Cory Hecht Explores Human Body Movements
"The main goal of my research was to use a mathematical lens to better understand how our brain and nervous system function with respect to movement and movement patterns," explains Cory Hecht, a 2017 graduate with majors in math and BOS (Business, Organizations & Society).
Recently, he began a four-month internship at IFAST (Indianapolis Fitness & Sports Training) and entered a Doctor of Physical Therapy program in Fall 2018.
"Is there something you are passionate about? One of the driving forces behind your research will be your intrinsic motivation to learn more about the subject. If you have something you think is worth pursuing and want to learn more, absolutely go for it."
As a Marshall Scholar, Cory received a grant and was able to create his own research project with the help of advisor and math Associate Professor Christina Weaver. Their project, "A Scientific Approach to a Movement-Based Lifestyle," used dynamical systems theory, a branch of mathematics that seeks to enhance understanding of complex behaviors, such as human movement. Cory extracted the major themes from the models he studied and created general principles that can enhance movement protocols in a clinical setting or for one's own movement practice, such as an exercise program.
"This research was a great way to see how the mathematics we covered in class (MAT471, Nonlinear Dynamics) relates to Cory's broader interests. He took on this project after I taught MAT471 for the first time," says Prof. Weaver, "so it was exciting to see that, right away, one of my students was using the course material to think about a passion of his own, fitness and body motion, in a new way."
"The biggest takeaway from the project was learning how to take something complex, that you have been studying for a while, and presenting it in a way that an audience with no background on the subject can understand," Cory remarks. "As a physical therapist, I will have to effectively communicate rehabilitation protocols as well as exercises to my patients in a way they both understand and are motivated by. Using scientific jargon will not always be the best approach. This research project was good practice in framing complicated material in a way a diverse group can understand and take something away from."
Says Cory, "During this project I had to come up with my own questions I wanted more concrete answers to, which I found were frequently changing throughout the course of the project. I then researched and put it together in a way that coincided with the end goals of the project. This was a daunting task at first, but has helped me learn how to work more independently and tackle more open-ended questions that do not have a definitive starting point."
"Once the goal is established, do not be afraid of asking the big open-ended questions in an attempt to get closer to an answer."
The main application that can benefit from this research occurs in the approach to addressing movement issues that lead to pain or injuries. "Many of the models we studied looked at how movement patterns can change depending on our environment, intentions and learning," describes Cory. "This provided some insight into how each individual's brain and nervous system changes as they learn or recreate movement patterns. Essentially, all of our brains are wired differently based on the movements we've performed throughout our lives. As a more comprehensive understanding of this is established on both a macroscopic (actual movement) and microscopic (tissue, cellular, muscular, etc.) level, more effective and individualized protocols can continue to be implemented to help people move more efficiently and increase their bodies longevity. The end goal is to live a pain-free and healthy life for as a long as possible."
Prof. Weaver comments, "Research relationships like this are a wonderful way for me to unite who I am as a classroom teacher with who I am as a researcher. It also helps me to see the mathematics with fresh eyes, and sometimes even understand it better. And it is so rewarding to see a student build their own connections between mathematics and the real world!
"Normally, when students have approached me for research projects," remarks the math professor, "the projects have been directly related to my own research. The Marshall Fellows Program enables students to design projects that fit their interests. So for the first time I encouraged Cory to design a unique project of his own. It also helped me to know Cory better. At the outset, I knew Cory as a double major in math and BOS, who was also an F&M athlete. By the end, I got to know how these majors and his interest in fitness inform his world-view. Now I'm eager to see him succeed in physical therapy school, as I know that he will!"

The sinful men who killed Egyptian soldiers at Iftar during the holy month of Ramadan in Rafah and when the Brotherhood was still in power are the same sinful men who killed other Egyptian soldiers and wounded dozens of others in the recent Arish operation. The two operations cannot be separated and we can rather say that the aim of the first operation was to keep the army away from the arena. When these men lost control over the country's capabilities they lost their temper and launched their terrorist operations aimed at nothing else other than to kill, destroy and sabotage.
I am not directing accusations at anyone in particular in the Brotherhood movement. I am rather directing the accusation to the entire Brotherhood – to those who colluded and remained silent, to those who lurked and to those who wanted to distance the Egyptian army and people and control the country in order to establish their alleged caliphate which is not any different than the caliphate of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), with the only difference between the image they put forward.
The Arish terrorist attack that killed Egyptian soldiers and civilians proves once more that this is our battle, as army and people. We are all in one trench against a blind terrorist organization that recognizes no one but itself, worshiping only itself and its ignorant doctrines that don't recognize humanity and patriotism. Such organizations sacrifice anything to reach their aims and thus target civilians and army personnel by placing bombs in restaurants and on trains and buses. They thus contradict their statements that they only target the police and army. They have once more awakened us to the fact that the enemy does not differentiate between an Egyptian civilian and an Egyptian military recruit. These groups have always been against the Egyptian people, regardless of their status.
The Arish terrorist attack that killed Egyptian soldiers and civilians proves once more that this is our battle, as army and people.Abdel Latif el-Menawy
For Egyptian, the battle ahead will be a long one. It's a battle to build the country and a battle against blind terrorism.Abdel Latif el-Menawy

As part of its vision to enhance relationships with all members of the South St. Paul Public Schools (SSPPS) community, the SSP School Board plans to host a series of community engagement sessions throughout the year. The focus of these sessions is to offer opportunities for district residents to get to know the school board and one another outside of the formal school board meeting setting through a variety of engagement methods and conversations.
The SSP School Board is pleased to announce its first community engagement session on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
Tuesday, Dec. 3, 20196-7:30 p.m.SSP Secondary School, Media Center Classroom
The session will be facilitated by Dr. Raj Sethuraju, assistant professor in the School of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice at Metro State University. The conversation will utilize the restorative circles method in an effort to explore common values, develop relationships and build community within South St. Paul.
What are Restorative Circles?
A circle is a versatile restorative practice that can be used proactively to develop relationships and build community, or it can be used reactively to respond to wrongdoing, conflicts and problems. Circles give people an opportunity to speak and listen to one another in an atmosphere of safety, decorum and equality.
Why should I attend?
Through participation in this session, attendees will not only help shape build relationships with the school board and their neighbors, but they will also gain a useful strategy that can help them prepare for future actions or decisions, or to navigate challenging conversations.
To help us plan for this parent conversation, participants are asked to please RSVP on this form.
For questions about this parent conversation or about the series, contact email@example.com or call Susan Brott, director of communications, at (651) 552-5563.

WHEY is a liquid by-product of cheese manufacture. Removing the water results in Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) Powder, WPC is the most efficient protein for the human body. Research has shown that, of all protein sources, WPC is digested and absorbed better than any other protein.
Many consider Whey Protein Concentrate as the economical source of protein, great for athletes with low budgets, or those who need large amounts of protein every day. Read our flyer to learn more…
|Finally, Pure Whey Protein Concentrate!
by a member from Treasure Coast, FL on Apr 18, 2014
|Been looking for a Pure Whey Protein Concentrate powder, and finally found it at Nurtri.com! Was frustrated looking at the ingredient lists on all the whey protein bottles at the food stores, and most were full of additives. Nutri's Whey Concentrate is very pure and very neutral tasting. When you add Nutri's Whey, cocoa and stevia in the blender - you get a chocolate shake. When you add frozen raspberries you get a raspberry shake - whatever you add to it flavors it. Very simple. Saw Dr. Weil's recommendation for Nutri's Vit. C and am glad I found their Whey Protein powder.

House Democrat IT Suspects Wanted Untraceable Payments…
…And Sure Enough, Millions Disappeared
Luke Rosiak – 07/05/2017
A Pakistani family under criminal investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police for abusing their access to the House of Representatives information technology (IT) system may have engaged in myriad other questionable schemes besides allegedly placing "ghost employees" on the congressional payroll.
Imran Awan, his wife Hina, and brothers Abid and Jamal collectively netted more than $4 million in salary as IT administrators for House Democrats between 2009 and 2017. Yet the absence of signs of wealth displayed among them raise questions such as was the money sent overseas or did something other than paychecks motivate their actions?
Capitol Police revoked the Awans' access to the congressional IT system in February 2017 after a major data breach was detected. Their access had allowed them to read emails and files of dozens of members, including many serving on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
House Democrats have been nonchalant about the allegations, with some saying it was just a misunderstanding or the Capitol Police framed the Awans due to Islamophobia.
The Awans share modest homes, drive unremarkable cars and report little in the way of assets on congressional disclosures. The family owns significant amounts of Virginia rental properties, which are heavily financed, with second mortgages sometimes taken out. It's unclear where the rental income goes because the Awans insist tenants pay in odd ways.
The Daily Caller News foundation interviewed multiple current and former tenants who said Imran insisted rent be paid in untraceable ways. Many of those TheDCNF interviewed about the Awans asked not to be identified for fear of suffering retaliation by the family, particularly renters to whose homes Imran has keys.
"He only wants cash — for the security deposit, everything. The mortgage is probably $600, we pay $1,800 a month," one said.
"I would write the rent to all sorts of different people," another claimed. While still another tenant said the family insisted on blank money orders.
Those interviewed also were puzzled that Congress kept the Awans on the payroll full-time when the family spent months of the year in Pakistan.
The four Awans were each making approximately $160,000 a year on Capitol Hill. Other House IT workers told TheDCNF that the Awans appeared to hold no-show jobs, with bare-bones services provided, and it appeared one person was doing the work for the rest of them.

Info for 12 Little Spells (Deluxe Edition)
'12 Little Spells' finds Spalding conjuring in the medium of musical creation, through an exploration of the body, human energy and healing. Working alongside Esperanza on this project are visual artist Carmen Daneshmandi, opera/theater director Elkhanah Pulitzer, wardrobe specialist Diego Montoya and video artist Ethan Samuel Young. Each collaborator is creating key elements of '12 Little Spells' without hearing any music, having only the project title and spell names as inspiration.
In the coming days, Esperanza will also reveal details of a series of 12 pop-up shows. Each performance will focus on a single spell and feature an explosion of music and words, color and movement. No two events will be the same. The performances will be recorded for a live concert film that will be released next year. Exclusive limited music and items will be available only at these shows, with a full deluxe package to be released by Concord Records in 2019.
'12 Little Spells' arrives just one year after 'Exposure,' in which Spalding composed and recorded a new album entirely from scratch in just 77 hours, while livestreaming every minute of the process to the world. In 2016 she released 'Emily's D+ Evolution,' which earned her a Pitchfork Best New Music review, inclusion on several year-end critics lists, and appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show, Real Time with Bill Maher and beyond.
'12 Little Spells' was composed by Esperanza Spalding. It features Spalding on vocals, Matthew Stevens on guitar, Justin Tyson on drums, Aaron Burnett on saxophone, Burniss Travis on bass, Corey King on background vocals and Rob Schwimmer on continuum.

Esperanza Spalding
"Ms. Spalding is still enamored of Wayne Shorter's harmonic depth and Stevie Wonder's melodic lift, but her frame of reference has broadened in salutary ways: 'Funk Your Fear' ha(s) the serpentine gnarl of a Funkadelic anthem, and 'Noble Nobles' brazenly evoke(s) Hejira-era Joni Mitchell."--NY Times
"...a fresh artistic vision for the four-time Grammy winner, a daring tapestry of music, vibrant imagery, performance art and stage design."--Ebony
"Emily's D+Evolution is more than a recording project, it's an awakening of her inner child. It's an audio portrait stretching Spalding beyond music and into storytelling through acting, staging, and movement."--Amy Poehler's Smart Girls
Seven collaborative and five solo albums into her career at 31, Esperanza Spalding has always resolutely, intuitively, deftly expanded upon both her art and herself as a world-renowned genre- bending composer, bassist and vocalist. Spalding's work, grounded in jazz traditions but never bound by them, has won her four Grammy awards and brought her onstage at the Oscars, the Nobel Prize Ceremony, the White House, and with Prince and Herbie Hancock. Not only does she know who she is, we know who she is.
Or, rather, we think we do. The elastic self and work of a true artist is always changing; ideas are channeled, shape-shifting becomes necessary. Emily's D+Evolution (pronounced "d plus evolution") is where we meet Emily--both Esperanza's middle name and the label for the spirit- muse that flows through this multi-dimensional, theatrical performance artwork wrapped in a brilliantly urgent, vivacious record. With 6 tracks co-produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie) and drawing, at times, from wellsprings as disparate as Cream to Shostakovich to St. Vincent, Emily's D+Evolution is a kaleidoscopic project; raw, honest, luminous.
"Whether you want to see it as devolution and evolution, and the place where they co-exist without one diminishing the other, or...barely having the tools that you need, but having to move forward, and having to keep moving," Spalding explained to NPR in a recent interview, the album conceptually addresses the always exciting, sometimes messy process of reconciling the aspects of our selves that are in conflict. Exploding with literal and proverbial electricity, this album's complex but immediate compositions were committed to tape partially live, and partially in front of a control room packed full of 20 or more onlookers. The trio of Spalding (fretless electric bass and vocals), Matthew Stevens (electric guitar) and Justin Tyson and Karriem Riggins (splitting drum duties) often decided to use the first take--a testament to the project's particular energy and Spalding's virtuosity. Many of the compositions on Emily's D+Evolution were, after all, incubated onstage during the rigorous live performance schedule that preceded it.
Armed with the entity of Emily flowing through her, Spalding's visionary performance of the album is an experience to behold and an integral part of the project itself. Here, Spalding is, for the first time, incorporating stage design, movement and acting into her already vivid musical storytelling practice. She's working with stage director and playwright Will Wiegler to manifest her concepts physically now that they've come to life aurally. Each track on the album, from the soaring ode to uninhibited self-expression "Good Lava" to the affecting, shimmery funk ballad "Unconditional Love", Emily's D+Evolution is rich, surprising and labyrinthian, yet classic and timeless, as if these songs have always existed out there in the ether. Turns out that Spalding just had to tune in to Emily to bring them here to Earth.
This album contains no booklet.

By Roberta
AUTHOR: Henry Jenkins
DATE: 1992 (both hardback and paperback still in print)
LENGTH: 343 pages in paperback
GENRE: nonfiction; communication and cultural studies
And now for something COMPLETELY different – it's a book about …. US!
Oh, it's not the first book ever written about media fandom, and with all the changes brought about by the Internet, I definitely doubt it will be the last. But, Henry Jenkins' "Textual Poachers" is the first one I would recommend to anyone. The others that I have read have been rather depressing. They generally focus on Star Trek fans, and the extreme Trekkies at that, and tended to show them as obsessed, overgrown children with no idea of the difference between fantasy and reality, loons and misfits who steal the creations of others because they can't create anything of their own. If the writers of these books even bothered to explore the world of fandom on their own, rather than depending upon other outsiders for all their information, they maybe went to one or two cons – usually Star Trek 'events' -- attended one or two meetings of a Star Trek club, maybe condescended to read a fan story or even – horrors! – one entire fanzine, and then proceeded to make sweeping generalizations about the entirety of fandom.
After reading several of these unfortunately widely accepted texts, I wasn't originally all that interested in prowling through another, so I ignored "Textual Poachers" when it was first published. Then, a few years ago at MediaWest*Con, an annual media convention in Lansing, Michigan, I noticed people wearing T-shirts with interesting quotes from this book, so I finally purchased it. Joy Joy Happy Happy! This one really does explore fandom in depth, with understanding and appreciation. It turns out that, not only is Henry Jenkins an assistant professor of literature at MIT, he's actually participated in fannish activities, and is married to a fan, so he began his research unburdened with academia's general misconceptions. In fact, debunking some of these myths was apparently one of his chief goals in writing this book, as stated in his introduction:
"My motivations for writing this book are complex and bound to my dual role as fan and academic. As a fan, I feel that most previous academic accounts of fan culture are sensationalistic and foster misunderstandings about this subculture. From talking to fans, I recognize that these misconceptions have material consequences in our lives and contribute to often hostile treatment from workmates, friends, and family members. I want to participate in the process of redefining the public identity of fandom, to use my institutional authority to challenge those stereotypes, and to encourage a greater awareness of the richness of fan culture."
Make no mistake, "Textual Poachers" is a textbook. It is not a work of fiction, designed primarily to entertain. It is, however, quite interesting, and in my opinion, it is as understandable to laymen as to professionals in the fields of communication and cultural studies. It helps to have had some experience with organized media fandom – conventions, art shows, fanzines, filksinging, costuming – but it could also serve as an introduction to these aspects of fannish culture, especially for people like many of you, who are just within the fringes because of an overwhelming interest in one performer and/or one series, and haven't as yet encountered organized fandom.
Jenkins explores many different issues, as shown by the chapter headings:
"Get a Life!": Fans, Poachers, Nomads
Personally, I was most intrigued by the chapters on Fan Critics and, oddly, on Slash. I say "oddly" because I am not at all fond of "slash" fanfiction. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, let me explain, or rather, let Jenkins explain. "The colorful term, 'slash', refers to the convention of employing a stroke or 'slash' to signify a same-sex relationship between two characters (Kirk/Spock or K/S) and specifies a genre of fan stories posting homoerotic affairs between series protagonists. Slash originated as a genre of fan writing within Star Trek fandom in the early 1970s, as writers began to suggest, however timidly, that Kirk and Spock cared more deeply for each other than for any of the many secondary female characters who brush past them in the original episodes." As I said, I don't like slash; I have never written it – I don't feel a need to explore the possibility that Luka or any of my favorites from other universes are actually bisexual – and I don't particularly enjoy reading it, but Jenkins presents some very good, and probably quite valid, reasons why some fans do enjoy it, handling this difficult and sometimes controversial subject with ease and no sign of disdain or contempt.
On the Forum, we usually touch upon aspects of Fan Criticism, when we discuss each episode and why it worked or didn't work, and when we analyze why Luka is behaving as he is. We have the pleasure of writing and reading the stories posted to Jo's excellent Lukafic site. At MediaWest, in the past two years, I have participated on several ER-related panels that have also explored these things, and I keep prowling the Art Show hoping to find a portrait of our favorite doctor done by one of the excellent fan artists who frequent this con. These are some of the things that identify us as members of Media Fandom: we participate; we are not merely passive consumers, we engage in activities related to what we view, and in doing so, move beyond just watching. We have taken the character of Luka Kovac, because of our interest not only in this character but also in the performer who brings him to life, and made him, in part, ours. We have come to know this character as an individual, as a friend, and we are concerned about him. But as Jenkins so capably demonstrates in "Textual Poachers", this has not diminished our capacity to tell the difference between fantasy and reality, nor does it show a lack of creativity on our part. We have used our interest in Luka to enhance our individual realities, learning more about the world and about ourselves as we go. This is shown by the simple fact that the GV site is so very much more than an online fan club for Goran – we have made friends, we discuss national and international issues, with Aziel's encouragement and inspiration we have begun the Global Village. We are neither misfits nor loons; we have simply found a way to let media enrich our lives far beyond the simple weekly viewing of a one-hour show or attending the far-too-occasional movie.
William Shatner once told Star Trek fans to "Get a life". What Jenkins does in this book is to show that fans already have a life, one that is rich in culture, creativity, and friendship. "Textual Poachers" is a celebration of media fandom and what it has to offer, but it was written at the very dawn of public use of the Internet. As we can testify, the Net has given us all a greater accessibility to other fans, and as a result, the face of media fandom is changing. It is no longer limited to weekend conventions and print 'zines, and it's growth is beyond amazing. At some point, it would be interesting for Jenkins to re-explore this subculture, taking the Net into account and demonstrating how this new accessibility has altered both sides of the equation, changing not only how fans interact, but drawing more and more people into the fannish world. Fan Fiction alone has expanded drastically, and fan artists are now making use of this new outlet for their talent and their interest. At the very least, another edition of the existing book with a few new chapters would be a welcome addition to my shelves!

How cool and innovative are your BI and analytics capabilities?
We are in the throws of identifying cool vendors this year. It's an exciting time when we get to reflect on the most innovative trends and vendors we've encountered in the last year. But I have to say, sometimes, I think, "so what."
The majority of end customers are not ready to take advantage of these cool things. Many of you are stuck in maintenance mode of your traditional BI deployments, or just getting started in your effort to modernize with what is now mainstream data discovery. And even if you weren't so busy with these initiatives, then the old risk averse issue rears its ugly head. We all like safe bets. But safe bets are rarely cool, innovative, or disruptive.
In fact, we know from ITScore assessments, that only 27% of you consistently and actively evaluate new BI technologies. Perhaps this is not too horrible a number, but in a rapidly changing, innovative industry, I'd say it is low— too low. If you are low on bandwidth, budget, and appetite for risk, consider these approaches:
- Establish an innovation lab as part of your BICC or Analytics Center of Excellence. Give your experts time to be creative and explore new things. It might re-invigorate overworked analysts. But of course, set a scope and time limit. Not everyone needs to tinker all the time.
- Let the business unit be your innovation lab. That "shadow IT" group may be more willing and able to fail fast and try new things.
- Partner with a university. If you don't have the resources to do your own research and proofs of concepts on new technologies, consider partnering with a university for research or hiring interns for particular research areas.
Now a few words of wisdom for those vendors who think they are cool. First, we have to know about you, and in fact, several of us have to know about you. You do not have to be a Gartner client to brief us. We all love hearing about the next big thing. Second, what we don't love are briefings where a vendor is late, disorganized, and can't state their differentiators. If you tell me you are "just like Tableau, but, " then you are not innovative. You are a look alike. In fact, Rita, likes to use the term "JLTB" for all the vendors that have tried to explain their products this way.
The other mistake potentially cool vendors make is getting on our radar too late. Now is not an ideal time for briefings. You need to be on our radar way earlier and ideally throughout the year.

Syn.: Argyroxiphium macrocephalum A. Gray, Argyroxiphium sandwicense var. macrocephalum (A. Gray) Hillebr.
Family: Asteraceae Bercht. et J. Presl
Distribution: Argyroxiphium sandwicense is endemic to Hawaiian Islands and it is found only on islands of Maui and Hawaii. The nominate subspecies is found on the volcano of Mauna Kea on the Big Island (Hawaii) and the subspecies A. s. subsp. macrocephalum (in our pictures) on the volcano Haleakala on the island of Maui.
Ecology: Grows in the crater and on the outer top slopes of the volcano, on dry cliffs and edges of lava fields and on the rocks at high elevations of 2100 to 3000 m. Blooms from July to October.
Description: Monocarpic plant taking 15 to 50 years to flowering. Leaves grow in a dense rosette close to the ground, 15–40 cm long and up to 1.5 cm wide, narrowly lanceolate, triangular in cross section, pointy, stiff and covered in silvery hairs for protection against high elevation UV radiation. Flower scape rises from the leaves, erect, usually single, seldom branched, up to 3 m in height and 75 cm in diameter, inflorescence is a raceme of 50–600 heads, nodding, each with 11–42 ray florets, pale red to maroon, and 50–600 disc florets, 5–8 mm long, of similar colour. Fruit is an achene, 7–15 mm long. After seeds ripen the plant dies.
Threat and protection: This taxon was almost extirpated in the past (goat grazing in the crater), however present population appears healthy with about 65 000 plants. The area of distribution is very limited and therefore, it is classified in the Red List IUCN as vulnerable (VU). Protected in Hawaii.
These images were taken in USA, Hawaiian Islands, Maui, Haleakala (by Karel Bergmann junior, March 2014, and by Mário Duchoň, May 3, 2015).

Entertaining movie. I hesitated about seeing it, and even declared on social media that I would not, so that Rian Johnson makes $9 less at the box office. But sure enough before bargain Tuesday was over I found myself sitting in the cinema.
The moviemaking is solid and the plot itself seems to sort of make sense. When you see it you might wonder to yourself whether telling someone dreadful out of error might be cause for a manslaughter charge if it leads to fatality. But just put that non-spoiler into your back pocket until after watching the movie.
Apart from one quip reference to Baby Driver, what may date this movie in a few years is reference to Trump and keeping kids in cages, as well as a young boy in the film who is meant to represent internet "trolls" AKA disenfranchised Star Wars fans who disliked The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson's previous film.
A distinction can be made between the writing and directing which are much as they should be and the writer-director himself Rian Johnson who either has a disproportionate amount of hate for how he wrote Luke Skywalker and the creation of time-wasting characters like Rose Tico and Vice Admiral Holdo while allowing Admiral Ackbar to die off screen with no distinction. It can be impressive to note that the writer of Knives Out is the same screenwriter who gave us TLJ, a script that is taught in university courses as an example of how not to compose a screenplay. But as good and tight as Knives Out may be, the praise by critics is nudged upwards just a bit by the inclusion of the Trump references and the repeated suggestion that those who are not firmly on the extreme left must be "Nazis."
If you can look past that, you may enjoy the movie. The second trailer I recall some people swearing it had a line referring to one of the black dogs at the estate as "Lando." I may have imagined that, but strangely in the final cut of the movie in theatres neither of the dogs is referred to by name. That seems a bit suspect. Except that watching it again the line I hear is "I think Linda was upset." So Linda (Jamie Lee Curtis' character. Not Lando. Had it been so, that might have been a sarcastic dismissal of people frustrated that Lando did not turn out to be the "code breaker" on Canto Bight, which is otherwise a pointless sequence in The Last Jedi.

Ethan sat by the quiet stream. The bubbling brook brought peace to his soul. A gentle breeze blew through the freshly leafed Spring trees. Green ferns graced the edges of the crystal-clear water that ran over the rocks. Eastern blue star flowers dotted the sides of the woods. Poplar trees and oaks populated much of the forest around Ethan. He sat there on his favorite rock pondering what he was going to do next with his life.
Caroline had always been his true love, and when they married, he knew he would never need anyone else. Their life together had been everything he dreamed it would be. Although both worked to make ends meet, they had managed to always have the weekends free together. Love filled their little two-bedroom apartment, and strangers quickly became friends on their weekend adventures to nearby tourist attractions.
Unfortunately, all that changed when Mason appeared. He was a handsome rogue who had been assigned as Caroline's boss at the bank branch where she worked. At first, Caroline would mention him almost daily when telling Ethan about her workday. However, as the weeks went by, she stopped saying his name. At first, Ethan assumed Mason had settled into his job, and Caroline had less interaction with him. Then one day Ethan surprised Caroline and showed up at her workplace to take her out to lunch. He was shocked to learn that Mason and Caroline had already left for lunch together. The bank teller behind the counter mentioned they often had lunches together.
Ethan set aside his jealousy, afraid of what it could mean. It wasn't until that fateful day a week ago that all his fears became true. Caroline was sorry and wept bitterly, but she had fallen in love with Mason. Ethan's heart was broken, but he let her go. In the end, her happiness was all that mattered to him. Although his chest felt hollow inside when she walked out the door, he knew he was doing the right thing.
It took less than two days for Mason to reject Caroline. She called Ethan crying on the phone from a hotel in town. Caroline sobbed and told him how Mason had walked into the hotel with another woman under his arm. Caroline knew Ethan had no reason to help her or even comfort her, but she had taken the chance and begged his forgiveness. Now, Ethan sat in his quiet place in the woods. He watched the sunlight play in the shadows of the trees and considered his options.
The footsteps behind Ethan were not unexpected. In fact, they were five minutes late. Each step was determined but slow. It seemed the person he had invited into his special place was not used to walking a mile up a muddy path.
"There better be a darn good reason you called me up here." Mason's arrogant voice immediately started a rage inside of Ethan soul, but Ethan controlled himself.
"I thought we would talk privately, in a relaxed environment," replied Ethan.
"Talk about what? I don't have anything to say to you. The only reason I came here was that you said Caroline was thinking about talking to Michelle. I don't need that witch chatting up my new girlfriend."
Ethan wanted to end him now, but he had to give Mason a chance. He had to give himself a chance. To provide Mason with what he deserved would cost him a piece of his own soul. Ethan continued, "I may have lied about that."
"Lied?" Mason's voice was a combination of annoyance and anger. "What was your plan? Bring me up here and kill me?"
Ethan forced a laugh from his tightening chest, and responded, "You really are a makebate."
He could hear Mason begin to step closer, and Ethan finally turned to face him. Ethan nearly burst out laughing. The man had hiked up the path wearing khakis and a button-down blue business shirt. His once shiny Italian leather shoes were now scuffed and stained with red clay. Mason was apparently out of his element. Ethan stood, and Mason stopped less than two feet away from his face.
"I should punch you in the mouth right here," growled Mason. "You dragged me all the way up here, and for what? Because your wife was a slut? I did you a favor. She was so easy to seduce. All I had to promise were all the things you couldn't give her."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Mason took a step back and crossed his arms. With a smirk on his face, he continued. "All you guys are the same. You assume your relationships are perfect, but nobody's perfect. You had money issues, there were nights you were too tired to pay attention to her, and you'd stop complimenting her as often as you use to. All I had to do was promise her wealth and give her the attention she missed. It works every time."
"But why did you break her heart?" Asked Ethan. "She loved you, and you used her."
"Of course, I used her," said Mason. "That's the point, and now I'm using Michelle. They give me a little happiness, and I return the favor."
"You destroy lives." Said Ethan.
"They destroyed themselves." Said Mason dismissively.
Ethan had had enough. "Come with me over here a moment."
Mason raised his eyebrow with suspicion, "Why would I do that?"
"If I were going to kill you I would've already done it." Said Ethan. "I just want to show you something that Caroline had hidden out here the concerns you."
Mason gave a quick nod and followed Ethan. They walked 5 yards downstream, and Ethan gave a kick to a stick that was leaning into a bush sitting next to the edge of the water. A tree limb shot into the air with a whoosh. Mason screamed as he found himself hanging upside down four feet above the ground.
"What do you think you're doing? I thought you weren't going to kill me. Get me down, or I'll call the police."
Ethan tilted his head slightly upside down and looked Mason in the eye. "Oh, I'm not going to kill you, and you're not calling the police." Ethan reached into Mason's front pocket and grabbed the cell phone that was dangling out. Then he pulled the twine out of his own pocket and quickly tied Mason's hands to his belt. Mason yelled and cursed, and attempted to fight back, but his office physique offered little defense.
"How long do you intend to keep me here?" asked Mason through his tears.
Ethan looked down at Mason and smiled. Then he said, "Long enough." Ethan then turned and began walking back the way they had come.
"Long enough for what?" yelled Mason as he sobbed.
Ethan turned and answered, "Long enough for the bears. They've recently come out of hibernation. They always come here for water, and to forage for food. Don't worry, you probably won't last more than a few hours before they finally show up."
"You can't do this!" Cried out, Mason.
Ethan didn't respond. He just turned back and whistled to himself as he strolled down the path back to his car.

Researchers appear to have discovered the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The discovery has the potential to lead to an effective treatment to the progressive, fatal disease. According to Dr. Teepu Siddique, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, the key was discovering an underlying disease process for all types of ALS. The breakthrough also could play a role in creating effective treatments for other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's, Siddique said. The Northwestern research team said that the breakdown of cellular recycling systems in the neurons of the spinal cord and brain of ALS patients results in the nervous system gradually losing its ability to carry brain signals to the body's muscular system. When these signals are absent, patients are increasingly unable to move, talk, swallow or breathe.
"This is the first time we could connect (ALS) to a clear-cut biomedical mechanism," Siddique said. "It has really made the direction we have to take very clear and sharp. We can now test for drugs that would regulate this protein pathway or optimize it, so it functions as it should in a normal state." The breakthrough was announced in the research journal Nature. Approximately 30,000 Americans have ALS – a total of 350,000 patients across the globe. With no known treatment, half of all ALS patients die within three years. New York Yankee baseball star Lou Gehrig died in 1941 at the age of 37 of the disease that today bears his name.
Mutations in a single gene known as UBQLN2 cause inherited forms of ALS and ALS with dementia, probably through defective degradation of abnormal protein clumps. Even patients who did not have the UBQLN2 mutation had features of the disrupted pathway, suggesting that it is a "common pathological feature in a wide spectrum of ALS and ALS/dementia," according to Dr. Siddique. "These data provide robust evidence for an impairment of protein turnover in the pathogenesis of ALS and ALS/dementia, and possibly other neurodegenerative disorders, as well. These pathways should provide novel molecular targets for the design of rational therapies for these disorders."
"The exact function of ubiquilin 2 is not well understood," Siddique said. "However, there is increasing evidence that ubiquilins, together with their interactions with other proteins, may be involved in neurodegenerative disorders." Siddique and his research team looked for other UBQLN2 mutations in 188 members of families with a history of ALS or ALS with dementia. This work led to the identification of four additional mutations, none of which was present in a mutation database or in 928 control samples.
Only 10 percent of ALS patients have the inherited form of the disease. Because no cause had been identified for those who lack a family history, researchers have been uncertain about whether different forms of ALS were actually the same disease. Siddique and his research team found that in people with and without inherited ALS, the disease results from the inability of a protein system to repair the nerve cells that tell the muscles what to do. For ALS patients, ubiquilin2 does not do this effectively, leading to an accumulation of the damaged proteins and ubiquilin2 in vital nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain. As seen through a microscope, the protein accumulations look like twisted balls of yarn, a hallmark of ALS. "Abnormality in protein degradation has been suspected, but there was little direct evidence before this study," said study co-author Han-Xiang Deng, M.D. "This moves the field forward in an impressive way, but like many breakthroughs, many questions remain to be answered."
Amelie Gubitz, a research program director at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, said the study marks an important step forward. "You need to understand at the cellular level what is going wrong," Gubitz said. "Then you can begin to design drugs."
Siddique, who has spent more than 25 years researching the causes and underlying mechanisms of ALS, said he was fascinated by the subject because "It was one of the most difficult problems in neurology and the most devastating, a disease without any treatment or known cause. These people in the prime of their lives and the peak of their productivity get this devastating illness that kills them. The people who get ALS/dementia, an even more vicious disease, have a double whammy."

Black Magic RyPAMichigan Beer Cellar
Sparta, MI
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Rings's Rating:
Pair With:While Michigan Beer Cellar, located in Sparta, Michigan, is reportedly still for sale, they keep plugging away at creating a wide range of beers and spirits. I touched on their story a bit back in sampling their English IPA.
Their black rye defies simple categorization, as it's a hybrid amalgamation of porter, IPA, and rye, which is homage to the homebrewer roots of MBC's leadership. It pours a dark brown in color with a light head and a gentle glass cling. The body is medium and it's dry, with a lingering bitterness to finish off the sharp malty nose. The sharp hoppiness reinforces the "RyePA" portion of its moniker. It's interesting, very drinkable and new technology worth a pint any time you're in the neighborhood.

A Changing Of The Business Guard, As Tech Displaces Finance
It's been difficult to avoid the impression this week that we are witnessing the end of an era in Australian business.
The nation's most powerful corporate dealmaker of the past decade or so, UBS's local boss Matthew Grounds, announced his retirement. And one of world's biggest investment banks, Deutsche Bank, began a significant retreat from Australia, where it has held a strong presence for decades.
The twin developments justifiably created a huge stir within the investment community. Such that another, perhaps equally significant business development, almost slipped by unnoticed.
Across the Pacific Ocean on the Nasdaq exchange, shares in Australia's most prominent tech company Atlassian hit fresh highs. And as this took place, co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes was rubbing shoulders with the likes of Apple CEO Tim Cook, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and News Corp scion Lachlan Murdoch at the ultra-exclusive, invite only Allen & Co conference in Sun Valley, Idaho.Advertisement
The share surge means Atlassian is a now a $50 billion company. It's currently more valuable than Telstra, the corporate icon Grounds helped float on the stockmarket, in what he described this week as one of his most memorable deals. It also means Cannon-Brookes' and co-founder Scott Farquhar's multi-billion dollar fortunes each sit comfortably ahead of James Packer's – a corporate icon himself, and Grounds' most famous client.
"It's a surreal place to be for sure," Cannon-Brookes said in a phone call this week, referring to the rise of Atlassian. "But we are here. And I think we deserve to be here."
Now, as someone who started his career in finance (including a brief stint on a Deutsche Bank trading floor) and ended up writing about technology and media, I acknowledge I may be reading too much into things here.
But this week's events still felt highly symbolic. Yet another striking illustration of a theme that is increasingly pervasive: Technology is becoming a more prominent function inside many companies than finance (or at least corporate strategy and internal deal-making departments). And tech is displacing finance as the dominant business sub-culture.
The era of the dealmaker, and the industrial moguls they advise, dressed in expensive suits and pounding the table in oak-pannelled boardrooms has all but faded. It is being replaced by the age of the hoodie-clad venture capitalist, and the freewheeling, disruptive tech entrepreneur.
This theory is not perfect, of course. Dealmakers and financiers are making a lot of money from tech, and tech moguls are doing a lot of deals. The conference Cannon-Brookes and other tech figures attended this week in the US is hosted by a boutique investment bank, after all. Yet the broader trend is unmistakeable.
None of this is to say that tech's ascendancy is leading us into an era that is necessarily better than what preceded it. The tech industry has its fair share of problems, which are only coming to light now.
Regulators and politicians are increasingly concerned about the market power of 'Big Tech' companies, not to mention the impact of their products on society. Facebook and Google, in particular, are under fire for repeated privacy breaches, failing to stop fake news and filter bubbles and for absolving themselves of responsibility when deeply problematic content has spread on their platforms.
Unlike investment banks, tech companies can't be blamed for a global economic collapse. But the strong case can be made that some of them have seriously weakened democracies. The too-big-to-fail bank has been usurped by the ungovernable tech giant.
The shift from finance to tech is not just cultural. There is arguably a powerful macro trend underpinning it. Ultra-low interest rates have weakened banks profitability, but also enabled disruptive businesses that otherwise may not have existed to thrive. This raises an obvious question: what happens if and when interest rates do return to more historically normal levels?
None of this is top of mind for Cannon-Brookes, though, who has now truly arrived as a member of the global business elite. Not that you would know it from talking to him. "We have got a shit load of work to do," he says. "We will keep focused on the long term, building the best company we can. For customers ultimately, rather than shareholders, and the rest sort of takes care of itself."
