The cornerstone of ICOM is its ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums. It sets minimum standards of professional practice and performance for museums and their staff. In joining the organisation, ICOM members undertake to abide by this Code.
Moscow 2-4 September 2015
CAMOC was set up in Moscow in 2005 and it is to Moscow we are returning for our tenth anniversary conference. The theme will be memory and migration. Click here for more conference details.
Check out our affiliate website, Museum of the City, spearheaded by CAMOC member Chet Orloff. It's a virtual museum of city culture, features, issues, and history that collects online exhibits submitted by citizens the world over.

Beyond the museum doors: a wall on the construction site of a new metro station in Copenhagen where local people place their memories.
CAMOC's artefacts are the city and its people - their past history, their present and their future. It is a forum for those who work in museums about cities, but also for all those involved and interested in urban life: historians, urban planners, architects, economists, or citizens, all of whom can exchange knowledge and ideas across national frontiers.
Our annual reports—click on Activities—describe our work, who we are, and where we come from across the world. On the same link we describe some of the projects we are involved in. In addition, day to day news items, comment and discussion take place on our active Facebook and LinkedIn sites.
We always welcome new members to provide us with fresh thinking about city museums and their artefact, the city. You join us to make a difference.

ICOM's 27 February 2015 Statement:
In the wake of the devastating images of the intentional destruction of objects from the Mosul Museum, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) is deeply concerned for the safety of museum professionals in Iraq and mourns the loss of invaluable cultural heritage due to this reprehensible attack.
The international museum community shares the pain of the Iraqi people in the face of such brutal assaults on their collective history and identity. When cultural objects of a country disappear, all people are denied a part of their shared history and are taken as hostages alongside the heritage.
The international community must not only strongly condemn the destruction of such an important collection, but must take immediate measures to prevent further deplorable assaults on the culture and history of humankind.
Voluntary destruction of elements of Iraq's millennial culture and history, and those of the broader region, has been occurring for many years. This recent calculated provocation is also an attack on the concept of museums, and a forceful rejection of the ways in which the world approaches and values ancient societies.
Concerned about the frequency of such systematic destruction of heritage, ICOM calls on the responsibility of all for protecting the cultural heritage of the world, of which the ancient royal cities of Nineveh, Nimrud and Hatra in northern Iraq are great vestiges.
These senseless acts are in complete violation of national and international legislation, encompassing the recent United Nations resolution 2199, which condemns the destruction of cultural property and aims to prevent the trade in items of cultural, scientific and religious importance that have been illegally removed from their country of origin during periods of conflict.
For over a decade, ICOM has dedicated itself to emergency preparedness and response for museum professionals and to the protection of Iraqi cultural objects at risk of illicit trade. In this regard, a revised version of the Emergency Red List of Iraqi Cultural Objects at Risk will soon be published.
In extending solidarity and support to our colleagues in Iraq, ICOM wishes to further contribute to future capacity-building efforts for museum professionals of the region who could be confronted with such exceptional and tragic situations.

1 Kings Chapter 18 to 19 : American Standard Version
1And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 2And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria. 3And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly: 4for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 5And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it thou, my lord Elijah? 8And he answered him, It is I: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 9And he said, Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 10As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 11And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 12And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me: but I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth. 13Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 14And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here; and he will slay me. 15And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day.
16So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel? 18And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baalim. 19Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel's table.
20So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 21And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said, How long go ye limping between the two sides? if Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 22Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Jehovah; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 23Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under. 24And call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
25And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under. 26And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped about the altar which was made. 27And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth and must be awaked. 28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them. 29And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
30And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah that was thrown down. 31And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Jehovah came, saying, Israel shall be thy name. 32And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 33And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood. 34And he said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time. 35And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 36And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 37Hear me, O Jehovah, hear me, that this people may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 38Then the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Jehovah, he is God; Jehovah, he is God. 40and Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
41And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain. 42So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees. 43And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times. 44And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Make ready thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. 45And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel: 46and the hand of Jehovah was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
19 1 Kings 19
1And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2Then Jezebel send a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time. 3And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. 4But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. 5And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. 6And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. 7And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee. 8And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
9And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? 10And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 11And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake: 12and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 13And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? 14And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria; 16and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. 17And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 18Yet will I leave me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
19So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee? 21And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

The latest addition to our Reviews section is by Kaija Straumanis on A Handbook for the Perfect Adventurer by Pierre Mac Orlan, translated by Napoleon Jeffries, and out from Wakefield Press.
Based on the above paragraph and all the awesome that it contains, this book really shouldn't need much more introduction: it's a guide to adventuring, which is cool; the translator's name is Napoleon, which, right on; it's from Wakefield Press, one of my all-time favorite small presses. It is common practice at the Open Letter office that, when a new Wakefield review copy comes in the mail, Chad enters it into the "Translation Database" and then promptly hands the book over to me, at which I point squirrel it away and exclaim several things, including but not limited to "Shit yes," "Mine," "OmgomgWakefield," and "I'M SQUIRRELING THIS AWAY."
There are myriad reasons why I love Wakefield Press so much (they're also the publisher behind the ENG translation of Fourier's The Hierarchies of Cuckoldry and Bankruptcy), but I fell in love with their books after reading René Daumal's Pataphysical Essays. Pataphysical Essays was a book I wish I had written a review on, but was never able to bring myself to do it—partially due to laziness, but mostly because I had no idea how to write about a book I loved so much but could only peripherally understand. Pataphysical Essays is one of the most insane things I've read in the past few years; it's so scientifically non-scientific, and a joy to find so much humor and delight in something that confused me. It's absurd, it's profound. And boils pataphysics (and the world) down to the beautiful equation of:
To know x = to know (Everything – x)
ANYWAY. Back to adventuring. Even without mind-blowing mathematics my brain can stomach, Mac Orlan's guide (originally commissioned by Blaise Cendrars), is a witty and tongue-in-cheek book/commentary that essentially outlines two types of adventurer—the active and the passive—which of the two is better, how he must function in order to be successful, and warnings for individuals "wishing to seek literature in life." Here's the beginning of the review:
For the rest, go here.
Think back to the last adventure- or action-type book you read. Wasn't it cool? Didn't it make you want to do things, like learn to shoot a crossbow, hack complicated information systems, travel to strange worlds, take on knife-wielding thugs, or transport a secret package that turns out to be a member of a royal family? Though if you were to actually find yourself in those situations, chances are you'd pee an amoeba-shaped spot onto the front of your pants and wish you were anywhere but there. Basically, and for the most part, these types of scenarios and adventures are best left to the movies, books, and TV shows.
Pierre Mac Orlan says the same. Written in 1920, his A Handbook to the Perfect Adventurer is a dry humored and smart look at how fun it can be to be an "active" adventurer, but how, in the end, it's probably best to be the "passive" adventurer—a manipulative character of sorts who encourages the active adventurer to go on ahead, and then sits in the safety of his home reading about adventures and imagining what they would be like (all the sexy parts of danger inclusive).
Because it's been far too long since I've written a review, I'm going to apologize, and then just wing it. This is a book you can easily read in one night (if you skip the endnotes, and most of the introduction [sorry, Napoleon! Mac Orlan's background is fascinating and the intro is well-written, but I just wanted to "GET TO THE WHALE!!" already]), and one that should make you chuckle out loud now and then, unless you don't get dry humor, but maybe instead you'll pick up on that WWI facet, in which case, man, those was rough times, hope you don't get flashbacks.
With short chapters and the occasional list, the Handbook is an entertaining blend of reality and fiction with language that is both playful and essayistic. Mac Orlan doesn't give you a moment of rest from his instructive train of thought, beginning the first lines of the book with:
It must be established as a law that adventure in itself does not exist. Adventure is in the mind of the one who pursues it . . .
Because an adventure is only an adventure once you label it as such. As kids we devour adventure stories, recreate them in our backyards or basements; as adults sadly, the majority of us drift away from the Gulliver's Travels and 20,000 Leagues level of adventure stories because we are painfully aware of how juvenile it all is. True, we find the detective, the futuristic—but for some reason, the level those types of books are on seem acceptable and even plausible (re the futuristic part). I can't quite put my finger on it, but Mac Orlan isn't so much saying that our imaginations die completely as we grow older, but perhaps our willingness to believe in a fiction more real weakens, instead opting for stories that are either more probable (zombies), or things so ridiculous (sexy[?] half-squid, half-jungle cat space goddesses), that we don't have to do a lot of mental footwork to get into it.
Mac Orlan goes on to stipulate that the only position he as the writer can advocate safely is that of the passive adventurer. The person reading adventure novels, the person sitting snugly at home only imagining what it would be like to sink into quicksand, instead of being like the active adventurer (whose main features are "total lack of imagination and sensitivity"), who brings shame to his family (they would cry tears of joy if he accidentally got lost at a fun-park, never to return), is always causing trouble, and who would be better off far, far away from the rest of us.
The emphasis and preference placed on the "passive" adventurer is great, even though this type of adventurer is initially said to be a parasite that can exist "only on the exploits of the active adventurer." But there's much to be said for living vicariously through the adventures—real or fictionalized—of others, particularly if it means not dying in some stupid way at the hands of a half-squid-half-jungle-cat queen. Mac Orlan states the childhood of the passive adventurer must be completely opposite of that which the active adventurer leads, and can be achieved by a number of characteristics, including:
A conscientious study of the humanities (texts to restore in the future).
Discretion in lying.
A cult of sensibility.
A complete absence of what is commonly called "moral sense."
A respect for traditions and discipline.
A hatred of violent games, of sports in general—at least in practice. When it comes to theory, the passive adventurer must be a well-informed sportsman.
Literary eroticism (in practice: normal relations with women).
Able to write "whore" in twenty languages.
Knows how to play a few sailor songs on the accordion.
And, most importantly,
Has a gullible friend who can be made into an active adventurer.
Basically, passive adventurers are knowledgeable book-nerds who get all kinds of laid while their unnecessarily macho friends are out futilely battling a band of alligators that have evolved to walk, talk, and kidnap rich heiresses (who probably had it coming anyway). Though all this could, of course, be applied to actual, tangible life, Mac Orlan equates the passive adventurer to being "a more or less conscious novelist." There it is, my friends. The passive adventurer is someone who has essentially retained a pure imagination, someone who is a creator, someone who knows adventure inside and out without having to get his hands dirty, while the active adventurer is all "WOO, PARTY!" and not a lot of thought process.
While I wouldn't say Mac Orlan would support an entirely Proustian lifestyle, he clearly favors the passive to the active, though he does maintain that the active adventurer has his purpose. It's a Möbius strip situation: the passive adventurer creates these adventure novels that are then read by future passive adventurers, who then evolve to become the next generation of passive adventurers, who then create . . . And in turn, those who don't evolve to become passive adventurers and instead pick up their machetes/slingshots/wasp spray on their way to become the next active adventurer—those are the people who serve as subjects for their passive counterparts. Without one, the other can't exist.
The opening of Jón Gnarr's novel/memoir The Indian is a playful bit of extravagant ego, telling the traditional story of creation, where the "Let there be light!" moment is also the moment of his birth on January 2nd, 1967. Then. . .
Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .
The prolific Spanish author Benito Pérez Galdós wrote his short novel, Tristana, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a time when very few options were available to women of limited financial means who did not want a husband.. . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .

Philip Hardwick
Philip Hardwick RA (London 15 June 1792 – 28 December 1870) was an English architect, particularly associated with railway stations and warehouses in London and elsewhere. Hardwick is probably best known for London's demolished Euston Arch and its twin station Birmingham Curzon Street, which stands today as the oldest railway terminus in the world.
Hardwick was born at 9 Rathbone Place (since demolished) in Westminster, London. He was educated at Dr Barrow's school in Soho Square and trained as an architect under his father, Thomas Hardwick (junior) (1752–1829), who was in turn the son of architect Thomas Hardwick Sr. (1725–1798). The Hardwick family name spans over 150 years in the history of British architecture.
Philip Hardwick entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1808 and then studied in France and Italy from 1815 to 1819. After travelling Europe, he took over from his father as Surveyor to St Bartholomew's Hospital, London. This post later passed on to Philip's son – Philip Charles Hardwick, meaning that three successive generations of the family held the post.
In 1825 he was appointed architect to the St Katherine's Dock Company, for whom he designed the dock buildings, Thomas Telford designing the docks themselves. In 1829 he became architect to the Goldsmiths' Company, designing a new hall for them which was opened in 1835.[1] In 1836 Hardwick became architect to the London and Birmingham Railway.[2] He built a great Doric propylaeum, which became known as the "Euston Arch", as an entrance to the railway's Euston Station. In 1838 he built the Curzon Street Station as the railway's Birmingham terminus. It is an austere cubic three-story building in the Ionic style, with a portico of four giant Ionic columns.[3]
At Babraham Hall in 1822-3, on the site of a long-demolished sixteenth-century house, Hardwick adopted a Jacobean style, using red brick with limestone dressings.[4] Brick was used again at Lincoln's Inn, when, in 1843-5, Hardwick, in collaboration with his son, built a new hall and library. They used a Tudor style, the red brick varied with black brick decoration, and pale stone trim, foreshadowing the later fashion for polychrome brickwork.[5] For churches, Hardwick used both the classical style, as at Christ Church, Cosway Street, Marylebone (1824–25),[6] and the Gothic, as at Holy Trinity, Bolton (1823–25),[7] St John's, Catford (1854)[8] and the Royal Garrison church, Aldershot (1863).[9]
Hardwick gained a reputation as a surveyor and was employed by the Westminster Bridge estates, the Portman London estate, Greenwich Hospital, and the estate of the 2nd Marquess of Salisbury (1829–1835). He was also surveyor to Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (from 1842) and assisted Sir Francis Smith in designing Wellington Barracks next to Buckingham Palace in 1833.
In 1831 his father in law, architect John Shaw Senior, helped elect Hardwick as a fellow of the Royal Society. Hardwick was a founding member of the Institute of British Architects (1834) – later (1837) the RIBA – and was a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers. In 1839 he was one of the judges for the new Royal Exchange building in the City of London, and was appointed to select the design for the Oxford Museum in 1854. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in1839, and became a Royal Academician in 1841
In 1854, he received the seventh Royal Gold Medal for architecture.
Family and pupils[edit]
Philip married Julia Shaw in 1819, at St James's Church, Piccadilly. Julia's father, John Shaw Sr. (1776–1832), and brother, John Shaw Jr. (1803–1870), were both architects. The two families lived close by within the boroughs of Westminster and Holborn. Philip Hardwick had two sons, the eldest died of smallpox whilst still at Eton,[10] the younger, Philip Charles Hardwick, was born in 1822 and trained as an architect under him. Philip Charles began working in the firm around 1843.
Philip Hardwick's pupils included John Loughborough Pearson, Gothic revival architect of Truro Cathedral, Thomas Henry Wyatt (1807–1880), T. Roger Smith (1830–1903),[11] and Charles Locke Eastlake (1836–1906).
Hardwick was a close friend of the artist J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851), who had been a pupil of his father. In 1851 Turner chose Hardwick as an executor to his will.
Hardwick and much of his extended family were buried at Kensal Green Cemetery.
Euston Arch[edit]
- See main article Euston Arch
Hardwick's best-known work is likely the 1837 'Propylaeum' or Doric Euston Arch at the old Euston station, designed for the London and Birmingham Railway at the cost of £35,000. Like Inigo Jones some 200 years earlier, Hardwick had been inspired by Italian architecture, following a trip to Italy in 1818–19.
Despite the efforts of John Betjeman and other conservationists, the Euston Arch was demolished in the early 1960s. The gates of the arch are stored at the National Railway Museum in York. In 1994 the historian Dan Cruickshank discovered 4,000 tons, or about 60%, of the arch's stones buried in the bed of the River Lea in the East End of London, including the architrave stones with the gilded EUSTON lettering. This discovery has opened the possibility of a reconstruction of the arch.

Perhaps they're not the most likely silver screen duo, but Keira Knightley and Chloe Moretz certainly play well together in the new trailer for "Laggies."
The forthcoming film also features big names like Sam Rockwell, Ellie Kemper, Gretchen Mol and Kaitlyn Dever under the direction of Lynn Shelton.
Continuing promotions for their upcoming film, the cast of "Begin Again" headed over to London, England on Wednesday (July 2).
Keira Knightley struck a pose with costars Mark Ruffalo and James Corden for the press event held at the St. Vincent House.
Though she's built an impressive career on her acting chops, it turns out Keira Knightley is also quite the chanteuse.
The 29-year-old "Love Actually" lady stars in the forthcoming "Begin Again" flick along with Adam Levine and Mark Ruffalo and her role includes plenty of singing.
Taking care of some promotional duties, Keira Knightley showed up at the New York City premiere of her new movie "Begin Again" on Wednesday night (June 25).
During promotions for "Begin Again," Keira Knightley scored the cover of Glamour magazine's July 2014 issue.
After rocking Burberry and Carolina Herrera for the Tom Munro-shot spread, the 29-year-old actress opened up about working with Adam Levine on the rom-com and her marriage to James Righton.
With an impressive list of successful films and an undeniable attractiveness, Keira Knightley is the perfect choice for ELLE UK's July 2014 cover girl.
Ready to show off their latest work, the stars of "Begin Again" were on hand for the film's Tribeca Film Festival premiere on Saturday evening (April 26) in New York City.
A vision in white, Keira Knightley took to the arrivals carpet alongside her co-star Hailee Steinfeld, who rocked a colorful, geometric look.
With her film "Begin Again" set to debut at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, Keira Knightley landed herself a feature in the Spring 2014 issue of DuJour magazine.
During her interview with the publication, the "Anna Karenina" beauty opened up about everything from her role in the new film to her work with Chanel.

Draft History Poll #2: Best Feeder School
My second Rams draft history poll asks the following question:
Which college has provided the most quality draft choices for the Rams over the years. Based on my research, there are four finalists. Each of these schools has provided at least five quality draft picks over the years.
*NOTE: I count Jack Snow among the Notre Dame draftees, notwithstanding that he was technically drafted by the Vikings (he was traded to the Rams before his rookie season and never played a down for any other team).

Online notes platform aims to have 100 million users worldwide in next 18 months
The four-year online notes platform, Evernote, is expanding to Southeast Asia and is looking for local partners to help Evernote get exposure in the Thai market this year.
Evernote's vice president of international operations, Dmitry Stavisky, said the company aims to have 100 million users worldwide in the next year and a half, and it is reaching out to Asia and Southeast Asia as part of a strategy to reach the goal.
"Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing areas for us. Currently, Evernote supports several languages in Southeast Asia - Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Malaysian. Globally, Evernote supports 18 languages," said Stavisky.
Currently, there are more than 32 million users around the world. In Asia, about 13 per cent of total users are in Japan, 5 per cent in China, 3 per cent in Korea and Southeast Asia, 2 per cent in India, and 1 per cent in Taiwan. In Thailand, there are about 200,000 users.
"The US and Japan are the big markets for Evernote. We already have set up an office in Tokyo for a couple of years. We just opened an office in China early this year. In China, we have the whole team and a data centre as well. We also have small offices in Taiwan and Korea," said Stavisky.
It plans to open an office in Singapore within this year so it could serve as the centre overseeing the market in Southeast Asia.
"We are a small company with 190 people worldwide, most of them developers, designers and product managers. Since our revenue does not come from advertising, we do not need sales and marketing personnel. Our market approach is to develop the best product to satisfy users. Once they use them, and like them, they are likely to pay for using premium services.
He added that the company's revenue comes from the freemium model for which users pay US$45 (Bt1,400) per year or $5 per month to use premium with extra features. Currently, 6 per cent of total users use the freemium service. It aims to have about 5-10 per cent of total users subscribe to the freemium services.
"We want everyone to use Evernote. We do not want to heavily increase the portion of freemium users, and instead want to maintain the number of freemium users at about 5-10 per cent of total revenue. This is enough revenue for us to maintain the product's features," said Stavisky.
He added that the company will soon start working on its marketing in Thailand. The company's approach will be product-centric, focused on explaining to users the product's features.
"We will educate users on what Evernote will do for them and how to use Evernote better. Evernote's name has been spread by word of mouth of our users rather than through marketing," said Stavisky.
He added that the company plans in the next 6 to 12 moths to have conferences with users, developers, the press, and bloggers in Thailand to educate the market about Evernote.
Stavisky said that Evernote is not just a service but a platform. The company provides application programming interface (API). There are more than 10,000 developers using API and several 100 applications and devices available in Evernote's Trunk.
"Evernote lets users take notes, sync files across your devices, save Web pages, capture inspiration, and share your ideas with friends and colleagues," said Stavisky.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a growing economic burden worldwide. Smoking cessation is thought to be the single most effective way of reducing the economic burden of COPD. The impact of other strategies such as interventions that predict risk of disease, reduce progression of disease, or reduce exacerbations has not been systematically studied.
We estimated the economic and clinical burden of COPD over the next 25 years in Canada and the impact of three potential interventions (screening test for predisposition to COPD, new drugs to avoid progression into more severe disease stages, and predictive test for exacerbations) on COPD burden.
Using a dynamic simulation model, we projected the total burden of COPD (cost, morbidity, and mortality) from 2011 to 2035 using the population of Canada as a case study. The model stratified population based on sex, age, smoking status, respiratory symptoms, and their COPD stage. The cost and quality adjusted life years (QALYs) associated with each intervention were estimated.
The model indicates that annual societal cost of COPD is $4.52 billion (B) Canadian dollars in 2011 and will reach $3.61B ($7.33B undiscounted) per year in 2035. Over the next 25 years, COPD will be responsible for approximately $101.4B in societal costs ($147.5B undiscounted) and 12.9 million QALYs lost (19.0 million undiscounted). Our results suggested that the best strategy to reduce the financial burden of COPD is by reducing exacerbations. Smoking cessation, while it is the cornerstone of COPD prevention, has only a modest effect in attenuating the financial burden of COPD over the next 25 years in Western countries such as Canada.
Our data suggest that any intervention that can reduce the number of exacerbations has a substantial impact on morbidity and costs of COPD and should be considered in conjunction with the ongoing efforts to reduce smoking rates.

Ayer Reveals Jared Leto's Tattooed "Suicide Squad" Joker
I'm really getting addicted to Roger Langridge's journal-style writeups of the cons he goes to. His latest one is of Kids Read Comics, which took place in Ann Arbor, Michigan, last weekend, but to get the full effect, you should also read his account of the trip from North Carolina to Ann Arbor via Greyhound bus, which is sort of a worst-case scenario.
Those who couldn't be there can experience the con vicariously through podcasts; the KRC folks recorded their panel on Comics Programming in Libraries, and TGT Webcomics podcaster Kurt Sasso has video interviews up with a number of guests, including Sara Turner (The Ghosts of Pineville) and Krishna Sadasivam (PC Weenies). Sadavisam checks in as well with his own con report, and Ryan Estrada wraps it up with a truly awesome story about a kid cartoonist. There's more at the official Kids Read Comics website and Twitter feed.

Who were Blago's early backers?
Posted by Joseph Ryan on Fri, 04/03/2009 - 13:39
Few defend Rod Blagojevich now, but most of the Democratic establishment backed him for years, helping him edge out primary opponent Paul Vallas and cruise to a second term in 2006.
The indictment released Thursday made it clear that Blagojevich and his inner circle had planned to rob the taxpayers once in office to both pad their wallets and to ensure their political viability.
So, we at Animal Farm thought it would be interesting to take a trip back to the summer of 2001 when U.S. Rep. Blagojevich announced his bid for governor.
Shortly thereafter a slew of Democratic powerbrokers came to his aid and started the snowball rolling towards primary night.
From the governor's own campaign Web site, we find a list of the first Democrats, most of them masters of the 'machine,' to get the ball rolling for Blagojevich:
Chicago Elected Officials choose Blagojevich for Governor
August 27, 2001, 1:00 PM
Commitment to education and prescription drugs again draw wide support.
Over 30 federal, state, county and local elected officials from the City of Chicago endorsed Democrat Rod Blagojevich for Governor today, citing his record as a state legislator and Congressman and praising his commitment to improving public education and providing expanded prescription drug benefits for Illinois seniors.
"We are unwavering in our support of Rod Blagojevich because he has been unwavering in the fight to create opportunity, strengthen families and improve the quality of life for everyone in Illinois," said U.S. Representative Bill Lipinski, who is also Committeeman of the 23rd Ward.
Lipinski was joined by 14th Ward Alderman Ed Burke, U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky and State Senator and 9th CD State Central Committeewoman Carol Ronen who topped a list of top Cook County elected and party officials who announced their support of Blagojevich.
"I am with Rod 100% because he has what it takes to win – money, message and an army of supporters," said Burke, referring to a rousing announcement speech given by Blagojevich to a reported throng of 10,000 people on August 12. Burke also mentioned filings with election officials that show Blagojevich with over $3 million in his campaign fund, double the amount of cash on hand of all of his potential Democratic opponents combined.
"Rod Blagojevich has pulled together an unprecedented group that has unified all wings of the Democratic Party behind his call to improve our schools and make sure every senior citizen in Illinois can afford prescription drugs," added Schakowsky.
The campaign released the following list of 35 endorsers, several of whom were in attendance at a downtown news conference:

Kansas Sens. Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts, and Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt
— all Republicans — voted Tuesday to continue the filibuster against a bill extending unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless.
In something of a surprise, though, the Senate voted to halt the filibuster by a 60-37 margin, the bare minimum. Sen.
Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, was one of those voting to stop the talk-a-thon.
The Senate vote, while surprising, doesn't mean the bill will become law. It must still pass the Senate, and then the House, where prospects are much cloudier.

The 2nd oldes lighthouse in Scotland, Southerness was built by private funding and never actually came under the management of Trinity House. On a clear day you can see all the way to the IOM from the top.
I've included more foreground than perhaps is the norm, but i liked the tones and textures to be found in there.
Thanks for looking, hope you like it, all critique welcome.

Hi Ian,
I like the composition with more foreground than the norm as you put it, it's made a strong looking image that works well in B&W. But that said I think you could make it look more like a thunderstorm is about to happen or has just passed. If you have "elements/PS etc" in your blend modes there is an option for "Overlay" select this and it will alter the colours and contrast in a subtle way, yes I know it's in mono but it still works , then, if you think it's too much reduce the opacity (I did to 45%) and erase the effect from the sky and rock pools. Next make a selection of the sky and alter the midtones in "levels" and add a black gradient, this can be found at the base of your layer pallet, click on the half black half white circle and select gradients from the options then, again in blend modes select "soft light" again reducing the opacity if you want then with a soft brush erase from the bottom of the sky if you think it need's it, job done
Ian I have removed seven spots from the sky which could be dust spots, have a look it may be something that needs addressing.
Take care

Thanks for taking the time Martin, your mod is certainly interesting though I think I can detect haloes.
Re the spots, I have some dust bunnies at the moment and forgot to clean them up, thanks for pointing them out.

Zipf worked with language and text. He would take a book and count the number of times each word was used. Then he would rank these words by most common to least common. In analyzing the results he formulated Zipf's Law:
r f = C
where r is the word rank f is the frequency (or how many times it occurred) C is a constant that depends on the text being analyzed.
So, for a text with 200,000 words we would expect to see the most common word about 20,000 times; the second ranked word 10,000 times, the third 6,667 times ... (20,000 / 1, 20,000 / 2, 20,000 / 3 ... ) and the 50th most common word 400 times (20,000 / 50).
A generalization from this can be made: a few things happen a lot, a bunch of things happen fairly often, and a lot of things rarely happen at all.
Zipf's Law, though would seem to apply to only a few phenomena, has actually been discovered to apply to a multitude of events. The first pattern that George Zipf discovered was the English language which the occurrence of words used in common speech follows the distribution pattern. "The" is used approximately twice as often as the second most common word, and three times as much as the third, and so on. However, city sizes in the United States have also met this pattern throughout history, even though the cities in the ranking have changed. New York the largest city, was both four times as large as Los Angles in 1950, when it was the fourth largest city, and four times as large as the fourth city in 1998, Houston. This pattern also holds true for natural occurrences such as earthquakes. The applications of this simplistic relationship seem to be never ending.

Must-See Awesome Bicycle Concepts
From past to future the concept of bicycles hasn't changed much, a seat, pedal, two wheels and frame. While one shouldn't try to change which is not broken, but here are custom-made bicycle concept.
1. Cube Urban Street Bike Concept
Do you love folding bikes ? Do you always argue that "I don't have room for bicycle" ? then now your argument is invalid because of this awesome concept bike ! The design ditches the top stoy and seat tube from the traditional cycles, that can reduce a huge amount of weight from the cycle. It is designed by student of Coburg University Germany, lets hope that the concept transits into real life product.
2. Forkless Cruiser Bike Concept by Olli Erkkila
The ride looks confusing as the front fork is missing, it is not an advancement in the technology but it's still something that we haven't seen in past. Here is a photo gallery of the concept.
3. Artikar by Ben Wilson
A bicycle with four wheels and fluorescent enclosed lights. I call it a car with pedal, it has comfy seat and awesome looks. Wonderful design by Ben Wilson. Here have a look at the photo gallery.
4. Furious Sports Bike Concept
An awesome sports bike concept by Nenad Kostadinov, this time the experiment is done with down tube and top stoy by removing them. Unlike other bicycle concept this looks more sturdy and efficient. It has on board computer which displays lots of information about the ride.
5. Chris Boardman's Intelligent Bike Concept
A solar-powered back up motor, on board computer, spoke free wheel design and finger print security are the features that made us include this concept bicycle in the list. The concept is designed to add all the future level functionality to the cycle and it looks super awesome !
6. Ruiter Simplicity Bike Concept
Joey Ruiter is the developer of this concept bicycle, the cycle is based on the simplicity. The pair of two wheels, frame and handle is the only thing in the cycle. The chain is removed from the concept and the pedals are directly connected to the rear wheel. There is a simple bike computer for GPS to reach from point A to point B. Here are the photos of the cycle.
7. Peugeot B1k
Peugeot is not only awesome in creating top-notch automobiles but they have designed as awesome bicycles ! Their latest pride is B1K concept bike. Its a bicycle with joystick kind of handles with a raised seat and pedals attached to wheels directly, its a chain-less bicycle. It's the sexiest bike I've ever seen.
8. Eco 07 Bike by Victor Aleman
Another folding bicycle concept on the list, it looks fabulace, with its contracting colors from orange to gray it has awesome look when unfold. It is a full size bike but when you fold it, it becomes a suitcase and can be transported anywhere. Have a look at few photos of the concept.
9. Dual System Bike Concept by Brian
Are you tired of pedaling, here is an awesome concept by Brian. The cycle is combination of electric power with muscle power. It can help you pedal up the hills. Here have a look at the photo.
This are the concept bikes we thought are cool, now its your turn did we missed any bikes ? Do you have suggestion for new concept bicycles ? Do let us know in the comments.

Any bicycle is strictly human-powered vehicle. Anything that has some sort of alternate power source that aids in or replaces pedaling is no longer a bicycle and defeats the entire purpose of cycling.

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
power combos in danger room
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
Jean's Psionic Boom and Xavier's Crushing Ego are two of the better combo hitting skills, either by the AI or player controlled. The skills with a stun effect or a radial attack are the best to use for combos. Xavier's "CE" has a 4 second stun at level one, so it's the best one in my opinion. Don't forget Magneto's Levitation and Jean's Telekinesis can pick up and throw most enemies at level one, for the batter up combo. | |
thanks, i'll try that, but isn't Xavier unlocked only after you beat all the danger room missions? | |
Yes, unless you use a cheat , you won't get Xavier until after you've finished all the DR courses. I always refererence him for combos, because that is his best function in this game, when combined with his combo XP bonus passive. | |
DR counts "Batter Up!" as a power combo. All you have to do for that is hit a teammate with an enemy. Throw an enemy physically, telekinetically, or with knockback from a powered attack and if he hits a teammate, you score a combo. Otherwise, your best bet is to use a cheap area affect power. Cyclops's Optic Flash (with only one point in it) works well. You can fire it often and hit multiple enemies. Keep your hand on the "call allies" button to get your teammates to use their powers as much as possible. Magneto has a couple of powers that work really well, too. Shrapnel Sentry fires in an area burst when an enemy appears. Leave them near where the enemies spawn (or near a corner or something that they have to get around) and if your allies fire on sight, you'll have a good chance to score a combo. Magnetic Grasp is also really useful. It's got a wide area of effect, and it sends everyone in range flying - giving you a good chance at a Batter Up! combo. Some have had success with another strategy. Take one teammate with you. Just one. And learn the timing of your power move and his (from the time the animation begins to the time the power actually fires). Watch for his animation to start, then synch your timing so yours fires at the same time as his. Good luck. --- Scott Summers is the only man whose rose-colored glasses come with a full tactical display. |

When a new literary journal smashes the bottle of cheap, effervescing champagne against the iron side of the vessel and declares itself seaworthy, the problem of its existential self-justification arises: why yet another electronic literary journal to add to the online glut of verbiage? Are there not enough of you already?
At heart, we're basically dictators, the three of us; fascists and totalitarians of our own, personal aesthetic visions that we wish to impose on the rest of you, and it legitimizes our literary chauvisnism to have others, who we believe represent or somehow embody that aesthetic vision, published in our name. We hide behind the curtain.
We throw mud and water balloons and rubber chickens at each other until we have agreed upon who is to be in the While Whale Review. Burst your hot heart upon it.

Title: | Distribution, Present and Past, of Rattus praetor in the Pacific and Its Implications |
Author: | White, J Peter; Clark, Geoffrey; Bedford, Stuart |
Date: | 2000-04 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | White JP, Clark G, Bedford S. 2000. Distribution, present and past, of Rattus praetor in the Pacific and its implications. Pac Sci 54(2): 105-117. |
Abstract: | We outline the current distribution of Rattus praetor in Near
Oceania and present new evidence for its association with prehistoric human settlement on some islands in Remote Oceania. We discuss the problems of determining intentionality in the human transport of this animal, with reference to other examples of animal translocation in the Pacific. Current and prehistoric disjunct distributions of all domestic and nearly all wild mammals in both Near and Remote Oceania point to a common pattern of human behavior and in particular the deliberate translocation of R. praetor into Remote Oceania. |

Bill challenges ICANN, VeriSign
- Related Stories
ICANN names new CEO
March 19, 2003 -
Registrars rally behind ICANN
August 16, 2002 -
Court orders ICANN to open books
July 29, 2002
The bill also calls for a federal investigation of ICANN's business practices.
A pair of Washington state politicians, on behalf of a collection of companies that register domain names, said they intend to block a controversial procedure that would establish VeriSign as a central place to buy all expiring .com and .net domains. The legislation also considers transforming ICANN into a federal advisory committee, effectively ending its quasi-independent status as a separate organization that has a contract with the U.S. government.
Last year, ICANN approved a plan that would, in effect, give a sizable boost to VeriSign's bottom line by shifting revenue that is currently shared by the scores of accredited registrars. The registrars bitterly opposed the idea--called the Wait-Listing Service--but were rebuffed by the ICANN board.
In response, some irked registrars created the Domain Justice Coalition and turned to Congress for help. The bill, sponsored by Reps. Brian Baird and Jay Inslee, both Washington state Democrats, would place ICANN's decision on hold and order the U.S. General Accounting Office to investigate ICANN's business practices.
"The bill is necessary because ICANN has failed to follow its own policies," said Christine Jones, general counsel for registrar Go Daddy Software. "We're hoping that a study by the General Accounting Office over whether ICANN is effective in following its own rules will force ICANN to do what it's supposed to do, follow the consensus (among registrars), and oppose the Wait-Listing Service."
Called the Fair, Transparent, and Competitive Internet Naming Act of 2003, the bill requires the U.S. General Accounting Office, the auditing arm of the U.S. Congress, to "conduct a study regarding the business practices, procedures, accountability and administration" of ICANN. One of ICANN's own board members sued the group for access to its records, which led to a state judge last year ordering ICANN to open its books.
An ICANN spokeswoman said the wait-list change would not become effective until after an October board meeting in Carthage, Tunisia.
"We welcome any kind of interest in ICANN because we are a transparent and accountable organization," ICANN spokeswoman Mary Hewitt said. "Whether it's the U.S. government or Belgium that wants to look at us, we welcome the interest. We post everything on our Web site."

Steak Marinade with Beer and Garlic
This is a rich and full flavored recipe and it is the best steak marinade using beer as an ingredient. Beer has many different uses. It can be used to make a light and delicate batter for cod or similar fish, you can use it in the creation of satay sauce, or you can use beer to make a delicious marinade like we are doing here. If you are new to using beer in recipes, give it a go.
The results are really good. The finished steak will not taste like beer but you will find that the beer does add a heartiness to the flavor and adds an interesting earthy hint to the steak marinade. Basting the steak with this marinade while it cooks keeps the steak moist and adds more flavor. This recipe goes nicely with mashed potatoes, or you might prefer to serve it with fries.
The meat will come out really juicy and both the marinating and the basting help with this, as does only cooking it to medium-rare. Overcooking steak dries it out, so you will want to avoid that if you can. Cook this steak over a hot charcoal grill to infuse it with smoky flavor.
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup beer
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ lbs flank steak, scored
- ½ cup lemon juice
- Cook the garlic and onion in a skillet in half the oil until soft, then remove from the heat and add everything else except the flank steak.
- Put the meat in a baking dish and pour over the marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate between 6 and 12 hours, turning occasionally.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and broil or grill, basting frequently with the marinade.
Photo Description:
Flank steak has a distinctive appearance, as you can see in the photo. It comes in large pieces and has an almost ragged look when you cut it. Served with mashed potatoes or fries, this makes a hearty and delicious meal, especially if you accompany it with some vine tomatoes like you see in the picture, or a similar colorful salad ingredient. If you do not tell people that you have marinated the meat in beer, they will never be able to guess, because the flavor is not apparent in the finished dish. This is a satisfying meal and once you have seen the picture you will probably want to add this to your 'make very soon' list!
