Today's show: "Ramin Haerizadeh, Rokni Haerizadeh, and Hesam Rahmanian: The Maids. 2nd Han Nefkens Foundation-MACBA Award" is on view at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona in Barcelona through Sunday, January 7. The solo exhibition—the three artists are working as a collective for this project—aims "to create more equitable forms of artistic exchange by inviting different makers to contribute freely and independently to ongoing works in progress," according to a release. Invited participants include puppet artist Joan Baixas, artist Niyaz Azadikhah, robotics engineer John Cole, and writers Mandana Mohit and Sohrab Mahdavi.


In my nearly asleep state as he was leaving for work yesterday, I asked him if I was going to be lost by jumping to vol. 30.
He stopped me there and made me explain.
After a second, he said- only in the movie. And I replied, that's ok, only on tv.

BIR (radiance configuration) in protective frame with cableBiospherical Instruments' BIC, and BIR multichannel radiometers are scaled-down versions of our widely used profiling radiometers. The BIC features a cosine irradiance collector and the BIR features radiance collection optics. Both radiometers measure in four wavebands selected from over 20 10-nm wide wavebands ranging from 305–875 nm and PAR.
In addition to measuring radiance or irradiance, the instruments can optionally be equipped with sensors for water temperature and pressure/depth. Compact and lightweight, the instruments feature a dynamic-range greater than 5 decades and are suitable for a wide variety of aquatic applications, including general purpose irradiance profiling, spectral transparency, or deployment in shallow ponds and streambeds.
These sensors have been used as profiling systems powered by a PC's USB port, and have been integrated into buoys deployed in lakes and oceans using external data loggers. If you are ordering a BIC or BIR for use with a PC, you will need the USB DSM. This device is a "junction box" that allows 1 or 2 BIC or BIR cables with sensors to be powered and interfaced to the PC's USB. This is used for a single BIC or BIR, or can be optionally configured to support a BIC as a surface irradiance sensor on one cable with a BIC and BIR on the other cable suitable for lowering into your aquatic environment. By configuring the BIC underwater with the optional temperature and depth sensors, vertical profiles of the apparent optical properties can be easily obtained. Systems like this have been successfully backpacked into remote mountain locations for use at alpine lakes across the country.

Contraband sweep at Holman
ECSO part of 300-member task force in raid
Officers search an area of Holman
Alabama Department of Corrections agents and officers, backed by resources from numerous state, city and county agencies, conducted a joint law enforcement operation in an effort to find and remove contraband from the William C. Holman Correctional Facility near Atmore.
More than 300 law enforcement officers from DOC and 10 supporting agencies moved into the prison at 4:30 a.m., Thursday, April 18, as the inmates slept, and continued until late that night in the search for weapons, drugs and other items banned from prisons.
ADOC Director of Investigations and Intelligence Arnaldo Mercado said the operation, which covered the entire facility, was an overall success.
"Our ADOC team, assisted by officers from our partnering law enforcement agencies, found and removed considerable quantities of contraband," Mercado said. "We inspected every inch of the facility and left no stone unturned."
Recovered during the operation were 356 makeshift weapons, 91 grams of methamphetamine, 98 grams of marijuana, an undisclosed amount of cocaine, more than 400 assorted pills and 16 cell phones.
ADOC Deputy Commissioner of Operations Charles Daniels led the operation at the maximum-security prison, which has 870 inmates, including most of the state's most violent. Agents with ADOC's investigations and intelligence unit, along with correctional emergency response teams and correctional K-9 drug units took part in the operation.
"The ADOC is conducting these large-scale joint operations in a move to eradicate contraband, identify deficiencies and to take all necessary steps to reverse the trend of increased violence caused by illegal activity inside our prisons," Daniels said. "We are going to do whatever is necessary to eliminate the contraband problem while sending a message to those who are responsible.
"Such criminal activity will not be tolerated, and anyone who is caught bringing illegal items into our prisons will be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
Agencies assisting ADOC during the sweep were Alabama Pardons and Paroles, Alabama Emergency Management Agency, Alabama Department of Transportation, Atmore police, Bay Minette police, Brewton police and sheriff's offices in Escambia, Baldwin, Butler and Monroe counties.
Escambia County Sheriff Heath Jackson, who recently conducted a similar operation at the county jail, led a dozen deputies as part of the Holman operation. Jackson said the scope of the prison sweep was larger in which he and his officers had ever taken part.
"It was huge," he said. "Holman is a Tier-5, maximum-security facility, with more than 800 inmates. We formed up early that morning, and it was a totally different ballgame for us. We had received a request for help from ADOC, and they bend over backwards to help us. We appreciate that, and any time we can return the favor, we're glad to do it."
The first-term sheriff said his unit did not have any problems with angry inmates. In fact, some appeared relieved to see the phalanx of law enforcement officers.
"My crew did not have any problems whatsoever," Jackson said. "I felt like some of the inmates were glad to see us. They have to sleep there, and they can sleep a lot better after hundreds of weapons were seized."
He added that the operation drove home two facts about the state's penal institutions.
"It showed me, one, how under-funded our state prisons are," he said. "Also, it showed me just how many folks are incarcerated in our prisons."
Jackson also noted that the safety of the understaffed correctional officers was another byproduct of the search. (Holman has just 50 officers, roughly one for every 16 inmates.)
"The people who work for the system are also at risk, and we need to stand behind them," he said. "We need to support these folks and to support legislation that makes our prisons safer, for inmates and corrections officers."
Daniels said ADOC will continue to conduct the unannounced joint operations at other major correctional facilities in the future with assistance from other law enforcement agencies.

My brother met me at the Asheville airport three Saturdays ago and told me our dad wasn't going to wake up. We were standing at the back of his running car, breathing in the exhaust. I cried for about as long as it takes to sneeze and my brother put his arm around me and I stopped crying and I haven't cried since. It was late. We drove to the hospital in the dark and walked past an ER waiting room packed with people coughing into surgical masks and we looked at him on a bed in a brightly lit room full of machinery and tubes. I touched his hand and his leg moved. It was an involuntary thing. The stroke had wiped his magnificent mind clean in the time it takes to sneeze. He was moved to intensive care that night and in the morning a doctor met with us and assured us that the clear choice now was to "move toward comfort." Maybe I'll write more about the rest of it later, the last hours, the last breaths snoring out of him, his thin chest rising and falling. I don't want to get into it right now. The next days, in a kind of trance, I cleaned his room like someone possessed, clearing out the clutter and litter and straightening up his beloved books and excavating diplomas and papers and military records and several pairs of his glasses, which I laid out on his shelves as if to make them available for him should he come back and need to see something more clearly. After a week I flew home, walked into my house and was dazzled by the beauty of my wife and young children, but still I didn't cry. I went back to work and for a few days it was like carrying a backpack jammed with broken chunks of concrete but gradually the weight seemed to go away, which is somehow worse. So now every night when I'm done with work and the kids are in bed I look at the Jim Palmer card on the top of the stack of cards that I pulled from my box of cards at the beginning of 2018. My intention was to make my way through the year one card at a time. I'm stumped now: can't cry, can't write, can't make it past Jim Palmer. Jim Palmer! When Jim Palmer was born in 1945, my dad was already a man, at least according to the U.S. Navy, which had him among its ranks by that time. Jim Palmer was born in New York City, same as my father, and was adopted at birth by a wealthy Jewish man named Moe Wiesen and his wife, Polly. Moe died when Jim was 9, and Polly remarried a man named Max Palmer. My father was working in advertising by then, in research. His crowning achievement in that field, which he left not long after a young Jim Wiesen, beginning to distinguish himself as an athlete in youth ball, decided he wanted to have the same last name as his stepfather, was an interview-based analysis of the brassiere market. I found it in his belongings. It had the interview questions he asked the subjects about brassiere fit and comfort and appeal, along with statistical analyses of the data. Jim Palmer also had a sojourn in the land of undergarments during his career. That was in the 1970s, when Palmer was considered the best pitcher in the American League as well as the most handsome and became a model of Jockey underwear. By then my father was on his own after a short stint as a man dazzled by the beauty of his wife and young children. After that stint, perhaps the happiest days of his life, his family moved to Vermont and he moved into a small studio apartment in New York City. My father didn't wear Jockey underwear. When my brother and I visited him in New York City in the summers in the 1970s we would all sleep together on foam mats on the floor of his apartment, and at bedtime our father would lurch around in his boxer shorts. My brother and I didn't wear boxer shorts. Jim Palmer didn't wear boxer shorts. But our father the sociologist wore boxer shorts, more evidence somehow that he was beyond our understanding. Eventually he would turn out the light on his desk and the apartment would go dark except for the lights of the city seeping in through the one window. The sounds of the city would also drift up to us six stories high, the traffic, the sirens, the kinds of sounds that are presented in movies as a signifier of loneliness and vulnerability in the big city, but to me those sounds have always felt like safety. I hear those sounds and I am lying in the dark near my unfathomable father, and I'm so close I can hear him breathing.

Maggie's classic best selling mid-calf Organic Cotton Crew Socks in many great colors. Perfect for men or women and versatile enough for dress or casual wear.
Love the socks! It's great to find cotton crew socks in the hard to find 10-13 size. Not too thick, very comfortable, perfect weight. Only wish is that they had more of a color selection in this size.
I love these sox! They are just simple, all purpose, go to sox. I wear them all the time.
Great fit, great colors, great cotton content.
Maggie's Organics is one of the best companies out there. They're kind, professional, offer quality products and ship out right away. They bring happiness to their customers, especially me.
Luxurious cotton socks made in the U.S.A.!
In recent months I purchased two 3-packs of women's crew socks in beige. This time I wanted WHITE socks and found them on your website. These are the finest quality cotton socks made today because I have purchased so many different brands. I am very delighted that they are made in the U.S.A.! These socks provide a great cushion for gym workouts.
These socks are fantastic! They are thick, comfortable, and fit well. They do an amazing job of keeping my feet the right temperature - they have kept my feet warm while wearing converses in below-freezing weather, as well as kept them from being sweaty in snow boots in similar temperatures.
As a woman with size 11 feet it's hard to find socks that are long enough. These are perfect and the height is just what I hoped for. They was wonderfully, keep their color and don't shrink. AND they are both organic and fair trade! Wish I could find more staple wardrobe items that are so satisfactory.
These socks are so comfortable! I've never had a sock that was so easy on my skin. I feel like I'm royalty with such wonderful socks. Thank you Maggies!
I've been buying the dark brown crew socks since they first became available. They are so comfortable, and guilt-free in materials and manufacture. And the dark brown color blends perfectly with the brown leather shoes. My only complaint is that when I order a bunch, they come in individual plastic baggies.
but they look almost green. Still great to wear though.
Fast service and great socks!
I've worn these socks for years and will continue to do so. The fit is just right for my size 8 foot, I buy the 9-11 and it never shrinks as I was in cold and dry extra gentle. Nice color options just wish I could buy the raspberry and gold colors as a single purchase instead of a tri - pack.
The socks are excellent and love the larger size availability! Size 10-13 only thing you find in stores. These fit very well.
These are the only socks I wear. I love the cotton content, the total comfort, and even the colors. They fit beautifully and last a good long time.
I've had problems with my feet for a long time, gout, dry skin, cracked heels, etc. " Regular" socks often left my feet itchy when I took them off. I put on Maggie's socks, and the relief was instant! I still have gout, and cracked heels, but that's not the socks' fault. My only complaint is the Denim color is more of a green, than Denim blue.
These socks are a nice weight, not thin and flimsy.
The cotton crew socks are awesome! I have ordered them several times. Organic USA grown Cotton is what got me to try them, nice thick "no bells & whistles" style & quality is what keeps bringing me back for more!
My Favorite Gift to Myself!
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these organic classic crew socks! They are so comfortable and feel wonderful on! I've tried other organic brands, but nothing beats Maggies!
Make a nice stocking Stuffer!
I've given a pair to my daughters and grand daughters as an extra gift. They all look forward to them.
They are the only socks I wear!!!!! I do have to order a size up though because the regular size is too tight for my arthritis.
They are so comfortable, I plan on buying more.
I've been looking for socks like these for awhile as all I've been able to buy have so much synthetic materials in them. These crew socks are so soft and feel great on my feet.
I bought the size 9-11 in natural. They are super soft and fit great. They are not super elastic on your legs which I don't mind. I will be buying more!
I've been wearing Maggie's socks for years and love them!
These are my favorite socks. I've been wearing these and only these* for several years. They are soft and stretchy, they stay put, and they keep my feet warm (not hot!!) and dry, always. They become less soft and stretchy over time, but I still love them. They are durable and look nice (good colors!).
*Only these in spring, summer, and fall. I live in Maine. In the winter, I wear wool socks with my boots.
My favorite socks anywhere with a very comfortable, all cotton feel and an unusual range of colors. My only objections is that, with my size 11 feet, they are a bit small and sometimes are stretched so much they form holes.
Great quality classic crew socks that last and feel so good on your feet. Thank you, Maggie's!
With smaller feet it's difficult for me to get men's sox that fit and are not black or white. Both chocolate and navy go well with dress pants I have. Maggie's fit, look good, and they are comfortable. They last well, too.
I bought these for my husband. I love that they not been sprayed with toxic chemicals. My husband likes the fit and feel. Yes, I can recommend these!
this is a good classic crew sock.
Organic, fit well, last a reasonable time. Accurately described. While these are my everyday socks and I like them, as someone who goes shoeless inside, I would love if they also offered a cushioned bottom of the foot version. I also want gray.
I have been looking for cotton crew socks that do not have a tight band at the top. I also wanted ones that don't make my feet sweat. If you want these two things, these are an excellent choice.
I love the socks. I have allergies and these are the only socks I can wear that don't break me out. So comfortable too !! Love them.
I agree with another review who stated how hard it is to find plain cotton crew socks. These are soft, sturdy and comfortable. The only negative (which is the same as AC's complaint) is that the white isn't truly white. I know it's because to keep it "organic" they use peroxide instead of bleach. Therefore the white is more ivory/yellowed looking compared to white garments/other white socks. But I guess since these are good quality and fit my sock needs (other than the color not being bright white) I'll keep them. Being 98% cotton these are a rare find so thanks Maggie's for a great product and doing good things for our environment.
I was very happy to receive these nice socks, and even happier to get a free pair on a year end special. I love the feel and the color. It's nice to know that I am helping the environment, and even homeless people by ordering from Maggie's as they are donating a pair of socks per my order!
Don't lose shape. Skin doesn't suffer. Some color fading in my case but I am negligent about how to preserve color when laundering. Very important, the weight and heft of the sock itself doesn't diminish.
Great fit and texture--the best!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these organic cotton comfy socks! If you're new to Maggies, give yourself a treat and buy a pair or two or three! Next try the Wool socks and footies which are just as fabulous!
My first order from Maggie's was out of environmental and social awareness, but I was pleasantly surprised by the great quality of these socks. They are made to last.
My first time for Maggie's socks. The fit, the feel, the sizing -- all great. My only issue is the elastic at the top, which I had to strip out. There's not too much, but enough that it left a mark on my leg. I'll buy these again, though.
I only wear socks from Maggie's. Used to buy them from United, but on going online, I saw they don't have them anymore. This the first time I've ordered direct from your company. I love that they're all cotton, very attractive, wear a long time, comfortable. Don't have enough adjectives to describe them. I get a lot of complinents on the purple striped sox, often wear them with my Birkenstocks. SOOOO glad I can get them again--and the whole line!!
I've worn Maggie's socks for years and have never been disappointed; they're great, high quality socks. For some reason whenever I buy socks from a big box store my big toe nail seems to poke through in a matter of weeks. Not with Maggie's socks!
I have only worn these socks a week now and they are pretty comfortable. I bought four in the colors, navy, eggplant, denim, and natural. I love all of the colors except for the eggplant. I am on the fence on that one. In certain lighting it looks purple like it is supposed to be. But in other lighting, it looks brown, and I am not a big fan of the color brown. Other than that, I like how the socks are not thin like other socks are, so they are sturdier. They are also not too thick, and are breathable so your feet are not in a furnace and sweating really bad. I have not worn crew in a long time so I am learning how to coordinate them with my outfits so they do not look funny. So far, I totally recommend these socks to everyone!
But, I did need several new pair, so I ordered them! I must admit I needed to darn one hole in one sock's toe before I received my new ones. Keep up the great work!
The socks are far better than any I've seen, in local stores. Also, they last a lot longer!!
They are great socks, I got the black ones.
These socks are long wearing, hold their shape and their color and are a wonderful value.
I've been wearing Maggie's organic cotton crew socks almost exclusively for years, maybe decades. I love the fibers, I love the fit, I love the colors. I couldn't want more!
Best sock ever, fits- doesn't sag after a long day-cool in summer-pretty agreeable colors-wash and tumble dry or line dry, they stay soft-and best of all, I have two dozen starting from before the millennium, no holes! I wear them daily.
The products and the service are both top-notch. I used to buy Maggie's in my co-op, but this is much easier. Thanks!
I have worn these socks with boots, shoes and at times to sleep. They are always comfortable.
These are the very best cotton socks. The fit is perfect (I wear a 9.5 shoe and buy the 10-13 size sock), not too bulky or tight, and they wear exceptionally well. I buy these for myself and also give them as gifts.
These are the most comfortable, well made socks on the market today! Because they are made in the USA of 98% organic cotton! These are the only socks I wear.
I love the "all cotton sock." Extremely well fitting and gentle on the feet. Absolutely no artificial hot feeling.
I bought two pairs of these socks and they are amazing. Very soft but also very sturdy feeling. Perfect for wearing with boots or I enjoy them for dance class:) Will definitely be ordering more!
I love my brown cotton crew socks. They fit great, feel great, wear well, and are the perfect brown to match shoes.
they feel so good and snug. I've bought them before, they last for a long time and they're sturdy and soft. I love them.
I am a long time Maggie's customer. The latest crew socks I ordered seem to have more Spandex than usual, i.e., feel more 'slippery' in my shoes than cotton does and feel tighter at the tops. The label still says 98% cotton.
Thank goodness for Maggie's Organics! I was unable to find cotton crew socks for women or smaller men's size until I found Maggie's. They fit well, wear like iron and stay up,without cutting off circulation. Highly Recommend.
I have been wearing Maggie's organics socks for years and love them! The are comfortable, hold their colors after many washings and wear well!
These socks are so soft and comfortable, and the little bit of spandex makes them stay put. Can't go wrong with these.
I LOVE MAGGIE'S CREW SOCKS!
I love these socks! I've been wearing them for over 10 years and I'm spoiled! I don't like any other socks. I love the feel of organic cotton, and how well the socks hold their shape, and how well they hold up. These are the BEST!
Great socks..I hope my daughter likes them.
I was looking for comfortable, non binding socks that I could wear with my prescription leg garments. These truly "fit the bill".
We bought these socks for both myself and my husband. We both love them! Great weight, fit, colors and they stay up regardless of activity. We highly recommend these socks.
Maggie's organic crew socks are the best! They are so comfortable, soft and with just enough spandex to stay up perfectly and still feel like cotton. I recently ordered the eggplant color for the first time and love the color! I love Maggie's crews and will be ordering more!
Cotton crew socks are important for me. Lands End used to carry them in good colors but not anymore. I do wonder why some of the colors available in the three-pack are not available singly? And I really like it that they are fair trade and organic cotton.
These socks are fantastic. Just the right height, very soft like all Maggie's organic cotton is, yet also quite strong and durable. Great to support organic agriculture and get higher quality socks than you can find anywhere else!
I have been wearing Maggie's socks for over 10 years (they are almost the only stockings I wear). I love the colors, they last a very long time, launder well, and the fact that they are organic cotton is a real plus for me. I will continue to be a loyal customer!
Over ten years ago I bought a bunch of these socks at a health food coop in San Francisco, then we moved to several different places and could never find them. But over the years, they held up! I still have all of them and none of them have holes. They are the only socks that have ever lasted over 10 years! I recently started having foot problems and these cotton socks have been the only socks that make my feet feel better. I finally realized that it was time for some new ones and figured I could find them on the web but I couldn't remember the brand name. I started googling "organic cotton socks" and Maggies popped up. When I saw the brand, I realized these were the socks! At long last I could buy some new ones. I bought six pairs and have been wearing them every day. No other socks for me! I'm a customer for life! Thank you Maggies!
It is hard to be enthusiastic about socks but Maggie's cotton socks are my first preference. I like the way they fit and launder. My only hesitation about my last purchase is that I did not buy more while on sale.
I like Maggie's organic cotton crew socks a lot, and have been wearing them for years. They also send them quickly and they arrive before I expect them!
I've been wearing these socks for years for work and casual wear. A bit pricey; I try to wait for a sale (usually twice a year) to stock up. Durability used to be more of an issue, wearing through at toes and heels. It seems that they last longer lately. Word of warning: order a size up. These socks shrink after washing. I would normally wear medium size socks, but after washing and shrinking, I'd be lucky to squeeze them onto my feet, so I go with large size for a good fit.
I keep buying these socks. I have worn them for years.
Very comfortable...the value 6-pak is definitely worth looking at!
Love these socks! And they were shipped out to me so fast. This company is definitely doing something right....very friendly answers to my questions and they made the extra effort to make sure I had what I needed. What lovely socks at a great price. I will be back!
These are great socks! They are silky soft yet durable and warm, with a nice stretch. The navy color is really pretty, almost a deep dark sea blue. And it feels so good to wear them, knowing they are pesticide-free, and made by people who are earning a good wage. These will definitely be my go-to socks from now on. I have already ordered more!
I have been looking everywhere for cotton socks in nice colors for my large feet. As a female, I could only find either smaller sizes or boring colors. Thank God for Maggie's!
I have worn these socks in various colors for several years. They remain comfortable, unshrunken and never feel coarse despite many washings.
I love these socks. They are soft and wear very well. They are thick enough to be comfortable but not too thick to mess with how they fit in your shoes. I have had these socks in the past and they last a long time.
These socks are the best I've ever worn. They fit very well, are very comfortable, and don't become moist with use. They are easy to put on and take off and easy to wash and dry.
WHY is it so hard to find good plain cotton crew socks lately? These are nearly perfect! They're a dense and sturdy knit but not too thick, with exactly the right amount of stretch. I bought the six-pack in both black and white, and the 9-11 is just right for my size 7-7.5 feet. I'm sure I'll be ordering more.
How these could be even better : the "white" is more of a cream or ivory, not stark bright white, unfortunately. Also, I'd love to see a "fancy" similar model just a little longer, a little looser in the ankle/top, and with ribs or cables that extend down the top of the foot , which would make them look much better with lower-cut or mary-jane style athletic shoes.
I wear these socks a lot in different colors including the tie dyed. They really wear well and are very comfortable. Will keep ordering them I am sure. Sometimes I can get them at local health markets.
Only socks I buy - have been wearing them for years!
Its such a pleasure to find good cotton crew socks! So satisfied. Good colors too.

They are bite size, tender and AMAZINGLY good. Don't believe me make it and see for yourself. Before you make these addictive bites.
Here are some tips to keep in mind before you proceed!!
Mix the dry ingredients, plus cardamon or any that you like ginger or cinnamon add the lemon rind and mix well.
Add margarine and knead well till you have breadcrumbs like mixture.
Beat eggs, then add the vanilla essence to the eggs then pour on the mixture as you kneed.
Then add milk bit by bit as you knead till you have a soft but not sticky dough.
Put the dough on a flat surface knead for about 3 minutes oil the bowl you were using to kneed, return the dough in and cover well with a clean towel let the dough sit from 2 hours to 12 hours. I Let mine sit overnight.
Then I took the dough and knead some more.
Role on the clean surface not so thick heat oil, don't let it be so hot but hot, cut your dough in desired shapes and fry till brownish at both sides.

A debate calling for Gibraltar to be given its own MP in the House of Commons had to be re-scheduled this week.
Conservative Brexiteer Craig Mackinlay had tabled a private member's bill offering Gibraltarians the right to elect a politician to Westminster.
The MP for Thanet South had planned to present his bill under the 10 minute rule during the course of parliamentary proceedings on Tuesday.
But the Representation of the People (Gibraltar) Bill was taken off the schedule as MPs in the Commons focused on other issues including the deaths in Gaza and press regulation.
A spokesman for Mr Mackinlay's office said the debate would be re-scheduled, "probably in the next couple of weeks".

Trump to freshmen Dem congresswomen: 'If you're not happy, you can leave' 27 mins ago

China Targets Prominent Uighur Intellectuals to Erase an Ethnic Identity
The removal of high-profile Uighur scholars familiar with the Chinese government, and the country's education and legal systems, is aimed at erasing not only the group's unique ethnic identity but also its ability to defend such traditions, said a Uighur professor now living in Istanbul who asked not to be identified because of possible risks to family in Xinjiang.

Many scholars trace the assault on intellectuals to the imprisonment of Ilham Tohti, a Uighur economist, in 2014. Mr. Tohti, who was an outspoken critic of the discrimination Uighurs face in China, was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of separatism.
More detentions came in 2017. Many of those targeted worked on preserving Uighur culture.
Rahile Dawut, one of the most well known of the disappeared Uighur academics, is an anthropologist at Xinjiang University who studied Islamic shrines, traditional songs and folklore. Ms. Dawut was detained in December 2017 and hasn't been heard from since.
Before the crackdown, the Uighur intellectual elite offered a bridge between the body of Uighur society, who number about 11 million and are largely poor farmers, and the much wealthier Han Chinese, who dominate economic and political power. The scholars also worked carefully to try to improve the lot of a group that complained of widespread discrimination and draconian restrictions on religious activity.
These scholars offered a moderate path, where Uighurs could maintain religious and cultural practices without turning to extreme and isolationist ideas, said Rune Steenberg, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen.
"This is the really big tragedy about the clampdown," Dr. Steenberg said. "They were actually bridge builders of integration of broader Uighur society into modern Chinese society and economy."
Many young Uighurs have been inspired by the scholars' accomplishments, said Erkin Sidick, a Uighur engineer who went to the United States for graduate school in 1988 and now works on telescopes for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Mr. Sidick said hundreds would attend informal talks he gave on pursuing graduate degrees and many closely studied a book he published that compiled biographies of Uighur academics.
"Uighur people value education very much," he said.
Now, Uighurs keep a grimmer list of Uighur intellectuals — those who have disappeared in the current campaign.

STEAM is becoming an increasingly important in the current education landscape. This summer, join us to explore new ways of incorporating STEAM into your teaching practice. Learn new techniques through hands-on workshops and create custom lessons plans ready to use in your own classroom. Learn about emerging topics in K-12 educational environment such as makerspace management, entrepreneurial mindset, social justice, building community and more. No prior experience with creative technology needed. Everyone is welcome from new comers to technology masters!
Creative Coding, Circuitry, Digital Design and Fabrication, Stop Motion Animation, 3D Modeling and Printing.
This will give them not only initial exposure to these new techniques, but also a chance to have hands on exploration of the subject. For the first two days, educators will be attending two workshops, rotating between the different stations lead by TC specialized instructors. On the final day they will spend the first half of the day attending their final workshop. In the last half of the day, they will meet their groups to discuss and formulate a lesson plan including one or more of the topics covered in the workshops. Each educator will create their own lesson plan for use in their classroom. Educators are encouraged to conference with each other and share ideas within their groups. At the end of the workshop not only will educators have some unique art pieces they have made, but also a set of lesson plans ready to be implemented in their own classrooms.
Discover creative, low-cost ways of incorporating technology in your classrooms.
For each subject area, you will have a chance to choose from 5 different levels to best align with your abilities, interests, and experiences, and be grouped with attendees who teach similar grade levels.
Groups will rotate through these five labs. At the end of the last day, groups will break off to discuss and create a lesson plan that is ready to use in their own classrooms.
Can computers think, imagine, and create? In this workshop, creators will explore programming tools used in digital art learning environments. Using simple sets of algorithmic commands, students will use interactivity, motion, and other audiovisual effects to create mini-animations and game ideas. This workshop is designed for an audience with no prior computational background.
Over the course of 30+ years CAD programs have become sophisticated, friendly to use, and easily accessible. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will be introduced to free, professional, simple-to-use 3D design software. Using a digital 3D modeler, each participant will develop a design, model that it, and, time permitting, 3D print it. During this workshop, we will examine how 3D technologies can be integrated into the classroom experience, identify the educator's needs, and look at how attendees can incorporate the experience in their own making process.
Educators will learn about different circuits that can be used in creative art projects, various methods used to create creative circuits, and explore different conductive materials. Educators will also receive information on how circuits are being used in different formats and potential places to look for resources for lesson planning and material ordering.
Educators will learn the how to operate two different vector design programs, Adobe Illustrator and Vectr. Educators will understand the benefits and real world applications of vector design and will use their new knowledge to create art pieces using the laser engraver.
Come explore how to create your own movie magic! Educators will learn the basics of the film production process through stop motion animation. We will explore how to tell simple stories, create characters, and animate simple movement. Educators will use professional grade software, but will also learn how to animate with cost-effective equipment and software to implement animation in their own classrooms.

Cerevance Launched with New Technology, Drug Portfolio and $36M in Cash to Tackle Brain Diseases
OSAKA, Japan & CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Friday, December 2nd 2016 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TOKYO:4502):
- Takeda and Lightstone Ventures Participate in Series A Financing -
- Former Takeda Cambridge UK employees, CNS programs moved to create turn-key discovery capabilities -
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TOKYO:4502) and Lightstone Ventures today announced the launch of Cerevance, a neuroscience company focused on discovering and developing novel therapeutics for neurological and psychiatric disorders. The company will use a new technology, created in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute laboratory of Nathaniel Heintz, Ph.D. at the Rockefeller University.
Takeda will jumpstart the new company by providing a 25-person neuroscience research team from its Cambridge, United Kingdom site, including industry veteran Mark Carlton, Ph.D., fully equipped laboratory space, and licenses to a portfolio of preclinical and clinical stage drug programs. Cerevance is funded with $36 million that includes a $21.5 million Series A financing investment from Takeda and Lightstone Ventures, with each joining Cerevance's Board of Directors.
"Seven of the ten leading causes of disability in the world are central nervous system disorders," said Brad Margus, Cerevance Chief Executive Officer. "With a well capitalized, proven team and promising drug programs already underway, we hope to rapidly advance a pipeline of therapeutics into the clinic in parallel with scaling up a truly novel approach to brain diseases based on our new technology."
"We are thrilled to assemble some of our best scientists, programs and discovery resources in a highly focused endeavor as part of our increased emphasis on leveraging external innovation," said Andrew Plump, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical and Scientific Officer of Takeda. "When we announced the closure of our research site in Cambridge, UK, our goal was to find an innovative externalization home for our most promising CNS programs and scientists in an entrepreneurial setting. Cerevance is a great example of our new R&D strategy."
"Lightstone is excited to lead the Series A in Cerevance and believes the combination of Nat Heintz's expertise and platform technology, the proven and impassioned management team, and Takeda's strong support represent a compelling early-stage investment opportunity," said Jason Lettmann, Partner at Lightstone Ventures. "Cerevance is in a unique position to bring a breakthrough technology to the development of treatments for central nervous system diseases that affect millions of people worldwide."
This is not the first time that Takeda, Heintz and Margus have joined forces. In 2009, Takeda invested in and later collaborated with CNS drug discovery start-up Envoy Therapeutics which included Heintz and Margus as founders and which also licensed a technology from the Rockefeller University. Takeda ultimately acquired Envoy in 2012.
Cerevance will have sites in both Massachusetts and the United Kingdom, surrounded by vibrant academic research ecosystems that support biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

If you know me or frequent my blog, then you'll know that I always say my number one cleanser is the rose stick cleanser from SU:M 37. Since they've discontinued it, I've been on the hunt for a new cleanser that works just as well. I won't say that I found a replacement, but the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser is pretty darn good.
When it's hot out I don't like heavy duty moisturizing sheet masks so I thought this would be the perfect time to use my Innisfree Real Squeeze Green Tea Sheet Masks. They're light and comfortable to wear in this summer heat, and they hydrate and soothe parched skin. I've tried a few of their Real Squeeze sheet masks in the past, which included rose, ginseng, and aloe. They're affordable, decent quality, and great for daily use.
I never thought I'd say this, but I think I have too many products. I spent some time going through what I have and what I wanted to review (pretty much everything) and felt so behind. I should've reviewed some of these things last year! Anyway, several months ago I reviewed Jayjun's Anti-Dust Whitening Mask and now I'm finally getting to its gorgeous twin, the Anti-Dust Therapy Mask.
I'm embarrassed to say that I still get bacne/back acne/body acne from time to time. I don't treat the skin on my body as well as the skin on my face, which I've realized is a mistake. Since warm weather is coming around soon, I want to make sure my body is spot free so I can wear my summer clothes with confidence. I picked up the Klairs Manuka Honey & Choco Body Soap when I was shopping in A-Land in hopes that it would be an easy way to get rid of bacne. Let's see if this bacne wash works!
Yikes, I was clearing out my vanity and realized that I never reviewed my COSRX honey mask! I've finished it off and wanted to leave my two cents before throwing out the container.
Hydrating mists have always seemed a bit gimmicky to me. If you've been keeping up with beauty news then you might've heard them saying mists actually dry out your skin. I tried misting while on a long haul flight to Asia many years back and I remember feeling extra parched at the end of it. Well, this time around I discovered a great mist and an even better way to use them. Say hello to Sulwhasoo's Hydro-Aid Moisturizing Soothing Mist! This mist is part of the Hydro-Aid collection, which is used to address hydration concerns (review of the Moisturizing Soothing Cream is here).
2018 coupon/promo for PURITO via eopenmarket!
Welcome back to part two of my PURITO experience! If you didn't get a chance to read part one head over here. Today I'll be sharing with you the Centella Green Level Buffet Serum.


At the beginning of the 20th Century, half of the population of West Brittany knew Breton only, the other half being bilingual in Breton and French. In 1902, the Breton language (as any other regional language of France) was banned in public schools by the French government. French is thus the only language allowed during both classes and playtime. Today, around 200,000 people speak Breton: UNESCO states that Breton is in a great danger of disappearing1, as its population is 10 times less than in years 19002.
There are now many dictionaries for no French-speaking Breton learners3.
