This Week in 200 Words

In state updates, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear issued an executive order restoring voting rights for over 140,000 formerly incarcerated individuals in the state. New Jersey may soon follow suit and restore voting rights to those on probation and parole. A new report shows how gerrymandering is stymying the gun reform laws that most Pennsylvanians and Virginians want. Georgia and Wisconsin both announced massive voter roll purges just 3 months before the 2020 primary.

In other news, a new nonpartisan report demonstrates a clear link between precinct closures and decreased voter turnout in Georgia. Congress has allocated $425 million in new funding for election security ahead of next year’s presidential election. And the Brennan Center released a report on the impact of Citizens United as the 10-year anniversary of the ruling approaches.

National News

Atlanta Journal Constitution – Precinct closures harm voter turnout in Georgia, AJC analysis finds

[…] The AJC mapped Georgia’s 7 million registered voters and compared how distance to their local precincts increased or decreased from 2012 to 2018. During that time, county election officials shut down 8% of Georgia’s polling places and relocated nearly 40% of the state’s precincts.

Most of the precinct closures and relocations occurred after the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013 ended federal oversight of local election decisions under the Voting Rights Act. The AJC’s analysis, vetted by two nonpartisan statistics experts, showed a clear link between turnout and reduced voting access. The farther voters live from their precincts, the less likely they are to cast a ballot.

NPR – Congress Allocates $425 Million For Election Security In New Legislation

Congress has allocated about $425 million in new funding for election security ahead of the 2020 presidential election, a Democratic congressional source confirmed to NPR on Monday.

The funding is part of a spending package expected to be passed by the end of the week.

It also represents a compromise. Democrats in the House had originally hoped for $600 million. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., indicated earlier this year he would support $250 million.

Brennan Center for Justice – How Citizens United Reshaped Elections

January 21, 2020 will mark a decade since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a controversial decision that reversed century-old campaign finance restrictions and enabled corporations and other outside groups to spend unlimited funds on elections.

While wealthy donors, corporations, and special interest groups have long had an outsized influence in U.S. elections, that sway has dramatically expanded since the Citizens United decision, with negative repercussions for American democracy and the fight against political corruption.

State Updates

Kentucky – CNN – Kentucky governor restores former felons’ voting rights

Newly sworn-in Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear restored voting rights for over 140,000 former felons in the state through an executive order, his office announced Thursday.

“My faith teaches me to treat others with dignity and respect. My faith also teaches forgiveness and that is why I am restoring voting rights to over one hundred forty thousand Kentuckians who have done wrong in the past, but are doing right now,” Beshear, a Democrat, said in a statement. “I want to lift up all of our families and I believe we have a moral responsibility to protect and expand the right to vote.”

Beshear also lamented the state’s voter access issues, asserting that Kentucky has the third highest voter disenfranchisement rate nationwide with nearly 10% of people, and nearly 25% of African-Americans, in the state not being allowed to vote.

Pennsylvania – Pennsylvania Capital-Star – New report blames gerrymandering for stalled gun-safety bills

Most Pennsylvanians favor stricter gun laws, recent polling suggests, but efforts to advance gun safety legislation have languished in the state General Assembly. That disconnect is likely due in part to partisan gerrymandering, according to a report released Tuesday by the Center for American Progress, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that advocates progressive policies. The analysis looks at gerrymandering in five states, including Pennsylvania, where Democrats won the majority of statewide votes, but Republicans maintained control over the state legislatures.

Georgia – San Diego Union-Tribune – Judge permits Georgia voter roll purges, plans 2nd hearing

A federal judge is allowing Georgia to proceed with a mass purge of its voting rolls planned for Monday evening, but he also scheduled a hearing later in the week to hear more arguments about the matter. That decision came after a lawyer for the state assured him that if the judge finds later that some people should not have been removed, they can be easily and quickly reinstated.

New Jersey – Philadelphia Inquirer – New Jersey might give 80,000 people on probation and parole the right to vote. Advocates want more.

[…] A bill to limit disenfranchisement to those in prison passed the Assembly this month and cleared a Senate committee Thursday. It is expected to pass in the Senate with backing from Democrats who control both chambers. Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, has stated his support for the idea.

Wisconsin – NYT – Wisconsin Judge Says State Must Purge 200,000 Voter Registrations

Three years ago, fewer than 23,000 votes handed Donald J. Trump a crucial victory in Wisconsin, a state that many had assumed would again be won by the Democratic candidate. The takeaway for 2020 in a state that was now seen as a key prize: Every last vote would matter.

On Friday, far more Wisconsin voters — some 200,000 — were ordered dropped from the state’s voting rolls in a court ruling that was sending political operatives and officials scrambling.

Another reason to switch your phone to airplane modeYou probably know to switch your smartphone to airplane mode when you fly. Per a 2013 law, as long your phone is in airplane mode, you can leave it powered on and use it in flight—even to message with people over Wi-Fi aboard most U.S. airlines, including Delta and Southwest. But have you ever wondered what would happen if you didn’t switch it to airplane mode (or if you’ve forgotten to switch it, what did happen)?

For one thing, you can rack up serious roaming charges, as a passenger on an Aer Lingus flight recently found out. As written in The Irish Times, the passenger “said he had inadvertently left his phone on in an overhead compartment while flying to the US and was horrified to get a bill for almost $300 from AT&T, his provider, weeks later.

“AT&T said the charges were racked up by ‘antennas installed on the plane that operate outside an unlimited international roaming plan.’ The antennas can ‘automatically connect with phones that are not in flight mode and run up charges – even when the phones are not in use.'”

The fact is that you can only accrue roaming charges when you’re traveling internationally and you don’t have an international plan like T-Mobile’s, but it’s good to know this is possible. And of course, you should switch to airplane mode anyway.

H/T to View from the Wing.

The Producer’s Perspective

On Sunday, July 19, 2015, I sat down with Broadway producer, Ken Davenport (Kinky Boots, It’s Only A Play, the upcoming revival of Spring Awakening), to discuss my survival job as a Broadway usher. I am a fan of his podcast, The Producer’s Perspective, so it was a great honor to be asked.

Listen to it on iTunes here. Download it here.

From Ken’s web site:

I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty influential people from Broadway on this podcast, from Tim Rice to Ben Brantley to Kevin McCollum and a bunch more.

But like any industry, Broadway isn’t run by just the 50 most powerful people.  In fact, sometimes it’s the people without the bold faced names that are even more important to its operation.

Broadway is a community of hundreds and hundreds of employees who all help make its crazy wheel go round, eight times a week.  And of all of the jobs, ushers talk to more of our ticket buyers than anyone (used to be the phone operators, but not with online buying being what it is!).

So I wanted to talk to one.  I reached out to my friends over at Jujamcyn Theaters and asked for their help in picking one of their experienced vets to help me understand what was happening on the front lines and whether or not things had changed since this blog.

And they introduced me to John Raymond Barker, an actor whose “night job” is ushering at the Hirschfeld Theatre.  Listen in to this podcast to hear John’s first hand knowledge and insight on things like . . .

  • What’s the biggest complaint our audience has about going to the theater?
  • How training for ushers is different than it was ten years ago (at least for some of the theater chains).
  • How can we make Patti Lupone sleep easy at night and improve theater etiquette?
  • How texting is the least of our problems in the theater.
  • The solution to the bathroom debate.

Listen in and learn from one of Broadway’s foot soldiers.  I know I did!

If you would like to become a sponsor of "The World's Grandest Jet Event"---Contact Lewis Patton
JOK Pilots,
New FAA Mandate:
Jets Over Kentucky 2021 will be affected by the new mandate. "Model activity can proceed only by closure of the airport." Memphis FAA handed down this decision last week. However, Atlanta upon receiving this new request stated they would never approve of airport closure for 10 days.
This put us in a very precarious situation, and produced tremendous stress on me, and the airport! We produced a solution by which the FAA might accept. This solution gives us 8 hours of UNINTERRUPTED flight time each day.
The next item was to produce times for the airport to be open. We decided that the airport would open until 10:00am, and from 3:00pm-5:30pm. That gives us 10:00 to 3:00pm, and 5:30pm until 8:30 for 10 days to fly UNINTERRUPTED.
That's the best we could get, and we're coping with a mandate that all events will now have to deal with. We understand if some might not attend, but this is a consequence BEYOND OUR CONTROL. We anticipate this to still be our best Jets Over Kentucky to date, and hope you understand our current situation.

FAA approval of JOK is 100% assured; just a formality now.  Should get our paperwork Tuesday.

Marketing tips for small business by Joseph Ashford | Joe Ashford, Business Blog

Marketing tips for small business by Joseph Ashford

Do you run a small business but are not where you want to be? Then read up on our marketing tips for small business article now. Joseph Ashford has years of experience in running and marketing businesses of all levels in different sectors. He has kindly provided his expertise to help businesses like yours achieve your goals and dreams today.

Super small business marketing tips

Joseph Ashford has many years of experience in running businesses and knows that marketing for small business is an essential requirement. Joseph Ashford has recognised that many businesses especially those on a smaller scale often neglect marketing as they are so concentrated on business. This is a short-sighted approach that will not increase revenue or business growth in the long-run.

To help businesses like yours, we sat down with Joe Ashford who has kindly offered to help businesses like yours create marketing strategies that help business. Keep reading for more information.

Creating the right impression

Much like human interaction, your business has to create the right impression. Consistency is key here, but you should not be afraid of having fun as Joe Ashford pointed out, “Too many companies focus on being professional which comes across boring and staid.” Of course, in certain industries, there must be a high level of professionalism, but for matters like social media, people respond to companies like Innocent Smoothies very well.

Joe Ashford knows that having the right voice in your marketing materials will also impact on how your business comes across. You can maintain a level of professionalism very easy, take a look at Shark Tank’s Twitter account. With so many different scenarios and businesses, it will be worthy of another blog post to cover this topic.

Be present on social media

Social media has revolutionised the world and has become a must-have tool whether it used for personal or business reasons. Joseph Ashford has recognised that some businesses are afraid to go on social media and be creative with it as they are afraid of putting a foot wrong. Let your business have a voice on social media and speak to your audience.

Joe Ashford recommends the following social media channels: Marketing tips for small business by Joseph Ashford

It is important to realise that not all social media channels are created equal and not all will be right for your business. When you find the right social media channel for you, it will be an important aspect of your business that must be tended to on a regular basis. Customers will start interacting with your social media and expect a reply; interaction is key and will endear your business to clients which leads us onto our next point from Joe Ashford.

Communicate not only with your audience, but also with your current customer group

Marketing is all about communication says Joseph Ashford, and it is imperative that you communicate on all levels and all channels. Whether it is a MailChimp, new brochure, advert or even a post on social media – communication is vital. Simple communication isn’t enough as it has to be tailored to that individual customer or customer group.

Joe Ashford recommends that you analyse all communications so that you know who your current group of customers are so that you can keep them on board with tailored communications. If you wish to expand your business in the future, knowing the target group is vital.

To illustrate the above point, Joseph Ashford provided us with an example of a marketing campaign. The aim was to gather younger customers but retain the older audience that the business had built up over the years. The aim was achieved through a combination of tactics that included:

  • Powerful graphics
  • Lots of colours
  • Direct language
  • Videos

So how did this all work? Well, the combination of different media ensured that not one audience group was left out. Take a look at this link for further examples of marketing campaigns.

Ah networking, that old chestnut remarked Joe Ashford when we posed the question to him. Our discussion covered a lot of what networking is, was and can be today and for the future. The same principles of networking still go, but we know you are probably thinking “How does this relate to marketing for small business?”

As a small business, you do not have the reach or budget of big businesses, yet you should not falter in your mission to become a success. The saying of ‘It’s not what you know, it is who you know’ rings true in small business circles. By reaching out to people who are interested in your services and using your contacts, you have the chance to snowball your way to the top. A great tool Joseph Ashford recommends is LinkedIn, a serious network tool.

Final words

The meeting with our marketing guru Joseph Ashford had to end as he had a day full of small business marketing meetings. Before Joe ran off, we asked him for a few words to help end this article.

“Being a small business is hard-work and can seem like there is no reward for the work and efforts you put in. Do not despair and keep working and thinking smart. One of my favourite generals once said – If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”

3 Quick Solutions to iPhone Frozen During Update

Q:"Try to update my iPhone 6s but it is frozen during the process. Any help?" - from Apple Community

Apple regularly releases new iOS version to improve performance and offer new features. Usually at this time, many Apple users could hardly wait to update their iPhone operating system to the latest version to enjoy these new services.

Suppose this is what you are experiencing, please set your mind at rest and check out 3 viable solutions to iPhone frozen during update presented in this article.

3. The hardware issue or crashing software causes your iPhone to be overheated, thereby leading the iPhone to freeze during downloading the latest firmware.

4. In most cases, iPhone system failures should be blamed when iPhone is frozen during an iOS update. Many users who have experienced the same issue point it out.

Month: May 2020

Compulsory wearing of face masks in public places

Since 1 May 2020, it has been law that a cloth face mask, homemade item or other item which covers the nose and mouth of its wearer must be worn in public, when entering buildings or premises, or while travelling in public transport. It has also been law that all employees of businesses who may come into contact with members of the public must be provided with such a mask or covering by their employer.

While it is law that such coverings must be worn, some people appear to be ignoring this requirement. Because no offences for failing to do so have been defined in the regulations, strictly speaking, no-one may lawfully be arrested or prosecuted for such failure. A law enforcement official may however instruct a non-compliant person to either put on such a covering in his or her presence or go home. Failure to do so would constitute the offence of failing to comply with the instructions of a law enforcement official, which is an offence.

The absence of prescribed offences (lacuna) in the law should not be seen as an excuse to not wear coverings. The idea behind everyone wearing some form of protective gear is to mitigate the risks of spreading of COVID-19. It is both foolish and inconsiderate not to wear an appropriate face mask or covering. Simply put, the intended purpose is: “I protect you from me – you protect me from you,” and has been used to great effect in some other countries.

People should however be careful when buying face masks. Because homemade and makeshift face coverings are not subject to any standards, specifications or regulations, anyone can make and sell them.

We have recently learned that some entrepreneurs have taken to selling fabric masks at such places taxi ranks and allowing potential buyers to try them on before purchasing. This practice is extremely dangerous and defeats the entire purpose of wearing a face mask. Common sense dictates that if a person who tries a facemask on unknowingly has COVID-19 and hands it back to the seller to sell it to someone else, the virus can easily be spread.

To download Government Gazette 43258 of 30 April 2020, please click here. The applicable regulations are regulations 5 and 14 and their sub-regulations.

Taliban claims downed helicopter, 2 US soldiers killed

KABUL, Afghanistan — A helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, killing two US service members, NATO forces said. The Taliban claimed it shot down the craft, but NATO said it was still investigating.
Hostile fire has not been ruled out in the crash in Helmand province, said Lt. Commander Katie Kendrick, a spokeswoman for the military coalition.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi claimed in a telephone call to The Associated Press that the insurgent group shot the chopper down.

Roth killer arrested by Argentina cops

Chance encounter leads Mendosa police to convict Moshe Ben-Ivgi.

Police in Argentina arrested Moshe Ben-Ivgi on Saturday, who fled Israel in 2004 after being convicted of the 1994 murder of cab driver Derek Roth in Herzliya.
Police in the Argentinian city of Mendosa captured Ben-Ivgi and a second Israeli national by chance, after officers became suspicious of his behavior. Ben-Ivgi refused to identify himself, police said, but officers photographed him after the arrest and concluded that he was an Israeli citizen.
The photos were then transferred to the Israel Police representative in South America, Ch.-Supt. Yossi Klein, who confirmed that Ivgi was a fugitive of the law who is wanted in Israel. A finger print analysis provided final confirmation of Ivgi's identity.
In 2009, Interpol issued an international arrest warrant for Ben-Ivgi.
In a murder which shocked Israel, Derek Roth was shot several times in the back while in his cab. The murder was carried out by Moshe Ben-Ivgi and a second teenage accomplice, Arbel Aloni.
Ben-Ivgi, who was aged 14 during the murder,  was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
His sentence was extended by five years after Ben-Ivgi went on a robbery spree targeting two convenience stores while on a prison leave of absence.
Following the robberies, the Israel Prison Service sought to remove Ben-Ivgi's leave of absence rights, but the High Court ruled in favor of an appeal by Ben-Ivgi to retain the rights.
In 2004, Ben-Ivgi used another leave from prison to escape to Argentina, where he made contact with other Israeli criminals on the run.
A few months later, Ben-Ivgi was arrested by Argentinian police at an address in a suburb of Buenos Ares for drug offences. Israel began extradition proceedings against Ben-Ivgi, although no extradition agreement between the two countries exists.
In 2007, Argentinian authorities released Ben-Ivgi on bail, since according to Argentinian law, an individual cannot be held criminally responsible for crimes they committed as minors.
Since then, the State Prosecution's international department and the Israel police have attempted to have Ben-Ivgi extradited back to Israel on murder and grand larceny charges.
Ben-Ivgi was ordered to present himself at an Argentinian police station once every 20 days while an Argentinian court proceeded with the extradition request.
In 2009, the Buenos Aires court was going through the final stages of hearing Ben-Ivgi's appeal against the extradition, but then Ben-Ivgi suddenly disappeared.
Argentinian police officers who came to Ben-Ivgi's home found that he had escaped.

Translated Research Paper
Control of Dispersion of Agglomerated Particles in Water by Electrostatic Repulsion Force [Translated]
Yasuo KousakaYoshiyuki EndoTakahiro HoriuchiYoshiyuki Sasaki
Author information

1996 Volume 14 Pages 162-167

The effect of electrostatic repulsion force arising from the surface potential ψ and the double layer I/χ around a particle on dispersion or de-agglomeration of agglomerated particles in water is discussed.
Several suspensions of PSL (polystyrene latex) particles in an agglomerated state where Ψ and 1/χ are respectively controlled by the pH and the electrolyte concentration Ce were prepared. They were accelerated in a convergent nozzle to give an external force on particles and agglomerated particles were dispersed into primary particles. PSL particles thus dispersed were observed with an optical microscope. It was found that the dispersion of agglomerated particles were enhanced with an increase of Ψ and Ce under a constant external force or a constant flow rate in the nozzle. It is well understood that the dispersion of particles with higher surface potential ψ is much easier. It is, however, intuitively curious that the dispersion of agglomerated particles in higher electrolyte concentration Ce is much easier, since coagulation is usually enhanced in such a higher Ce suspension. The experimental results may be applied to control the dispersion of agglomerated particles in water.

One thing that's needed

Lessons from holiday driving

Simon Rogalski | Wed, 5th Sep 2018

I don't know about you, but I can get easily distracted. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming and sometimes I find myself starting one job, only to switch to another a few minutes later. Other times, I can just be overwhelmed by so many things that I find myself missing the main thing.

This Summer we were in France, which meant lots of driving in a different country. This is usually not a problem, however on one journey, whilst I was trying to drive on a hot day, take in the local scenery and follow the right road signs, I found myself forgetting the main thing, the thing that really counted; keeping on the right-hand side of the road! Fortunately it was only for a moment and I suspect the oncoming French driver just muttered something under his breath about stupid English drivers as he carried on with his journey.

In his gospel account of Jesus, Luke tells a story of a woman called Martha who invited Jesus to come for a meal. However, it doesn't go as she planned.

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, 'Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!'

'Martha, Martha,' the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed – or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.

Luke 10: 38-42

This is not a story against people who are more active or practical in the Christian life, in favour of people who are more academic or thoughtful. Reading it like that means we miss out on what Jesus is teaching here. Here are just a few things that are particularly helpful to us.

Firstly, as the former Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright, points out, in the culture of the time, women were not supposed to be sitting at the feet of the rabbi. They were meant to be in a separate room at that moment, certainly not in a position ready to learn from him. However, in this extremely radical, counter-cultural act, that's exactly what Mary does. Jesus is showing us that in the kingdom of God, we are all extended the invitation to know, listen and learn from him. Perhaps you discount yourself from this, for some reason; your background, your gender, your age, your asylum status. Jesus calls you to sit at his feet and listen.

It's also listening and learning for a purpose. Jesus taught people so that they could go out and be his people in their towns and villages. A life with Jesus at the centre means we're sent out for purpose into our streets, our schools, universities, workplaces, clubs etc.

Again, like Mary, none of us are discounted in this. We are all called into this kingdom mission of learning from Jesus and living for him in the places around us.

Thirdly, we see that it is possible in the Christian life to be active and engaged in lots of good things, yet fail to spend time listening to and learning from Jesus. Martha was likely to have had mixed motives. She would have been excited to host Jesus and keen to put on an amazing meal for him. Yet her annoyance at her sister suggests there was something not right. Jesus tells her that her many distractions have ultimately drawn her away from the one thing that is needed, the thing that ultimately gave life, strength and purpose to her - being with him.

We've had the wonderful privilege of having our friend, Michael Akotia, with us from Ghana over the last few weeks. I was stirred by his vision for his recent conference in Ho which he called 'Devoted to Jesus'. He knew that the most important thing his churches could do is to spend time with Jesus, listening to him, speaking with him and learning from him. They were not going to get distracted from this. Then, and only then, would they be ready to be propelled into their towns and villages to proclaim Jesus' joy news.

Jubilee, as in the next few months we launch our next Alpha course, celebrate 20 years as a church and hurtle towards Christmas (all of which I'm really excited about by the way!), let's be those that choose to be with Jesus, wholly devoted to him, strengthened by him and learning from all he has for us.

So here's a question to leave you with. What might that look like in your personal life, at your workplace, in your community group, at your dinner table? As, by God's grace, we live this message out in our daily lives, we'll realise why Jesus said Mary has 'chosen what is better'.

How ‘Ungardening’ Took Root In America

Girls are very particular about their interiors, especially when it is all about their bedroom. Let’s start with stability which is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colours, textures and area. On a recent powder room design a client requested tile to be installed above the vainness all the way in which up the wall and regarded tiling the entire wall not simply above the vainness. The powder room being very small could solely visually help a small amount of tile without making the space really feel cumbersome or heavy. Based mostly on the principle of balance we opted for less is extra and decided not to do the entire wall. Thought was additionally given to the light pendants we chose, again wanting to keep the room balanced we selected streamline lights that had little or no bulk and clear glass to keep the stability of the house … Read More

Lockdown 2 Resilience Tips - Day 13

We had the good news yesterday that another vaccine trial is looking really promising. Fabulous work is being done around the world to get this pandemic under control.

My tip for today to help us through is to smile 😊. It is an amazing thing that if we smile, even when we don’t actually feel like smiling, it tricks our brain into thinking something good is going on. That creates a cascade of positive chemicals which lift our mood, energise us and very helpfully, especially at this time, boost our immunity.

Smiling is also infectious. If we smile, other people are likely to as well, and even if they don’t, just seeing us smile will give them a bit of a boost. And all for free! And so easy to do.

So, next time you notice it would be good to shift your mood or your energy, give it a go. Or you could be proactive and set up reminders throughout the day to smile. Try it and notice what happens 😊

Baseball Class of 2018 Reports to Campus

The class of 2018 has made its way to Medford, MA from all parts of the country. The Jumbo Baseball Coaches and players welcomed 1st year guys from Houston, TX to Boca Raton, FL; Barstone, KY to Norfolk, VA; Atlanta, GA to Glenview, IL; and Ashland, MA to Towson, MD. The best part is that they are all Jumbos now that hail from Medford, MA.

The 2018 class features five pitchers, five infielders, four outfielders and one catcher. We also have two football players and one hockey player.

The 2018 Class was officially welcomed by our 2015 Captains Tom Ryan, Kyle Slinger, and Connor McDavitt. The 1st year class is fortunate to have these three outstanding examples of what a Jumbo ballplayer is.

Below is the sledgehammer video that was taken Monday morning, the first day back lifting in the weight room. The 1st year guys took no time getting use to swinging the hammers as the upperclassmen set the early tone. We will work hard for success in 2015. Go Jumbos!

National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne

Until September 18, 2016

Australia hosts the largest retrospective of one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries: the great pioneer of modern art Edgar Degas (1834-1917). At the opening a great performance of two Australian Ballet dancers celebrated the eternal divination of art on the flow of time.
In more than fifty years of constant creativity and renewal, Degas devoted himself to painting, sculpture, drawing, photography and engraving,  transfusing an immense influence on modern and contemporary art .

Edgar Degas. The ballet rehearsal on Stage, 1874. Orsay Museum, Paris
The ballet rehearsal on Stage, 1874. Orsay Museum, Paris

The artist explored with endless variations the modern life of Paris in the nineteenth century, from the beautiful interiors to the working environment, from ballet to theater, from racecourses to boudoirs. This exhibition brings together more than 200 works from collections around the world, offering a fresh and dynamic portrait of this legendary artist.

Edgar Degas and the Belle Époque

Degas’s paintings photograph the almost intimate moments of the dancers while tieing the satin laces of the shoes, the musician tuning his instrument, the entreneuse taking a break between a customer and another. Moreover, the Ville Lumiere in the golden age, where you can discover a touch of the Belle Époque and relive the avant-garde atmosphere in a journey through the Paris clubs and bistros, cafes downtown, the most popular theaters and the horse races.

Henri Loyrette -ex director of the Musee D’Orsay and the Louvre– is the curator of the prestigious event where you can admire the boundless universe of this inexhaustible art explorer, from intense sensual nudes to portraits, from the intriguing night life of the cafe chantant to the racecourses and the famous stolen shots from the stage or from the rehearsal room of the ballets. Exhausting exercises at the barre, the hectic preparation, the short breaks during practice or during the show that Degas immortalized in almost 1,500 works.

During the Haussmann renovation of the city, Paris has been perfectly designed for the art of walking around aimlessly also known as flânerie. The literary and theoretical figure of the Flâneur, shaped by modernity, still inspires, resonates and echoes in contemporary artistic practices. Paris needs to be explored by foot, without a particular goal but to observe and discover what is around the corner.

While moving to Paris offered Karin the opportunity to discovering the city without a plan, but to walk around. And use this as a gateway to the continuation of her artistic practice. The reality of the distructive nature of air pollution on her health kicked in like a force of nature only 2 weeks after moving to the city.

So how to navigate a city that makes you ill beyond belief. What to do when walking around aimlessly becomes a health hazard. Pollution Walks is a personal research and attempt to finding strategies to live with air pollution. Instead of aimlessly walking around, these strategies became the dominant narrative when navigating the city, trying to reduce exposure to pollution as much as possible.

Karin created a series of maps. She attempted to plan the most ideal walks through the city in terms of avoiding pollution. The walk would go around each arrondissement and connect the route with all surrounding arrondissements based on her research on minimizing exposure to pollution. Avoiding as much as possible the boulevards and busy streets and focussing on the quiet streets and green spaces. The green lines would be relatively safe and quiet areas, the red lines show the most polluted boulevards and the orange lines indicated the larger radius around these arteries of pollution. As the orange cirkels on the map visualize, there where in fact many pollution infarcts presenting itself while planning the most ideal Pollution Walks around the arrondissements.

The title of his 8th studio album shares the same name as his hit song with Kane Brown, and it turns out there will be more famous friends on Famous Friends. The new project will include his collaborations with Kane, Lauren Alania, and Mitchell Tenpenny – as well as tracks featuring background vocals from Sarah Buxton, Hillary Lindsey and Dan + Shay‘s Shay Mooney.

Chris says it was working with all those stars that help solidify the album’s title, “There are so many incredibly talented artists, songwriters and producers – all friends of mine – who helped make this album possible. Having friends share their talents as collaborators, songwriters, producers and more, it’s only natural to call the album Famous Friends.”

Famous Friends will include, the title track, “Raised On Country,” “Drowning,” “Town Ain’t Big Enough” and 10 additional songs…

Famous Friends track list

01 – “Raised on Country”
02 – “Famous Friends” (with Kane Brown)

After announcing the album, fans were giving a new song to check out – “Rescue Me.”

Chris says, “I think ‘Rescue Me’ is such a cool twist on the typical love song concept. People were already falling in love with it just based off short social teases. It’s something special.”

Wearable Medical Sensor

When we go to the hospital, patients will be measured blood pressure and body temperature, but the data collected only once a year or two years, and often will be ignored.It will not attact attention until these results deviate from normal value.However, the thoughts and plan of biomedical researchers are ongoing monitoring of human health."There are much more sensors on cars than people." Snyder says. In the future, he hopes the situation will be reversed.People will wear more sensors than cars.

Consumers have bought a lot of wearable devices, including 50 million smart watches and 20 million fitness monitors.Most monitors monitor movement data.They can easily be adjusted into devices that can monitor health data directly.With precision medicine, everyone can know his or her dozens of normal standard data.Automatic data analysis can find unnormal data points, which represent health risks that require intervention, prevention, or treatment.

Traveling through time with Revelstoke film photographer Maxim Vidricaire

Maxime Vidricaire has been exploring the streets of Revelstoke with a 35mm camera by his side. Shooting with film, his nostalgic style creates images that attempt to take the viewer back in time. Classic cars, in conjunction with Revelstoke’s historic architecture, have allowed him to develop and progress his artistic style.

Vidricaire came to Revelstoke to temporarily escape a career in finance. He grew up moving around Quebec and Ontario in a skiing family, to a father who worked in the industry. After graduating from university, he began working in finance and would use his two weeks of vacation to come out west and ski here in Revelstoke.

After paying off his student loan, he decided to take some time off and moved to Revelstoke in Janyary 2021 for a season. In classic Revelstoke fashion, that wasn’t enough time, so he stuck around for the summer.

“It’s a really neat community,” said Vidricaire, who feels that the supportive nature amongst the locals has encouraged him to stick around.

Vidricaire started shooting on film about two years ago, to allow him to develop his own style.

“I used to look down on film photography. I thought it was for hipsters, now I’m one of those guys, I guess,” he joked.

It’s the mechanical feel of analog photography and the thought processing that comes with taking pictures on film that he said makes the experience worth it.

“I can slow things down and it forces me to think, ‘Is this shot worth it?’” he said. “I’m O.K. if my film doesn’t come back good. The first time it was like a punch in the face, but then it made me realize I’m in the moment first and the photo comes second. You’ve got to take risks to get rewarding stuff.”

Having grown up in the 90s and early 2000s, Vidricaire sets out to create art that reminds him of his childhood. The abundance of classic cars has given him a focus, but he said he is just as excited by an old sign or an old diner.

“I’m not into old cars like some people are. I don’t know the year or the engine type, I just like the aesthetics of it,” he said.

He also wants to take his style and start shooting other things like skating, and create shots reminiscent of skateboarding’s golden era, which he is considered to be the period of 1986 to 2004.

Walking around town, Vidricaire’s eye for spotting classic cars is well trained. On one block, he noticed three classic cars.

“I have to be way more deliberate with what I chose to exclude from a photo,” he explains while photographing a classic car in front of a downtown heritage home.

“The angles at which I can shoot is sometimes limited by newer cars that might take away from the feeling of nostalgia.”

Vidricaire has been posting his developed photo’s on the Revelstoke Community Facebook page for vehicle owners and others to see.

“I’m not particular about people taking my photos, I don’t want to put a big watermark in my photos and force people to buy it. I want people to want to buy it,” he said.

Vidricaire plans to stay in town until fall and see where life takes him from there. But he said he’s really encouraged by the local arts scene in town.

“After saving some money, I really wanted to hit reset, maybe start my own thing or switch careers to a company that I’m more passionate about,” he said. “Something more outdoorsy, something that I felt more connected to. I wanted to give myself time to think and make art.”

Vidricaire’s art can be viewed on his on Instagram page, @sixbao. His work is also available for purchase in print form or on t-shirts at

Hundreds of pro-refugee activists descended on Folkestone today (October 17) to stage a welcome event for asylum seekers housed in Napier Barracks.

The event was organised by Kent Refugee Action Network, with the aid of a variety of community groups including Channel Rescue and Folkestone Against Racism.

The barracks have become something of a flash point for pro and anti-refugee demonstrators since the Home Office commandeered the site in September.

Kent Police employed a large contingent of officers to monitor the demonstration that took place on the pavements opposite the barracks.

Although the event was largely peaceful, officers did have to arrest one person on suspicion of causing criminal damage.

The demonstrators walked up through the town and set up camp on the edge of the road where they played music and called to the camp residents.

Some activists brought banners and placards translated into other languages and some even brought gifts for the people inside.

'People don't understand why they've come here'

Jeremy attended the welcome event to show solidarity with the asylum seekers

Many of the activists had different personal reasons for attending the event.

Jeremy Hagues, 60, told us that he had been inspired to come and show his support after meeting the asylum seekers in town.

He said: “I’m here because I’ve met some of these guys already down in Folkestone and engaged with them and made them feel welcome.

“There are very few people in this country who understand why people are coming to this country.

"They’re not risking their lives to come here and claim meagre sums of money, they’re here to improve their lives.

“They’re fleeing from countries and regimes that endanger their lives and the lives of their children.

"England is a country built upon migration, we’ve always adapted and we’ve always benefited from it.”

'It's important to show we care'

The event was well attended by a variety of groups

Further down the path past the blazing speakers which are belting out ‘We are Family’, Becca Guinness, 35, and Lizzie Bailey, 24, explain that they have come down as it’s the "kind thing to do".

Lizzie said: “I think there’s too much hostility to refugees.

"If I turned up in a foreign country, not knowing where my feet were and feeling a bit lost, I would like to feel welcomed.

“I think showing our love and support for these people is really important.”

Becca and Lizzie think it's important to show Folkestone cares about the asylum seekers

Becca added: “We’re all human at the end of the day.

"If for example we were fleeing from our own country, it would be nice if we were welcomed in somewhere else.

“I think there might be misconception with all the far rights groups hanging around here that we all might be like that, so it’s important to show we care.”

'These people aren't the cause of our problems'

There was a large police presence in the area

Today’s event is the first large scale show of support to happen at the barracks since the asylum seekers were moved in at the end of September.

Since that time, far right activists have taken to prowling outside the barracks, filming and intimidating the camp mates.

Edward Traup, 65, said that this has helped to create a feeling of unjustified resentment towards the innocent people in the barracks.

Edward says Folkestone should welcome immigration

He said: “I’m here because I’m clearly a white British man but one who believes this country is built on immigration and diversity.

“I think it’s terrible what we are doing to demonise a small number of desperate people and pretend that they’re the cause of our problems.

“The problems faced by this country are from inside it, they’re not created by the desperate people fleeing here.”

'This is the real community'

Kent Refugee Action Network said they were delighted with the turnout

The event, on the whole, passed peacefully and ends shortly after 2pm with the crowds dispersing.

According to Bridget Chapman, one of Kent Refugee Action Network’s coordinators, the real Folkestone showed itself today.

She said: “I was absolutely delighted with how it turned out. For me it showed what I knew to be the case in that there is a lot of support locally for these people and refugees generally.

“We don’t get to hear their voices a lot of the time, instead we hear the myth from minority voices saying that these people are not welcome here and it’s simply not true.

“The people in the barracks were clearly pleased we were there, every time they leave they get harassed. I’m ashamed that that’s the impression they get of the local community who don’t represent it.

“Today is what the local community looks like to me.”

Watch our live Facebook video from the event below.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Specialist officers from Kent Police, who have a duty to facilitate peaceful events of this nature, were present throughout and there no major incidents of disorder.

"It was however necessary to arrest one person on suspicion of criminal damage and they have been taken into custody as part of ongoing enquiries."

Superintendent Amanda Tillotson added: "I would like to express my thanks to the vast majority of attendees, who were respectful of other people in attendance, the wider community and our officers.

"We recognise that events of this nature can cause some localised disruption which is an inconvenience for the surrounding community.

"Our specially trained and experienced officers were able to keep this to a minimum and we are appreciative of the understanding shown by residents."
