|Urban mapping for risk management
|Spigai, Marc - Alcatel Alenia Space, OS/PS/I
|Team Members
|The objective of the project is to evaluate the potential of high resolution X-band TERRASAR data
for mapping and change detection in urban areas.
In order to be able to monitor urban areas, high resolution data are required. By using one or more high resolution images on selected urban areas, a general classification will be processed, which allows to obtain a first analysis of the scene : buildings, main roads, etc. Then a finer extraction of the road network will be realized and change detection will be processed, with a particular goal concerning risk management (flooded area, traficability, etc.).
Classification of the scene and fine extraction of road network will be based on methods studied at Alcatel Alenia Space which use a supervised Bayesian classifier with Fisher distribution on amplitude (estimation with log-cumulants). Fisher distribution domain allows to enlarge the Gamma and Inverse Gamma domains to a more general domain including high resolution radar phenomena. Fine extraction of road network will be based on tree-search algorithm constrained and initialized by the classification of the scene.
Change detection will be based on both methods studied at CNES and Alcatel Alenia Space which use classical methods based on specific radar correlation tools but also with more recent methods based on primitive/features estimation coupled with similarity measurement (based on a set of distance such as Kullback distance).
The project duration is two years (after the commissioning phase). The amount of Alcatel Alenia Space funding for the project will be 10 man-months for the duration of the project
Data required for the project are 24 images which will cover three different French cities:Toulouse, Cannes and Aix-en-provence for which Alcatel Alenia Space has ground truth (digital maps, very high resolution optical images and 3D databases). The 24 images are composed of : 16 High resolution Spotlight SSC images single polarization at two different incidences, 4 High resolution Spotlight SSC images quad polarization at the same incidence and 4 Stripmap SSC images at single polarization at two different incidences.
Deliverables of the project are the following :
If any problem appear during the process of reading and first short analysis, a short report will be send one month after reception of the last image of the first group of data.
End of first year of the project : First report on the preliminary results obtained during the first year of the project.
End of second year of the project : Final report of the project. Publication and participation to scientific meeting(s). In particular, Alcatel Alenia Space participates since the beginning (year 2000) to the CNES-DLR annual workshop "Information Extraction and Scene Understanding for Meter Resolution Images". This meeting could give the opportunity to Alcatel Alenia Space to present the state of the project.

TAS SOFTWARE TOOL The method that was used in Thales previous work ([Amb1]) was described in [REF 1]. As a remind figures 1 to 7 are given in the last part of the report which illustrates the different phase of processing : Classification of the scene and fine extraction of road network. RESULTS 1 : Road network extraction from a single image We have split the problem in two areas of the Toulouse city, illustrated on Figure 8 and Figure 9 : ->Area 1 which is a peri-urban area with �big� roads which represent, a priori, the kind of area where we would like to detect road network with TERRASAR-X. Moreover, there are in this area : motorway, entrance ramp, street in a dense urban area, and bridle path of a racecourse. ->Area 2 which is more a dense urban area for which it is, a priori, very difficult for one single SAR image to extract the road network. There are in this area : a motorway perpendicular to the azimuth, Streets lined with houses. Area 1 : Peri-urban The use of the processing chain is illustrated hereafter. The classification (Figure 10) shows the mix of road in �specular� objects present in the scene. Figure 11 shows the segments of initialization obtained after Geometrical filtering and Hough transform Figure 12 and Figure 13 show the road network finally extracted. Road network is represented in blue line. Red bullets represent pixels selected in the first time to extend a road segment but in the second time they are not retained by the cost function It is interesting to see that the main big roads are quite well extracted with TERRARSAR-X images, smaller roads are though detected even if the detection rate is of medium quality. The quantitative results give mainly the typical following value of 45% of correctness and 30% of completeness. So these values are not sufficient by themselves but can give important information useful for a human operator of for a multi-sensors fusion system. Area 2 : Urban dense Figure 12 shows the road network extracted in the urban area 2. Road network is represented in blue line. The extraction of road in a dense urban area is quite difficult to obtain with 1-meter resolution TERRARSAR-X images. The motorway is detected by the road extraction algorithm, but only part of the main streets are retrieved. It is due to the signal response of an urban area, which is very complex. The specular effect of road is often merged with shadow or masked by a layover effect. In summary the detection rate is quite low and it is obvious that the extracted information is relatively poor in this kind of area. A priori information, such as an existing database, should be necessary to help the extraction of the road network, this needs another study and is out of the scope of the project. RESULTS 2 : Road network extraction from multi-temporal images We leave here the rapid mapping to enter the domain of cartography update with 3 images taken in a one-year period. We do not intend here to deal with the problem of change detection but to give a feeling of what kind of improvement can bring a multi-temporal approach. To reduce the speckle noise, a multi-temporal filter is applied (a simple mean of the images), the three input images having the same orbit direction (ascending). This configuration aims at highlighting specular effect observed on road areas, the probability to detect a road would be better. Element on a multi-temporal approach with an ascending and a descending orbit are shown is a second step. ->Use of 3 multi-temporal ascending images The results are presented in Figure 15. Detection is better than the ones obtained with the single image configuration (completeness grows from 30% with a single image until 40% with 3 images). The improvement is mainly observed for instance on the left of the area, in the upper part the roundabout and the across roads are clearly detected and on the lower part the main road around an industrial zone is well detected. -> Use of 2 multi-temporal ascending and descending images To illustrate another configuration of multi-temporal images, the algorithm has been performed with an image in descending orbit and another image in ascending orbit. The objective is to highlight the impact of acquisition configuration on the road network extraction. The two phenomena, layover and shadow, are particularly depicted hereafter. On Figure 16, trees along the motorway generate a layover effect on the left side in the ascending orbit image (a) and on the right side in the descending orbit image (b). (c) represents the superposition of the two image, red elements are due to high level radiometry in the descending orbit image and cyan elements high level radiometry in ascending orbit image. The layover produced by the trees along the motorway (in top of the Figure 17) disturbs the road network extraction algorithm and the localization of the extracted road differs according to the direction of the orbit during the acquisition (Figure 17). The second geometric effect which can also disturb the extraction of roads is shadows of high buildings. Though most of shadows are removed with the geometric filtering (� 22.214.171.124.), some of them are assimilated as a road. It is the case in the Figure 19 where shadow effects in the pink circle are detected as a road. In the Figure 19. It is worst noting that shadow localization is dependant of the orbit direction. We know apply a multi-temporal filter from the ascending orbit image and the descending orbit image in order to remove shadow effects. For this configuration, the ascending orbit image and the descending orbit have been used as inputs of the multi-temporal filter. The multi-temporal filter using two images acquired with opposed orbit allows removing the shadows of building. But the layover effects (Figure 16) add noise on the both side of the motorway in the top of the Figure 20. As illustrated in the Figure 21. Detection are globally not better, even worse, than the one obtained with the single image configuration EXTENSION TO OPTIC/SAR FUSION As additional work, we give here some elements of a multi-sensors optic/SAR approach, typically for rapid mapping. The work done by TAS is strongly linked to the scientific approach done in the V. Poulain co-funded Phd CNES/TAS �High resolution image analysis with exogenous data� with IRIT French Laboratory as scientific partner. The general principle is explained hereafter, see [Pou1]&[Pou2] for details. The Phd technical work deals with the problem of cartographic databases creation/update in urban environment with high resolution optical images (in the range 70cm up to 2,5m) and radar satellite images (1m). In our study, we focus on the creation of the road network database, that means to build the road network without any prior information coming from an existing database. Moreover, due to its interest highlighted during the PhD work, we focus on the following scenario : extraction of the road network with an optical multispectral image at 2,5 meters resolution (Pleiades simulated image, copyright CNES) and a 1 meter TERRASAR-X image (among those available for our study). The principle is to construct road �candidates� in both optical and SAR image. Then a set of features is computed for each road candidate and a fusion of the feature is then done allowing to confirm or infirm the road candidates. For the optical image the road candidates are build by using the method described in [Chri1], which is also available in the CNES ORFEO Toolbox free software http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org. In the SAR image, the method used is the one described in the previous chapter of the study. For each candidate, a set of feature is then processed, such as : ratio of intensity, vegetation indexes, and so on (see [Pou1]). The feature fusion gathers all the available knowledge to obtain a score for each object. Based on this score, a decision can be taken to include or not a road section in the database. The Dempster-Shafer evidence theory has interesting properties for data fusion (see [Pou2]). It can be considered as a generalization of Bayesian theory allowing one to handle imprecise information. However, it requires less prior information than Bayesian theory, facilitating the integration of new features in the chain. Figure 22 Illustrated the extraction of roads in the optical image (a), in the SAR image projected in the optical image for comparison (b) and finally the result of the fusion. The quantitative values are : Optical image : Correctness = 60%, Completeness = 37% SAR image : Correctness = 45%, Completeness = 30% (as previously obtained) Optical + SAR : Correctness = 60%, Completeness = 53% So the use of multi-sensors Optical+SAR image slightly enhances the completeness of the detection. CONCLUSION For rapid mapping with a single SSC image, the results (Correctness = 45%, Completeness = 30%) show that TERRASAR-X image cannot solve the problem of road extraction by itself but it can bring relevant information in peri-urban situations where �big� roads are present in the scene. Enhancement with a multi-temporal approach where images in the same orbit (ascending or descending) are recommended to be used. For dense urban area, a priori information, such as an existing database, should be necessary to help the extraction of the road network, this needs another study and is out of the scope of the project. Additional work on multi-sensor approach optical (2,5m)/SAR (1m) can bring enhancement (correctness = 60%, Completeness = 53%).

Child Molesters In Our Communities: Who Are They and What Can We Do?
What Do You Mean, We Have Child Molesters Among Us? A community I've belonged to for a couple of decades was rocked this week by discovering that a very active member has recently been arrested for distributing child pornography, and that at least one family member has accused this person of molestation when they were both children. This is not the first time this community ha had a similar scandal, nor will it be the last. Child molesters reside in nearly all communities, in the best neighborhoods and the worst, online and offline. "Not in my community" just buries your head in the sand. "Not my friend, my spouse, my boss, my minister, my teacher" does the same. This post is in part an answer to questions from the community. Since this affects me personally, I'm posting it in my personal blog, and I'm crossposting it professionally for people that have questions about how they as individuals and members of communities should deal with child molestation. Its never pleasant to find out that someone you cared for and liked or loved is capable of molesting and exploiting a child for sexual gratification. The first question most people ask is "why".
Rehabilitating My Neglected Home Garden Pt 1: The Problems and Plans
As you can see from the photos, my poor neglected home garden needs a lot of work. As a partial explanation, I have had multiple issues with back and neck over the last couple of years, and my husband has had multiple surgeries on his shoulders and knees. We've had no money to hire help, and our stamina has been needed to keep bringing money in to feed the family. Now that both of us are feeling better, it's time to fix this mess. I have always loved the idea of having my garden entirely edible, or at least entirely usable. Last year, for reasons that included money, a new business, and other things, I badly neglected my garden. This year, my goal is to rehabilitate all five of my raised beds, the big (ish) south facing garden space, the small bed at the east of the house near the "outdoor kitchen" space – essentially all of the flower and vegetable beds – into flower/herb/vegetable multi-use spaces. This will involve a fairly expensive investment in seeds. I buy staple seeds at my local dollar store.. they're so cheap that the difference in germination rate is offset by price, then buy
On the Needles: Knitting a Double Warm Entrelac Bedspread
After all my gift knitting this year (sorry I didn't blog it), I had a ton of extra yarn to use up, so I thought I'd make a blanket. You know, a cozy little lap blanket. And I decided I'd use the entrelac technique, a technique I had only used before on the pockets for a scarf I made for my son's girlfriend. Then I decided that I really need a new bedspread. Because, reasons. So I had a couple of cancellations at work, and spent a couple of hours adapting a basic entrelac pattern to get what I want, which is large squares made out of two joined colors, with color shifts of one color (through six shifts) every row of blocks, and the other color (through four colors) every four rows of blocks.

Thank You, Mr. Nimoy: Spock Taught Me It's Okay to be a Girl
Goodbye, Leonard Nimoy. This "half alien" geek girl will miss you. I first watched Star Trek (the Original Series) on a small black and white television when I was about eight or nine. We had to hold the rabbit ear antennas just right to get the signal, and it was a revelation to me years later that they all had brightly colored uniforms. A lot of girls identified with Uhura. She was beautiful, intelligent, commanding, and oh, so cool. And she could speak "side eye" code sooooo well. But I didn't identify with her. I wasn't cool. I wasn't beautiful. I didn't do subtle. I was the stick thin girl with thick glasses and buck teeth, straw colored hair and pale skin covered in freckles, usually dressed in homemade dresses and smocks or hand-me-downs, the one who climbed trees to read books in peace and laughed like a horse.

Black Lives Matter: The Role of Allies
After the Ferguson grand jury decision came the Eric Garner grand jury decision. While disappointing, it was not surprising that the police officer that put him in a choke hold on camera that ended Eric's life will not face charges. While it is widely said that a proscuter can "indite a ham sandwich, apparently it is impossible (or nearly so) to indict a police officer. Which means that not all pork products can be indicted. Statistics all over the United States back this up. While over 99% of people arrested for crimes are indicted, at least at the Federal level, this is not borne out when the accused is a police officer. Statistics show that police officers are largely immune to prosecution for excessive force, even when it leads to the death of an innocent person. This is not a matter of one bad cop, or one bad police station. This is a systemic issue that has repercussions throughout the United States. These repercussions fall mostly, but not entirely, on the bodies of black and brown people. Thus the hashtag #blacklivesmatter. Print PDF

Analysis: Kingfisher's nosedive poses dilemma for India
By Anurag Kotoky and Sanjeev Choudhary
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - As Kingfisher Airlines (KING.NS: Quote) careens toward collapse, the Indian government finds itself between a rock and a hard place.
The government, already weakened by a string of corruption scandals over the past year, will face further political heat if it tries to rescue a money-losing private carrier - especially one owned by a flamboyant liquor baron.
If it lets Vijay Mallya's airline fail, however, the government will hurt state-run banks, which own about a fifth of Kingfisher's shares and three-quarters of its $1.3 billion debt.
Kingfisher is struggling with fewer flights and pilots, staff demoralised by unpaid salaries, and outstanding dues to aircraft lessors, oil companies, airports and tax authorities.
It needs at least $400 million quickly to keep flying, figures Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA), a consultancy. Mallya's plans to raise funds through a share sale have been stalled and he has been lobbying the government to get state-run banks to lend more.
The fast clip at which the government has moved to change regulations in the past two months - airlines can now directly import fuel, lowering their costs, and private carriers can fly overseas more - has lifted expectations that Mallya may eventually win the help he needs from the government.
"India: Kingfisher's national carrier," one Tweeter quipped last week.
A government bailout for a private carrier would not go down well with the public in India, where airlines are still not the common man's preferred mode of travel. Conscious of that, the government insists it is not looking to bail Kingfisher out. Continued...

Viggen High School is a minor school in Girls und Panzer that appears only in supplemental material, and did not participate in the 63ʳᵈ National High School Sensha-dō Tournament.
This is a Swedish-themed school established by a Swedish Botanist. The school started with only botany-based courses, expanding to engineering and steel industries later on. They eventually broadened out as far as agricultural courses and carpentry, although recently home economics seems to be the big biggest hit.
The students are enthusiastic about Sensha-dõ, but they couldn't attend the national tournament due to lack of tanks and crew numbers.
Vehicles operated
- The school shares its name with the Swedish combat aircraft Saab 37 Viggen.
- Viggen from Swedish means thunderbolt, which you can see in the school emblem.

Daily Express: A Disc Jockey (DJ) connected to a popular Guyanese entertainment/promotion company is currently a fugitive of the North American justice system, after he escaped a sting operation by Drug Enforcement authorities several days ago.
The incident stemmed from the interception of around 20 kilograms of cocaine destined for a North American location by the authorities, who allowed it to enter from a Caribbean location with the hope of nabbing those behind the shipment.
The promoter, who is also linked to a local radio and Television operation is said to have traveled to the North American location to receive the shipment. Himself and another individual who was under the radar of drug enforcement officials for several years and had been cooperating with the authorities after being caught, was traveling in a vehicle with the shipment of cocaine when lawmen decided to make the arrest.
Reports indicate that the promoter was able to elude the lawmen, but apparently left his traveling and other documents behind.
He was recently arraigned in absentia while the other individual was placed on bond.
At least two other persons connected to the promotion company have had similar run-ins in the past, with one individual serving a ten year prison sentence in the U.S.
The sources also revealed that an effort is being made to smuggle the DJ back to Guyana illegally via a boat.

Putting For Pupils Golf Classic
On August 15th from 7:30AM until 9:30AM, the Rotary Club of Carolina Forest Sunrise helped 64 Waccamaw Elementary students pick out new shoes so they can start the new school year on the right foot. The Happy Feet project is one of three elementary school support programs funded and administered by the club. The other two, Warm Bodies and P Cubed: Pads, Papebors, Pencils for Pupils, also help assist children identified by classroom teachers and administrators. Each year, the club spends over $5,000 on the three projects, which support both Waccamaw Elementary and Carolina Forest Elementary.
The Rotary Club of Carolina Forest Sunrise is a Flex Club. Having the Flex Club status allows our club to actively participate in community events on a biweekly basis. The 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month are breakfast meetings to share ideas and fellowship. The other weeks are held at civic events to assist and spread Rotarian efforts throughout the community.

Make Upgraded™ Chocolate with the two most essential ingredients: 100% raw upgraded cocoa powder and cacao butter. Organic, wild-crafted heirloom and low-toxin processing means you get the best ingredients for maintaing a state of high performance.
Save with this combo pack!
This combo pack includes:
1X Bulletproof Chocolate Powder
Raw and made from rare, wild, hand-harvested South American cacao beans. Processed with our high altitude curing process that minimises chocolate toxins so you will feel the difference. Maximum chocolate aroma and flavour. Make Bulletproof Ice Cream, a mocha or combine with cacao butter to make chocolate! Enjoy the energy that only single-variety heirloom cacao can provide
1X Bulletproof Cacao Butter
Cacao Butter is a viable alternative to daily butter for making Bulletproof Coffee. Bulletproof Cacao Butter is harvested in the same way from the same trees as Bulletproof Chocolate Powder. It's never heated, so it's a completely raw food (and yes, it's even vegan). Not only does Bulletproof Cacao Butter taste amazing, it has the kind of fats that make you healthier. 61% of the fats in Bulletproof Cacao Butter are the safe, saturated kind that do not oxidise easily. Only 4% of the fats are the easily damaged polyunsaturated kind, but these are protected by the antioxidants in chocolate. The remaining 35% of fat is monounsaturated fat, the kind found mostly in olives and avocados.

Welcome to the BunkFest Beer Festival this year sponsored by Loddon Brewery and Loose Cannon. Situated on the Kinecroft, head down to the beer tent for a great selection of up to 30 real ales, with an emphasis on local independent brewers.
Whether you are a seasoned real ale drinker, or have never tried "proper" beer before, you should be able to find a beer style that suits you. We have a range of styles from Stouts to Golden ales.
Supporting the Beer Festival helps enormously with the funding of Bunkfest.
Beers are arranged alphabetically behind the bar. For quicker service, choose beers that are alphabetically close to where you are queuing!
If you're new to real ale then consult our Tasting Notes, available at the bar. Our bar staff are all volunteers, so please be kind to them and be patient at busy times. If you are visiting us on Sunday, then please be prepared for the choice of beer to diminish as the day progresses.
We have a variety of local independent breweries close to Wallingford producing some excellent beers. As well as Loddon ales, these include; West Berkshire, Vale, Appleford, Shotover, XT, Loose Cannon and Bingham's. We also have some beers from further a field.
We have chilled Cotswold Lager on sale (3.8% & 5%), brewed in Bourton on the Water using only the very best ingredients. They are cold and fizzy but have bags more flavour than the average mass produced lager. Alternatively, we have a number of cask golden ales.
We have a great range of real ciders available, from a number of producers. These include Tutt's Clump from Berkshire, Hitchcox from Chalgrove and Red Dog Cider in Benson. These are complimented by the ever popular Weston's ciders from Herefordshire and fruity ciders from Millwhites in Hertfordshire.
A range of wine and soft drinks are also available.
Since 2012 we have only sold drinks in re-usable souvenir glasses. This has considerably reduced our waste generation and also means you spill less of your pints as the souvenir glasses are far more robust.
You will be able to buy them from The Festival Bar when getting your first drink, from the Festival Shop and online two weeks before the event.

Printed Matter Benefit
Printed Matter, the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of publications made by artists and one of my favorite shopping destinations, is having a spring benefit party at Hiro Ballroom on May 15. The hilarious and genius John Waters is hosting. Performers include Terence Koh, Peaches, Flaming Fire, and the DJs MEN: JD Samson and Joanna Fateman of Le Tigre. Terence Koh's ritual spectacle will result in a limited edition fundraising multiple. MEN play music all night. There's a less expensive after party you can go to if you're not too in the money this month. We love Printed Matter. It's a great cause and you should go and give them money.

Girl of My Dreams
200 pages, full color
Lula magazine is a newish British fashion magazine started by Becky Smith and Leith Clark, ex-Vogue people. I like it! Everything in it has such a great girly energy. They mix art and fashion stories well and I'm so psyched that they have so many illustrations. It's full of dreamy photo shoots which feature designers both major and small and thankfully has none of that annoying front of book round-up type of pandering to advertisers stuff that so many other girl-y mags fill up with. I like the way they package a story. For example, in issue #4, there's a big feature on tap dancing which includes a pull out poster with actress Zooey Deschanel demonstrating a tap dance she made up, a fashion illustration story accompanied by text from actress Michelle Williams about her love of tap dancing as a child, photos of girls tapping, and an essay about how all girls love tap dancing. I couldn't have given a crap about tap dancing as a kid and was only interested in skateboarding and book reading but the genuine sweetness and enthusiasm of this piece is contagious. At the end I'm like tap dancing is rad! The whole magazine is like that. It's beautiful. It's cute—and in a fun, exuberant kind of way, not in a cloying fakey sort of way. Flowers, fruit prints, lacy things, lots of sun, an office dog on the masthead, jewelry, sparkly things, and almost no boys anywhere. It gives me an excuse to get in touch with my inner girly-girl (I swear I have one!). Also in issue #4 is a story on Erin Fetherton's fairy princess-like collection shot by Ellen Von Unwerth. I like her. I also like the Sonia Rykiel headbands I saw in another story. So cool! I want them all. My only real complaint is the magazine is too white. Almost every story uses skinny white models and actresses.

Magazine Rack of The Week
The Brave Space Design Hollow End Table is pushing it price wise at $375, but sometimes you have to pay for good, eco-friendly design. It's made of a combination of light and dark bamboo, and at 20 inches high would also be great used as a stool. Magazines can go on either side, leaning vertically, as well as being stuffed flat directly beneath the table surface.
Available at Design Public
Post Road
Post Road lacks the dry, stuffy quality associated with most old-school literary journals. It's not only well edited and written - but actually entertaining. What's refreshing is the eclecticism and lack of ostentatiousness in their choices - you get the sensation of a smart and super-cool coffee clutch firing off ideas to each other. Post Road publishes criticism, fiction, non-fiction, poetry (we'll forgive them that) as well as some visual art (though not their strong point). They also have great book recommendations (written more as a pal telling you than as formal review) and a section entitled "Etcetera," which houses anything from a description of a walking tour to twenty questions for David Mamet.
Issue #13 is out now. Available at St. Marks Books or online here.
Post Road is currently conducting a fiction and poetry contest, with a $1000 prize for winners. Apply here.
The pic above is my cover for issue #11, read the essay I wrote for it here. Yes, I'm totally biased. Deal.
Magazines We Love Roundup
The Spring issue of the lovely Acne Paper is out and the theme is playfulness. Just look at the jaunty angles of those hats! Contributors include Ali Mahdavi, Roger Deckker, Benjamin Alexander Huseby, Vanity Fair's Christopher Mason. The fabulous Iris Apfel is in there as well as the AD of all of Pedro Almodovar's films. Great issue.
This month's Dazed and Confused has Kate Moss on the cover in clothes from her Top Shop line. I like the cover. I'm a sucker for a gatefold and the shot is all relaxed and nice. What else... a tribute to Derek Jarman from the likes of Tilda Swinton, Seamus McGarvey, and Neil Tennant, a piece on 19th century gangs, and 1920s fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli.
Hm, I haven't looked at Adbusters in a while... The theme of this issue is "The Beginning of Sorrow." It has a scary article on the rise of the internet police state, an interview with French political activists The Dismantlers, and an article about how fucked Britain's youth are.
Umbrella Archives
Umbrella is a quarterly art journal that covers artists' books, mail art, and other multiple editions including audio and video works. They published a print version from 1978 to 2005 and then moved online. Indiana University-Perdue University Indianapolis' Library now has a searchable archive of all their back issues. Go poke around and see reviews of all sorts of old books and magazines, interviews with artists, thoughts on anything from computer cataloging of images to performance art collaborations, and notes from parties and events. You can also subscribe to Umbrella online at their site.
For Other Reasons to Leave the Apt
Our fabulous friend Betty just started a blog called First Person List: An Insider Art Guide to Happenings, Performances, and Openings. Hm, I Can't Seem to Stop Initial Capping Every Word! whew. anyway. Check Betty's blog for something extra cool to do. She's usually in NYC but sometimes wanders off to other places like London or SF. I know this doesn't really have anything to do with print or magazines but I'm sure invites to the best magaziney parties will show up on her blog...
Get Out
The only good lesbo mag around, Girls Like Us, is having a party tonight for their new issue. If you're in NY, come meet us there. Here's the flyer:
Magazine Rack of The Week
The Mobos Rectangle Display Container is playful, colorful and slightly out of the ordinary - making it an excellently bold magazine rack. It attaches to your wall using the Mobos display bar, which can be cut to size - the longer the better, because for the full effect you'd want to mix and match colors and a few circle and square containers, which can be used as planters (the rectangles can be as well).
The Mobos Rectangles are $40 each, circles $36, squares $30, available at Rose and Radish.

Epigenetics is the study of how genes are activated and deactivated by life experiences. Traditionally, the impact of parental trauma on children has been viewed as primarily relational - whereas this field highlights the physical trans-generational implications.
This is a good starter article that explains current research and gives a brief introduction on the biological effects traumatic life experiences can have on later generations.

I guess this should come as no surprise that Cleveland has been so whiny about LeBron. Fortunately, the general counsel for the Browns had no patience for such complaints:
The only way that could have been better is if it had been written in comic sans.

This month it's the "Dash Dur-Ty Martini" and anyone who is confident that issuing a "kill -9" on their running database won't result in data loss gets a Dash Dur-Ty Martini on Basho.

text: Wedding-guest dressing can be a high-risk endeavour. Buy anything from Coast or French Connection in the weeks beforehand and it's very likely someone else will too. You'll be subtly avoiding them all day while pretending not to be bothered. (NB. It's much worse when the other person is the bride.) Usually, the answer is to pick something you have owned for a while, as this guest did, with her M Missoni coat from 2010, before she spotted the Duchess of Cambridge wearing the same thing. You would think Kate's coat doppelganger would be safe, wearing fusty blue tweed in the company of thirtysomethings, but clearly this kind of thing is regulation issue for the Kensington set. Which raises a sobering question: what else do they all have hanging in their wardrobes?

Mixed Tape Mondays
Every now and then I get a niggling urge to clean out my cupboards. I empty out the lot, refold all my cloths, organise them according to colour and type and repack everything. On one particular instance, I also cleared out the storage shelves. There I found something amazing: my cassette tape holder from high school. Filled with labelled tapes.
Christina Aguilera, Eminem, Third Eye Blind… and Evanescence… blegh. All taped off 5FM. I forgot how cool it is that I now work for the station I spent my life listening to. The best part is that I have a cassette player in my car. (I'm so cool and retro, it's dangerous, man.) I had also reached the point where I needed to zone out in the traffic instead of catching up on all the stressful news. So in went a tape marked 2003: Beginning. Eminem's "Superman", a song I'd totally forgotten about, started playing. At the end of each song I could hear snippets of Sash and Ian F, Nicole Fox, Zuraida Jardin – even Gareth in his first days at 5, before I undoubtedly stopped recording, swearing at their stupid asses for talking over the songs. (I didn't know about 'clocks' then, you see.)
Despite the poor quality sound and the shameful mix of good and bad taste in music, hearing the tapes I'd listened to over and over again in high school was more than nostalgic. I didn't think about my friends and sports days, or waking up at 6am and putting on a blue skirt. I remembered just being a young girl locked up in her room with paint brushes everywhere. I remembered the neat stack of files for school work and the tidy desk I spent so much time at. And I remembered the unassuming oval box that was my pride and joy, which yodelled out my favourite songs as loudly as it could. Yes, music always takes us back to parties and good times with great people. But it's that time I spent with my music alone that's so distinctive. No one critiquing how good or bad the line-up was. No one asking who sings which song. Because frankly, it doesn't matter when you're twirling around to it alone in your room.
I'm so chuffed I found them. I now have "Mixed Tape Mondays" when I listen to a different tape on the way to work. It's surprising how refreshing it is to recall the feeling of being young and relatively careless. Because it also reminds me how much better so many other aspects of my life are now that I'm not naïve and unspoiled, if you will. I'll post the playlists on here every Monday just in case you remember some. And please, don't judge me when you see 'JC Chasez' posted up there…

Rhetorical Triangle
Communication is indispensably a trilateral relationship that comprises of logos, ethos and pathos. Logos is the idea or the message in which a sender must use effective augmentative facts to support his statistics and details. Pathos is the emotion or force that one must use so as to touch the feelings of the audience and appeal to their emotions. Ethos is the manner and form in which a speaker or writer has to use in order to convince his audience that he is trustworthy. This can only be achieved if the information sender presents him/herself as well as possible.
Each part of this triangle influences the audiences and are both influenced by the context of the topic in communication. The participants of a rhetorical triangle are therefore the speaker, the audience and the situation they are in. They bare the responsibility of ensuring effectiveness of the communication. The following two videos will be analyses in this context.
Abnormal psychology
Dr. Arthur. J (2010) faces of abnormal psychology. Retrieved from
On 23rd March 2010
This video presents the topic of abnormal psychology. Both the written and spoken communication is effective to pass the desired information to the audience. The audiovisual presentation of this video is of high quality. Each type of disorder is discussed at the length
The speakers are categorized into two. There are those who present each of the topics, they give brief information of each page, where by, we learn of the clients being interviewed, Their medical history, age, gender and all the personal information of the client's life like relatives and friends. All this is under the 'summary of the task'.
Doctor Arthur exposes the various disorders with good examples from patients suffering from the disorders. He presents brief information concerning the clients by putting the disorder in medical terms. He offers information of various diagnoses and their treatment. He also presents case studies, statistics, logical reasoning and facts. The authority in his voice makes us as the voice of the audience we as the audience to be engrossed get to trust him. We find his findings credible and reliable as source of information. The situation is that of a medical field which enables us as the viewers to understand the purpose and reason of the presentation thus achieving effective communication (Arthur, 2010).
Crohn's diseases
You-tube (2010) embarrassing illness-Crohn's diseases. Retrieved from www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rNiezP5OD4
On 23rd March 2010
This is a video which presents a situation where a young man, Jack visits a clinician after suffering form chronic diahorea since childhood. He suspects to be having the embarrassing disease Crohn's Disease. The video explores the ailments of the diseases and its conditions which leaves the audience quit embarrassed. The video aim to de-stigmatize the common complains associated with this condition. The speaker advises those that have the same symptoms like the ones Jack is suffering from to visit clinicians.
There is a brief interview between the clinician sand the patient where we learn of the various signs and symptoms of the Crohn's Disease. Statistics, of this problem is said to happen to 1 in 1500 people and is inheritable (You-tube, 2010).
This video compared to that on faces of disorder is not much comprehensive it has specialized on Crohn's disease yet there are various embarrassing diseases that can be presented as one entity. A face of disorder presentation has effective techniques by the use of visual aid as well a speech. It also shows competencies in human interaction by giving the audience information concerning the video.

The Diprobase range includes a cream, ointment, and lotion for treating eczema and other dry skin conditions of all severities.
These products are all emollients that rehydrate the skin and help to restore its natural moisturising properties.
Diprobase Lotion is for mild eczema and contains ingredients that help to restore the skin's protective barrier. This is one of the keys to healthy skin because it reduces evaporation and locks in moisture, allowing the skin to moisturise itself and preventing it from drying out.
In people with a dry skin condition, this barrier has often been damaged, meaning moisture is regularly lost and irritants get in, aggravating the skin and making it look and feel worse. Many common soaps and cleansers don't help, because they often contain irritants that aggravate the condition.
This lotion is free from such chemicals. In helping to restore the skin's natural protection system, it reduces itchiness and makes the skin feel smoother, softer, and more elastic.
It has a non-greasy and light texture, and can be used as regularly as needed on large areas of the skin. The lotion is easily absorbed and babies and children can use it as well as adults.
When used as part of the daily skincare routine, it can also prevent future flare ups of the condition.
The ingredients in Diprobase Lotion are:
Diprobase Lotion is best applied liberally to affected areas of dry skin, immediately after washing. Smooth it across the skin until it is absorbed. Use it as often as required.
The lotion can also be used as a cleanser on moist skin, and should be rinsed off afterwards.
Diprobase Lotion is not to be ingested and contact with the eyes should be avoided.
Always store this product out of reach of children.
Check the list of ingredients and do not use if you are allergic to any of them. In the case of undesirable effects such as skin irritation or rash, stop using the lotion immediately and consult with your pharmacist or skin specialist.
There are no known side effects of using Diprobase Lotion other than for people with hypersensitivity to the ingredients. No interactions with other medicinal products have been reported to date.
HelloSkin's experts were unable to find any scientific data on the use of Diprobase Lotion in people with psoriasis. However, the product contains petrolatum and glycerin. Both ingredients are known to help attract and retain water in the skin, thereby helping to keep the skin hydrated and moist (1).
In dry skin conditions, including psoriasis, water loss from the upper skin layer is linked to a reduced skin barrier function, which may be worsening the disease symptoms (2). Water evaporation is increased in psoriatic lesions compared with normal skin (3).
HelloSkin's experts were unable to find any clinical data on the use of Diprobase Lotion in people with atopic dermatitis. However, the products contains petrolatum and glycerin, which are known to help prevent water evaporating from the skin surface.
In young children (2-6 years) with atopic dermatitis, a study showed that an emollient with glycerol and paraffin/petrolatum compared to its vehicle improved skin dryness and hydration and the eczema severity after 4 weeks (4).
Some of the symptoms of atopic dermatitis are impaired skin barrier integrity and increased susceptibility to secondary bacterial infections in the skin. Interestingly, at the molecular level a recent study of the effect of petrolatum/paraffin in patients with atopic dermatitis concluded that petrolatum is able also to modulate levels of antimicrobial peptides, and induce the expression of markers related to barrier integrity, such as filaggrin (5).

What has happened to civility in our society? Why does it seem impossible to engage in a civil discussion on vaccines and public health? According to The Institute for Civility in Government:
"Civility is about more than just politeness, although politeness is a necessary first step. It is about disagreeing with respect, seeking common ground as a starting point for dialogue about differences, listening past one's pre-conceptions, and teaching others to do the same.
"Civility is the hard work of staying present even with those with whom we have deep-rooted and fierce disagreements. It is political in the sense that it is a necessary prerequisite for civic action. But it is political, too, in the sense that it is about negotiating interpersonal power such that everyone's voice is heard, and nobody's is ignored."
Over the last few weeks there have been a barrage of articles accusing parents of being irresponsible for not vaccinating their children with the Measles-Mumps-Rubella [MMR] vaccine. There have been calls for jailing parents who have not vaccinated and threats against medical doctors who speak out about problems associated with vaccines, including calls for their license to be revoked.
What has not been mentioned is that the argument is old. It started in Great Britain, shortly after Jenner's invention. While citizens wanted to be protected against smallpox, which killed tens of thousands up through 1900, many were repulsed at the idea of smearing cow pus across a cut placed on the arm of their child. Some became loudly anti-vaccine after their child contracted gangrene from the inoculation and died. These deaths were deemed to be, "for the good of the whole."
With the passage of the first compulsory vaccination law in 1853, the battle lines were drawn and the clash between the necessity of inoculation and the right to refuse began. In 1840, smallpox vaccinations were offered across the U.K. for free by the early equivalent of today's public health clinics. Since free inoculations didn't increase the rate of vaccine uptake, the 1853 Compulsory Vaccination Act was passed. Without an enforcement provision in the law, the vaccination rate remained around 60%. This was deemed to be too low to stop the spread of the disease. Therefore, a second compulsory law was passed in 1867 that provided the necessary mechanisms for collecting fines and jailing those who refused.d is that the arguments are old. They started in Great Britain, shortly after Jenner
The 1867 law compelled Health officers, called Law Guardians, to go door-to-door, vaccinating all infants considered to be "nuisances, dirty, vile and filled with disease." (Durbach, pgs 9, 22-23.) Physicians who failed to vaccinate or falsified a vaccination certificates could be prosecuted and fined. Parents who refused to vaccinate could be taken to court and fined repeatedly for up to 14 years, or until they complied. Hundreds had their homes and possessions seized and sold to pay the fines. If they had no goods to sell, the father could be imprisoned for up to 2 weeks. As many as 2,000 parents per year were jailed, and many were repeatedly prosecuted for resisting vaccination or for defaulting on the fines.
The confiscations and fines were especially burdensome for the poor and working classes. In 1853, riots, marches, and protests periodically broke out. The enforcement provisions in the 1867 Act lead to the formation of the Anti-Vaccination League, an organization that grew to more than 20,000 active members. The professionals in the organization included physicians who had cared for patients injured by the smallpox vaccine, and had observed many cases of smallpox after Jenner's "cow-poxing." Parents involved in anti-vaccination protests had personal experiences with vaccine disasters. Many protested based on principle alone: the right to refuse animal matter being injected into the body.
One of the early campaigns was called "Our Babies Battle." Campaigns to repeal Compulsory Vaccination involved local hiding children, demonstrations, acts of civil disobedience, and voluntary incarceration. Resistance was lead by individuals whose children had been injured or died by vaccination. Anti-vaccinationists were ignored and dismissed by local authorities – then and today – and were labeled as "anti-authority fringe" and "anti-government lunatics."
The battle between compulsion and the right to refuse raged on until the passage of the 1898 Vaccination Act, which introduced the ability to refuse to vaccinate based on conscientious objection. The precedent for conscientious objection in Britain had been long established. The Oaths Act of 1888 allowed those to refuse to swear an oath if it was contrary to their religious belief. The Education Act of 1870 allowed parents to exempt their children from religious prayers or teachings in the public school system if the content was contrary to their religious beliefs. Those who refused vaccines were familiar with these arguments and used them to oppose vaccination as a legally protected right.
Similar to today's objectors, conscientious objectors were neither irrational nor negligent. They maintained that they were intelligent, loving and devoted parents, protecting their children from the repulsiveness and dangers of vaccination. After the passage of the 1898 Act, more than 203,000 certificates of objection were issued in the first year.
A Royal Commission on Vaccination, appointed in 1889, investigated the concerns of the objectors. Seven years later, the commission concluded that vaccination should remain compulsory but parents would retain the right to refuse if they were "honestly opposed." To separate those who were "objecting responsibly" from those who were "simply negligent," a parent was required to appear before a magistrate who must be satisfied that the request was legitimate before honoring the right to refuse. Washington is one of several states have recently passed similar laws.
Our Babies Battle rages on in 2015. The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) receives more than 12,000 filings each year, ranging from a sore arm, to seizure disorders, to a long list of neurological and autoimmune disorders and even death. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out more than $2.8Billion in injury awards since its inception in 1986. Pro-vaccine supporters sling mud, calling highly educated, well researched, and informed parents "negligent and irresponsible" when they choose to not inject their children with solutions of known toxicity and a track record of serious harm. All forms of mainstream, social media and now even politics are being used to threaten parents and doctors who do not support the vaccine paradigm.
The vitriolic accusations of the pro-vaccine campaigns must stop. Instead of clamoring that vaccines are "completely safe and mostly harmless," research examining the effect vaccines have on rapidly developing tissues is past due. Meta studies cannot adequately assess the role vaccines have played in the current state of poor health seen in our children. It is time to engage in civil dialogue about the true necessity of vaccinating every child with every vaccine. With today's medical advances in genomics and mitochondrial testing, we must begin to take into consideration family history and the current health challenges of both children and adults prior to vaccinating. We have the tools to assess those who could be harmed by vaccinating… and offer other suggestions for avoiding infections.
The ultimate study would compare the health of a matched set of fully vaccinated children to the health of completely unvaccinated children. Compare the difference between the number of days of school missed per year due to illness. Tabulate the number of daily pharmaceutical drugs each group is taking. Document how many courses of antibiotics have they had in the first three years of life. Is the real reason that the CDC refuses to do this study is because they do not want to know the answer?
The mainstream media has created circuses over a few cases of a viral infection – measles, mumps, influenza, chickenpox and others – simply because we have a vaccine, an injection assumed (but not guaranteed) to prevent the spread of the illness, an injection that can cause a lifetime of illness, even death. Public health must be more than high vaccination rates and low infection rates of a very short list of infectious disease.
The truth is that vaccines can and do cause harm. It is appropriate to want to intelligently protect humans – children and adults – from any medical procedure, including vaccination, that can cause long term disability, even death. There are other protective measures that can be offered to minimize illness. Accusatory statements only serve to inflame an already hostile dialogue. It is time to introduce civility into the discussion of vaccination – and demand respect for those who have a constitutionally protected right to refuse.

Now in it's 30th year, Writer's Eye, started by The Fralin's docents in 1986, is an annual literary competition that challenges writers of all ages.
Writers from 3rd grade through adults use visual art as inspiration for the creation of original poetry and prose. Compositions inspired by selected works on view in the Museum can be submitted in the categories of Prose or Poetry, for grades 3–5, 6–8, 9–12, and University/Adult. Winners are honored at an annual ceremony in the spring, and first-, second-, and third-place winning entries are published in the Writer's Eye anthology.
Entries are judged anonymously by area teachers and writing professionals. This year's Distinguished Judges include authors Lisa Russ Spaar and Christopher Tilghman. Lisa Russ Spaar, the Distinguished Judge for Poetry, is the author/editor of over ten books of poetry and criticism, including the Monticello in Mind: 50 Contemporary Poems on Jefferson. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Best American Poetry, Pushcart Prize Anthology, Poetry Daily, and Verse Daily. Christopher Tilghman, the Distinguished Judge for Prose, is the author of two short story collections, In a Father's Place, and The Way People Run, and the novels, Mason's Retreat and Roads of the Heart. His reviews and essays have appeared frequently in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and elsewhere. Learn more about this year's judges here.
Art selections for Writer's Eye 2016 were drawn from four exhibitions: Andy Warhol: Icons, THE GREAT WAR: Printmakers of World War I from the VMFA, A Gift of Knowing: The Art of Dorothea Rockburne, and New Acquisitions: Photography, as well as from the Museum's permanent collections.
Writer's Eye tours have ended for 2016. We look forward to updating you on our plans for 2017!
Writer's Eye 2016
The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia is pleased to announce the winners of Writer's Eye 2016, the 30th anniversary of the Museum's annual literary competition challenging writers of all ages to create original works of poetry and prose inspired by art. Writer's Eye was the brainchild of Carole Armstrong and Valerie Morris—two of the Museum's docents who launched the program in 1986—and has become a mainstay of the local school curriculum, as well as the University community. The program's success relies on support by several annual donors, as well as the efforts of nearly 100 University student and community docents, who volunteer to lead twelve weeks of tours to introduce students to artwork selected for the competition.
