NT Live: Medea

Featured Image
Pics by Richard Hubert Smith

This is a shattering , explosively powerful performance that should perhaps come with a warning to allow time to recover afterwards.

In Ben Powers idiomatic translation from the ancient Greek there is no blank verse but it is still extremely powerful. Intriguingly, this is the first time that the National has presented MEDEA . The production is well directed by Carrie Cracknell.

Michaela Coel as the nurse , a member of Medea’s shrinking entourage,  opens the show with a chilling monologue that sets up everything that is to follow. Continue reading NT Live: Medea

1. Opinion

Column: Teachers with guns won't make our classrooms safer. Here's what would.

Anquan Boldin is co-founder of the Players Coalition and a former NFL player and 2015 Walter Payton Man of Year.
Anquan Boldin is co-founder of the Players Coalition and a former NFL player and 2015 Walter Payton Man of Year.
Published Apr. 17, 2019

While my professional career in the NFL took me across America, I'm still from the Sunshine State, where I was born and got my education, kindergarten to college. That's why I'm very concerned about Florida's SB 7030, and its companion, HB 7093. This bill purports to be about "school safety," but it would move our state in the wrong direction by actually making school kids in Florida less safe and less educated.

There is simply no research or evidence showing any school safety benefits from SB 7030's approaches — such as putting guns in the hands of teachers and school support staff, creating "threat assessment databases," installing anonymous reporting tools on all student laptops and creating workgroups that will harden our schools and increase surveillance of students. On Wednesday, the Senate rejected an amendment to SB 7030 that would have kept guns out of the hands of classroom teachers, but there is still time for both the House and Senate to get it right. However, right now HB 7093 goes farther by expanding zero tolerance referrals to law enforcement, which could include ordinary misbehaviors that are viewed as "threatening."

I'm thinking back on my days as a kid in Florida's schools, and I wonder — if these proposals were in effect back then, and I was rough-housing with my buddies — would I have ended up arrested, with my future prospects forever curtailed? Or if I was trash-talking on-line — saying "I'm gonna get you, now!" — would I end up in some "data base" accessible by law enforcement that then hindered my chances of graduation and later success? Or could I have ended up dead, at the hands of a scared, ill-trained and inexperienced gun-wielding educator? It gives me pause, and I hope it gives you pause, as well. Sadly, the data and research are pretty clear on one point: The kids most likely to be arrested in school, most likely to be considered a "threat" and most likely to be killed, are kids who look like I used to look and who look like my amazing sons, Anquan Jr. and Ashton now look — black and brown boys. I know I don't want my sons attending schools that put them under constant surveillance, infringe their privacy rights, chill their speech and associations, and increase their risk of being caught up in the criminal justice system. I don't want that for any of Florida's children.

And I'm strongly opposed to the idea of taking precious Florida education resources that could reduce class sizes and support other approaches that improve our kids' chances of success, in order to fund these unproven "school safety" approaches. Resources for our kids' education are already far short of what's needed — such a reduction in funding for education just does not make any sense to me.

So, if SB 7030 isn't the answer, how could we actually make every student in Florida safer? Well, more than 250,000 Florida students attend schools without counselors, and no district meets the recommended student to counselor ratio of 250:1. So could Florida hire more counselors and other mental health professionals, to more effectively address mental health challenges our students are experiencing, before kids start to lash out at others? Students today are more likely to die of suicide than homicide; could Florida take real action to meaningfully address that threat to our kids' lives? We keep hiring more police officers in schools, but — apart from mental health crisis intervention training — there's actually no minimum required training for police working in our schools. Could Florida take action on that? The Legislature needs to protect every student's safety.

Keith Ellison honors Earth Day by introducing atrazine ban

In honor of Earth Day, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) introduced a bill to ban the pesticide atrazine. Atrazine is an endocrine disruptor and carcinogen.

This means it will mess with your body’s hormones and raise your chances of contracting cancer. For example, evidence shows that atrazine present in water systems from runoff neuters frogs. It is one of many reasons that the word’s frog population is dying off.

Sadly, it ain’t just the frogs who react to atrazine. Atrazine is still widely used throughout the US. So, thank you, Keith.

Last year, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) released a report linking atrazine to adverse health effects in humans and animals.  Specifically, atrazine is associated with infertility, low birth weight, and abnormal infant development in humans.  Despite these harmful linkages, atrazine provides only moderate agricultural benefits.  For example, the US Department of Agriculture estimates that an atrazine ban would result in crop losses of only 1.19 percent.

“Banning atrazine is the most effective way for us to keep our rivers and drinking water safe from toxic pesticides and this bill is a great first step toward achieving that,” stated NRDC attorney Mae Wu.

The pesticide is currently banned in the European Union and faces calls for greater regulatory scrutiny in the United States.

Atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide in US waters and the most prevalent found in Minnesota waters.  The U.S. Geological Survey found atrazine in approximately 75 percent of stream waters and 40 percent of ground waters sampled near agricultural areas.  An estimated 33 million Americans have been exposed to atrazine through drinking water.

There are some consoles and games technologies that really stand out in the history of gaming. Here are the landmarks that are the best and most important for me.

This is where it all started. Yes, modern gaming goes back to the time of Pong in the early 1970s. Pong might seem like a rudimentary and dull game to modern gamers, but it was a real revelation 40 years ago. And without this simple table tennis style game, some of the later innovations in the world of gaming would not have been possible. And, as anyone who has actually played Pong will know, the game is still pretty addictive and fun to play even now. It took the form of an arcade game, but the next generation of arcade machines took an even greater leap forward.

Arcade Machines

The golden age of arcade games was between 1978 and 1986. In the post-Pong gaming world, the new generation of gamers were looking for something else, something a little more interesting and expansive. And the golden age really kicked off with the introduction of Space Invaders in 1978. With the success of Space Invaders, arcade machines started to become mainstream. They were in shopping centres, convenience stores, bars and restaurants all over the world. Then game Pac-Man, the other iconic game of that time.

Nintendo Gameboy

In 1989, the Nintendo Gameboy took gaming and put it in the palm of your hand. You didn’t have to stand in front of a 6-foot arcade machine any longer, you could carry your games console in your pocket. For a lot of people, their first experience of playing games was with the Gameboy. It also established the model for selling games for handheld devices that continues to this day. Nintendo went on to produce the Gameboy Color, the Color SP and then the Nintendo DS emerged and thrives still today.

Image Source

Playstation 2

The simple reason why the Playstation 2 has to rank on this list is because it remains the best-selling games console in history. Yes, more people had a PS2 at its height than any games console that’s followed it. It was a real breakthrough in gaming. It was released in 2000; a new console for the new millennium. It was better than all of its rivals, which included the Xbox, Gamecube and Sega Dreamcast. It offered graphics better than anything that had been seen in games before. My L-shaped desk that I use for gaming still has a PS2 sitting on it, and I only keep the consoles I really love!

Xbox 360

The next great advance in gaming technology arrived with the Xbox 360. In terms of hardware, there was nothing particularly exciting about the console. Yes, it had better graphics, and it was certainly the best games console that Microsoft had released to date. But what made it important was Xbox Live. This meant that for the first time, people could play games online, connect with friends and take multiplayer gaming to a new level entirely. It set the standard for the time of gaming we’ve all become used to over the last decade.

Its not a question of having to many servers but what each server is doing and the bandwidth being used.

I am hoping you use intelligent switches and you can monitor bandwidth through each switch and port.

I would start monitoring bandwidth to see where your issue resides.

How are your severs setup on the netowrk. Do they use Gig switch ports, do you have dual nics being utilized in your servers?

Audit Committee Charter

The Audit Committee ("Committee") is the principal agent of the Board of Directors in overseeing the Company's accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of the Company's financial statements and internal controls, including:

  • Assisting in the Board’s oversight of the (i) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, (ii) the Company’s compliance with ethical, legal and regulatory requirements, and (iii) the qualifications and performance of the Company’s internal audit function; and
  • Preparing the report required to be prepared by the Committee pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement.

The Committee’s responsibility is oversight, and it recognizes that the Company’s management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements. Additionally, the Committee recognizes that financial management (including the internal audit staff), as well as the independent accountants, have more knowledge and more detailed information about the Company than do the members of the Committee, who are not employees of the Company; consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities the Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Company’s financial statements or any professional certification as to the independent accountants’ work.

Committee Composition

The membership of the Committee shall consist of at least three members of the Board of Directors, one of whom shall be appointed by the Board to serve as Chair of the Committee.  The Committee shall be comprised solely of members who are independent Directors as determined by the Board under the standards set forth in the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards.  The members shall be appointed or removed by a majority of the Board of Directors.  No member of the Committee may receive any compensation, consulting, advisory or other fee from the Company, other than Board compensation, as determined in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules. Members serving on the Committee are limited to serving on two other audit committees of public companies, unless the Board of Directors evaluates and determines that these other commitments would not impair his or her effective service to the Company. In accordance with NYSE and SEC rules, all members shall be “financially literate” and at least one member shall be an “audit committee financial expert” with “accounting or related financial management expertise.”

Primary Committee Responsibilities

Financial Reporting

  1. Review and discuss with management and the Company’s independent accountants the annual audited financial statements and quarterly unaudited financial statements, including disclosures under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, prior to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC, and recommend to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Form 10-K filing.
  2. Direct the independent accountants to review before filing with the SEC the Company’s interim financial statements included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, using applicable professional standards and procedures for conducting such review.
  3. Discuss with management and the independent accountants (1) all critical accounting policies and practices used, (2) any significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, including analyses of the effects of alternative accounting methods under GAAP that have been discussed with management and the treatment preferred by the independent accountants, (3) the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives and off-balance sheet structures on the Company’s financial statements, and (4) any other reports required by law to be delivered by the independent accountants, including any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences.
  4. Review on a regular basis with the Company’s independent accountants any problems or difficulties encountered by the independent accountants in the course of any audit work, including management’s response with respect thereto, any restrictions on the scope of the independent accountants’ activities or on access to requested information, and any significant disagreements between management.  The Committee will resolve any disagreements between management and the independent accountants regarding financial reporting.
  5. Review earnings press releases, as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided by the Company to analysts and rating agencies prior to public disclosure.  Such discussions may be general (consisting of discussing the types of information to be disclosed and the types of presentations to be made), and each earnings release or each instance in which the Company provides earnings guidance need not be discussed in advance.

Independent Accountants

  1. Be directly responsible for the appointment, retention and oversight of an independent registered public accounting firm to act as the Company’s independent accountants with the sole authority to retain or terminate such firm.  The independent accountants shall report directly to the Committee.
  2. Review and, in its sole discretion, approve in advance the engagement of the independent accountants on an annual basis, including the proposed fees, as well as all audit and non-audit engagements and relationships between the Company and the independent accountants.
  3. Appoint, retain, compensate, oversee and terminate, if necessary, any other registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for Teradata Corporation.
  4. Pre-approve all auditing and non-auditing services provided to the Company by its independent accountants and, if necessary, any other registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for Teradata Corporation or its subsidiaries, to the extent required by applicable law. The Committee may delegate the authority to grant pre-approval of auditing or permitted non-audit services to one or more members of the Committee. Any pre-approvals granted by such Committee member(s) will be presented to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting for ratification.
  5. At least annually, obtain and review a report by the Company’s independent accountants describing (1) the firm’s internal quality-control procedures, (2) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review (or peer review) of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, regarding one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues, and (3) all relationships between the independent accountants and the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
  6. At least annually, evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the Company’s independent accountants, including an evaluation of the lead audit partner; and assure that a process is in place regarding the regular rotation of the lead audit partner at the Company’s independent accountants and consider rotation of the accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent accountants.
  7. Establish and maintain a policy regarding the Company’s hiring of individuals employed or formerly employed by the Company’s independent accountants.

Annual Audits

  1. Review the annual audit plan of the independent accountants, including the scope of audit activities, and monitor the audits’ progress and results.
  2. Review with the independent accountants the results of the annual audits and obtain assurance from the independent accountants that the audits were conducted in a manner consistent with Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
  3. Discuss with the Company’s independent accountants the matters required to be discussed under applicable accounting and auditing professional standards or applicable regulations, including auditing standards adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board which shall include PCAOB Auditing Standards Nos. 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees) and 2410 (Related Parties).

Internal Controls and Risk Assessment

  1. Review annually the charter, structure, resources, budget, audit scope and plan of the internal auditors and compliance with the Institute of Internal Auditor’s Standards for Professional Practice of Internal Auditing. Oversee the selection and replacement of the lead internal auditor with responsibility for the internal audit function of the Company who shall report administratively to the Company’s Chief Finance Officer and functionally to the Committee.
  2. Review with the independent accountants, the internal auditors, and management as appropriate, the internal audit scope and plan, the results of internal audit activities, and the adequacy of internal controls and the Company’s financial accounting and reporting processes, which shall include a review of major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in the Company’s selection and application of accounting principles and major issues as to the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of identified deficiencies.

Canada to get 2 million Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine doses as provinces expand rollouts

The shots represent the only expected shipments in what should be a quiet week of vaccine arrivals

Canada is scheduled to receive two million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine this week as provinces continue to ramp up their immunization efforts.

The two million shots represent the only expected shipments in what should be a comparatively quiet week of vaccine arrivals after Moderna delivered one million doses ahead of schedule last week.

The next shipment of Moderna jabs isn’t due until next week, while the federal government has not said when Canada will receive more doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca or Johnson and Johnson vaccines.

The arrival of more Pfizer-BioNTech shots comes as British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec are set to expand the list of people eligible for vaccines over the next seven days.

The expansions are due largely to the steady supply of vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech, which are slated to deliver two million doses a week through the month of May before increasing the weekly figure to 2.4 million in June.

Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military officer overseeing the federal government’s vaccine distribution effort, said last week that Canada was expecting another 650,000 AstraZeneca shots from the COVAX initiative.

The exact delivery schedule, however, has yet to be finalized.

Canada has also been in negotiations with the United States for more AstraZeneca doses after President Joe Biden suggested last month that Washington may release some of its unused stockpile.

Those talks come amid questions about the AstraZeneca shot, which has been linked to a new and very rare vaccine-induced blood clotting syndrome.

Twelve cases had been confirmed in Canada after about two million doses given as of Friday. Three people have died.

The AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson vaccines use a similar technology, while the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna shots use a new technology dubbed mRNA.

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization last week recommended that Canadians who aren’t at high risk from COVID-19 may want to wait until a dose of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna is available.

That prompted allegations that NACI was sowing the seeds of confusion and vaccine hesitancy.

Alberta and other parts of Canada remain mired in the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, even as hospitalization rates have started to tick downward in provinces such as Ontario and Quebec.

Many parts of the country face tight restrictions, with schools closed across Ontario and Alberta and patios shut down in Montreal, Toronto and — as of this Monday — Calgary.

Provinces reported 265,509 new vaccinations administered on Sunday for a total of 15,917,555 doses given.

Nationwide, 1,248,931 people or 3.3 per cent of the population had been fully vaccinated. The provinces have administered doses at a rate of 41,999.627 per 100,000.

Liberals, Law Enforcement Officers And Even Donald Trump Come Together On Criminal Justice Reform

“People realize that the pendulum swung too far.”

By Rhonda Fanning & Jill AmentNovember 15, 2018 10:30 am,

It’s something you don’t hear often in the news: President Donald Trump is endorsing a measure that has the support of Democrats and Republicans in Congress. This rare occasion for bipartisanship represents what some consider the biggest overhaul to the nation’s criminal justice system in recent memory.

Shaila Dewaun is national criminal justice editor for The New York Times. She says the bill would help people leaving prison with reentry into the outside world, including providing money for education and treatment programs.

“Another major thing it does is soften some sentences, some mandatory minimums. There were some three-strikes provisions that it will lower,” Dewaun says.

The bill would also address lingering disparities in the way offenders are sentenced for crimes involving crack and cocaine.

The push for criminal justice reform has been ongoing for years, with cooperation among Democrats and Republicans. Dewaun says the crime rate has decreased in the past 20 years, causing many people to be less strident in their demands for harsh punishments. The opioid crisis, too, has played a role.

“The opioid crisis has made people a lot more familiar with how drug addiction is criminalized,” Dewaun says. “And a lot of people who didn’t think about this before are saying, ‘Now, we shouldn’t be putting people in prison for this, we should be giving them treatment.'”

Supporters of the new bill include the Libertarian Koch brothers, progressive criminal justice advocates and even cultural personality Kim Kardashian. Dewaun says law enforcement has gotten behind the effort, as well.

“People realize that the pendulum swung too far,” Dewaun says.

The phrase “tough on crime,” she says, is being replaced by “right on crime” or “smart on crime.”

Written by Shelly Brisbin.

Note; A previous version of this post indicated that the Center for American Progress is a supporter of the criminal justice reform initiative. The group has taken no official position on this proposal.

Sheppard Air Force Base lifting COVID-19 restrictions

Local News

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — For nearly eight decades Sheppard remains the backbone of the Wichita Falls economy, and despite COVID-related difficulties or delays, base officials say they were still able to reach Sheppard’s mission of achieving success.

“One thing that we couldn’t do was to stop training here at Sheppard Air Force Base,” said Brig. Gen. Kenyon Bell Installation Commander.

Navigating the pandemic was no easy task for anyone over the last year. And was also the case in 2020 at Sheppard Air Force Base.

“It takes engaged leadership to make that happen,” said Bell.

Leadership like Lt. Col. Parkhill, Operational Medical Readiness Squadron Commander.

“Our day today I’m in charge of all active duty health care so my mission is to ensure that all active-duty members reserve and guard that are stationed here at Sheppard air force base are ready to fight,” said Lt. Col. 82nd operational medical readiness squadron commander, Elisha Parkhill.

Life on the base looked a little different a year ago than it does now.

“So what we ended up doing here was putting some unique rules in place. Some of our classroom environment, teaching whereas we had folks primarily on a day shift operation, moving it to a swing shift operation. We tried to spread things out more as best we could,” said Bell.

These new rules were set in place to still guarantee successful training at Sheppard.

“The future is bright at Sheppard Airforce Base,” said Parkhill.

And although not fully back to the pre-pandemic environment on base, Sheppard officials hope to be back there soon. Find out more about their upcoming events here.

The Native Translator Ihr Übersetzungsbüro

Impeccable quality guaranteed!

As an ISO 17100-certified translation agency, we provide a quality guarantee with all our translations.

What is quality?

Opens external link in new windowWikipedia defines quality as the inherent value of objects, subjects or activities. Value is somewhat subjective and is often entirely dependent upon the individual. The same applies to translation quality. In order to measure the quality of a translation, we first need to define is what is a good translation.

This involves concepts such as target groups, terminology, semantics, syntax, style, etc. In short, one person’s excellent text can be another’s bad text if it is not tailored toward the particular recipient. Target group customization, and hence the choice of terminology, is extremely important. Which is why it is important that, when ordering a translation, you inform us of the target audience for the text and the level of language to be applied to the translation. "He talks to peasants in the way of farmers, but with learned men in Latin" wrote a wise man (Erik Axel Karlfeldt).

The correct translator for your assignment

All our translators have at least a university graduate degree, and many even have PhDs. This means that they have very good linguistic skills, specialist knowledge and generally a very high level of education. This is a prerequisite for providing the highest quality translations. That said, each translation task requires a translator that is both stylistically and terminologically suited to the person who will read the text. Texts can be both too difficult and too simple.

Correct translator for each subject

We choose every translator with care; i.e. a translator with excellent knowledge of the source language and the target language as his/her native language. He/she shall also be a specialist in the subject area in which you need help; e.g. Opens internal link in current windowOpens internal link in current windowlaw/patents, Opens internal link in current windowmedical, Opens internal link in current windowfinance, Opens internal link in current windowmarketing/PR, Opens internal link in current windowIT/technology/engineering or Opens internal link in current windowtourism.

When we say that we use translators who are specialized in particular fields, we mean that he/she has specialist training as a translator in that field, or has professional experience in the field. No matter what, the translator will have the skills required to deliver a professional translation that meets, in all respects, very high standards, both in terms of language and terminology.

What is a good translation?

A translated text must reflect the meaning and tone of the original document - it must be a mirror image, in a new language. It is undoubtedly a challenge that, in addition to the content, the "feeling" of the document must also be translated. Only translators with the target language as their mother tongue, and with very good knowledge of the original language and subject of the text, can achieve this.

As an ISO 17100-certified translation agency, we guarantee the highest quality translations. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us. So, if you are dissatisfied with your translation for any reason, we will translate your text again from start to finish. Please note that no translation can be better than the original text.

City Utility Billing to Resume Normal Processes

Delinquent Notices and Non-payment Disconnects Begin Immediately-

KINGMAN, Ariz. – As of June 2, 2021, the City of Kingman Utility Billing Department has resumed sending delinquent notices on past due bills, and will resume non-pay disconnects June 14, 2021. Approximately 2700 notices were sent yesterday. Delinquent and non-payment disconnect fees are still being waived until July 1, 2021.

Multiple assistance agencies are available to assist customers who are unable to pay their utility bills:

River Cities United Way https://www.rcuw.org/covid-19-personal-relief-fund-application/ (928) 855-6333
New Life 419 Harrison St. (928) 753-1909
St. Vincent De Paul 218 E. Beale St. (928) 753-6449 or

(855) 433-4989
Mohave County Community Services https://des.az.gov/ERAP (928) 753-0723

The City of Kingman Utility Billing Department had suspended delinquent notices and fees over a year ago, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The city began disconnecting water service for non-payment on a routine basis beginning in mid-January 2021, for those customers who were not on a payment plan, were delinquent more than 50 days, and had a past due balance of more than $400. In January 2021, the city had 1,520 delinquent accounts with a total amount past due of $162,013; those statistics don’t include customers who were on payment plans with the city, or those who were receiving assistance from any of the above agencies. The city had paused service disconnections during the city’s cyberattack, which is still under investigation. The last time the city ran disconnections was back in February, with these following statistics:

Date of Disconnect # of Accounts Disconnected Average Days Past Due Average Past Due Amount Owed
2/1/2021 23 95 $242.98
2/2/2021 33 310 $281.24
2/23/21 29 145 $201.32
2/24/21 23 221 $141.45

Don't Believe a Word: The Surprising Truth About Language (Kobo eBook)

Don't Believe a Word: The Surprising Truth About Language Cover Image
Available Now

A linguist’s entertaining and highly informed guide to what languages are and how they function.

Think you know language? Think again.

  • There are languages that change when your mother-in-law is present.
  • The language you speak could make you more prone to accidents.
  • Swear words are produced in a special part of your brain.

Over the past few decades, we have reached new frontiers of linguistic knowledge. Linguists can now explain how and why language changes, describe its structures, and map its activity in the brain. But despite these advances, much of what people believe about language is based on folklore, instinct, or hearsay. We imagine a word’s origin is it’s “true” meaning, that foreign languages are full of “untranslatable” words, or that grammatical mistakes undermine English.

In Don’t Believe A Word, linguist David Shariatmadari takes us on a mind-boggling journey through the science of language, urging us to abandon our prejudices in a bid to uncover the (far more interesting) truth about what we do with words.

Exploding nine widely held myths about language while introducing us to some of the fundamental insights of modern linguistics, Shariatmadari is an energetic guide to the beauty and quirkiness of humanity’s greatest achievement.

Agony, also known as Liquid Pain, is exactly what it claims to be: the distillation of pain and suffering by magical means into a drug. The resulting substance is a thick, reddish liquid resembling blood only more viscous.

It is highly prized among certain extra-planar beings, who can use it to feel pleasures greater than they are otherwise able. Side effects of Agony include an initial stunning effect that incapacitates the user for a brief period and leaves them groggy for a time after that. Curiously, it also makes them more attractive to anyone around them for a period lasting anywhere from one to eight hours.

Agony would likely be a drug of great addiction among demons, devils and their ilk, were it not for the fact that an overdose causes unconsciousness, which means that the effects are wasted instead of the users.

Ceramic vases and silk-screen prints

This series of work is inspired by the diversity and playfulness of natural pattern on animal skin, and the animal’s protective capacity to blend in with its environment to confound the viewer. Simone Perrotte’s intention is therefore to create a dialogue between an object and its background, suggesting the presence of an unexpected creature hidden in the landscape of a dream. The rule of the game of making is simple: using the same principle of variation in repetition.

Simone_PerrotteThe moulding process allows her to cast simple “eggshells” of clay, which are then cut and assembled, evoking the way that a living body is made from the multiplication of cells. Cutting directly into coloured transfer paper gives her the possibility to create graphic patterns, freely improvising with the rhythm of the ceramic form to adorn it. Finally, similar to the moulding process, screen-printing is used as a “matrix” to reproduce an image on paper, but the changes of direction, colour, and layering allows her to recompose new variations of a theme. Moving from one medium to another, from a ceramic volume to a flat sheet of paper suggests new enriching visions and experiments.

Simone received her MA in Ceramics from the Royal College of Art in 2012.

How to Make an Icebox Cake, the Ultimate Summer Dessert

No baking required

When it comes to easy no-bake desserts, icebox cakes are right at the top of the list. And the genius is in their simplicity. Just a few ingredients transform into a spectacularly delicious dessert — all without turning on the oven.

Easy Dessert Recipes You Can Make With 5 Ingredients or Fewer

There are a few ways to go about making an icebox cake. You can make it extra special by using a springform cake pan and showcasing it on a pedestal when it's all done, or you can just layer and serve it right out of a rectangular pan. But no matter what you use to hold it, the method is all the same.

The basic foundation for any icebox cake isn’t actually cake — it's alternating layers of cookies and fresh whipped cream in a cake pan, which is refrigerated until it’s set.

For the cookies, you can use Oreos, chocolate wafers, vanilla wafers, graham crackers or even chocolate chip cookies. Next is the whipped cream, which you can infuse with different flavors or mix with add-ins, fresh fruit, nuts or toppings.

While it sits in the refrigerator, the cookies or graham crackers soften just enough to be tender like cake, marrying perfectly with the whipped cream to create something that looks like an impressive layered torte.

Some flavor combinations to try include chocolate wafers and whipped cream, vanilla wafers with lemon whipped cream or graham crackers, whipped cream with strawberries folded in. You really can't go wrong.

To make an icebox cake, follow the basic recipe below:

3 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or any flavoring you want

1 package wafers or graham cracker

In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat or it will turn to butter.

Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom of a springform pan or any pan you’re using, then top with an even layer of cookies.

Spread more whipped cream on top of cookies and repeat the layering process until you have at least four layers of cookies.

Spread the last layer of whipped cream on top and smooth it out. Refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight.

When it’s time to serve, garnish and serve by the slice.

Icebox cakes are just one of many vintage recipes that you shouldn’t forget about.

Chinese Woman Starved to Death in Elevator, Residents Horrified

March 7, 2016 Updated: March 7, 2016

A Chinese woman in Xi’an was found dead inside an elevator a month after it was improperly switched off, according to reports this week.

The woman’s death sparked backlash on Chinese social media websites, including the ever-popular Weibo. Some opined that there is lax building management, namely regarding elevators and escalators. In China, there is a rising fear of escalators after several high-profile accidents have left people dead or maimed.

After her death was reported and subsequently went viral, people gathered to protest.

“The management did nothing,” read one of the banners held up by a resident, according to The New York Times.”She was in the elevator dead for over a month before being found.”

The woman who died has not yet been identified. The elevator had been turned off by maintenance workers on Jan. 30, and her body was only found when workers arrived on March 1.

There were markings all over the inside of the elevator, it’s just too horrible.
— Mr. Wang, resident

Other tenants sounded off on the death.

Others believed that she starved to death inside the lift. The woman’s hands were mangled during her apparent attempts to escape the elevator.

“The paramedics told us that when they found the body, her hand had already begun to deform,” a resident surnamed Wang said, reported Shanghaiist. “There were markings all over the inside of the elevator, it’s just too horrible.”

“The scene was inhumane,” said Xiaolin, another tenant.

Now, two maintenance workers face charges for negligence. They were called in to deal with a broken cable and knocked on the door, and when they heard no response, they cut power to the elevator and told residents to use another lift in the meantime. The workers came back weeks later and discovered the grisly scene.

“There’s now a shadow across my heart. It’s scary, and it gives me shivers,” one resident with the surname Ding said, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “To think of this happening in one’s own building.”

It’s unclear how the woman, who is believed to be in her 40s, went missing for one month without friends or family getting worried. She lived by herself in the building.
