Nicholas McGegan: A Time-Traveling Conductor
By Jim Cotter
The renowned British conductor and early-music expert Nicholas McGegan is the conductor on Sunday's Philadelphia Orchestra In Concert broadcast on WRTI.
McGegan, an accomplished harpsichordist and flutist, specializes in Baroque, and early Romantic repertoire. But as WRTI's Jim Cotter reports, this doesn't stop him from being a strong advocate for new music.

Hy guys, i'am new around here, i work as a freelancer for some years and recently started to take a look at Envato.
i have a question that couldn't find the answer, let's say that i want to make an after effects template to promote a phone or a tablet, am i allowed to film/shoot/recreate the specific user interface of the device and post it on the device, for example an iPhone promoting template in which the phone goes trough diffrent parts of the sistem ex: messaging browsing photo gallery
Hi the7arts,
Based on my experience in VH any usage of apple product's UI is prohibited because of apples "unique" copyright and your template will be rejected by VH reviewer. If you are forced to show something appearing in the screen it's best if it's your own graphic or CC material.
In my case I used snapshots of envato websites. http://bit.ly/122oM5c
Best of luck -Yasush
hy man, thanks for your replay, so i guess if i want to make something that relates to apple, android or anything else i have to make something my self that looks alike. I get that, but knowing that the end product would be something that helps them promote their product, i tought that i can use the UI from their products.
You can make something similar but with different naming and without their logos. Take a look at other iWhatever templates here and everything will be clearer

Kistler Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2009
Chardonnay from Carneros, California
Winemaker's Notes
A wine of weight, without being heavy that is consistently supported by a strong acid profile and a steely like sulfide character.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "The 2009 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is one of the most complete wines in this lineup. It boasts extraordinary class and elegance from start to finish. All of the elements are in the right place in this multi-dimensional, textured Chardonnay. Pineapple, mango, spices, white flowers and creme brulee are some of the many nuances that inform the understated, polished finish. This striking wine is all about nuance and transparency."
International Wine Cellar - "Bright gold. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of candied lemon, pear skin, iodine and smoky minerals. Dry, incisive citrus fruit and floral flavors show excellent clarity and intensity, with a touch of licorice adding depth. The mineral note comes back strong on the clinging finish."
Wine Spectator - "This tight, flinty Chardonnay features intense, focused and taut flavors of nectarine, peach and snappy honeydew melon, ending with a spicy mineral edge."

Kistler Winery
Founded in 1978, Kistler Vineyards is a small, family-owned and operated winery specializing in the production of Burgundian style Chardonnay and limited amounts of Pinot Noir. Grapes are estate grown and purchased from vineyards in Sonoma County. In 1992, Kistler Vineyards moved all production to its Vine Hill Road Vineyard in the Russian River Valley.

About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

I haven't been updating this blog as frequently as I had hoped. This has a lot to do with two writing projects that take most of my attention away from blogging. I'll mention them here to share some ideas of what I think is relevant and to see whether anyone's interested in publishing or reviewing. The book titles are arbitrary at the moment, but the main idea will become clear.
Tactical Security
The main goal of this book is to guide you through the process of finding a way of cooperation with deciders and getting to a point where you can setup security strategies and designs that you can agree on as a team, in environments that aren't perfect (like most of them).
For this reason, it contains strategic advice and examples of real-life situations where "policy versus practice" is a problem you need to work around in the field of security.

US Standard Issue Polarized Straight Jacket®
Oakley made Straight Jacket® for those who understand that style is something you define yourself — it's not the world's idea of how you should look. If you need the world's opinion, Straight Jacket® isn't meant for you. The first design was created more than a decade ago, and it blended the art of Oakley with the science of precision optics. This latest edition combines aggressive styling with the best technologies ever to dominate light rays.
- Oakley's partnership with the U.S. Armed Forces began in the 1980's. The alliance was formed to develop new technologies that improve the safety, performance and comfort of our soldiers. Oakley's initiative in Research and Development continues to produce combat ready equipment for those whose lives depend on their gear. We are humbled to be able to play a role in protecting our soldiers. Oakley takes great pride in offering the highest quality products to our men and women in uniform. Many of these products were only sold through limited channels, but now we are bringing these military quality products to Oakley direct to make obtaining them even easier.
Plutonite® Lens
One of the most optically pure materials used in eyewear today, it maximizes clarity and impact resistance while filtering out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. Not a coating, the UV protection is from the lens material itself.
High Definition Optics®
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) is a collection of patented technologies that allow Oakley eyewear to meet or exceed the testing standards of the American National Standards Institute for optical clarity, visual fidelity, and impact resistance.
Impact Protection
Backed by decades of innovation, Oakley performance eyewear offers uncompromising protection against high-velocity and high-mass impact. The protection is a benefit of the premium materials and unique architectures of Oakley lens/frame combinations.
UV Protection

Three-Point Fit
A patented innovation that ensures the frame makes contact only at the bridge of the nose and the sides of the head. It holds lenses in precise optical alignment with a secure fit that eliminates the pressure points common with frames that hook the ears.
A stress-resistant frame material that withstands environmental extremes, it is lightweight yet highly durable. Controlled flexibility enhances impact resistance while contributing to the all-day comfort of frames made with this innovative synthetic.
A soft hydrophilic synthetic, it increases adhesion when wet to grip better when you perspire. This makes it ideal for earsocks and nose pads in performance eyewear.

2009 BEST Men's Shoes
Ideal for men who refuse to be pigeonholed, Nordstrom's vast, easy-to-navigate department doesn't arrange according to type: Here, we're all preppy European bankers who skateboard down Mount Washington on the weekends. The 50-plus lines of shoes comprise Mephisto sandals, Converse Jack Purcells, Santoni dress shoes, and Bruno Magli moccasins (like the kind John-John used to wear). Major twice-yearly sales make it easy to snag a classic pair of Ferragamos for under $200, while the store's famously unfailing customer service lets us return any pair that gives us blisters, or otherwise rubs us the wrong way.

Re: Pearson 36-2 rub rail damage
I have a Pearson 36-2 and have had the rub rail replaced.
I cannot speak to the detail of the repair (it was included in the repair of the deck at the chain plates at purchase) as I did not do it myself but did observe some of the work and do most of my repair work where indoor facilities or special tools are not required.
This said, It is fairly straight forward and I did talk with the shop that did mine.
The 36-2 has an outward hull to deck joint flange. the rub rail itself is an L shaped extrusion that hangs over the joint (upside-down L) and is fastened with through bolts through the teak toe rail. Since the L section is wider than the joint itself, it easy to bump it and break it because the L is has no supporting material behind it. I have seen this breakage on several other Pearson's of the same rub rail design. If I had the funds, I would bolt on an aluminum toe rail
There is a second smaller L section cap that is screwed from beneath to cover all the bolts from the bottom side with wood screws. It is screwed in at more of an upside down V with screws at the V point to cover the bottom through bolts)
The best place to observe the assembly is at the stern because it does not have the smaller L section cover cap and you can see the through bolts, and the overhang of the rub rail L section.
To remove the rub rail you will need to remove the entire teak toe rail or as far is you wish to scarf a section in, save your bolts.
When mine was removed, there was no caulk however I would suggest using 4200 when replacing it as there is many opportunities for leaks to form from the flange seal, the through bolt holes and the backing L cap that screws right into the bottom with wood screws (not nice as it is blindly screwed).
My 36-2 does have leaks, so the wholes assembly is suspect. The good thing is that you can reach all of the bolts from the outside unlike most bolts which have an inward flange.
If you do have leaks on the inside of the boat at the hull to deck joint you can observe the factory caulking from the inside . A good place to do this is in the port side lazaret, lots of space to get a look at it. If you notice caulking gaps, do not be surprised. You may be able to caulk a bit from the inside as I did in some places but it is best addressed from the top or in the joint itself .
Keep in mind, most water running off the deck runs into the rub rail extrusion then goes to the lowest drain near the cockpit coaming. Since water can reach the Rub-rail extrusion, it can get under it so... caulk it.
I wil be replacing toe rail in the off season, so if I remove the rub rail i will try to post pics.
good luck!

Opinions clash over whistleblower act
Tuesday - 12/14/2010, 9:31am EST
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
The Senate has passed a bill to beef up protection for some whistleblowers in the federal government. The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act covers baggage screeners at the Transportation Security Administration, intelligence agency workers, and federal scientists who challenge censorship and government contractors. The bill calls for agency inspectors general to create whistleblower ombudsman positions to help employees understand their rights.
The House version of the measure still hasn't made it out of committee.
Steve Kohn, executive director of the National Whistleblowers Center, who says it's a flawed bill in need of fixing and a bad deal for feds,
While Kohn told Federal News Radio his group accepts compromise, the bill contains provisions that actually roll back current employee rights and we think it's wrong to use an enhancement act to take away rights."
Of major concern to Kohn is a provision in the bill that he said is "a change in the definition of a protected disclosure. Today, any federal employee who blows the whistle on a reasonably perceived violation of law is protected. The enhancement act will change that and create this category of quote-unquote 'minor' violations of law which is undefined."
According to Kohn, employees need to be able to blow the whistle without fear of retaliation even on minor violations. "Frauds are detected from minor violations," he explained. "It's very hard for someone just to find the big scandal. You find it through the little pieces."
Also of concern, said Kohn, is the granting of a "new authority to issue summary decisions" by the Merit Systems Protection Board, without the allegation ever reaching court.
The Naitional Whistleblowers Center is urging the House and the Senate to fix the provisions"this term," said Kohn. "It's not that hard."
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who says the Act promotes government accountability, told Federal News Radio it may be too late to make major changes to the Senate proposal.
"The clock is running," said Van Hollen. "There are only a few weeks left and the question is whether you roll the dice and risk the whole effort failing in order to get some of these changes now, and I think the judgment's going to be that we should take these improvements, they are an important step forward. I would agree with those who are disappointed that we didn't get more, but this is one of those cases of hard choices. I think it would be risking a lot to play chicken on this because the likely outcome would be that we get nothing. This is always a building process and we believe this is one important brick added to the protections for whistleblowers."
While Van Hollen concedes there are some "who do not believe that (the Senate version) goes far enough" in changing current whistleblower protections, "in my view it's still a step forward."
Increased protections, said Van Hollen, include "in limited circumstances, for non-national security whistleblowers to have their day in court, number one. Number two, the federal circuit court has had a monopoly on the review of these whistleblower cases." Whistleblower suits could now be filed in any of the circuit courts in the country, increasing interpretation of the cases, he said, and making it more convenient for the majority of federal workers who live and work outside the Washington, DC area.
"The other major change here," said Van Hollen, "is it does extend more protections to national security whistleblowers." Where there is no defined process now, the Act, for the first time, "will require a formal fact finding investigation by inspector generals (sic) and requires the intelligence community to develop a review process for whistleblowers who want to appeal that first round of decisions." The act also provides protections for people who say their security clearances were revoked in retaliation for their whistleblowing.
The Senate's version, said Van Hollen, "doesn't create the kind of mechanisms we wanted to do in the House bill," but he said to watch for it to be debated on the House floor. "It's possible to amend it, of course, but that would risk sending it back."
John Palguta, vice president for policy at the Partnership for Public Service agreed with Van Hollen. "I think this is a step in the right direction. Is it going to be perfect? No. It's evolutionary."
Palguta told feds to "stay the course," and remember the law was intended to protect the public interest. "What we have is the third attempt to refine the law. It's not that the earlier laws were horrible or terrible, it was just that, as we've learned over time, that there's ways to make them more effective."

A Brisbane mother will face court next month on charges of
supporting terrorism after being arrested while trying to
leave Australia with her four young children.
The 29-year-old woman was charged as a result of a
counter-terrorism operation that focuses on foreign
incursions, an Australian Federal Police spokesman told AAP.
Detectives from the NSW joint counter-terrorism team stopped
the woman at Sydney airport on May 3 as she tried to board an
international flight with her children.
The woman is believed to be the wife of Mohamed Elomar, who
is reportedly fighting in Syria.
She was living in Brisbane at the time of her arrest but her
husband is believed to be from Sydney.
She's due to appear before Sydney's Downing Centre Local
Court on June 2.
Mohamed Elomar's uncle, also named Mohamed, was jailed for
plotting to blow up a Sydney army base and his brother Ahmed
is due to be sentenced for his role in the 2012 Hyde Park

In a recent experiment on sleep deprivation, the participants, who were in their early 20s, were divided into four groups. Group 1 volunteers slept for four hours per night over a two-week period, Group 2 volunteers slept for six hours, Group 3 members slept for eight hours, and Group 4 members had no sleep at all for three days straight. At the end of the two weeks, those who had slept for eight hours a night functioned well—no surprise there. But the big surprise was that there was no difference in performance level between those who had slept four or six hours for two weeks and those who had not slept at all for three days. The experiment showed that adolescents cannot perform well without any sleep but also that they can't perform well with much less than the nine hours they require.
What exactly is less than optimal performance? Is it really all that bad? As you'll see in the following sections, statistics show that chronic sleep deprivation puts teens in a blunted, muted "slough state," severely reducing their ability to learn, behave, and live at their best.
Lack of sleep impacts teens' physical health in several different ways. For one, it impairs their immune system, interfering with their white blood cells' ability to fight off infection in the bloodstream; experiments have shown that once in sleep debt the body's number of T cells decreases by 30 to 40 percent. That suggests that sleep-deprived teens are much more likely to catch the colds, flus, and other acute and chronic illnesses that seem to be permanent inhabitants of most high schools and teen activity centers. And that of course means they'll be missing classes and sports events, with all that entails, feeling crummy and worn out, and behaving even more like bears than ever. It could also mean they're more susceptible to catching potentially serious viruses or developing intercurrent, or coexisting, illnesses.
Once tired teens come down with a cold or flu, their compromised immune system may also cause the condition to hang on longer. The National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research warns that sleep

Surely fourm member there's no mistake, you have been on this website and a contributor long enough to know how it works. You like everyone else have a view, and you have the right like the rest of us on how you wish to express that view. The only point is that at some stage, people need to agree to disagree, and not always accept what is being forced on them by another member, usually as a fact?.

Of course the best way to save money on food is to be sensible about 'Best Before' dates. 'Best Before' means exactly that it doesn't mean that the food suddenly becomes uneatable the instant the date passes.
I used to work in the Flour Milling industry and bags of flour produced on the same day had widely differing Best Before dates. Self Raising flour had a 6 month date and Plain Flour an 18 month date. The reason is that the raising ingredients in Self Raising Flour slowly loose their effectiveness over time hence the shorter date, but there is nothing wrong with the flour itself that a teaspoon of baking powder won't remedy.

With a Severe Cold Snap on the Way, CFPUA Offers Tips to Prevent Water Pipes from Freezing
With temperatures predicted to be well below freezing for several days in the region, water pipes in area homes have a greater chance of freezing and possibly bursting.
The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority is offering a few reminders that could prevent the record-breaking cold from becoming an expensive ordeal.
From CFPUA:
Preventive measures:
- Tightly close doors and windows to the outside.
- Insulate pipes in unheated or drafty areas. Hardware and plumbing supply stores carry insulation to keep pipes from freezing.
- Shut off and drain the pipes leading to your outside faucets so no water is left to freeze, expand and cause a leak in these lines.
- Close the inside valves and drain the pipes leading to your outside hose bib or faucet.
- Know where the main shut off valve is and label it. Minimize the potential for water damage by ensuring that everyone in the household knows how to shut off the water in case of an emergency.
For a significant cold snap like this one, people may want to consider the following tips:
- Open the cabinets beneath any place with a water supply, such as the kitchen and bathroom sinks. This will allow warm air to circulate. (Remove any toxic substances first if there are small children or pets in the home.)
- To prevent your pipes from freezing, allow a faucet to drip cold water slowly. The faucet you choose should be the one that is the greatest distance from your main water shut off valve. It does NOT need to be a running trickle.
If someone turns on a faucet and only sees a trickle of water coming out or no water at all and it has been very cold for a period of time, suspect a frozen pipe or meter and take these steps:
- Identify whether the problem is throughout the house or in one area. If it's only in one area of your household, you may be able to thaw the pipe by opening the cabinets and allowing the warmer air to circulate around the pipes.
- NEVER thaw a pipe with an open flame. You can use a hair dryer on low or a portable heater. Avoid using electrical appliances if there is standing water.
- Use warm water to soak towels then wrap the towels around the frozen pipes.
- If the problem persists, contact a licensed plumber for additional guidance.

This medication focuses on the therapy of spine misalignment and avoids health troubles that are allied with the nerves.
Requirements to become a chiropractic specialist are pointed out further a 4-year undergraduate/college prerequisite in most states. The training includes 4 years that is divided into 2 years of standard sciences with a requirement of effective completion of Part 1.
The training duration of a chiropractic specialist is of 2 years that includes the medical sciences after which National Boards, Part 2 is needed. Part 3 of the National Boards chiropractic training is needed if the chiropractic specialist plans to utilize physiological therapeutics in practice then.
The diagnostic imaging, chiropractic method and case management, abilities of a chiropractor are tested in the 4th part of the educational program that could be required for the state certain useful exam in some states. To become a licensed chiropractic specialist 1 year internship period at an university facility is likewise needed for those training to become a chiropractic practitioner.
Requirement to become a chiropractic practitioner also include optionally readily available preceptorship programs that are set up after the study program of the boards. These programs are taken by the individual training, are finished prior to chiropractic licensure and are the basics of the the internship requirements. The abilities that are consisted of in the private practice are found out during the internship program and by practicing in a clinic outside the teaching institution.
Post- graduate requirements to become a chiropractor are 40 hours of authorized course work that credits every 2 years, that is also common in other states and is needed to become a chiropractor. The chiropractic specialists can work to the objective of acquiring board accreditation that is available at the post-graduate residency programs.
Many of the chiropractic colleges offer these programs in 1st and 3rd year syllabus or these can be taken while in exercising at various facilities across the United States of America. Chiropractic doctors coursework includes 300+ hours, with least duration of practice of 5 years. Written and oral exam are followed by these 5 years of practice is followed for successful conclusion this course.
The accreditation programs of chiropractic includes of Orthopedics, radiology, Nutrition, Sports Medicine, Family Practice, Rehabilitation and so on. Like other physicians, a typical routine to obtain needed info to diagnose and deal with patients is followed by the professionals at Chiropractor. Patient's medical history, neurological tests, orthopedic exams and case history is required by these individuals. They may likewise suggest some laboratory evaluations.
The Chiropractors lay emphasis on radiotherapies like X rays and various other diagnostic images that are important for the medical diagnosis of the spine troubles. Professionals at the Chiropractor also study the posture of the client and spine with the use of the special treatment. Chiropractic doctors by hand adjust the spine for clients whose health problems can be traced to the musculoskeletal system.
Many others alternative medicines such as therapies utilizing light, water, ultrasound, massage and energy treatments are recommended to the patients. The Chiropractors likewise utilize heat and acupuncture. Supports such as braces, straps, and tapes are also made use of that can be adjusted manually.

Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. I hope you enjoy your zombie-fighting plants with microtransactions, because the official Plants vs. Zombies sequel is going freemium. Electronic Arts revealed today that developer PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time is due out July 18 for iOS devices as a free download. This followup has the first game's Crazy Dave and a bunch of familiar plants traveling through the fourth dimension to battle the undead in ancient Egypt, pirate times, and more. The press release also says that PopCap designed the game "from the ground up as a live service," but it doesn't elaborate on what that means. We've asked the studio to explain the live service and when it might release PVZ2 for other platforms. We will update with its response. "We're confident that players will see the love and attention we've put into this game," PopCap senior producer Allen Murray said in a statement. "We've created wild new ways to experience the plants and zombies you know and love as well as packing the game with tons of completely new content, and we're still hard at work coming up with even more cool stuff that will keep Plants vs. Zombies 2 fresh and evolving in the months and years following launch." Plants vs. Zombies originally hit PC in 2009. This was well before freemium established itself as the default business model for casual games. In 2012, we spoke with PopCap about shifting to a free-to-play model. The company wanted to take its time on the sequels so that it could get everything right, and that obviously includes using microtransactions. The Plants vs. Zombies debuted for $20.

Studies in paleontology during 2000 offered intriguing new information on topics ranging from the origins of fish and feathers to long-term evolutionary patterns in marine communities. Until that time, little was known about the origin of vertebrates. While the Cambrian Period marked the beginning of an explosive evolutionary radiation among the major groups of invertebrates with hard parts, fish were absent from this first phase of rapid diversification of multicelled animals. Recently described finds from the Early Cambrian Chengjiang beds of China, however, included delicate small fossils that revealed vertebrate-like skulls, gills, and muscles. These specimens pushed the known origin of vertebrates back by as much as 50 million years; previously, the oldest known fish were from the Late Cambrian.
Bony fish were the most diverse group (greatest number of species) of vertebrates, yet few fossils have been found that offer details of their origin and subsequent split into the ray-finned and lobe-finned clades. (A clade is a single lineage composed of a common ancestor and all of its descendants.) A recent paper published by a paleontologist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, however, extended the fossil record of bony fishes back to the boundary of the Silurian and Devonian periods, about 408 million years ago. Unlike previous early bony-fish fossils, the Chinese specimen included a mixture of lobe-finned and ray-finned features and thus could provide insight into the origin of bony fish from more primitive types of fish. A second study on early bony fish described the most primitive braincase ever found of a ray-finned fish. This 400 million-year-old specimen from southeastern Australia exhibited primitive features previously unknown from any bony-fish fossils, including an opening for a cartilaginous eyestalk.
A controversial paper published in June again raised the issue of feathered reptiles and the origin of birds. After having been housed in a Russian research institute for decades, a 220 million-year-old fossil of a reptile named Longisquama insignis was reevaluated by a group of Russian and American scientists and determined to have had featherlike appendages. The scientists further suggested that the mouse-sized creature could have been an ancestor of modern birds. Because Longisquama was not a dinosaur and may not even have been an archosaur (a larger group that includes some primitive reptiles as well as dinosaurs, crocodiles, and pterosaurs), this suggestion conflicted with the prevailing idea supported by most paleontologists that birds evolved from theropods (carnivorous dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus). Critics of the study claimed that the structures described may not have been feathers at all but could instead have been indicative of large membranous scales. They also argued that even if the structures were feathers or featherlike, other birdlike features were not present in this primitive reptile. A complete analysis that included all of the important derived features of birds continued to place them with the theropod dinosaurs.
A third specimen of the much-debated feathered theropod dinosaur, Caudipteryx, was described during the year by a scientist at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology. Although the specimen lacked a head, the report indicated that it had well-preserved feather impressions and that the skeleton was much better preserved than those of the two earlier specimens described in 1998. The study claimed that although the specimen exhibited some new bird features that were generally not found in theropods, such as an appendage on the foot for perching, it also had 16 dinosaur-like characteristics previously unknown in Caudipteryx. Though many seemed convinced that these findings added new strength to the view that dinosaurs and birds are related, others questioned whether this animal had true avian feathers.
A study of 12 articulated ornithomimid dinosaur skeletons discovered in 1997 in the Cretaceous Ulansuhai Formation in China revealed some startling new information about the diet of ornithomimids. Although ornithomimids were toothless, they clearly were theropod dinosaurs; consequently, it was long assumed that they were probably toothless carnivores, feeding on small prey much like modern carnivorous birds. These new skeletons, however, had preserved masses of gastroliths inside the rib cage of each animal. Gastroliths are commonly known as "stomach stones," and they have also been found in the rib cages of many of the large sauropod dinosaurs, such as Apatosaurus. The presence of gastroliths suggested that ornithomimids, like the sauropods, were herbivorous rather than carnivorous. The gastroliths function as a grinding mechanism in the stomach to aid in the digestion of coarse plant material. Many modern herbivorous birds use fine-grained gravel or grit in a similar fashion to grind up plant material in the stomach.
Investigators described an oviraptorosaur from Mongolia with a pygostyle, which suggested that this small theropod dinosaur may have had a tail fan of elongate feathers. The pygostyle, comprising several fused vertebrae at the end of the tail, is typically found only in birds. Because other features, however, place oviraptorosaurs at some distance from the origin of birds, the investigators suggested that this structure originated independently in the two groups.
A recent study by a researcher at the National Geological Museum of China and others described Jeholodens jenkinsi, the most complete skeleton of a triconodont ever found. Members of the order Triconodonta were among the earliest (Late Triassic Epoch, 230 million to 208 million years ago) mammals known from the fossil record. They represent a clade much more primitive than even the modern egg-laying monotremes. Jeholodens exhibited predominantly primitive characteristics, but the structure of its shoulder was somewhat similar to that of more advanced mammal groups. This feature of Jeholodens apparently evolved independently of the advanced shoulder of modern mammals.
A primitive, limbed fossil snake from the Middle East was reported during the year in the journal Science. This 95 million-year-old fossil found in carbonate deposits near Jerusalem preserved portions of the hind limb, including the tibia, fibula, metatarsals, and phalanges. This species, Haasiophis terrasanctus, appears to be evolutionarily near the time when snakes evolved from their limbed predecessors. Loss of limbs is an event that may have occurred more than once during the evolution of snakes in the Late Cretaceous.
The extinctions of large terrestrial mammals and birds during the Quaternary Period (1.6 million years ago to the present) have long been a subject of debate among paleontologists. Contrasting theories blame the extinction on either dramatic climatic change or hunting by primitive human groups. A new study of the fossil record of a large flightless bird from Australia provided new evidence that climate was not a factor in these extinctions. The disappearance of this bird occurred approximately 50,000 years ago, a time when humans first arrived in Australia but not a time of major climate change.
Owing to the poor nature of the hominid fossil record, little has been known about the origin of bipedalism in hominids. A report published during the year on specimens of Australopithecus anamensis and A. afarensis indicated that those primitive hominids retained the specialized wrist structure and function associated with knuckle-walking primates. Because Australopithecus was clearly a hominid, this suggested that bipedalism evolved from knuckle-walking ancestors.
The fossil record often shows that when a new superior group of organisms arises, older, more primitive groups cannot compete and are quickly driven to extinction. Several paleontologists, however, reported that evolutionary patterns in bryozoans suggest that survival of the fittest does not necessarily require extinction of the less fit. They contended that the older cyclostome bryozoans coexisted with the newer cheilostomes for tens of millions of years during the Mesozoic Era until the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous Period 66.4 million years ago dramatically reduced the diversity of both groups. It was only then that the more advanced cheilostomes were able to significantly surpass the diversity level of the cyclostomes, which did not rebound from the extinction.
A recent analysis of long-term evolutionary patterns claimed that major changes in marine communities since the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon about 540 million years ago correlated with increased diversity in terrestrial communities. This was one of the first studies to link diversity trends in terrestrial and marine organisms.

A Dialectical Humanism
To my distress and perhaps to my delight, I order things in accordance with my passions.... I put in my pictures everything I like. So much the worse for the things--they have to get along with one another.
--Pablo Picasso
Might one sometimes judge a book by its cover? A most telling image adorns the front jacket of Marshall Berman's new book, Adventures in Marxism, produced with panache by the radical publisher Verso: a dancing Marx. Despite his aging years and huge gray mane, the old prophet still knows a few slick dance moves. He might be grooving to sixties rock and roll, a streetfighting man demanding the world and wanting it now, but his gleaming blue zoot suit suggests a jazzier Marx, a fifties retread, mellow and free, perhaps improvising and syncopating to a bebop alto sax. Berman has his millennial sage straddle both decades and affirms a Marxism that is melodic and ironic, yet somehow loud and rough and sexual, too. Here Berman's Marx isn't merely a "poet of commodities" (as Edmund Wilson once put it); his whole body is animated by commodities, contorting and twisting, matching their inexorable flow, trailing them as they exchange and circulate and shape the world in their own image.
And yet, for all this exuberance, once we open the book we hear a strangely hesitant Berman: He had, we're told, "doubts" about a book of this nature--a collection of previously published essays, mainly book reviews, most of them beautifully written, spanning a period of more than thirty years in publications ranging from the New York Times and the Village Voice to Dissent, New Left Review and the pages of this very magazine. At first, Berman says, "it looked like a pile of fragments that just didn't add up." Neither, apparently, did these fragments come from the "depths of an author's soul": They weren't like his masterpiece, All That Is Solid Melts Into Air. Nothing here seemed to come from those inner depths; nothing seemed to have the organic magic or psychic immediacy of a "book." Nothing solid seemed to stick as the years after 1982 melted away.
Still, Berman never stopped writing or teaching political theory and urbanism at the City University of New York. Meanwhile, and largely unbeknown to the author, his own "adventure" with Marx and Marxism was unfolding, a romantic voyage that occurred in books and real life. And it used and developed Marxism as a "special kind of human experience," a structure of feeling that is "different from ordinary life, joyful, liberating, thrilling, but problematic, scary, dangerous." Soon Berman spotted continuity, a larger order to his disparate jottings. In fact, the essays did add up, to an open-ended whole--a rather complex cubist canvas where each piece blurs and elucidates, complements and even undermines each other piece. They now have to try to get along with one another.
Berman's adventure really revolves around three of Marx's great texts: The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts (1844), The Communist Manifesto (1848) and Volume One of Capital (1867). But the trip also meant engaging with a diverse array of Marxist and Marxisant thinkers. Orthodox and obvious figures like Georg Lukacs, fleeting fellow travelers like Edmund Wilson, as well as heterodox, ambiguous and tormented free spirits--men perhaps nearer to Berman's heart and who hold the key to his impulses and yearnings: Walter Benjamin and Isaac Babel. En route, too, working-class heroes with somewhat loose Marxist credentials crop up and give new existential depth and breadth to the Marxist concept of world history and art: Studs Terkel, Meyer Schapiro and Arthur Miller. The first, in his sequence of oral histories of "ordinary people," has, says Berman typically, "dramatized brilliantly our workers' capacity to overcome misery by telling stories that give their misery meaning." Much like Miller's Death of a Salesman, Terkel has "told a story that puts all their miseries and all their meanings together, and enables us to imagine a greater meaning."
Imagining greater meaning was something both Benjamin and Babel tried to do in the first forty years of the twentieth century. Each succeeded admirably yet perished for his insights. Benjamin, the messianic Marxist whom Berman calls an "angel in the city," held a peculiar Marxist stance--full of Brechtian vulgarity and urbane sophistication, thriving on "the contradiction between the doom in his soul and his joy on the streets." These tensions were never quite worked through: Benjamin took his own life in 1940, stranded at a Spanish border crossing, fleeing the Gestapo, his heart giving out, unable to go on. It's said he died clutching his unfinished epic, the Arcades Project manuscript, a tome apparently more valuable to him than his life.
Alas, Benjamin wasn't the only Marxist "not allowed to finish." We hear these tragic last words uttered by Isaac Babel, one dark night in 1939, as Stalin's NKVD came to take him away. Nobody knows when exactly, but it seems that Babel got a bullet in the head in a labor camp during 1940, the same year that Benjamin OD'd on morphine. For years, Babel's whereabouts were mooted. Was he alive? Which camp was he in? Could he still write? Babel's second wife, Antonina Pirozhkova, did not give up hope until sometime in the late fifties, when she guessed the awful truth. Her poignant memoir, At His Side, vividly portrays their undying love in a time of cholera. (Berman pictures what might have been. He imagines a lovely scene where Babel and Benjamin, alive and safe, are now old men in New York City, enriching the city's Jewish intellectual culture, strolling down Central Park West with I.B. Singer and Bernard Malamud. We can almost see them in a sequel to Shadows on the Hudson.)
Berman has Babel come on like a sort of Nietzschean Marxist, with vague Trotskyist sympathies. Here Babel strikes one as a true Soviet believer who gladly built his house under the postrevolutionary volcano; a lonely intellectual from Odessa who lived dangerously, a Jew in the notoriously anti-Semitic Red Cavalry. Babel is mocked by his Bolshevik comrades for having glasses--"four eyes"--and because his aim is to "live without enemies." Under Gorky's tutelage, for a while Babel gained favor and fame with his "Red Cavalry" and Odessa stories, exquisitely crafted tales of post-1917 idealist hope and realist barbarity. Berman obviously sees Babel as someone who can teach Marxists a thing or two about monsters down the abyss, and who knew something about "daring and dread" but who nonetheless was "fully alive."

Guest Access
"Casa Foresti" is a 4-rooms, 120sq/m apartment with garden inside a 14th century building (renovated in 2009); it's located in the historic centre of Bettona, a lovely medieval village resting on top of a green hill coated in olive groves. Finely furnished and decorated, equipped with Wi-Fi, TV, hairdryer, dishwasher, washing machine, bed linen, towels and (we hope!) everything you might need to have in your own house, it's just the perfect place for your stay, offering you...
relax in the typical barrel-valuted living room;
fun while trying your cooking skills with real italian food in the lovely kitchen;
a beautiful dining room with wide windows overlooking the ancient etruscan walls
and a small terrace on the walls for an aperitivo while admiring the sunset on the hills.
Our comfortable holiday house, with room for up to 5 people (two communicating bedrooms), is the ideal option for a pleasant stay in Umbria, ensuring you moments of rest and relax between visits to the precious historic and cultural jewels of which Umbria is rich, either in the well-known cities like Assisi and Perugia and the "minor" centres to discover.
Interaction with Guests
On top of this, we - the Foresti family - really enjoy to get to know a little our guests by offering something to make their stay unique.
If we have time and if you wish to, we'll be glad to show you around some hidden spots in the local area, have you over for dinner or take you to a local winery, cheesemaker, restaurant or cultural event - obviously free of charge! My son Francesco speaks very good English and my wife Anna is available if you'd like to get some Italian cooking lessons. We'll do our best to make you feel really at home - of course without being invasive - so feel free to ask us about interesting destinations nearby, as well as restaurants or other local attractions! We live just upstairs of the apartment...
We'll be glad to help you get the best this region has to offer. Giorgio, Anna, Francesco and Lucilla Foresti are pleased to welcome you in their home for a pleasant stay in Bettona!
The Neighborhood
Bettona, is a beautiful small village of 300 people of Etruscan (4th century BC) and medieval origin, set on a hill overlooking Perugia and Assisi. Although tiny, in town you will find three restaurants, two bars, a small grocery shop with homemade food, a deli shop, a city museum, an international library, a multi-sport complex and, quite often, some social events where people gather to eat all together.
Bettona is quite close to every interesting destination in Umbria:
it is just 16 km far from Assisi, home of St. Francis and UNESCO Heritage Site;
5 km from Torgiano, renown worldwide for its precious wines;
10 km from Deruta, famous for its ceramics;
17 km from Bevagna, the town that turns medieval for the whole month of June;
20 km from Perugia, largest city in the region, seat of a large University for foreigners and with a young nightlife in its historic center;
22 km from Spello, 24 km from Montefalco, 26 km from Foligno, 33 km from Todi, 55 from Spoleto, each one a different medieval pearl to explore;
and 45 km from the shores of Trasimeno Lake and its wonderful tiny islands.
In one hour of travel by car it's possible to reach every destination in Umbria. If you're up for longer travels, Siena, Firenze and Roma are all within two hours.
Getting Around
Public transportation isn't that great in Umbria, we recommend renting a car (either in Perugia airport, 15km away, or Perugia train station) to experience Umbria at its best.
Parking spots are always available not more than a minute away from the house. At the moment of booking we provide a map of Bettona with everything the village has to offer and a map of Umbria with our favourite landmarks.
Other Things to Note
Just to be sure you won't have surprises when you arrive in Casa Foresti: being an old medieval house, the plan is circular and the two bedrooms are communicating; that means that in order to reach the living room and the bathroom, guests staying in the second bedroom can either pass through the first bedroom or through the patio (few steps outside). See the last picture (house plan).
Just the basic ones:
- PLEASE NOTE: Check-in is after 4pm, check-out before 10am. If you need to arrive earlier, PLEASE make sure to let us know in advance.
- The second bedroom can be arranged with two single beds or a double bed. Please let us know which arrangement you need, or you will find the two single beds by default.
- bed linen and towels are provided.
- no smoking inside the house, but there's an ashtray in the garden.
- in case of key loss, 25€ will be taken from your deposit.
- the most important: enjoy your stay!

We had a lovely time in Bettona at Anna & Giorgio's apartment. Everything about the apartment was exactly as described and there is a huge amount of space with a very nice sun room. It had everything we needed. Anna was also very kind and helpful. Bettona is a very pretty old town with fantastic views and easy access to other historical towns in the region and has the best gelato in Italy (officially) at Dulcinea in Passaggio.
We would recommend this as a great place to say.
Thank you.

Anna and Giorgio were wonderful hosts. Their place is beautiful and they couldn't have been more welcoming. Lots of space, great kitchen, spectacular views. It's a magical town on a hill that's one of a kind. The absolutely perfect place to explore Umbria from. Hope we are lucky enough to go back!
Before we arrived, the hosts provided very good communication about the apartment, how to find it and the area. When we arrived we were greeted by Anna's charming smile and she gave us a thorough tour of the apartment with clear instructions about using the appliances, heating, etc. and left us with a gift of wine and provisions for breakfast. The next morning, Giorgio kindly took us on a tour of the area, including local shopping and the nearby town of Bevagna, which was very helpful for getting oriented to explore this beautiful region. The apartment is just as described, with a well stocked kitchen and everything needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely like to return some day.
I was welcomed to Italy by Anna & Giorgio, two of the most enjoyable people I've ever met. The lovely apartment I rented from them was more than aptly equipped, and any questions I had Anna & Giorgio were ready to answer, and if they weren't sure, they found out and got back to me later. I don't think I could've found better hosts, they are wonderful people and made my vacation fantastic!
The 14th century house in Bettona is a fantastic place to stay and a great base for exploring Umbria. The apartment is very comfortable, well-equipped for travellers, and easy to locate. Our hosts were very punctual in responding to emails prior to our arrival, and made us feel very welcome. Thank you Anna and Georgio for our stay - only wish it had been longer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Giorgio's. Check-in time was flexible and communication was very easy. Parking space was adequate even for our large car. The home was clean, well equipped with linens and cleaning supplies in case we needed them. The home itself is beautiful and our visitors from the States were very impressed by it. We would recommend this apartment to anyone in the Assisi area.
We arrived at the home of Giorgio and his wife Anna and were met with the warmest welcome. The apartment was beautifully situated in the hillside village of Bettona overlooking the hills of Umbria. The apartment has everything you need and more- our hosts graciously had wine and fruit waiting for us as well as coffee, milk, bread and eggs to assist with getting us settled.
Bettona is a beautiful little village from which to easily explore the neighbouring towns (Assisi, Bavagna) and cities such as Perugia.
Giorgio and Anna were wonderful guides and took us to special local places in the area to buy cheese, wine and pasta.
We were delighted to have our hosts guide us through Assisi and share their knowledge of so much of the history of the site. We ended the day in the garden with our hosts and another couple sipping wine and enjoying fruit and cheeses from the area
We absolutely loved our 4 night stay - it was the end of our trip and truly a 5 star experience and one to always remember
Thank you Giorgio and Anna - we wish you all the best

About the Host, Anna & Giorgio
Hello, i'm Giorgio! After 33 years spent in Rome, where I studied and practiced law, I moved to Umbria to live in the countryside in a farming cooperative. After that, i managed a publishing house, a software house and a communication agency, while putting my heart and work in renewing the house in Bettona listed here on Airbnb. But I won't keep it all for me - I hope you'll come live it a little yourself!
I am a lover of traveling as well, either in Italy, Europe or Asia; I enjoy human contact and me and my family (my wife Anna, my daughter Lucilla and my son Francesco) will be happy to guide our guests, if they wish, to discover the nature, history, art and enogastronomy of this beautiful region. Hope to see you here soon!
Il mio nome è Giorgio, dopo 33 anni trascorsi a Roma dove ho studiato e esercitato la professione di avvocato, mi sono trasferito in Umbria per vivere in campagna in una cooperativa agricola. Terminata questa esperienza ho fondato e gestito una casa editrice, una software house, una attività di formazione e comunicazione. Una parte della mia casa, ristrutturata di recente è dedicata a ricevere come ospiti per brevi/lunghi periodi, turisti e viaggiatori di tutto il (website hidden) stesso amo ed ho amato molto viaggiare fin dalla mia giovinezza, sia in Italia che in Europa e in Asia. Amo molto leggere e ascoltare musica. Mi piacciono i contatti umani e amo guidare i miei ospiti, se lo desiderano, alla scoperta dei tesori naturalistici, storici, artistici, enogastronomici della bella Umbria. La mia casa vi aspetta. A presto!
Osteria Dell'Oca
Typical umbrian food, elegant atmosphere yet affordable prices. 3 minutes walk from home!
San Egidio Airport
Local airport, offers Ryanair and Meridiana flights from London, Barcelona, Bruxelles. Several car rental companies are based here
UNESCO Heritage Site, home of St.Francis of Assisi, seems like time stopped here 900 years ago. Must visit!
Largest city in the region, with a lot to see and live in the amazing historical center. Named by National Geographic "World's sexiest small city", why don't you find out by yourself? ;)
This medieval town offers a sweeping panorama of the Umbrian countryside, great artwork in its ancient churches, and of course some of the best wines in the region, such as Sagrantino di Montefalco.
Isola Polvese
This tiny island has been the setting of my childhood adventures, and your kids would love it as well. Excellent destination for a daytrip: so small yet it has a castle, gardens, and nice beaches.

The striking exoskeleton structure of the upper section is an interwoven network of supports that vary in thickness and lend a natural aesthetic to the yacht's external appearance; evoking the organic structural systems found in nature.
This exoskeleton connects the various levels and decks seamlessly via expressive diagonals. Where traditional yacht design adheres to a strict horizontal order, Hadid has created an intense connectivity between the various decks and elements of the design. — superyachts.com
Answer: Baku, Azerbaijan, where the government is spending an estimated $6 billion a year on architecture projects. As we wrote in February, Azerbaijan's leaders want to make their capital city a destination for the rich and fabulous. The latest example: the Heydar Aliyev Center designed by Zaha Hadid, for whom it offered the rare opportunity of nearly total design freedom. Every roof and ceiling panel is different, Hadid says. — nytimes.com
Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki has gathered a throng of designers including Toyo Ito, Sou Fujimoto, Kengo Kuma and Riken Yamamoto to oppose the design of Zaha Hadid's 2020 Olympic Stadium in Tokyo.
Maki, who was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1993, has organised a symposium where Japanese architects will protest against the scale of the proposed 80,000-seat stadium, which is set to become the main sporting venue for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic games. — Dezeen
For the sake of argument, let's say that Bashar al-Assad is on the phone. He wants her to build him a prison in Damascus. "Well, I wouldn't mind building in Syria," she shrugs. "I'm an Arab and if it helps people, if it's an opera house or a parliament building, something for the masses, I would do it. But if someone asks me to build a prison, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't build a prison, irrespective of where it is, even if it was very luxurious." — the guardian
She won't build a prison? How many buildings have been designed, and constructed where the intent is one thing, and the ultimate use has been for something quite nefarious? I don't care who she builds for, ultimately she has to live with those decisions, but she can't be this naive, and expect... View full entry »

She has become a global brand so desirable that her buildings in China are now being pirated – before they are even finished. So what territory is left to conquer?
The answer might be found by peering through the windows of an innocuous looking building on Clerkenwell Road in east London, which opened this week as the Zaha Hadid Design Gallery, part of Clerkenwell Design Week. — guardian.co.uk
Referring to younger staff variously as "kids" or "the children", Dame Zaha, cloaked in black and with smudges of fuchsia on both her eyes and lips, says she is approachable.
Those who know her (and prefer not to be named) characterise her as volcanic – she blows up but then it's over. There are no lasting grudges. Her business partner, architect Patrik Schumacher, says the explosions are the byproduct of "uncompromising standards", suggesting such bust-ups are normal in creative offices. — ft.com
She pulls the architect responsible to one side. "I don't care where [the lights go] as long as they're not in my presence," she snaps. Dame Zaha's two assistants stare at the ground. Moments later they fall to the floor to take off her high-heeled Martin Margiela... View full entry »

In a damning indictment of the prevailing culture of her own profession, Dame Zaha Hadid, the world's leading female architect, says she has faced "more misogynist behaviour" in London than anywhere else in Europe and that things are not improving at all for women in architecture. — guardian.co.uk
Zaha Hadid visited Oxford to celebrate the start of construction works at St Antony's College.
