Animals Roaming Paradise
Feral Cats and Chickens of the Conch Republic
In Key West, the southernmost point in the contiguous United States and closer to Cuba than mainland Florida, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
Take cats, for example. Some 60 felines, many polydactyl (possessing more than the usual number of toes on one or more of their paws), live in, around, or near the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. Visitors to the museum are sometimes surprised to find cats in every room of the house. Today the cats are fed by staff members and are vaccinated and cared for by a veterinarian. Many are named for famous personages such as Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Archibald MacLeish, Gertrude Stein, and Pablo Picasso.
Hemingway lived in Key West from 1928 to 1940. While there, he wrote many of his most famous works, including the final version of A Farewell to Arms. Did he turn his house over to his feline friends? Some say no, even though the story that a ship's captain gave him a six-toed cat as a gift is well known—and widely disseminated on the island. However, there is no doubt that today's felines, some of them, the story goes, descended from that original cat, are all around and not just in the Hemingway House. The island is populated—some would say overpopulated—with cats, who roam the island at will, finding food and affection from residents and visitors alike. To prevent too many unwanted kittens, the local Friends of Animals chapter sponsors a "Spay-a-Stray" program in Key West. continue reading…

Academy Research Fellow
Department of Social Research (Sociology)
P.O.Box 18 (Unioninkatu 35)
FIN-00014 University of Helsinki
+358 (0)50 4485822
My office is in Room 205, Unioninkatu 35.
My interest areas are sociology of the body, sociology of health and illness, science and technology studies, gender studies, social theory, power analysis, materialisms
Questions motivating my research include: What does it mean to be an embodied human subject in modern Western society, politically and personally? How do technoscientific practices change social and biological aspects of human life course? What forms of inclusion and exclusion the changes entail?
I have been a Visiting Research Fellow at The London School of Economics and Political Science (2011) and King's College London (2012 and 2014).
My current research project (RESTEM, 2015-2020) explores human enhancement through biomedical technologies, aimed to transform and manage reproduction and aging on the level of biological processes. Since experimental biomedicine is increasingly enrolled in the production of therapeutic and commercial value, this project analyses scientific, regulatory and patient perceptions of the benefits and risks of this development.
My publications are listed here.
I am the PI of the project PLURIPOTENT SCIENCE (2013-2017) funded by Kone Foundation. In this project we study how our conceptions and experiences of birth and ageing, or bodily reproduction and degeneration, are changing through current medical technologies. You can find the description of the project here.
I act as PI in The Doctoral Programme for Gender, Culture, and Society and The Doctoral Programme in Social Sciences.
My previous research has focused on new reproductive technologies, such as prenatal testing and IVF treatment, and on the history of eugenics and abortion.
I have co-edited with Sari Irni and Venla Oikkonen the book Muokattu elämä (Modified life) on technoscience, gender and materiality, published by the Finnish academic press Vastapaino in 2014.
My first book, based on my doctoral dissertation and published by Vastapaino (2009), discusses medical government of human heredity with specific focus on the history of clinical genetics in Finland, the development of prenatal screening technologies, and their implications for the female body and parenthood. The book has been awarded by the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, and the Finnish Researcher Network on Qualitative Health Studies (LATE).

SEC to Serve Former Siemens Execs through Newspaper in FCPA Case
A federal judge said Tuesday the Securities and Exchange Commission can serve a summons to four former executives of Siemens AG in Germany by publishing the summons in the International Herald Tribune.
The SEC asked for permission last week for the unique summons after it said it had been unable to serve the men through traditional legal channels. The four men were accused of violating a U.S. anti-bribery law in December for allegedly agreeing to pay more than $100 million in bribes to secure a lucrative government contract in Argentina.
SEC lawyers said they had been trying unsuccessfully to serve the four men –Ulrich Bock, Uriel Sharef, Stefan Signer, and Herbert Steffen — for four months through the Hague Convention.
"The German government has recently advised that an action by the SEC seeking civil penalties for violations of U.S. federal securities laws is not, under German law, a "civil or commercial matter" within the meaning of the Hague Convention," SEC lawyers wrote in court papers. "As a result, the German authorities have refused to cooperate in serving process."
So, the SEC got creative.
SEC lawyers said that a notice in the newspaper informing the four men they had 20 days to appear in federal court in Manhattan, along with emails to their German lawyers, were methods that are "fair, reasonable, and likely to reach the German defendants." Judge Shira Scheindlin agreed.
If the four men do not respond within 20 days a judgement will be entered against them by default.
Lawyers for the four men didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. An SEC spokeswoman declined to comment.
Bock, Sharef, Signer and Steffen were charged by both SEC and the Department of Justice in December. In total, the Justice Department named eight former Siemens executives and agents in its indictment, while the SEC charged seven individuals (six of whom were named in the criminal indictment) in a separate civil complaint.
The criminal and civil charges came more than three years after Siemens reached a $1.6 billion deal with U.S. and German authorities to settle wider bribery allegations, including improper payments in Argentina.
The U.S. case against Siemens was the largest in the history of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. law prohibiting companies from paying bribes to foreign officials to win business. Siemens is cooperating in the U.S. probe, U.S. officials said previously.
But after the charges were made public, the cases went silent. Justice Department prosecutors haven't filed anything with the court since December. The SEC case docket had been similarly inactive until last week.

Anyone have any suggestions on this one?

We are delighted you are looking at our Hinkley Brook Cabin for your visit to Vermont. We trust you will find our cabin to be truly special. It was built in 2011 by us. Well, with the help of some very special friends (who are real contractors!)
The bulk of the cabin was built with logs from the land, which were milled here in Grafton. We have designed the cabin with the goal of making it a very special get-a-way. We are excited to share it with you.
Mary Ann purchased this cabin in 2011
You will find that you need to bring very little.
The bedrooms are furnished with quality linens and towels are provided. The kitchen is very simple; microwave, convection/toaster oven, electric skillet, crock pot, weber bbq, George Foreman grill, blender, coffee pot. There are terrific restaurants in the area.
You have chosen an area of Vermont that truly is beautiful and special. There is information in the cabin to help you choose your activities as well as provide you with other information to make your stay enjoyable.
First these were the most amazing oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! Top 3 in my life! So glad we were able to meet. There were so many adorable things in the Cabin - felt like home. My favorite was meditating early morning in the lavender garden on the big rock with the sound of the brook. so peaceful. As karma would have it, we visited Artisans Park, Vermont Forager. We were talking about our cabin in Grafton and how the lavender garden was my favorite spot. The woman told me they get their jam lavender in Grafton. So enjoy the fruits of your labor!!! We also visited the Sculpture of Life Garden - a truly spiritual place. Went on a covered bridge hunt, hiked and kayaked. So much more we want to see!
Until next time
This cabin was glorious. Perfectly secluded, but we could easily walk into town. Super cozy, with treats and a kind note left for us. Easy to find, we received directions well in advance and GPS took us right to the cabin. We had originally been nervous about the compost toilet - but it wasn't scary at all and quite easy to use. Would highly recommend to anyone, and we fully plan on returning.
Stayed here for two nights with my girlfriend and this cabin was absolutely perfect. We wanted a peaceful getaway at a cute little cabin in the woods; we got that and more. The interior is even better and cozier than the pictures can show and the property managers were infinitely kind, helpful and welcoming. There was a great selection of DVDs in addition to wifi. Fantastic privacy, scenery and little town a short walk away. I often rely on reviews when booking any sort of trip like this and I would 100% recommend it to anyone considering staying here! :)
If you have ever envisioned a romantic getaway or a retreat to de-stress or regain your thoughts - and at the perfect place on earth - you must stay at this perfect cabin in the woods. This cabin has all the modern amenities along with a terrific layout including the loft bedroom with the spiral staircase and an electric stove (for ambiance), the back porch and the kitchen. The cabin is carved into a hill in the middle of the woods. We arrived to a thoughtful platter of wine, cheese, crackers, apples and cookies. The owners literally left nothing to be desired including the coffee and cream waiting in the refrigerator! Wow, we were so impressed, we reserved it again for a few months later.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was so peaceful and relaxing. It was perfect for a romantic weekend away. Thank you for the extra special touches. We loved the cookies, cheese, wine and dog treats!!
We hated to leave. A perfect cabin in the Vermont woods. Great hospitality and decor. We hope to return.
This cabin in Grafton, VT, is the ideal retreat if you're looking for peace and quiet. Wonderful care has been taken to furnish this place with delightful details. Everywhere you look is a wonderful country touch. For those with physical limitations, the circular staircase can be difficult to navigate. And the compost toilet takes some getting used to. But overall, this place is a perfect combination of the rustic and the modern. Our hosts clearly take great care and pride in maintaining it. When we arrived there were cheese, crackers, wine, and cookies awaiting us. Plus some treats for our dog! That set the tone for a delightful weekend.
Enjoy a hike through the woods out the back door or at Molly Beattie State Park a mile up the road. Wander thru art galleries, shops and museums in town; watch the blacksmith bring to life an old trade; travel just outside the village to visit the farm and see the cows; or Grafton Ponds for mountain biking in the summer and cross country skiing in the winter. Then a peaceful evening on the porch or stargaze by a campfire.
Hinkley Brook Cabin offers a perfect place for anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful get-away.

Reflections from an Artist-in-Residence Program Alumnus
Paul Mpagi Sepuya
As an intern in the Curatorial department at The Studio Museum in Harlem, I have the opportunity to explore how the Museum functions behind the scenes. At work, it is exciting to observe how our curators harness the power that exhibitions and their surrounding discourse possess in order to activate art as a social and political tool. Selecting artists and framing their work in relation to broader thematic concerns is one of a curator's primary responsibilities, and I am especially interested in the long-term relationships between our curators and the artists. The Artist-in-Residence program at the Studio Museum, founded in 1968, provides an excellent example of the close working relationships between curators and creators. One of my projects at the Museum is to manage a database of information concerning AIR alumni.
ETW Blogs
Finding Themes and Experimenting with Materials
As the sixteen high school students continue on their eight-month, photography-based journey at the Museum through the Expanding the Walls program, they take time to look through and thoroughly discuss work by artists such as Lorna Simpson, Malick Sidibe, Gordon Parks and others to help shed light on the multitude of topics and themes photography can cover. The hope is that in studying these artists, the students gain an introduction to themes that they might later choose to focus their projects on. As emerging artists with newfound creative voices, the students struggle with capturing their experiences, perspectives and comments on their respective themes. Many found themselves stuck when trying to analyze and build upon the themes they have chosen, feeling that their approaches had already been employed in a multitude of projects by other artists.
Unbinding Contemporary Book Art
Samuel Levi Jones & More
For his first solo museum exhibition, Samuel Levi Jones: Unbound, Samuel Levi Jones transforms the Studio Museum's Project Space with a site-specific installation made of dismantled law books. When deconstructed into their basic components—covers and spines—the reference books' implicit authority symbolically disintegrates. Stitched together in wall-to-wall grids, the fragmented books hang like paintings, emphasizing form and materiality. Once the books are stripped of their identity, their function and value are obscured, even negated. By manipulating law books, Jones engages with recent criticism of the American justice system.
Arts & Minds Celebrates Five Years at the Studio Museum
with Exhibition at Word Up Community Bookshop
Arts & Minds is celebrating five years at The Studio Museum in Harlem with an exhibition at Word Up Community Bookshop, a non-profit, volunteer-run bookstore and art space in Washington Heights. On Sunday, March 8th, participants, friends and family members gathered for the opening reception.
Every two weeks, people with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias and their caregivers gather at the Studio Museum to discuss the art on view and to respond creatively in the studio. This ongoing experience is the catalyst for the art now on view at Word Up. Co-curated by Executive Director, Carolyn Halpin-Healy and Arts & Minds intern Jessica Kemper, the works in the exhibition range from collage and chalk drawings, to watercolor and acrylic painting.
ETW Blogs
Just the beginning
Not very often will a beginner photographer get an intensive class at a prestigious art school, but that is exactly what happened for the 2015 class of Expanding the Walls. Many of the participating students came to the program without any previous knowledge of photography. Slightly overwhelmed, some of the students worried about how they would capture images with a high tech camera. While a few students had some experience in photography, they still lacked an in-depth understanding of the camera's workings. So to ease the students into using their cameras and the world of photography, Isaac Diggs, photography professor at Schools of Visual Arts, lent a helping hand. Throughout the month of February, ETW class sessions took place at the SVA campus, where Diggs led an intensive class covering the technicalities of the camera as well as the bases of black and white darkroom photography.

Eric Mack's works shuttle between humor and a heady abstract expressionism, and his art offers neither legibility nor instant gratification. The payoff that sustained engagement with his work yields, however, is more than enough reward.
Inspiring Beauty
50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair
It is always interesting to see the unplanned through lines that appear between exhibitions at different institutions. Just as we at the Studio Museum prepare to close Speaking of People: Ebony, Jet and Contemporary Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum has opened another exhibition centered around the role of the Johnson Publishing Company in defining concepts of beauty, style and empowerment for African Americans.
Studio Visit
Lauren Halsey, 2014–15 AIR
In the first of a series of three blog posts, Curatorial Intern Mallory Cohen writes about her studio visits with each of the current artists in residence.
As I stepped into Lauren Halsey's studio on the third floor of the Studio Museum, I was immediately struck by the artist's impressive—and large—ambitions. An eight-by-twelve-foot square of sheetrock takes up the vast majority of Halsey's studio floor, leaving only a small walkway around its perimeter. The sheetrock is split into two-by-two-foot squares, which feature ancient Egyptian iconography mixed with carvings of Harlem and Los Angeles. Images of sarcophagi and the pyramids stand stand-by-side with phone numbers, corporate signage and portraits of LA citizens—symbols of the urban present elevated alongside mythological expressions of the past.

Using the Olympics to Boost Morale
Carmen Wong, 34, was an investment analyst at Suncor Energy. Her job was eliminated in September 2009. Previously, Ms. Wong has worked as an electrical engineer with Nortel Networks. She earned an M.B.A. from the University of Southern Queensland in 2005. She lives in Alberta, Canada.
Usually, I'm not the type that sits in front of the television for hours, but I am watching the 2010 Winter Olympics. There are so many things that we can find inspirational about the Games. As I watch the athletes compete in their chosen disciplines, it is a reminder of the components that go into preparing for peak performance.
Although my objective is not to win a gold medal at an international athletic competition, I do want to come out of my current career transition stronger than ever. I have to admit that my previous career transitions have largely been positive experiences. I had concentrated on building hard competencies to add to my skills portfolio, gained employment in industries that I had been targeting, and met new and interesting people in the process.
This time around, I have decided to step up my own personal peak performance by taking a more integrated approach to my training regiment. My goals are supported with a clearly defined plan of action. I have taken a conscious effort to find balance between my inner resources: the physical body, the mind, and the spirit. I have put a greater emphasis on learning mental techniques to improve my focus, emotional strength, and endurance. I've accepted support from those I trust, while letting go of any noise or negative energy that have surfaced along the way. I also rely on my intuition for guidance.
Already, I have noticed a difference in the way I manage the external circumstances that arise outside of the realm of my control. There is an increased sense of inner calmness, even as I am pressured to perform the task at hand. I have visualized what success looks like in my own mind. As with an elite athlete, I may not be at the top of the podium at the end of every race, but I will be persistent in pushing forward toward achieving my personal best each time the start gate opens.
Readers, what have you found to be inspiring about the Olympics? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

This plugin has been working great for some time (several months), but over the last several days the automated backup is behaving strangely.
It is configured to backup the DB every day and keep three backup files. Normally, that would be one backup for each of the last three days, but now it creates three back up files for the current day. Changing the time of the scheduled backup job isn't correcting the behavior, so it doesn't appear to be a issue with contacting the DB on the server side, etc.
Any thoughts?

This undated photo provided by Sotheby's shows Andy Warhol's portrait of Elizabeth Taylor, titled "Liz #1 (Early Colored Liz)," estimated to fetch between $20 million and $30 million on Wednesday evening, Nov. 13, 2013, when it comes up for auction at Sotheby's in New York. (AP Photo/Sotheby's) by Jake Pearson and Ula IlnytzkyAssociated Press Writers NEW YORK (AP) — A prized 1963 Andy Warhol painting that captures the immediate aftermath of a car crash sold for $105 million Wednesday at a New York City auction, shattering the record for the famed pop artist amid a spending frenzy at the high end of the art world. The 8- by 13-foot painting titled "Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)" depicts a twisted body sprawled across a car's mangled interior. It has only been seen once in public in the past 26 years. The buyer wasn't immediately identified.
TAKING A STAND—Bartender Latika Pamplin and Pittsburgh police officer Brenda Tate pose with signs on the Black Beauty Lounge's windows, warning shoplifters never to come inside. (Photos by J.L. Martello) Within hours of the Hicks family opening their SHOP 'n SAVE in the Hill District in the 1980s, boosters were selling cartloads of merchandise two blocks away. Add to that the employees "giving away" huge quantities of inventory and the store failed in short order; killing any chance of revitalizing the Hill for 30 years. The term "booster," said Pittsburgh Police Spokesperson Diane Richard, is a professional shoplifter, as opposed to, say, a teenager taking a pack of gum.
AT LAST—Linda Imani Barett celebrates finally being able to buy groceries in her neighborhood. (Photo by J.L. Martello) by Christian MorrowCourier Staff WriterApparently, waiting 30 years and one day for a new grocery store is too long for some Hill District residents. The day before its scheduled opening, Heldman Plaza SHOP 'n SAVE operator Jeff Ross went to check on the store and found "shoppers" roaming the aisles.

More than 30 years ago, before he moved to New Jersey and began a career in the antique business, he worked with youth and men dealing with addiction. Populations of people that after time like antiques develop to have significant value. Forty years later offering a wealth of knowledge and charisma, Stevenson, known as one of the best antique dealers in the country, is operating an antique company in his home town; the Pittsburgh Antique Company.

(AP Photo/Ticketmaster) by Ryan NakashimaAP Business Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fans of popular artists or sports teams are painfully aware how difficult it is to find good seats to live events at affordable prices. With a new ticket resale system, Ticketmaster is trying to show you what seats are available in one place — both unsold ones and those up for resale — so you can price-shop more easily.

They told me that if and only if I recieved the 12,500 dollars they would deduct 300 dollars for the relief fund and that was only if I recieved the money and that was guaranteed. I only recieved a piece of paper that stated that I was going to recieve health benefit plan which wasn't what I wanted and I would then recieve a grant guide and a 100 payday loan offer not a cash voucher. They would then charge me 299.95 for the package. Not an opptional relief fund donation.
As soon as I recieved this letter I went straight to my bank who in fact very kindly stopped payment on the 29.95 and refunded my money. they also put an alert on 299.95 and first national benefits on my account so that they can not remove any more money. My bank waived the stop payment fee but not without a lecture about fraudulent companies. I deserved that.
If it weren't for having a great bank I would have been up blank creek without a paddle. I only hope that these frauds are caught because they are preying on people and using a world disaster to make money illegely. I now know when someone calls offering anything and wanting any info just say no and if it sounds interesting then have them send you more info through the mail if they are frauds they won't want to do this that should have given me the first clue.
Calling 18004101682 is a worthless venture no one answers the line or you get a recording that doesnt allow you to leave any messages. PLEASE CATCH THEM

By Sgt. Daniel Colvin and Maj. Corey SchultzJanuary 8, 2012
BELTON, Mo. -- Alpha and Bravo Company of the 418th Civil Affairs (CA) Battalion's mission is to deploy overseas in response to a large-scale natural disaster, coordinating military capabilities with civilian governments and private companies' manpower and resources. So how do they train for that mission in suburban Kansas City?
The answer: by practicing response to a disaster that actually could occur in southeastern Missouri. In the hypothetical training exercise conducted January 7-8 2012, a devastating earthquake ripped through the New Madrid fault, causing 75,000 residents to lose their homes.
An estimated 22,000 of these people are children in the educational range of K-12. These 75,000 Displaced Civilians (DCs) must be temporarily resettled in Pleasant Hill, Mo., just east of Kansas City and almost 400 miles northwest of the earthquake epicenter at New Madrid. The Army Reserve Civil Affairs Soldiers set up a task force to assist the local and state governments to plan and coordinate temporary shelter, food and sanitary conditions for these unfortunate citizens.
"Planning the resettlement of DCs is what we would be doing overseas," said the battalion's acting first sergeant, Staff Sgt. Doug Rueff, who played the Task Force Operations Officer. "As Civil Affairs, our job is to coordinate between the military and a variety of civilians."
There's no better way to plan for working with civilian authorities overseas than to practice with the civilian authorities here. The Soldiers set up a Civil Military Operations Center (CMOC), which would manage five Civil Affairs Teams (CATs). Each team assessed a different aspect of Pleasant Hill's infrastructure: hospitals, schools, landfills, sewage facilities, and potential locations to house the civilians displaced by the earthquake. The CMOC is the nerve center for the teams and also a connective tissue between the battalion and any civilian organizations or government operating in the area.
Education team members Spec. Amy Pittman and Pvt. Bret Beardstat met with Dr. John L. Griffith, assistant superintendent of the Pleasant Hill R-III School District. Meeting with Griffith allowed Pittman and Beardstat to utilize his knowledge and experience not only in education, but also the operational aspects of administration. Dr. Griffith discussed his school district's ability to provide for some of the new students and made suggestions for using the surrounding school districts and other local resources for additional classroom space.
Other teams in the area conducted meetings with local authorities to determine support for the large influx of people. For instance, the team led by Sgt. Kirby Karnes visited the Pleasant Hill sewage treatment plant to determine how 75,000 temporary residents would affect the local sewage system --and what the Army could do to alleviate the strain on the infrastructure.
After coordinating with the Pleasant Hill authorities, the five teams of Soldiers met with other military units such as the 603rd MP Company, the 325th Combat Support Hospital (CSH) and the 308th Military Information Support Operations (MISO) Company. While Civil Affairs Soldiers have robust assessment capability, it is these other units that bring security, medical and information broadcasting capabilities to the disaster scenario.
Using the information collected by the CA teams, civilian and military authorities can coordinate locally available resources, ensuring that the needs of the dislocated civilians, as well as those of the local residents, can be met effectively.
The five teams of Soldiers were all junior personnel, E5 and below. Not only did they carry out the missions, they practiced mission planning, and as the final event in the exercise briefed Col. Calvin DeWitt, himself a Civil Affairs Soldier and the reserve emergency preparedness liaison officer for Region 7. His match of CA background and knowledge of civilian emergency management made him the ideal person to review the plan for displaced civilians.
DeWitt stressed that this type of training is extremely realistic and a sound preparation for what the Soldiers will face in theater.
"The Army Reserve has the non-lethal capabilities such as civil affairs, engineering, and military police that are vital to responding to disasters both here and overseas," DeWitt said.
Civil Affairs soldiers conduct a wide range of missions, including foreign humanitarian assistance. Charlie and Delta Company of the 418th Civil Affairs Battalion recently returned from a year-long mission in the Horn of Africa, coordinating medical and veterinary missions, the arranging the distribution of basic needs items, and distributing bed nets to help prevent malaria. Soldiers also coordinated to build medical clinics, libraries and schools, and enabled the people to provide basic services, medical, and educational needs for themselves.
