‘Tis the XXXXXX to be XXXXX

British actors Richard Lyntton and your author
British actors Richard Lyntton and your author

I’ve just done a very agreeable gig with fellow Brit, Richard Lyntton. Chatting aimiably, made me nostalgic …

At this time of year my thoughts naturally turn to a theatrical form which is immensely popular in my native England but doesn’t seem to work either in the land of my extended family, Australia, nor to have caught on in my adopted homeland, the USA. It’s a Victorian invention really, along with trifle and the commercialization of Christmas. Having said that, there are traditions in the form that can be traced to the medieval miracle plays, and to the later broad style of Commedia D’ell Arte. I refer, of course, to pantomime.

I once played a broker’s man by the name of ‘Snachit’, one of the double act, Snachit & Grabbit, first cousins to the law firm, Sue’em, Grabbit ‘n Runne also related to practicing attorneys at law, Woppit, Upham ‘n Gasp.

The Dame (female character) was played by the late, great John Moffatt (Male actor as tradition requires), who was also the author. A man of consummate technique, it was a privilege to watch him turn a line like:

John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot
John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot

Dame: (Horrified) Sell?! (Appalled) Our cow?! (Heartbroken on the verge of tears) Miranda??? … (Suddenly turning avaricious) How much d’you think we’d get for her?

Panto, as British readers will know, turns on a contra-sexual universe where it seems only the Fairy Queen and the the Demon King keep their given genders. Dames and Ugly Sisters are always played by men, Principal Boys (e.g.; Jack in Jack & the Beanstalk) always by dazzlingly attractive young women.

For non-British readers who may be confused, I recommend a year’s subscription to Private Eye, the British equivalent of the American, Onion newspaper. Private Eye explains much in British life that is puzzling.

But I digress.

I started out to tell you that this year Santa brought me the chance to play a telling cameo in a new (spin-off) TV series. The series has been announced but details are fairly hush hush. To such an extent that I never actually got to read the full script of the episode, and therefore had only the sketchiest idea of my character – who he was and what he had for breakfast – and before you ask, yes, I admit, sometimes it’s like that onstage too.

Ryan Eggold, Me, Famke Janssen, Richard Lyntton
Ryan Eggold, Me, Famke Janssen, Richard Lyntton

Fortunately the stars of the show were extremely generous and hospitable and were able to quickly clear up any confusion that I had, actually reversing my understanding of the character, the scene and the show in a few brisk sentences.

These details aside, I am able to report as follows:

I played, xxxxxxxx the man xxxxxxxxxxxx in the xxxxxxxx where xxxxxx and xxx come to  xxxxx  the xxx

The story xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx my character, xxxxxxxxx in a tryst with, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Then, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at the climax, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx just when xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx a helicopter xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and then, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx finally revealing xxxxxxxxxx

Great story, right? – Oh! I forgot to mention …

Just when xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at which point xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to the amazement of xxxxxxxxxx

Well I’m sorry if that’s spoilt the episode for you. Just pretend you never read this blog.

Me as xxxxxx in xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx
Me as xxxxxx in xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx

And as you see from this photo, my character looks pretty shifty.

But I don’t think it gives anything away, do you?

Merry Christmas and a xxxxxxxxxxxxx !

Iraq: Washington pushes for end to dependence on Iranian energy

The US has urged Iraqi authorities to put an end to the country’s dependence on Iran for energy as the White House seeks to replace Iranian suppliers with American companies, The New Arab reports.

“The time has come for Iraq to break its dependence on others and move forward toward true energy independence,” said US Secretary of Energy, Rick Perry after meeting with top Iraqi officials in Baghdad and in the Kurdish region on Tuesday to discuss US investment in Iraq.

The US has given a waiver to Iraq to continue temporarily importing energy from Iran despite new US sanctions on the Islamic Republic after President Donald Trump tore in May the 2015 nuclear accord between Iran and world powers.

Iraq, during the 45-day waiver, will look for alternative energy sources.

The Middle East country, one of world’s leading oil exporters, highly dependends on Iran for its energy needs.

US firms, Perry said, were prepared to help Iraq develop its own energy sector, the London-based media reports.

Giving Grace during The Pandemic

It is one of our main social responsibility as a company to ensure the welfare of our employees, especially during these hard times caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic which affect many of us. In this given opportunity, one of our major partners reached us and offered to distribute some grace in forms of essential food supplies to all of our 250 employees as a sign of gratitude, respect & support during these hard times.

We were really grateful for our partner’s support during these times, because we know that it’s really important for our employees to get all of the support they can get during the pandemic, which impacted all of us in a really hard way. As our sign of gratitude, we helped our partner through preparing the distribution system in advance to ensure the safety during the event.

During the grace distribution, we implemented social distancing protocol as safety measures, in order to ensure that everyone received their share of grace and always stay healthy afterwards.

From this event, we hoped that this support from our major partner can make our employees feel more helped and enlightened in fulfilling their essential daily needs, especially during these hard times. It is also hoped that our employees will feel more motivated in their daily life, and we hope that this pandemic will be over soon in the foreseeable future.

We would like to say Thank You Very Much to our partner for their generous support & trust towards us during these times!

Happy Halloween!

Kids Trick Or Treat In Halloween Costume And Face Mask. Children

BOO! It’s Covid! The spookiest thing about Halloween this year may in fact be the potential transmission of Covid-19. And while the general public isn’t particularly concerned for the health of the children trick-or-treating, as it relates to the coronavirus, it’s important that guidelines be set and rules enforced so that we can protect the elderly and vulnerable these children will likely come in contact with. Keep in mind though, children have had a rough year, (to say the least,) and despite the recommendations outlined below, it’s important that kids have fun and experience some sense of holiday normalcy, if only to reduce their anxiety surrounding the current state of affairs and to assure them that we can all still have a great time while protecting others.

As it turns out, many Halloween costumes (kind of) comply with Covid regulations! I’m talking about those that include masks and gloves. However, please note that surgical grade masks should still be worn under the costume masks, and for anyone who’s get-up does not include a mask, a regular mask should be worn as well. And while it’s unclear to what extent touching objects can spread Covid-19, hey! Why not wear those gloves?? It’ll create a touchless experience that may make others feel more comfortable!

Candy Distribution:

Alright! This is a biggie; where to begin??? There are SO many ways in which this simple act can turn into a corona-fest! The crowds at the doorsteps, the hand-to-hand candy distribution, or even the big bowls of candy on the stoop that hundreds of little hands dig into… But there are ways around this, in which you can stay safe and healthy and still give all those trick-or-treaters the fun and treats they deserve.

If you are a parent taking your child around this weekend, be conscious of the crowds on the block. Stay 6 feet away from the next family, and only allow your child to approach a house if there is no other family at the door. Hopefully your neighbors will take a cue from you and everyone will respectfully wait for the family before them to go on their merry way.

If you are the treat giver there are options… Either you can place a small table in front of your house and lay out each individual candy so that each child only has to touch what they are taking, or if you’d really like to be original, there are those who plan to go so far as to build chutes out of PVC pipes, which would come from the front window of their homes, and through which they can send down individual candies straight into the basket of the trick-or-treaters. If you manage that, I have a feeling you may have to do it forever as it seems infinitely more fun than any other method of candy distribution I’ve seen yet:)

Finally, be sure to only give out individually wrapped candies. As I mentioned previously, while it’s unclear whether there’s significant transmission from touch, better to be safe than sorry and quickly wipe down all the candy wrappers once you get home.

Unfortunately, having a block party or getting together with friends is a no-no this year. However, there are so many activities you can do indoors with your very own family that’ll make this Halloween just as fun as last year’s.

1. Movie night is always fun! Pick the scariest kid-friendly movie you know and settle down with some popcorn and drinks.

2. Virtual costume parties are certainly an option. Get together with friends or family on any online video chat service to show off costumes and even play games!

3. Pumpkin carving is another safe idea provided that the parents do the actual carving once the kids draw the faces. You can then roast the pumpkin seeds and perhaps enjoy them with your movie or virtual costume party!

4. If your family is into scavenger hunts you can create one in your very own yard or inside your house. You can also give your child a list a Halloween themed objects to look for while going trick-or-treating!

As you can see, Halloween will go on!!! It may not be the same as you remember it from year to year, but it can still be loads of fun and most importantly SAFE! Your local nurse does not want to see you or any of your loved ones come in for corona related complications so let’s each do our part and hopefully next year, (or I should say by Thanksgiving!) we’ll all be back to regular programming!

Gene discovery reveals importance of eating your greens

Gene discovery reveals importance of eating your greens
Ms Lucie Rankin (left) and Dr Joanna Groom were part of a team that discovered innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play a crucial role in controlling food allergies, inflammation, obesity and even bowel cancers.

(Medical Xpress)—Eating your greens may be even more important that previously thought, with the discovery that an immune cell population essential for intestinal health could be controlled by leafy greens in your diet.

The , named innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), are found in the lining of the and protect the body from 'bad' bacteria in the intestine. They are also believed to play an important role in controlling food allergies, and obesity, and may even prevent the development of bowel cancers.

Dr Gabrielle Belz, Ms Lucie Rankin, Dr Joanna Groom and colleagues from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute's Molecular Immunology division have discovered the gene T-bet is essential for producing a population of these critical immune cells and that the gene responds to signals in the food we eat.

Dr Belz said the research team revealed T-bet was essential for generating a subset of ILCs which is a newly discovered cell type that protects the body against infections entering through the digestive system. "In this study, we discovered that T-bet is the key gene that instructs to develop into ILCs, which it does in response to signals in the food we eat and to bacteria in the gut," Dr Belz said. "ILCs are essential for of the digestive system and this is the first time that we have identified a gene responsible for the production of ILCs."

The research was published today in the journal .

Dr Belz said that the proteins in green leafy (cruciferous) vegetables are known to interact with a that switches on T-bet, and might play a role in producing these critical immune cells. "Proteins in these could be part of the same signalling pathway that is used by T-bet to produce ILCs," Dr Belz said. "We are very interested in looking at how the products of these vegetables are able to talk to T-bet to make ILCs, which will give us more insight into how the food we eat influences our immune system and gut bacteria."

ILCs are essential for maintaining the delicate balance between tolerance, immunity and inflammation. Ms Rankin said the discovery had given the research team further insight into external factors responsible for ILC activation. "Until recently, it has been difficult to isolate or produce ILCs," Ms Rankin said. "So we are very excited about the prospect for future research on these cells which are still poorly understood."

ILCs produce a hormone called interleukin-22 (IL-22), which can protect the body from invading bacteria, Dr Belz said. "Our research shows that, without the gene T-bet, the body is more susceptible to bacterial infections that enter through the digestive system. This suggests that boosting ILCs in the gut may aid in the treatment of these bacterial infections," she said.

ILCs help to maintain a 'healthy' environment in the intestine by promoting good bacteria and healing small wounds and abrasions that are common in the tissues of the gut. They may also have a role in resolving cancerous lesions. "The discovery of these immune cells has thrown open a completely new way of looking at gut biology," Dr Belz said. "We are just starting to understand how important these immune cells are in regulating allergy and inflammation, and the implications for bowel cancer and other gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease," she said.

"Understanding the biology of ILCs and the genes that are essential for generating them will help us to develop methods of targeting these cells," Dr Belz said. "This might include boosting ILCs in situations where they may not be active enough, such as infections or some cancers, or depleting them in situations where they are overactive, such as chronic inflammatory disease," she said.

This project was supported by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, the Sylvia and Charles Viertel Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Victorian Government.

Brazilian researchers’ finding that exercising in the evening reduces blood pressure more than in the morning can help health professionals choose the time of day for aerobic training depending on the type of anti-hypertensive drug they take. Credit: Leandro Campos de Brito / EEEF-USP

Researchers in the University of São Paulo's School of Physical Education and Sports (EEFE-USP) in Brazil compared the effect of two widely used classes of anti-hypertensive drugs on post-exercise hypotension, an expected and beneficial fall in blood pressure after a session of aerobic exercise, especially in the late afternoon or early evening.

According to the researchers, the findings of their study can help health professionals choose the most beneficial time of day for patients to undergo physical therapy depending on the type of drug used to treat their high .

The strategy could be particularly advantageous for patients who do not respond well to treatment with medication. "People with resistant hypertension, who take three or more types of drug, preferably including a diuretic, or four drugs or even more, without achieving the desired level of control may benefit by switching their to late in the day, subject to confirmation by further research," said Leandro Campos de Brito, a postdoctoral researcher at EEFE-USP's Exercise Hemodynamics Laboratory with a scholarship from FAPESP. Brito's research supervisor is Professor Cláudia Lúcia de Moraes Forjaz.

In this study, which was supported by FAPESP, the researchers compared the effect of angiotensin-2 receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) on patients who performed morning and evening exercise sessions.

Post-exercise blood fell 11 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) in the evening and 6 mmHg in the morning on average in the group that took ARBs, and 6 mmHg and 8 mmHg respectively in the group that took ACEIs. Thus there was a difference of almost 50% in the evening values, while the morning values showed a similar drop for both groups.

The findings are published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Hypertension.

"Our hypothesis was that ACEIs attenuate post-exercise hypotension, especially in the evening," Brito said. "Our observation was that ACEIs did indeed attenuate the expected hypotensive effect of exercise in the evening, while ARBs did not."

The researchers reached this conclusion after submitting 29 men treated for with either ACEIs or ARBs for at least four months to two maximal cardiopulmonary exercise tests using a stationary ergometer exercise bicycle with increments of 15 watts per minute until they were unable to continue. The sessions took place from 7 am to 9 am and from 8 pm to 10 pm on two different days with an interval of three to seven days between sessions. The order of execution was randomly determined, and the evaluators did not know which type of drug each volunteer was taking. Blood pressure was measured in the pre-exercise period and in the post-exercise period after 30 minutes of recovery.

Differences between ACEIs and ARBs

ACEIs and ARBs act on the same hypertension pathway by regulating angiotensin-2, a hormone that causes vasoconstriction (contracts the blood vessels) and raises blood pressure. The mechanisms are different, however. "Think of two freeways running alongside each other," Brito said. ARBs block angiotensin-2 receptors in blood vessels. ACEIs inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting angiotensin-1 into angiotensin-2.

"The one permits angiotensin-2's natural behavior in 24 hours but blocks its action. The other inhibits that behavior. In addition, by inhibiting this enzyme ACEIs chronically favor a different pathway that generates bradykinin and angiotensin-(1-7), both of which are vasodilators. Given that vasodilation has already been facilitated by the drug, this could reduce the vasodilatory effect of aerobic exercise, the main driver of the fall in blood pressure when the exercise training is performed in the evening," Brito said.

For this very reason, this drug class was expected to attenuate post-exercise hypotension, especially in the evening. The study did not set out to investigate the mechanism that causes the difference.

Influence of time of day

The study was part of Brito's Ph.D. research to estimate the effect of ten weeks of aerobic training at different times of day, concluding that the results were best in the evening. "In this study, we compared subjects treated with drugs for high blood pressure who performed exercise in the morning and others who trained in the evening," Brito said.

Researchers have increasingly discovered significant variations depending on the time of day. "Our organism is guided by the circadian cycle, and blood pressure is no exception. The mechanisms that lower BP are more active in the evening to prepare us for rest, while those that raise it are more active in the morning when we wake up," Brito explained. "In other words, our theory is that the evening is a window of opportunity to achieve significant reductions."

Effects can be long-lasting

Anyone who does aerobic exercise should experience some degree of hypotension afterwards, but in people with high blood pressure, the drop is more significant. "Systolic pressure falls by 5 to 10 mmHg on average, and diastolic pressure by 4 to 6 mmHg, without negative symptoms such as nausea, lightheadedness or blurred vision," Brito said.

One exercise session is sufficient to produce a degree of cardiovascular protection, as studies have shown that the reduction can last all day. "Moreover, some research groups believe each exercise session acts like one brick in a wall in the sense that training has a chronic beneficial effect," he said.

In 2018, Brito and colleagues published a review article favoring this hypothesis in the Journal of the American Society of Hypertension.

Practical application

One of the strengths of this latest study is that the participants had been taking the medications for some time and the researchers were able to analyze the data in the patients' usual clinical context. "Other studies along these lines follow the 'washout' model, in which the patient is required to stop taking the medication for a period," Brito said.

Another positive point is that the scientists who measured the participants' pressure after the sessions did not know which drug they were taking. This enhances the study's credibility and favors the practical application of its findings.

Unlike the rest of the curriculum, Student Selected Components (SSC's) offer students the chance to choose what they study. They also allow us the opportunity to drive innovation across the curriculum. Some of the SSC's on offer are designed as an extension to material in the 'core' course whilst others allow wider study to broaden overall perspective as a doctor. Although the SSC outcomes mapped to 'Tomorrow's Doctors' (2009) are covered in other areas of the curriculum, SSC's provide an additional learning environment to nurture these broader skills required to graduate as a medical professional. A list of subject areas is provided below, with a brief introduction. More information on the rationale and selection process is given in the Handbook, along with more details of each SSC. Each SSC is assessed separately and must be passed in order to progress, and assessment criteria are also described in the Handbook.

To view the complete mapping of the MB ChB curriculum towards 'Outcome for Graduates' (2015) outcomes use the MB ChB Learning Outcomes Matrix.

SSC Handbook

This SSC aims to allow students to demonstrate intellectual development through exploring a subject of their choice in depth. It will also allow development of skills in presentation, particularly post presentation.

At the end of the Dermatology SSC, students will be able to describe the basic anatomical structure of the skin and relationships between the layers of the skin (epidermis, dermis and subcutis) and its appendages (hair follicles and glands). They will also be able to demonstrate understanding of the following:

  • the structure and function of the skin and its associated organs, and their development

  • the complex relationships with other organ systems of the body and the consequences of skin organ failure (for example in toxic epidermal necrolysis and erythrodema).

  • the mechanisms by which the integrity of the dermoepidermal junction is maintained and the results of the failure of this mechanism (e.g. epidermolysis bullosaand acquired autoimmune disorders)

  • skin pigmentation, the development of melanocytes and the development and maturation of melanocytic naevi and the features of carcinogenic change in these lesions (e.g. melanoma)

  • the importance of skin as an immunological organ and the role of individual cell types in the cutaneous immune system (e.g. contact dermatitis, psoriasis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis)

  • the process of wound healing and the clinical implications for failure of wound healing (e.g. scars and fibrosis)

  • the social and psychological role of the skin (particularly in disfigurement and mental health issues)

The major aims of this option are to engage tomorrow's doctors, collectively and as individuals,

  • with the humanistic dimensions of the study and practice of medicine;
  • with a range of striking visual and textual treatments of matters of medical importance--for example,
    • human suffering and the effects of disease, pain and bereavement at both the individual and societal level
    • medical breakthroughs and the ethical dilemmas they pose;
  • with the developing history of the medical profession in Britain since the Enlightenment;
  • with the importance of visual and/or verbal storytelling in communicating health narratives and inculcating compassion

At the end of the Medical Law and Ethics SSC, students will be able to identify key legal issues as related  to  current healthcare practice in the UK, as well as identifying ethical issues which affect healthcare on a global dimension, in particular the advancement of biotechnology and its role in society.

This SSC aims to prepare students for the challenges facing all healthcare systems. The curriculum informed by core areas identified by the NHS Leadership Academy in their healthcare leadership model, and provides medical students with the opportunity to acquire an overview of principles of healthcare management and leadership. This will enable future graduates to develop an understanding of issues related the administration and leadership of international healthcare systems, with a particular emphasis on the NHS. Students will gain insight into the values that underpin effective health service management, such as critical thinking, as well as the impact of economic, environmental, social, technological, political, legal and ethical concerns.

The Medical School is able to offer a limited number of projects to students who wish to gain practical experience in laboratory methods, including (but not limited to) histology, microscopy, biochemistry, and cellular and molecular techniques. A list of projects and supervisors will be made available, and supervisors will provide mentorship for the duration of the project.

Tasty Tip Tuesday: Crisp Greens

Is there anything worse than a warm salad or limp greens? Me thinks not.

Speaking of warm salads…

The way I like to prepare my salads is a way I learned while nannying. I rinse off the leaves of the lettuce, rip it up into a glass or steel bowl and make sure to dry well (use a salad spinner if you have one. Those things are a must with salads.)

Then get a paper damp damp with water, lay it over the salad and set it in the fridge or the crisper for a couple hours.

White Trash...literally!

If I know I’m having salad for dinner, I throw everything in the salad bowl (save for the dressing, of course), put the paper towel on top and let it sit in the fridge like that all day. The salad is nice and cold and crispy for dinner. Just take it out, remove the paper towel, toss and dress!

You’ll have icy cold, crisp greens. Ah, thank you!

William Spurstowe, 1666:  MEDITATION XXXIX
Upon the Bucket and the Wheel

The saying of Democritus which he spoke concerning the philosophical truth that it did you hide itself and take up it’s about in and deep well may much more be affirmative theological truth when the whole doctrine of the gospel is called the mystery of Christ and the great mystery of godliness that there should be three distinct persons in one essence [the Trinity] and two distinct natures and one person [the Incarnation]. That virginity should conceive, Eternity be born; immortality die and mortality rise from death to life. Are not these, and many more of the like intricacies, unparalleled mysteries? Maybe not justly say, As the Samaritan woman did to our savior when he asked water of her, the well is deep, and who can descend into it, or fathom it?

And yet such is the pride and arrogance he of many men, as that, not contending themselves with the simplicity of believing, many make reason the sole standard where by to measure both the principles and conclusions of faith — for which it [reason] is is unapt as the weak of a bat hold the sun when it shines in its full strength; or the bill of a small bird to receive the ocean.

These high mysteries are not to be scanned, but to be believed; the knowledge and certainty of which does not arise from the evidence of reason from the revelation made of them in the Holy Scriptures; the mouth of God — who is truth itself and cannot lie, has spoken them, and therefore it cannot be otherwise.

But must then reason be wholly shut out as a useless thing in the Christian religion, are must it be confined to the agenda matters of duty and morality, In which you cannot be denied to be both of necessity and constant use? Surely even the creeds, also the doctrines and points which are properly of the faith, do not refuse to sober use of reason, so it be employed as a handmaid and not as mistress.

I have therefore thought that faith is as the bucket, which can best to send you this deep well of mystery and that reason is as the wheel, which stands ever the mouth of it, and keeps always its certain and fixed distance: but yet by its motion is instrumental both to let down the bucket and also to draw up again.

Faith discovers the deep things of God, then reason teaches us to submit ourselves and it to the obedience of faith that so it is. But never becomes more foolish and dangerous then when it busies itself and inquiries, and makes Nicodemus question, How can these things be? Then it turns giddy and loses itself in distracted and motions.

Alas, how unlike the ways and councils of God if they were no other but such as the wisest of men could trace out? How little glory with faith also give to God, if it did not pour forth its strength in asserting his power to affect greater things than can fall within the compass of natural disquisition? Yea, how could the Gospel be acquitted of the Jews stumbling at it, as dishonorable to their law? And the Gentiles derided as absurd in their philosophy, if that reason must be the measure of its mysteries?

Nature is so far from finding out what the gospel discovers, as that he cannot yield on to it, when it is revealed without a spirit of faith to assist it.

Be wise therefore, oh Christians, and set the bounds to your reason, beyond which it may not pass: as Moses did to the Israelites, while faith descends into the deeps of Gospel Mysteries, which angels with stretched out next have a more desire to pry into than ability perfectly to understand.

Now the boundary of reason is, confer and infer: to confer one scripture with another; and to infer conclusions, and to decide instructions thence, buy a clear logical discourse. But if you go further to gays, it may justly fear to be smitten of God, and like the pioneer or bold miner who digs into far for his rich vein of ore meet with a damp which chokes him.

My prayer therefore Shelby that of the apostles to Christ
Adde nobis fidem: Lord Increase our faith.

For if my faith do not exceed my reason, though advanced as high as a pitch as her Solomon had, yet might I well be numbered among those, whom St. Peter said are blind and cannot see far off.

Introduction: Memory Passages

Chapter One: East and West Germany in the Postwar Years: Will Lammert and Gerson Fehrenbach

Chapter One analyzes the ways in which postwar attitudes in both countries coalesced around specific memorials. Will Lammert’s Burdened Woman (1959) demonstrates that while the GDR struggled to memorialize the Holocaust and relied on Christian themes disguised as socialist ideals in works of art, Lammert returned to expressionism to memorialize the dead. The Münchener Strasse Synagogue Monument (then West Berlin, 1963) was commissioned by the Schöne-berg Borough Assembly. It is dedicated to the destruction of that synagogue on Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass; when thousands of synagogues and Jewish businesses were destroyed), but the language on the accompanying plaque is vague and speaks to the difficulty of addressing the destruction in an outright way.

Chapter Two: A Forgotten Memorial and Philadelphia’s Survivors: Nathan Rapoport’s Monument to the Six Million Martyrs (1964)

Chapter Two addresses an early public monument to the Holocaust in North America that has been all but absent in the literature. A close examination of archives demonstrates the ways in which survivors bonded together in the postwar years to ensure the lasting memory of the six million Jewish Holocaust victims. In 1961 the Philadelphia Holocaust Memorial Committee commissioned sculptor Nathan Rapoport, the sculptor of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Monument (1948) and Yad Vashem’s Wall of Remembrance (1976), to create a sculpture dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust.

A version of this chapter was previously published in the Journal of Jewish Identities.

Chapter Three: Monuments to Deported Jews in Hamburg (Hrdlicka, Rückreim, and Kahl) and East Berlin (Will Lammert) A version of this chapter was previously published Chapter Three: Monuments to Deported Jews in Hamburg (Hrdlicka, Rückreim, and Kahl) and East Berlin (Will Lammert)

This chapter presents memorials in the GDR and the FRG. In the GDR, Will Lammert originally designed the figures in what is now known as the Monument to the Deported Jews in Berlin (1985) as part of the Ravensbrück monument (see Chapter 1). The Ravensbrück commission, however, rejected these figures. Nonetheless, the Lammert family cast the sculptures in bronze and put them into storage. In 1985, the artist’s grandson installed them in Mitte, Berlin, at a time when the GDR was rethinking this neighborhood as worthy of retaining its original architectural features—as well as its Jewish past. Known as the Memorial to Victims of Fascism in 1985, the sculptural group came to be known as Monument to the Deported Jews in the 1990s, after unification, when “victims of Fascism” no longer resonated in unified Germany.

Meanwhile, in the FRG, monuments in Hamburg Dammtor attempt to address the National Socialist past but stylistically fall short of their goals: one monument was never completed, another is easily overlooked, and the third often is overgrown with weeds. Nonetheless, grassroots organizing for the monuments demonstrates the commitment of the neighborhood to confront the past.

A version of this chapter was previously published in Images: A Journal of Jewish Arts and Culture.

Chapter Four: Memorial Functions: Shapiro, Kelly, LeWitt, and Serra at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (1993)

Works by Joel Shapiro, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, and Richard Serra are the focus of this chapter, which explains the historical context of the commissions and the fact that, in 1993, a visual language with which to address the Holocaust had not yet been developed in the United States. Analyses of previous works of art by the artists that address the Holocaust, and the ways in which the works’ interact with the architecture of the building, add to the literature on this museum.

Chapter Five: Walking Through Stelae: Peter Eisenman’s Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (2005)

This internationally-recognized memorial is presented through the lens of sculptor Richard Serra’s input into the original model (the artist withdrew his participation in the project). The memorial became a watershed in Holocaust memorialization, especially for its vast field of stelae that provides spaces to walk, encouraging disorientation and individual memory work. I turn to Michel de Certeau and Henri Bergson to theorize memory and perambulation.

Conclusion: Andy Goldsworthy: Nature and Memory at the New York Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial

This chapter investigates the role of natural materials in a memorial by an environmental artist. The MJH in New York City is dedicated to Jewish life before, during, and after the Holocaust and seeks to tell the history of American Jewry in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries through the eyes of those who lived it. Goldsworthy’s Garden of Stones represents a departure in Holocaust memorial making by introducing natural materials that change over time. I analyze the work as a “social sculpture” by interpreting it through the lens of Joseph Beuys and his 1982 project, Aktion 7000 Eichen (Action 7,000 Oaks, commonly referred to as 7,000 Oaks), thereby highlighting the memorial’s role in engaging the viewer and promoting healing for survivors.

We build tools that enable

the next generation of 3D pipelines.

We’re a dynamic team of engineers, software developers, and 3D artists with a vision of becoming a global leader in developing tools that enable the next generation of 3D content.

How we started

We started as a 3D visualization and AR/VR service agency in 2016, helping companies in engineering, manufacturing, architecture, and aerospace drive business value using immersive technologies.

Working on different client projects we came across many large and complex CAD files, and discovered how tedious and error-prone the data preparation pipeline for real-time visualization is. This motivated us to start building our own automated pipelines to streamline this process and increase efficiency.

Meshmatic was born

While building on our own internal optimization pipelines, we quickly realized this was a solution we could further develop and share with other 3D teams facing the same challenges. And so, Meshmatic was born – a tool to automate tedious optimization tasks like deleting and instancing duplicate assets, and preparing 3D files for real-time visualization.

An industry standard

As we continue to develop Meshmatic, we are constantly inspired by the innovative projects our clients are working on, and the emergence of new tools and technologies. We have our eyes set on the big and bright future of the 3D industry and will continue to build Meshmatic into a standard tool that will add tremendous value to the entire industry.

Our values

We like to lead the way in innovations related to 3D and graphic computing. We never settle for old ways of doing things and are constantly looking to learn and improve. We look out into the market for the next big innovations and build tools to make pipelines more efficient.

Customer commitment

We believe that we succeed when our customers do. We enjoy building relationships with our customers and learning about their projects. We have been in their shoes and know exactly what challenges they face every day. That’s why our customers trust us and our expertise.

Great things in businesses are never done by one person, they are done by a team of people. We truly believe in this and we’ve seen it firsthand. When a group of people with unique skills come together to challenge and inspire each other every day, great things can be achieved.

Some Resources For Developing Your Prayer Life

Below are some books & resources that we recommend as tools for developing a habit of daily prayer and time in the Scriptures. We intentionally keep this list very short. Feel free to give us some suggestions or to contact us if you would like more recommendations. Thanks.

Our Daily Office Prayerbook (Advent-Eastertide 2019-2020)
The new Prayerbooks are available. Order yours NOW!.

For those who prefer the printed page over the “screen,” we offer our Daily Office Prayerbooks. These books correspond with the podcast offered here on the website each day. Which means that all of the figuring out what part to do next has been taken care of already. On Tuesday morning (for example), you simply open to the section titled “Tuesday Morning Prayer.” Pretty simple.

You can click on the image below to see a pdf preview of (an older version of) the book.

a link to the daily office prayerbook for morning, mid-day, and evening prayer
HERE and HERE are two images of an actual copy of the prayerbook.

$14.75 USD (shipping included)

For orders of more than 10 books, please contact us for a discounted price.

Our Daily Readings For The Christian Year

A handy little pocket size (4″x6″) copy of our Daily Office Lectionary. This booklet is perfect for the person who is just looking for a way to stay in the Scriptures each day in a systematic way.

Read through the most of the Bible in one, two, three, or four years. Read through whole books of the Bible in a continuous fashion. Have Old Testament readings that speak into the New Testament reading. Have New Testament readings that make sense of the Old Testament reading. Read along with the liturgical life of the Church. Plus, if your church uses the 1979 BCP or the RCL lectionary on Sundays, then your daily readings will also take you deeper into the Sunday lessons. Our Daily Office lectionary does all these things.

Beginning To Pray

by Anthony Bloom

This is certainly the best book on prayer that you’ve probably never heard of and one of the best books there is on the subject. It’s a yearly reader. But, although it is written for beginners (as the name suggests), it is not an easy book. In our fast, active, chatty worlds, this book will stretch you in ways that are terribly uncomfortable. The Introduction alone, which is an interview with Metropolitan Anthony, is far richer, deeper, and moving toward the Gospel of Christ than most every other book that has been written in the past few years combined.

a link to the book Beginning To Pray by Anthony Bloom

ANTHONY BLOOM – son of a Russian diplomat, physician, monk and archbishop of the Russian Orthodox Church in Great Britain – earned the respect and affection of countless people worldwide because of his deep humanity and tireless witness to the Gospel. Although he died in 2003 at the age of 89, he continues to offer guidance in the spiritual life through his writings.

The Rule of St. Benedict

by Benedict of Nursia

Benedict begins what he calls his “little rule written for beginners” by saying, “This message of mine is for you, then, if you are ready to give up your own will, once and for all, and armed with the strong and noble weapons of obedience to do battle for the true King, Christ the Lord.”

This very short book is historically foundational for the prayer life of every western Christian. So much of our life would far more greatly glorify our Savior if we were able to have even one conversation salted with as much Holy Scripture as any randomly chosen paragraph from Benedict’s rule.

Even normal, everyday folks who aren’t planning on becoming monks (most of us here) will find that most of what Benedict discusses is valuable in our un-monk, work-a-day lives.

a link to The Rule of St. Benedict

For fifteen centuries Benedictine monasticism has been governed by a Rule that is at once strong enough to instill order and yet flexible enough to have relevance fifteen hundred years later.

Monk Habits For Everyday People

by Dennis Okholm

This is a great book, easy to read, and very helpful in thinking through reasonable ways for normal, everyday folks to cultivate a deeper and more devout prayer life.

a link to the book Monk Habits, a book to help everyday people develop a deeper prayer life

In their zeal for reform, early Protestant leaders tended to throw out Saint Benedict with the holy water. That is a mistake, writes Dennis Okholm, in Monk Habits for Everyday People. While on retreat in a Benedictine abbey, the author, a professor who was raised as a Pentecostal and a Baptist, observed how the meditative and ordered life of a monk lifted Jesus’ teachings off the printed page and put them into daily practice. Vital aspects of devotion, humility, obedience, hospitality, and evangelism took on new clarity and meaning. Paralleling that experience, Okholm guides the reader on a focused and instructive journey that can revitalize the devotional life of any Christian who wants to slow down and dig deeper.

Perception as Synthesis?

Posted in Friendly Philosophy, and Life

While checking some audio-books-on-CD, to make sure I was returning all the right discs to the library, I noticed something odd.

The slip covers/pages/whatever that the CDs are stored in (so you can flip through to the CD you’re looking for) are usually plastic and transparent. However, the audio book whose CDs I happened to be looking through used a kind of cloth mesh. The holes in the mesh were small and circular, but you couldn’t see through the cloth itself (only through the holes).

The problem with this is that you could not read the numbers on the discs (to make sure you were returning all eight, say) without pulling out the CD. You could see that the number was there, but the holes weren’t large enough or close enough together to be able to tell which number it was.

However, as you slid each CD out, the numbers on the discs became apparent through the holes before the CD had even exited the slip cover/pouch/thing. The numeral printed on each CD would pass beneath enough holes that enough parts of it would become apparent for you to be able to tell what the numeral was.

It was as if the opaque cloth (with holes punched in it) became transparent because what was behind it was moving, and thus what was behind it was being exposed in enough different ways to make it visible.

I suppose the standard interpretation of this is that we synthesize together each “frame” in such a visual experience to “construct” a “representation” of the number on the disc. This kind of interpretation goes back at least to the Empiricists.

I, however, am a Husserlian, so I begin with the assumption that we experience wholes first, and then articulate them into their parts. I wonder if I could find a way to interpret the experience just described in this standard Husserlian way.
