the woods of northern Maine. He emerged 61 days later, leaner and fitter, clad in a bearskin.
The expedition was sponsored by the Boston Globe. Knowles wrote accounts of his stay on birchbark, and left them in caches for a reporter. The stories proved very popular, the circulation of the Globe reportedly rose by 30,000, and a massive crowd greeted Knowles on his return to Boston. He later published a full account of his adventure Alone in the wilderness – which was a best seller on both sides of the Atlantic. He also featured in two motion pictures, which sadly don't seem to have survived.
The book is a curious mixture of action and reflection. There are detailed descriptions of him trapping and killing animals with his bare hands, and also long passages on the joys of outdoor living, and the mental agonies that he suffered during his stay.
There is a good deal in the book about the government's attitude to the wilderness, particularly the game laws. The State authorities had refused to issue him with a hunting permit for the expedition, and fined him $205 on his return for taking game out of season.
Knowles was given a full medical before and after his expedition, and the results are shown below, comparing him to the famous strongman Eugen Sandow, who was featured in this blog last year. Knowles lost 11 pounds (about 5 kilos) in weight, and increased his lung capacity by almost 20%. According to his doctor, although he could not match Sandow's strength, he "had the staying powers of three Sandows".
As with modern survival experts, there were many anxious to prove that Knowles was a fraud. A rival newspaper, the Boston American, owned by William Randolph Hearst, claimed that he had access to a cabin and was provided with food and clothing. Knowles naturally denied the allegations, and proposed a second trip, where he would allow a dozen "representative men" to accompany and observe him. He also proposed the establishment of a colony of men and women interested in the outdoor movement. The colony would acquire thousands of acres of land, and open a College of Nature to provide training in woodcraft.
Was Knowles a fake? Some of the events in the book are not entirely convincing, but there is no doubt that many were inspired by his actions, and became interested in the outdoor life.
A modern reprint of Alone in the wilderness is available from all good booksellers, as is a recent biography of Knowles, Naked in the woods : Joseph Knowles and the legacy of frontier fakery by Jim Motavalli.
For truth's sake!
One of the challenges of our job on the Tower Project is to find the Library of Congress subject heading that best expresses what a particular book is about. On the whole this is enjoyable and instructive. Some books make it easy, others require considerable pondering before that "mot juste" springs to mind.
When I plucked a pamphlet entitled "An exposition of the polypantoglyphograph" by Thomas Tyldesley from my trolley, I thought "Hmmm, this is obviously about something of which I know nothing, what an opportunity to learn something new" – well, something along those lines, anyway. Now I pride myself on my grasp of the English language, I consider myself moderately well read, and will tackle pieces of literature that require more than a passing moment's concentration, but after scanning a few pages of Mr. Tyldesley's publication I began to feel confused. I flicked through looking for fresh paragraphs to attempt, each time failing to grasp the meaning of the text before me:
"M– An eMbleM of coM-Munication by analogy between the OWL(e)'s and Man's Sense of household habits, and the whole WORLD'S Light by coM-Munion from SOPH-I-VAU with his dog (re dog and GOD, in series 5), and the love of Man through All the dead-men's skulls to THOX-I-TAU, and the workings of that LeVER and fulcrum … "
The Thox-Orient exposition of this polypantoglyphograph, to cognise the language of nature.
By the time I'd worked my way through that paragraph I had a headache.
I did a quick search on the author's name and chased up other publications of his in the hope of clarifying my thoughts. I retrieved a number of pamphlets, all self-published, in a series entitled "For truth's sake." After failing to grapple with "Ex-shæphoenominology, or, The science of letters" I started to browse "The ressus(c)itation of the revælation and 'natural' meanings of letters, which were sought by Plato and his compeers," but got a bit bogged down, to be honest. Determined not to be beaten, I decided to tackle "The original meaning of K" but fell at the first hurdle with:
"All abstracts of thought have tails, and, like comets, the quicker they move the longer their tails become; and I fear that the majority of all classes of our literati, from the lorey occupant of the professor's chair to the standard-fixed multitudes in our common schools (the latter being battered by strifeful contending Ismst, and fettered by the circumfused fickle curriculum of a co-deified power, emanating from a consanguineous body of clannish richly-paid officials) are more attracted to the tail (tales and stories) than to the body – substance – nucleus – root – ORI, not pri-ORI."
Now I was beginning to feel decidedly cross. It is hard to explain the sensation of reading something in your own language and not having a clue as to its meaning – vexatious, perhaps? Mr. Tyldesley obviously enjoyed language, and I have managed to glean from his ramblings that he believed the shape of letters to be crucial to their meaning, which explains his predilection for peppering his prose with capital letters and symbols:
And to be fair, I did learn something new. In my ignorance I had never heard of the Sator Square, which is a satisfying palindrome of ancient origin and various interpretations, suitably obscure for Thomas Tyldesley, but a genuine phenomenon in the real world:
His overarching obsession was a mystical interpretation of the alphabet, upon which he built a complex, and frankly baffling, theory of language, which I am sorry to say I have failed to get to grips with. I'm obviously not alone in my bewilderment, as he frequently complains of having his articles and letters rejected by the various papers to which he sent them, and even quotes a baffled individual to whom he had shown his work: "Put your books in our language, and then we can understand you." Undeterred, Mr. Tyldesley continued his pursuit of the truth with zeal:
"The rejection of newspaper editors to publish my letters on this subject … constrains me to publish this additional paper; although great and severe has been my financial loss up to the present …"
He claims to have left school at 6½ "to wind bobbins and learn to weave," in which case perhaps he belongs to that admirable tradition of the autodidact. It would be interesting to know where he gained access to the information he used in his pamphlets, what, or who, set him on his path of discovery. I got the feeling, as I struggled to interpret his convoluted prose, that his mind was teeming to bursting point with arcane occult concepts, hieroglyphs, symbols and quasi-religious concepts, but however eccentric or bizarre we may think him, Thomas Tyldesley was evidently happy inhabiting his peculiar world view:
"The unspeakable joy which I possess is begot of my communion with words true to nature, by inception, conception, and comprehension of her mæanderings and the commingling of forces, within the power of order and design, radiating, refracting, and reflecting each clearer ray of light, by which the knowledge of the celestial and the terrestrial becomes fused into matter, mannas for the mind, through a knowledge of visible form, cosmical movement, and invisible but thinkable shape, the steps to higher planes upon which the sublimity of the mind can solve supernal problems. The reality of this rare and lasting pleasure renders me imperious and impervious to all acrimonious attacks of human ignorance and infelicity, and subdues my loss to the value of dross in the smelting furnace of the soul."
I wish I could say that after grappling with Thomas Tyldesley of Bolton I could agree with Dr. Seuss, who said "I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells." I'm afraid I had to do as the gravedigger in Hamlet advises his baffled companion, who is struggling with a riddle, to do: "Cudgel thy brains no more about it" and assign the best subject headings I could muster, and move on to more mundane, but blessedly comprehensible, works.

Those magnificent men in their flying machines
I recently came across the official programmes for Blackpool Aviation Week 1909 and 1910. The covers were beautiful and the amazing photographs inside reminded me of a cross between crazy birdman events and the red bull air races. Yet despite their dramatic appearance these events were both serious and important in UK aviation history .
The 1909 Blackpool Aviation Week, suggested by Lord Northcliffe, proprietor of the Daily Mail and taken up by Blackpool Corporation, was the first public and 'official' air display in the UK. Doncaster had hoped to run a show concurrently but the 'scarcity of prominent aviators', like the fine gentlemen below, led to the Aero Club (now Royal Aero club) withdrawing its approval for the rival event. Blackpool's show, following the rules of the Federation Aeronautical Internationale and being the sole event verified was now the place to be.
The show was by all accounts a massive success, with over 200,000 paying spectators welcomed. Organisers rushed the grounds ready and booked out whole hotels to put up competing teams. Prizes were funded by the Daily Mail and numerous local companies, and were issued to pilots of monoplanes, bi-planes and tri-planes for achievements in long distance, altitude, carrying of passengers, speed and slowness. A signalling system was worked out for achievements but also for messages such as 'bad start', 'record beaten' or 'machine has fallen, aviator unhurt' nothing for 'aviator hurt' I noticed.
Amongst the competitors was one of the biggest names in aviation at the time. Sir Alliott Verdon-Roe, a Manchester man who claimed to be the first Englishman to make a powered flight (June 1908) attended. Though his attempt to be first to fly the course was scuppered by his machine failing to leave the ground and instead this glory was snatched up by Frenchman Henri Farman. Other competitors included M.M. Rougier, Dufour, Defiers, Baratoux and more. Click here for some great pictures of Sir Alliott Verdon-Roe at the aviation week.
A second carnival was held in 1910. Rules were tightened: passing on the inside was not allowed, nor interfering with others flight courses, a great development I would have thought. Pilot's certificates were also required by all competitors this time! Obviously not a system firmly in place at this time, especially if amateur aviators were only learning to fly when they bought their first plane as the advert below suggests.
In 1911 the competitions ended for the site had become a race course. During the 1st World War it housed a convalescence home for soldiers. Yet in 1919 it's aviation history caught up with it as A.V. Roe's company began to fly from it again and in 1927 the site was recommended for the Blackpool Municipal Aerodrome. It has since become Blackpool International. The annual air shows held there now are certainly smoother, as display teams such as the Red Arrows do their thing. Still, I don't believe that our modern shows can detract from past events, which though appearing shambolic, were in a way even more spectacular for their technological achievements of the time.
For movies of the 1909 show try the British Pathe.

The increasing requirements for improved reliability of electrical power devices and optimisation of dielectric insulation design means that the analysis of impact due to overvoltages is of high importance. This analysis should also consider propagation of overvoltages transferred through power transformer windings to other parts of the electrical network. Hazard levels of overvoltages affected the insulation systems of electrical devices are determined by wave propagation conditions of overvoltages as well as the protection level of applied overvoltages protection. The analysis of overvoltages transferred to low voltage networks is very important due to the increasing number of electrical devices and electronic apparatus with low resistance to overvoltages. This study presents a detailed analysis of the propagation of overvoltages transferred through distribution transformer windings, in typical medium and low-voltage electrical networks. The analysis is based on simulation results carried out by the use of electromagnetic transients program–alternative transients program (EMTP–ATP). A high-frequency model for transformers done on the basis of frequency characteristics of admittance measurements was used in simulations. Detailed analysis of influence of length of medium- and low-voltage lines connected to the distribution transformers and metal oxide surge arresters on switching overvoltages transferred to low-voltage networks are presented in the study.


What is OpenFSI and how can it be used?
OpenFSI is the MSC Nastran SDK base architecture to build your own interface to any fluid-type loading of the structural mesh. It enables existing coupling to CFD codes via MpCCI code coupler, or specific CFD vendors who have built an interface to it. Alternatively it can be used to connect to custom user loading, such as a formula or look-up table.
Essentially it is a user subroutine for loading, but which was specifically tailored around fluid loading applications.
An example is shown below that highlights the added insight that a fluid-structure interaction analysis can give the engineer.
The simplified vehicle shape and CFD domain can be seen in the video below. The airflow is accelerated from 0 to 100km/h in 4 seconds and then from 100 to 200km/h the remaining 6 seconds, for a total duration of 10 seconds.
The structural analysis part consisted only of the rear spoiler and flexible attachment, with appropriate boundary conditions (rotations free, but translation fixed).
The interaction surface between the FEA and CFD side was identified as the outer skin of the rear spoiler itself.
Looking closer at the rear spoiler, the interaction between the airflow and deformation/displacement of the spoiler can be clearly seen.
The effect of this flexibility provided an interesting comparison between a fixed spoiler, one that is slightly flexible and the result above that is highly flexible. For both the drag and lift coefficient, the highly flex spoiler seems to be performing ideally, as the drag is lowered, while the downforce increases as the vehicle velocity increases.
It is best to set up your own build environment and then create your custom services there as well to point Nastran to use these services.
The Apps directory has all the compiled libraries (.dll) and service name lists to use in the Nastran input.
Now your environment is all good to go and you can start building your own code to run automatically with MSC Nastran.
The benefit of this setup is that by just replacing the build_root\src with other source codes and building again, each build libraries are added to the build_root\Apps and appended to the SCAServiceCatalog.xml catalogue. Therefore multiple services can be created and stored in a single environment with just the Nastran input file pointing to the appropriate service to use.
echo "**** NASTRAN SDK ENVIRONMENT ****"
echo " do in src dir"
echo " copy idl file from \solver\sdk\idl\SCA\MDSolver\..."
echo " copy sdl file from \solver\nast\services\Implementations\..."
echo " do in home dir"
This must then be launched from the build_root\ directory and will compile and build the dll libraries and service catalogs etc as shown above. Some runtime c++ errors might occur, but can be ignored.
So this is pretty much the business end of the code.
Furthermore, the spatial location of the nodes can be identified (wettedNodeCoordinates) and used as input to loading calculation. At the end of the step, the resulting displacement (wettedNodeDisplacements) and velocities (wettedNodeVelocities) can be retrieved and passed on so that this can be used for CFD mesh updates etc.
An example with a Nastran demo of a flat plate with the example OpenFSI load of a sinusoidal load can be downloaded below - it uses the example code that needs to be built as shown above. In all OpenFSI analyses, it is important to output Nastran Applied loads to see the fluid loading as generated by the code.

We want to see more renewable energy in our community and we want to see it sooner rather than later.
We believe that by driving the allocation of capital into a community-owned solar power project such as this one, we can make a real change.
Sydney Renewable's Project is a rooftop installation at the redeveloped International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) site in Darling Harbour, Sydney.
We financed a 520kW solar photovoltaic installation on the rooftop of ICC Sydney, which will generate enough energy to power more than 100 houses. Following installation in mid 2016, first power was generated in December 2016, which enabled the first invoice to be issued in January 2017.
The local community was given the opportunity to invest in this project. An offer of shares in SRPC was made under an Offer Information Statement dated 31 October 2016, a copy of which is available here. Shares in SRPC are unlisted, but still tradeable between individuals. Those interested in buying or selling their Shares will need to connect with each other directly, and may use the SRPC Facebook page as a place to post their interest.
Sydney Renewable Power Company is an unlisted public company limited by shares.
Board members volunteer their time to Sydney Renewable Power Company. We're all proud Sydneysiders, vigorous advocates of renewable energy, and passionate about the power of local people to come together to make innovative things happen.

This month we spoke to Racha Dabliz. Racha is currently working as a Mental Health Pharmacist. Her research focuses on the evaluation of an Electronic Medication Management system implemented in the Intensive Care Unit in a NSW tertiary hospital. Racha won the Health Informatics Researcher Scholarship award at the Sydney Innovation and Research Symposium 2018.
I have a Bachelor of Pharmacy and a Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice from the University of Sydney. I have been practicing as a hospital Pharmacist for 3.5years and am currently working as a Mental Health Pharmacist. During this time, I have been in several projects that evaluate the quality use of medicines. Most recently, I was involved in a project that involved the development of a Local Health District framework that outlined a strategic approach to optimise an Electronic Medication Management System (eMMS) for reports that address and support the quality use of medicines. This sparked my interest in the optimisation of eMMS in the hospital environment. I am passionate about the optimisation of Electronic Medication Management Systems to ensure safe practices and the quality use of medicines.
My research focuses on the evaluation of an Electronic Medication Management system implemented in the Intensive Care Unit in a NSW tertiary hospital. Electronic medication management systems (eMMS) are heralded as highly effective interventions to reduce medication errors and improve acceptability and usability, yet internationally evidence for their effectiveness is mixed. Critical care is a data-rich environment where it appears obvious that computing technology would be of benefit in managing the large amount of data generated by each patient , however few studies have formally evaluated the effects of introducing an information system into the ICU. The aim of my current research is to determine whether the implementation of an eMMS is safe, efficient, usable and sustainable.
NSW, Australia are rolling out Electronic Medication Management system across the state. This study will investigate whether the implementation of an eMM in the Intensive Care Unit will improve medication safety, and is usable and sustainable. The usability of eMMs is one of the key factors determining their benefits and weaknesses, however, no tailored instrument exists to measure the usability of such systems This study will assess the use of a multi-method evaluation methodology that can be used to evaluate eMMs.
Digital Health means maximising the availability of rich patient data and interconnecting the heath system to optimise patient care. It aids the multi-disciplinaries that are involved in patient care within the hospital environment and beyond. Digitisation supports access and the continuity of care for healthcare professionals and patients across the healthcare spectrum. The innovation process for digital health is an iterative cycle of digital solutions in clinical practice requiring continuous evaluation and optimisation.
A very big thank you to Racha for being our February feature!

DEEWEE, uitgesproken als 'Diewie', is een Belgische platenmaatschappij, opgestart in 2015 door David en Stephen Dewaele van de band Soulwax. Hun opnamestudio bevindt zich in Gent.

Geschiedenis
De broers Dewaele kregen in de jaren 2000 bekendheid als 2manydjs. In 2013 gaven ze opdracht voor de bouw van een opnamestudio op een voormalig parkeerterrein aan de Kruideniersstraat in Gent. Het pand, 'een geruite blokkendoos' die diverse functies vervult, werd in 2015 de thuisbasis voor hun nieuwe label Deewee en biedt onderdak aan hun tienduizenden vinylplaten. Omdat het pand de bijnaam Deewee001 heeft, werd de eerste plaat Deewee002. Het gebouw is ontworpen door Glenn Sestig en werd in 2021 besproken in het Engelse architectuurblad Dezeen.

In september 2015 brachten de broers het eerste werk van het label uit: de single Drie/Twee van het project Klanken. In mei 2021 vierde het label zijn vijftigste werk met een compilatiealbum.

Pet Sematary review – A Horrifying Chiller
April 3, 2019 July 25, 2019 Categories FilmLeave a Comment on Pet Sematary review – A Horrifying Chiller
The latest Stephen King film has arrived, in the form of a remake of the 1983 'Pet Sematary'. It is brought to life by directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, written by Jeff Buhler about the strange goings on around the 'pet sematary' (which is misspelt, emphasising the childish nature) and this remake proves to be a rather nasty shockfest that delivers bone-tingling chills and scares.
Beginning with an enigmatic shot that acts as both foreshadowing and a bit of a poetic device, atmosphere is created from the very start. The building of the atmospheric feel is a crucial part of what makes Pet Sematary work, as the chill factor rises it is the feel of what surrounds that builds tension and suspense.
Dr. Louis Creed (Jason Clarke) and his wife, Rachel (Amy Seimetz), relocate from Boston to rural Maine with their children. On arrival they discover a mysterious burial ground hidden in the woods near their new home. A 'Pet Semtary' for the town's dead pets. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his neighbour Jud (John Lithgow), setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unspeakable evil with horrific consequences.
As a remake of the classic 1989 film, Pet Sematary is a worthy telling that evokes terror and fear successfully. However it isn't free of some cliched tropes of horror: burial grounds, The Shining-like car-journey and many jump scares. But it utilises these supposed cliches to develop and create an atmosphere that is bone-chillingly eerie and tease and it really works.
The film nicely develops the family and their move, implanting subtle clues that help further the narrative until we get to the shocking revelation that had many of us cursing aloud in the cinema. It is full of nasty bursts of violence, at points evoking 'The Exorcist' and 'The Shining' in terms of the children. It is the daughter (as it was spoiled in the marketing) that truly gets under your skin, at the point of her resurrection. The "mummy" lines that evoke innocence helps put you on edge as you can feel the sinister atmosphere build.
'Pet Sematary' gets under your skin and tickles your spine, utilising horror tropes to build an effective film. It is all about the build of atmosphere which sparks scenes of horror and sheer unnerving-tension.
PET SEMATARY IS SET TO BE RELEASED ON APRIL 4TH IN THE UK & US

Liam Leslie: Roger, Flat A27 (Photography)
You the Artist: Care: Free? (Mail Art Project)
1 - 30 June 2021 (LFA 2021)
Velorose reopens after lockdown for the London Festival of Architecture (2021 theme: Care) with an exhibition of photography, and a Mail Art project. Our new 'new normal' means engaging with artists and visitors with whom we've had the pleasure of working and celebrating art over the last four years, and welcoming new people to the gallery
Please note that booking is essential, and visitors are required to wear a face covering (unless exempt) indoors
Liam Leslie, 'Bedroom Shroud' (2019), C-Type Print, 48in x 60in (1219mm x 1524mm)
'The residues of previous residents clung to the interiors'
Douglas Stuart, 'Shuggie Bain', 2020
'Roger, Flat A27', is an exhibition of photography by Liam Leslie, whose debut exhibition 'A Ribbon in Space' was also Velorose's inaugural show in Spring 2017
This series of images captures the traces of life that are so often left behind when a place that has been inhabited is vacated. The photographs allude to one person, and a life lived quite alone in a one-bedroom flat, yet they touch upon the lives of all individuals; they say as much about the artist, and the viewer, as they do about the person who lived for decades in these spaces
Tuesday to Friday 11am - 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 11am - 5pm
A Private View and Midsummer Party on Thursday 24 June (6pm - 9pm) accompanies the exhibition, together with the 'Care: Free?' Mail Art Project inviting responses to the show, and to the LFA 2021 theme of 'Care'
Golden Yogini: Untitled (from the 'Returning to Origin' Envelope) (Postcard Sent to Velorose from London 2020 in response to the theme 'The Power of Black'), Adulterated FUBUNATION 'Ruins' Postcard by Amelia Lancaster (Unique) (Not for Sale)
'Care: Free?' is Velorose's first Mail Art Project of 2021, in which - once again - you are the artist. All works received by post at Velorose will be exhibited online and in the gallery over the course of June 2021
Following on from the success of 2020's various lockdown postcard exhibitions, including 'Windows on the World' for the London Festival of Architecture 2020, we are now inviting submissions on this year's LFA theme of 'Care' and how it, or perhaps the lack thereof, manifests itself in our (built) environment. Is there such a thing as free care; is care free?
In addition / alternatively, postcard submissions may respond to our (gallery and online) exhibition of Liam Leslie's poignant photographs of the traces left by Roger in, and on, the flat he once inhabited
Usual rules apply; for these, and to view and get inspiration from, submissions to previous projects, please visit any or all of our Mail Art projects under 'Exhibitions Past and Future'


Before you take the plunge from dating to marriage, there are a few things that you and that "oh he's so darn cute and sweet—nothing else matters!" guy you're smitten with need to discuss.
One biggie, that every couple needs to have a serious conversation about, is money. Yep, the subject we all want to avoid … but this is one of the top issues that lead to divorce. So a smart girl takes care of business before it ever becomes a problem.
You need to discuss everything before you put on that wedding dress, so don't avoid this subject; jump in. It will be a multi-layered discussion that happens over time, but this conversation will save you from a bunch of difficult ones in the future.
2. Does he have debt?
If he does, you need a plan. Or, if you have debt, he needs to know. There are three ways to handle it. It's paid off before you marry, you put it into your budget, or you have paperwork drawn up that the one who does not hold debt will not be liable. Whatever you decide upon is between the two of you. Just don't avoid it; have the courage to decide!
3. Discuss your financial priorities.
Do you shop sales and does he love expensive cars? Or are you the diamond girl and he wears his underwear until it's merely a waistband and a few tattered pieces of cloth? You can make adjustments for each personality type, but compromise and shared priorities are a must.
Yep, that thing we all hate. You can create it any way you want. Rent, utilities, car payment … you can even have a budget line named Target, Home Depot, or Walmart. Just create a budget that both of you agree upon and that you can meet.
That's a hard one if you're an independent woman, but if you're committed enough to share your life, you should be willing to share your money. Marriage is what we call "the whole meal deal." You get the salad, drink, entrée, and dessert—you're all in. It really works best when you are.
6. Plan for the unexpected.
No matter how much we want to believe life is controllable, it's not. That is true of finances too. Cars break down, job loss happens, illness hits … these all change your financial picture. When you budget, put aside some money so that when the unexpected occurs, you're prepared.
So you're only 25 and retirement looks a lifetime away. It's not. So, add that to your budget, even $25 a month will make a huge difference! The day will come when you will be glad you did.

'Sixty years ago I found myself distracted.' So begins the introduction to As Kingfishers Catch Fire. What follows is the record of the collaboration of pastor and congregation in acts of worship and a life together. What Eugene Peterson, for thirty years pastor of a Maryland church, discovered is that the pastor's life is much more than just the preaching.
It is also made up of attending to the details in all the circumstances and relationships specific to a people and a place – prayers at a hospital bed, conversations with the elderly, small talk on a street corner. This collection of spiritual writings presents Peterson's distinctive approach designed to communicate to his congregation, and the reader, 'the full counsel of God.' Seven sections containing seven teachings, each expertly crafted to stir the biblical imagination. In these teachings, Peterson walks the reader through Scripture to bring fresh insight to familiar names such as Moses, David, Isaiah, Solomon, Peter, Paul, and John of Patmos.

During the week of October 5th, the contractor placed the top slab formwork for the control vault and continued the excavation of the pump station. This week, the contractor will place the reinforcing steel for the control vault top slab over the foundation. The excavation of the pump station continues and is expected to last for approximately three to four weeks. Air monitoring of the site, as directed by the Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP), began on August 27th and continues.
During last week, construction submittals from the contractor continued to be reviewed and processed by NHSA engineers. Relocation of utilities, the storm drain and force main were completed two weeks ago. As indicated above, the contractor has finished the concrete walls for the control vault and is beginning the formwork for the top slab. Work on the excavation for the pump station is underway and will continue this week. The contractor is still waiting for PSE&G approvals to continue preparatory work for the installation of the emergency generator at the NHSA island between Hudson and Washington Streets.
At the suggestion of the HOA, NHSA directed the contractor to place two additional traffic control signs on 11th Street and a "One Way" directional arrow to increase traffic safety and direct the proper flow of traffic. This action was coordinated with the Hoboken Police Department.
There will be sheeting in two locations going forward. At this point, we are not certain of the timing for this activity. For this anticipated sheeting, the contractor will have monitoring for vibration in place.

News of Our Past: Glove leather ends up in Chico as purses
The "Red Devil" was a Southern Pacific diesel-powered passenger car that ran between Stockton, Sacramento and Chico, circa 1910. Photos like this from the John Nopel and Randy Taylor collections can be seen at the Chico History Museum'€™s exhibit, "€œChico Through Time."€ The museum at 141 Salem St. is open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Courtesy of Chico History Museum)

Glove leather ends up in Chico as purses
Brightly colored leather scraps that Italian glove manufacturers throw away are turning up in Chico for a useful purpose.
Local businessman Pete D'Avignon of International Design Marketing Group is importing the scraps to turn into textured wallets and purses for retail sales under the name d'Aye Accessories.
He's using the Work Training Center in Chico to perform work once done off shore.
For weeks, wallets and low-hanging shoulder purses have been turned out by the clients at the nonprofit center, which helps people with disabilities.
D'Avignon expects this to benefit everyone. He doesn't know what the value of the contract will be, but hopes to eventually produce somewhere between 11,000 and 15,000 wallets and purses annually. He also plans to start a circuit of trade shows in February that feature the purses and wallets.
Several retail outlets throughout the county are stocking the four styles of fold-out purses and wallets, which sell from $15 to $35.
The Work Training Center receives shipments of the sheepskin leather fabric, which has been cut into narrow strips, hand-loomed and fashioned into suitably sized swatches at a factory in the Philippines, then exported to Chico. Work Training Center clients assemble the purses and wallets.

Orland Plant Produces Special Travel Tanks
ORLAND — "It's a far cry from fixing watches."
This is what former jewelry store owner Larry Bacon of Orland says of his new undertaking — production of auxiliary gas tanks for pickup trucks and suburban model autos.
In the past three years Bacon has worked to come up with a specially designed travel tank which now is manufactured in Orland and sold singly (20-gallon capacity) and in pairs.
Production of the steel tanks, which fit under a truck forward of the rear wheels, also will begin soon in Canada and Mexico, according to Bacon and Ed Garton, his Orland associate in Travel Accessories, Inc.
Bacon, who sold his Bacon's Jewelry business here four years ago, is president of the corporation's three-man board of directors and Garton, a public accountant, is vice president and secretary. Wim Lely, owner-operator of the Orland Manufacturing Co., is the third board member. R.H. Casement of Denver, Colo., sales manager, will move soon to Chico.
Bacon said 100 of the plastic-lined tanks, listing at $104.50 a pair, are being made a day.
Polio Costs Butte Chapter $4,296
The Butte county chapter for Infantile-Paralysis, which started the year with $2,464 in its fund, has spent $4,296.36 for polio victims throughout the county in the last epidemic, according to figures compiled by C.C. Creech, chapter chairman.
"It was necessary to borrow $3,000 from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis," said Creech, "and at present we are making plans of application for another $3,000 because the Crippled Children's service has advised us there are four children still in the children's Hospital who will be there for many months, and we can't see any end to it yet.
"We are going to put on a drive greater than in the past for the borrowed money must be returned to the foundation in addition to reimbursing the county chapter fund," Creech said.
California was hardest hit in this worst epidemic suffered in the United States in the past 12 years.
— Chico Daily Enterprise, December 10, 1943
Honey Product Of Butte County Can Be Most Valuable
One source of income which appears to be more neglected than any other by the farmers of Butte county is the production of honey. Few seem to realize the value of the honey bee as a pollenizing agent in their orchards, as a money maker, or the delicious honey produced for their own table.
It is a fact appreciated by few that the production of honey in Butte county per colony is as large or larger than that produced in any other part of the United States, 300 pounds per colony being not uncommon. One rancher actually produced from a single colony 240 one-pound sections and 245 pounds of extracted honey. This amount at the present market price is worth $114.13.
Not only was this amount produced by one colony, but this honey was awarded the gold medal at the Panama Pacific Exposition for quality.
No one, provided he obtains good bees and modern hives, can help doing well. It will be admitted by all that any helpers who work for nothing, keep themselves and save for their owner what is now wasted, should at any rate be investigated.

We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly. - Margaret Atwood
We know we have to restore public confidence in the entire process because this anomaly occurred. - Chiara Coletti
We have this curious anomaly where the law in this country has changed in alliance with a treaty which has not yet been accepted by those who we have entered into it with. - Menzies Campbell
We do still think weather was a factor, so it could be a factor this time around. But the important thing about our bid is we've got the advantage of having all the venues in physical proximity of each other. . . . So I think that should overcome any concerns people have about the weather. . . . The ice storm really was an anomaly. - Kim Shreckengost

Part of the Community Arts Space: Art is Change
This workshop will engage with Negarra Kudumu, who views education as a form of curation, and Timothy Yanick Hunter and Esmaa Mohamoud, members of Black Artists' Union. They will discuss and engage with ideas of how to consider forms of learning that are wholly representative and unearth unknown histories into more formal education structures. This workshop, which will delve into an improvisation, will be led by August Fröhls and moderated by Pamila Matharu.
About August Fröhls
The August Fröhls collective (led by artists/curators Aman Sandhu and Swapnaa Tamhane) will invite artists and creative practitioners to engage with local forms of storytelling, teaching, object histories, and music, within a site-specific installation on the plaza inspired by the portable classroom.
For artists/curators August Fröhls (Aman Sandhu and Swapnaa Tamhane), a significant amount of their early education in the Greater Toronto Area (specifically Scarborough and Markham) was spent in portable classrooms. Sandhu and Tamhane explore their speculative hypothesis that the presence of portable classrooms at Canadian schools could be viewed in parallel to the influx of immigrants into the Canadian landscape.
Originally intended as temporary space solutions, portable classrooms eventually became permanent infrastructure, set in place to provide extra room for a population growth that the main buildings could not have anticipated. Propositioning the portable as a space for peripheral pedagogy and histories, August Fröhls will create a site-specific outdoor installation harkening to the recognizable materials of the portable structure, and present a series of events that elicit lesser-known histories. Furthermore, operating from a belief that improvisation is a strong catalyst for the unearthing of third-space, collaged histories, improvisation as related to forms of pedagogy, storytelling, and history of objects will be explored throughout the duration of Portable Stories.
About the Speakers
Residing at the intersection of contemporary art, curation, and critical theory, Negarra A. Kudumu's practice is situated squarely within the domain of cultural production and consumption. She is ever investigating the ways in which these processes are visually and discursively interpreted, with a special interest in the emerging visual culture of the African continent, Iran, South Asia, and their respective diasporas.
Negarra received her BA from Dartmouth College and her MA from Leiden University. She is Manager of Public Programs at the Frye Art Museum.
Esmaa Mohamoud (b. 1992) is an African-Canadian sculptor/installation artist working in Toronto. Her sculptures and installations focus on the navigation of Black bodies in contemporary spaces. Engaged in the politics surrounding Black male bodies in particular, her recent body of work investigated the (in)tangibility of Blackness through the exploration of athletics—specifically, the sport of basketball. With the use of industrial materials, Mohamoud aims to re-examine our contemporary understanding of Blackness and challenge the relationship of blackness as a colour and shade, and Blackness as a societal or cultural construction of a group of people. Mohamoud graduated from Western University's Bachelors of Art program in 2014. In 2016, Mohamoud graduated from the Interdisciplinary Arts, Media, and Design Masters Program at the Ontario College of Art and Design University.
Timothy Yanick Hunter (b.1990) is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada. He is interested in visual arts as language and endeavors to communicate ideas and narratives through aesthetics. He uses his practice as a form of storytelling – his aim is to develop an expansive narrative across mediums; this is motivated by a visceral need to engage with the global community. Hunter graduated from the University of Toronto in 2015, specializing in Art History and English. His practice comprises of painting, collage, installation, and mixed-media works. He considers his approach as [Afro]-futurist, exploring and imagining the possibilities of post-human society.
The Black Artist Union (BAU) assists in the movement and exhibition of artists and creators of the African diaspora. We aim to represent the ideas and work of contemporary black creators. As art being a language to connect with others, this is a platform to help develop skills for navigating and engaging in art spaces.
Black Artist Union Members:
Sylvia Limbana, Aaron Jones, Sydné Barnes, Destiny Grimm, Phillip Saunders, Flimon Yohannes, Ekow Stone Curtia Wright, Oreka James, Timothy Yanick Hunter, Jega Delisca
Pamila Matharu (1973, Birmingham, UK) is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist, educator, and cultural producer. Her practice engages close readings of gaps, omissions and fissures of the 'other' experience – the unexamined intersectional feminist life. She received her undergraduate degrees in Visual Arts and Fine Arts Education in 2002 from York University, been a grant recipient of the Toronto, Ontario and Canada Art Councils, and has been awarded the Marion McMahon Award (2003 Images Festival), Best Up and Coming Toronto Film/Video Maker (2003 Inside Out Festival). Currently on view; In Another Place, Not Here at Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography (July 14 – Aug 26), Every, Now, Then: Reframing Nationhood at the AGO (June 28 – Dec 10) and in the upcoming Migrating the Margins at the Art Gallery of York University opening on September 15th.
Matharu is a co-founder of Sister Co-Resister, the collective formerly known as Bonerkill, an feminist art collective focused on collaborative art-making and trans-disciplinary exchange. Crisscrossing public pedagogy, intersectional feminism and contemporary art; Sister Co-Resister works through social practice, installation, performance and publishing, as a catalyst for social change. Sister Co-Resister is: Kiera Boult, Marilyn Fernandes, Ananda Gabo, Ashlee Harper, Shaista Latif, Syliva Limbana, Pamila Matharu, Sofia Mesa, and Annie Wong.
About the Community Arts Space: Art is Change
The Gardiner Museum's unique history and identity is rooted in the city, but its future is increasingly shaped by those beyond the core cultural corridor. As space increasingly becomes a premium downtown, the Gardiner has collaborated with six cultural and community partners to consider how institutional outreach can be re-shaped by local artists, curators, and architects. Looking to the rapid high-rise developments happening within the Museum's own Yorkville neighbourhood, the projects in Art is Change consider how the city's unique and varied local histories of art and social activism can be re-mapped for the future.

What supplements are good for the liver and kidney?
The liver and kidneys both play important roles in the body's metabolic functions and immune system regulation. The liver filters the blood coming from the digestive tract, while the kidneys remove waste products from the blood and regulate the body's water fluid levels. Liver also produces bile, which is needed in digestion and nutrient absorption.
Among the dietary herbal supplements, milk thistle, berries, and Noni juice are among the most popular choices for detoxing the kidneys and liver.

Spring Training 2014 fan tour: Houston Astros
By By Jon Busdeker
The Houston Astros won 51 games in 2013.
That's not so bad if the Astros were playing in the NBA. But the Astros play baseball - 162 games to be exact.
For baseball fans, last season is ancient history. Spring Training wipes away the the missed opportunities and soul-crushing, end-of-season standings.
Take Ed Drexel, a snowbird from Concord, N.H. and an Astros' Spring Training season-ticket holder.
Under the sunny skies of the Astro's Spring Training home at Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee earlier this week, Drexel cited a recent meet-and-greet with Astros' bench coach Dave Trembley.

The Astros are going to be "the most-improved team in the Majors", Trembley told Drexel and the others in attendance. Trembley added that the team should finish above .500 this year.
Smiling and wearing an Astros hat signed by several players, Drexel said, "That would be a great year."
Here's one other description of Drexel: An Astros optimist.
See how other Houston Astros fans are gearing up for the 2014 season and take a peak at the team's Spring Training stadium, the smallest stadium in Florida's Grapefruit League.

About the 'Spring Training 2014 Tour" series:
Each year around this time, thousands of fans flock to Florida to catch Spring Training games, see their favorite players and, for some, escape the sub-zero temperatures of their Northern homes.
To get a glimpse of Spring Training in the Grapefruit League, we took four days and visited four ballparks in Central Florida: Washington Nationals' Space Coast Stadium in Melbourne, Houston Astros' Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee, Detroit Tigers' Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland and Atlanta Braves' Champion Stadium at Walt Disney World.
The project is meant to show Spring Training from the fan's perspective, because it's the fans that make baseball this country's most enduring sport.
