One in eight Americans would engage in civil disobedience to stop global warming
According to a Yale survey on Americans' interest in global warming, few Americans are vocal about the crisis:
- Only one in three Americans say they discuss global warming at least occasionally with friends or family, down 8 points since November 2008;
- Few Americans (<8%) communicated publically about global warming in the past 12 months (e.g., online or in the media);
- About one in ten Americans wrote letters, emailed, or phoned a government official about global warming in the past 12 months;
However, Kelly Rigg, director of The Global Call for Climate Action (GCCA) and TckTckTck is encouraged by the number of people supporting civil disobedience:
One in eight people (13%) say they would be willing to personally engage in non-violent civil disobedience against corporate or government activities that make global warming worse.Rigg explains what makes civil disobedience the most effective as a tactical tool:
But I would offer two observations about what makes civil disobedience most powerful:
- When it involves taking a serious personal risk (including the possibility of extended jail time) - a genuine sacrifice. Obviously one person's sense of sacrifice will be different than another's, but no one ever inspired millions by giving up meat once a week. Those four Greenpeace women who climbed the Shard recently? That was really something.
When there is a very clear and tangible villain - one that conjures up heartfelt anger that resonates with those who witness it. When Eleanor Fairchild, a 78-year-old great-grandmother was recently arrested for blocking TransCanada's bulldozers ON HER OWN LAND, I could almost feel my blood boiling.
So in answer to my own questions... Do numbers matter? Yes, I think so, though not necessarily in absolute terms. In many cases it's enough simply to exceed expectations. But getting 40 million people out on the streets would almost certainly be game changing.
I've written before about the case for civil disobedience and how civil disobedience can best help the climate movement. We've already seen these tactics work in delaying the Keystone XL pipeline and pressuring universities to divest from fossil fuel companies.
As we near the climate change tipping point, we will need to see more actions like this to put pressure on politicians at every level to enact policies that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

About a year ago my husband Brad and I took a trip to Asia. While there we spent a week traveling through China. From the first moment we landed in Bejing, our first stop, I was in awe of how modern everything felt. Even our hotel, which was was located in the Dongchen district right next to the Forbidden City, one of the older parts of the city, was very modern. This district of China contains buildings that are thousands of years old. I noticed that even the architectural details on these building are what we now consider "modern" details and designs.
Our second stop was Xi'an which contains one of the worlds greatest treasures, the Terracotta Army. The warrior's armor reminded me so much of a modern concrete motif you see in the exterior of contemporary architecture.
I hope you have enjoyed this little trip half way around the world and you too can take modern inspiration from these ancient cities.

Jon Bentley gets hands on with 2 in 1 laptops
This week's test featured a diverse range of computing products that can just about all be categorised as 2-in-1s. They're designed to combine the informality of a tablet with the work focused practicality of a conventional laptop, all in one convenient package.
I've been a 2-in-1 user for quite a while. I bought one of the original Lenovo Yogas back in 2012, though I tend to view it more as a touchscreen laptop than a hybrid device. While it's often handy to be able to push the screen back flat while working with it on your lap, or twist it round nearly 360 degrees to watch videos in "tent" mode, I've never used it much as a pure tablet, with its screen bent round the full 360 degrees. This is partly because it's always felt too big and heavy to use as a tablet, and also because I don't think the desktop-biased Windows interface, whether 8 or 10, works particularly well in touch-only form.
I think that's also the main reason I've never been inclined to buy a Microsoft Surface Pro. As I feel I need a physical keyboard with Windows, having a detachable one flopping around, apparently with a mind of its own, is just a nuisance, and Microsoft's admirably precise, bundled, Surface pen doesn't quite make up for the inconvenience. Though one of my tech testers, Paul was an enthusiastic Surface convert I don't think I will ever be.
Apple has approached the 2-in-1 market from the opposite direction with the iPad Pro. Rather than using their full OSX operating system they've transferred their iOS iPhone and iPad interface to a product with a laptop-sized 12.9 inch screen.
I'm a fan of iPads, particularly the Mini which I find usefully larger than even a phablet-sized smartphone, while still being small and light enough to hold for long periods in one hand. It's a great paperback substitute and brings an informality to word processing, web browsing and running through your emails and social media.
At first glance the Pro appears to be just a bigger iPad and I soon found myself appreciating the better speakers while watching video, and the larger screen while reading digital magazines. All in a device that, in contrast to my Yoga in tablet mode, felt remarkably light and pleasant to hold considering its screen size. And when I started using the new Apple Pencil, which currently only works with the Pro, it felt transformed into an innovative device in its own right. Because it's sensitive both to pressure, and the angle at which it's held to the screen, the Pencil makes a very effective drawing tool in apps like Procreate, the revamped Notes and even Microsoft Office. I'm also looking forward to Adobe further improving their touch-based iOS apps to benefit from the Pencil's features.
With the addition of the Pencil I think the iPad Pro is a winner. Though, unless lots more software is written to take advantage of the unique features of the Pencil, I'm aware it's probably destined to be a niche product.
I don't think it's going to replace my Yoga laptop - iOS is too restrictive an operating system for that. Neither is it going to usurp my iPad Mini or for that matter my desktop. But in its own specialised way I think it feels like an exciting new type of device and I'm intrigued to see how the platform develops.

Education weighs heavily on minds of Nevada lawmakers
Eliminating the proficiency exam requirements for a high school diploma.
Allowing parents to fire school principals and staff members.
Education seems to be on the minds of state lawmakers this year. More than 60 bill draft requests – suggesting such measures – are being prepared for the legislative session, which starts in February.
Some seem to be bipartisan slam dunks, such as closing a loophole in Nevada law that came to light in September when Henderson police arrested two teachers for having sex with a 16-year-old student.
One of the teachers, John Stalmach of Dailey Elementary School, admitted to sex with the student from Basic High School, according to a Henderson police report. But the wheels of justice have been slow to turn.
State law says a teacher, administrator, coach or volunteer is prohibited from having sex with a student "enrolled in or attending the school at which the person is employed or volunteering." Stalmach met the student while previously teaching at Brown Junior High School, but he wasn't her teacher at Basic or in a position of authority over her when the acts in question occurred, according to Clark County School District officials. Attorneys contend Stalmach can't be convicted under the state law.
A bill requested by Assemblyman Jason Frierson, D-Las Vegas, would make it a crime for school workers to have sex with former students, as would another bill from Assemblywoman Marilyn Dondero Loop, D-Las Vegas.
"I haven't heard any push-back," Frierson said of his draft bill, which would amend the original 1997 law. "I can't imagine the Legislature intended to allow this kind of thing."
Other changes would create major shifts in power, such as two bills similar to the California "parent trigger" law. The California law enables parents to fire a principal or staff members, or shut down a low-performing school if half the parents at the school agree to it. More than 20 states have considered such legislation, and seven states have passed a version of it.
In Nevada, the two bills advocating more parent control are being requested by two senators and an assemblyman.
Assemblyman Ira Hansen, R-Sparks, is one of the backers and sat on the Legislative Committee on Education last session. That is when he realized parent involvement is key to changing the course of education in this struggling state, he said.
"It's difficult to get them involved unless we give them some leverage," he said. "It's really unfair that so many schools are failing students, but they're locked in."
Parental involvement is key, but Senate Majority Leader Mo Denis, D-Las Vegas, is unsure whether the measures in the bills are the way to get it, he said. He was a member of the education committee and was Nevada PTA president in 2009.
Another major change – replacing high school proficiency exams – has a chance though, Denis said.
All Nevada students must pass a proficiency exam in math, science, writing and reading to graduate from high school, but many students have to take the tests multiple times. Some never pass, even after five tries, and can't graduate.
"Those discussions are already being had" in the Nevada Department of Education, said Denis, where Superintendent of Public Schools James Guthrie has been critical of the proficiency exams.
Guthrie advocated abolishing the proficiency exams during a speech to the Nevada Association of School Boards last week, contending the tests aren't aligned with the curriculum.
Denis heard from one parent who moved a child to St. George, Utah, for the last semester of her senior year just so she could graduate. Utah doesn't have proficiency exams as a condition for earning a diploma. For that reason, surrounding states are also putting the pressure on Nevada to change the system, Denis said.
The bill calls for using final exams at the end of every high school course in math, English and science in place of the proficiency exam, said sponsor Assemblywoman Lucy Flores, D-Las Vegas.
"The proficiency exam is incredibly difficult for some kids because it is not what we are teaching them." Flores said. "I want to replace it with end-of-course examinations on the material they have been taught."
Her bill probably would require students to take either the ACT or SAT but wouldn't hold them back because of low scores, she said. Instead, the ACT/SAT scores earned by juniors would be used to place them in the best courses their senior year, making sure they're ready for college.
"The purpose is not to make graduation easier," she said.

I love broccoli, so much so that my mom had a problem getting me to eat anything but broccoli for a long while when I was a kid (I know…I am weird). I would eat it plain, with lemon juice or covered in melted cheese (obviously my favourite way). When it comes to cutting broccoli […]

Contract Administration: A Resident Engineer's Viewby Stephen B. Quinn, (M.ASCE), Project Mgr.; Howard, Needles, Tammen & Bergendoff, Houston, Tex.,
Serial Information: Journal of the Construction Division, 1982, Vol. 108, Issue 1, Pg. 85-91
Document Type: Journal Paper
Professional liability related to field work is a major concern of the consulting profession. Field personnel should review the plans and specification in the pre-construction period and systemize the plans. Revisions are a major source of error and must be thoroughly reviewed and documented. Extensive documentation consisting of field reports, project reports, memoranda, and letters must be kept. The resident must be aware of all phases of the contractor's operations, the projected work schedule and the capability of his own staff. Client involvement before, during, and after construction in relation to cost changes is necessary. The paper points out procedures that should be utilized in order to limit exposure to liability to the client and to the consultant.

Brief Synopsis
Chris Brander has it all--money, good looks and a flashy job as an LA music executive. But back in high school in New Jersey in the 1990''s, Chris was shy, overweight and the butt of the cool crowd''s jokes. The only bright spot in his life was his friendship with Jamie Palamino a super-popular cheerleader. But Chris was harboring a secret--he was hopelessly in love with his best friend. On the night of their high school graduation, Chris finally works up his courage and makes his feelings known. In response, a surprised Jamie proceeds to give him the "Just Friends" speech. Enraged and humiliated, Chris declares himself no longer friends with Jamie and storms off. Ten years later, Chris has reinvented himself as a smooth talking lady-killer, living large in Los Angeles. Chris''s boss, KC, has just given him his most challenging job assignment yet--turning spoiled socialite, diva and magazine pin-up girl Samantha James into a pop-singing sensation. The well-known fact that Chris and Sam used to date, and that she still carries a torch for him, makes it all the more hellish. The less than talented Sam doesn''t feel she can "create" unless Chris whisks her off to Paris. En route, a plane malfunction causes them to make an unexpected pit-stop in New Jersey--the first time Chris has been back in 10 years. Chris'' plans to only stay the night are detoured when he runs into Jamie working at the local bar. Suddenly faced with the chance to undo the past and "seal the deal" with the "just friends" girl of his dreams, Chris finds himself postponing Paris. This sets off a chain of events in which Chris tries to woo Jamie, all the while distracting the suspicious Samantha. Unbelievably, Chris is finding it more difficult to romance Jamie than it was 10 years ago. Can one escape the clutches of the ''friend zone?'' Is it possible to go from ''just friend'' to boyfriend? Chris is about to find out the hard way.

face the fact, u're a mother with two kids.
stop telling lies that u're single and stop spreading rumours that u weren't happy when u stayed with us. stop telling lies!

to her friends, stop listening to her lies.
just ask urself--- what kind of woman, wife and mother she is??
WHEN she left her 2 kids, when she left her husband for another guy, when she told everyone bad things about her in-laws when the in-laws fed her when her family chased her out!
judgment is yours. is she human enough???
seriously woman, i pity u.
your family didn't want u. my family picked u up and fed u instead. but what did my parents get in return? stop talking humiliation when you humiliated yourself, proudly prove the world that u're a serious bitch.
my parents did nothing to u, it's between u and ur ex-husband.
and stop talking about me-- u know u have much dark past u possess that none of us ever tell anyone.
seriously, don't try me.
and it's sad that u even lied to ur current boyfriend's family.
acting single-- the fact that u have two kids at my parents' place who feed them, give them education, clothings and shelter for them to live.
ask yourself what did u give them in these 3 freaking years except a pair of sandals?
funny, in THREE years u only gave them a pair of sandals, a few toys and McDonalds for lunch?
u don't even pay for their school fees.
not even a single cent.
don't talk nafkah with my brother when you urself isteri derhaka, tinggalkan rumah tanpa izin suami untuk lari dengan lelaki lain, kejar cita-cita nak study overseas kononnya.

u're selfish. gatal kejar jantan lain sampai tinggalkan anak sendiri.
i took charge as their 2nd mother for god sake.
i am only their aunty but i took over ur duty and u're never thankful for that.
and all u can tell ur friends, bad stories about me.
i went to see the parents when ur kids got bullied at school.
i went to see the teacher for ur kids education progress.
i fed and cooked for them everytime they're hungry.
they do their homeworks with me.
and i was the one who thought your youngest chap how to spell.
now ask urself, are u a good mum???
... i warn u, if u ever dare again to text funny messages to my mother, i'm gonna give u a tight slap on ur face and won't afraid to give u the perfect humilliation that u've hide from ur new friends who don't even know ur past. jangan rasa diri tu mangsa, sedangkan awak sendiri tak senonoh. dari sekolah menengah dah melacur, dasar perempuan sundal. if u ever come near to my house again i won't hesitate to lodge a police report. i mean it. stop spreading gossips, minta ampunlah dengan my parents who fed you for soooo long when ur family can't even afford to give u RM50. u're selfish, u're ungrateful, u're the best actress on earth. act happy, but hiduplah dengan hati yang tak tenang selagi kau tak minta maaf dengan my parents.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Now Included In The DSM 5
How do you know if you are experiencing Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder?85 percent of women experience symptoms of PMS, whereas less than 1 percent are affected by PMDD. Therefore, doctors have been slow to accept PMDD.
Usually women experience symptoms between ovulation and the first day of their period. Symptoms can include severe depression, anxiety and tension to name a few.
Let's take a look at the three most prominent features of this disorder.
- First, your symptoms will be continuous for two months and correspond to your menstrual cycle.
- Next, the symptoms would be "disruptive to a woman's ability to carry out her normal activities. That's different than in PMS, where most symptoms are mild" according to NPR.
- Finally, a woman wouldn't be depressed "all the time, just in the days leading up to their periods."
Dr. C. Neill Epperson, director for Penn Center for Women's Behavioral Wellness, served on a work group to update the manual. Now that more information has been gathered on this disorder, PMDD was given it's own entry instead of lumping it with "not otherwise specified" category.
Hence, women are now talking more openly about their symptoms as well as ways to cope on social networking sites such as Twitter. Once you realize what is happening to your body, it's only natural to share your story with those who truly understand what you are going through.

The South Korean government has given the green light to the construction of the world's first "invisible" skyscraper, which will employ sophisticated engineering tricks to make itself almost completely undetectable to the human eye during daylight conditions.
Tower Infinity, to be situated just outside the South Korean capital of Seoul near the Incheon International Airport, will use a combination of cameras and LED projectors to render itself "invisible" by displaying real time images of the surrounding sky on its surface.
The technology used to create an "invisible" building a reality is akin to the cloaking technology which has long been a staple of science fiction, and has been touted as possessing vital military applications.
A system of cameras installed in the skyscraper will film the aerial vistas surrounding the building. Computers will then use this footage to create a composite panoramic image which will be projected onto the building's exterior.
The final result will be a building which will appear transparent during daylight conditions.
At 450 metres in height, the skyscraper will be the sixth-tallest building in the world upon completion. It will also come equipped with the world's third highest observation deck, which will offer visitors a superlative view of aircraft entering and leaving the Incheon International Airport.
While some would question the prudence of building an invisible skyscraper so close to a busy airport, GDS Architects, the firm behind Tower Infinity's design, says the skyscraper is intended to serve as an ironic symbol of South Korea's rise to the position of one of Asia's leading economies.
"Instead of symbolizing prominence as another of the world's tallest and best towers, our solution aims to provide the world's first invisible tower, showcasing innovative Korean technology while encouraging more global narrative in the process," said GDS principal Charles Wee.
US-based GDS Architects, in cooperation with Samoo Architects and A&U, came first in a national design competition launched by the Korea Land & Housing Corporation in 2011 for the provision of design and engineering services for an airport observation tower.
The tower is expected to be completed by as soon as 2014.

Yeah I've run into him a few times. Literally. That, and he sits in front of me in chemistry class. My brother Rob has been chumming it up with him. I'm really not sure what to think of him. He seems like he wants to be a nice guy but just can't quite get there. Confused might be a word for him. The main thing that I've noticed about him is that he doesn't seem to try. In chemistry, he understands the material and answers questions, but doesn't try to connect the dots. It's like he's wandering through life. He's just there. Doesn't look much to the future. Doesn't take initiative. Of course, I don't know him very well. I like to think that I'm good at reading people. He can do what he likes and what makes him happy I won't tell him how to live. Though I'd like to make a few suggestions...That's everyone! We'll continue posting occasional project updates (or just random thoughts the developers might have). As always, stay tuned.

Richest YouTube Stars: The YouTube Millionaires List
For the latest news and trends on top YouTubers, Instagrammers, bloggers, & Snapchatters, subscribe to our industry digest newsletter!
The Top 10 Richest YouTubers Made A Combined $70.5 Million In 2017 (Over A 30% Increase From 2 Years Prior)
UPDATE May 31, 2017 — We first published this list at the end of 2015, and naturally, a lot has changed since then. YouTube has over 1.5 billion users, and YouTube recently announced that the number of channels with 1 million or more subscribers is up 75%. In order to keep this list as accurate as possible, we've updated it to reflect the top 10 highest paid YouTubers for 2017. Most of the same names that appeared on this list in 2015 are still on it today, but there are a few new additions and a few YouTubers no longer ranked among the top ten. We've preserved the text from the original article, highlighting any updates, and tracking changes in metrics in order to get a better long-term view of the landscape of richest YouTubers.
Launched in 2005, internet juggernaut YouTube presented content creators (commonly called "YouTubers") with an entirely new opportunity to produce videos for large, engaged audiences. Since then, the platform has earned attention for its impact on pop culture and its effect on the marketing landscape. The changes to the latter have been so pronounced, in fact, that Forbes published their first list of top-grossing YouTube stars in October 2015 to illustrate the commercial viability of social media stars for both brands and consumers. Today, these top YouTube content creators have become mainstream celebrities in their own right and made millions in the process.
How The Top 10 Richest YouTubers Became Financially Successful
While there are a number of ways top YouTubers can monetize their reach and leverage their loyal social followings, most top YouTuber stars make money from video advertisements (usually pre-roll ads served at the start of each video), brand deal sponsorships, or collaborations (e.g. sponsored videos, YouTube product placements, partnerships with YouTube MCNs), affiliate commissions, and/or selling their own merchandise.
Our List Of The Top 10 Richest YouTube Stars
See which YouTube stars made our list of millionaires and learn about each influencer's other social channels—Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and others—below.
1. PewDiePie (The Richest YouTuber, Remains #1 in 2017)
Swedish-born Felix Kjellberg—a.k.a. PewDiePie—has garnered much attention for being the world's richest YouTuber. Kjellberg's gaming channel features primarily Let's Play YouTube videos and boasts over 44 million subscribers worldwide. In addition to being a prominent gamer, Kjellberg is also a spokesperson for YouTube (he appears on many of the company's billboards) and recently broke into the mainstream by appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. His salary is reported to be about $12 million annually.
Recently, with the launch of YouTube Red (YouTube's subscription service), PewDiePie polled his Twitter audience to see just how many of his millennial audiences use ad blockers—see his poll finds here.
UPDATE -- PewDiePie's subscriber count is now over 54 million and his annual income is estimated at $15 million. He's also recently been the subject of controversy following anti-semitic remarks and sentiments in several of his videos.

An Ohio native, Atwood frequently features his family and friends in many of his pranks. His recent sponsored video with Nissan resulted in a Streamy Award win in 2015.

UPDATE -- Lilly Singh saw huge gains across her social channels between 2015 and 2017, but perhaps the most significant boost was in estimated earnings, which jumped from $2.5 million in 2015 to $7.5 million in 2017, making her the third highest paid YouTuber.

4. Smosh (Formerly #2)
Comedy duo Smosh consists of Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox.

Recently, the two announced that they would head up a new YouTube series. With annual earnings of $8.5 million, they tie for second place among the top 10 richest YouTubers.
UPDATE -- Though Smosh is still in the top 10, Padilla and Hecox no longer hold the #2 spot. Their annual income is estimated at $7 million and all of their social channels show conservative growth.

- Estimated Earnings: $5 million
Honorable Mentions:

In addition to earning a massive audience of nearly 14 million subscribers, The Fine Bros. YouTube channel recently attracted attention for their six-minute recap of the newest Star Wars film. With earnings of $8.5 million a year, these top YouTubers are some of the most successful content creators on the platform.
UPDATE -- No longer in the top 10, The Fine Brothers have seen a fair amount of controversy over the last couple of years. Most of their channels show growth, save for a slight drop-off in Twitter followers.

With an income of $6 million per year, Stirling is YouTube's third-highest-paid star.
UPDATE -- Lindsey Stirling's shown significant growth across all channels, but isn't in the most recent top 10 list, perhaps because the threshold is higher in 2017 than it was in 2015.

A Walk in the Reinstein Woods
We went for a walk to day at the Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve, which is in a suburb of Buffalo (specifically in Cheektowaga, the "Land of the Crab Apple"). I'd never been there before, largely because until recently you could only visit on a guided tour (not that I'm not interested in taking a tour). Now the there are a couple of trails open to the unguided public. I was planning on shooting insects and spiders, but once we got there I felt tired and I could only manage to shuffle around and shoot some standard nature stuff. It was a nice early Fall day.
This was my only insect photograph, a Blister Beetle of the genus Meloe (also known as an Oil Beetle), I found on the sidewalk entering the preserve.

More from the Archives
First, a correction: in looking up a few facts for this post I realized that the images I posted on Tuesday are from 1989 and not 1988.
As I wrote about in Tuesday's post, I have been scanning never-before-seen negatives from my Junior photo class. One of the interesting finds are these images of the damage done by Hurricane Hugo to Charleston, South Carolina, taken while the city was freakishly paralyzed by eight inches of snow. Hugo was the most damaging Hurricane to hit the US up to that time, later it would be surpassed by Andrew and Katrina. In December of 1989 my family drove down to our relatives' houses in Florida. On the way we stopped to see my aunt and her family in Charleston and we ended up getting snowed in for an extra day. It is extremely unusual for South Carolina to get that kind of snow, of course the city doesn't have plows or even snow shovels. Hugo had come through in September and there was still property damage visible everywhere. What I like about these photos is that they look like they could be documenting Civil War damage.

Japanese Matchbox Graphics

Sophomore Photography Class 1988
I recently realized that it was 20 years ago this month that I began the first and only photography class I would ever take (in retrospect I wish I had been a photo major in college, but, whatever). I still have all of the negatives I developed in the class (about 250 exposures), none of them are in good shape, they're covered in scratches and other marks. At one point I must have seen all of these on a contact sheet, but until I scanned them the other day I had never actually seen the full size images.
It's weird to open up a window to the past. The grainy 400 asa film and the damaged negs make the images seem even older and more distant than they are (click to enlarge the pix below to see what I mean). I took a lot of pictures of trees and buildings and other things which are now totally uninteresting. I wish I'd taken more pictures of my friends and classmates. The one really surprising discovery was that I had taken a picture of a stray shopping cart in the Scajaquada Creek. I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise, there has been a consistency to my artistic and aesthetic concerns from about age nine forward. It reminds me of something David Cronenberg said in an interview (although I think he was paraphrasing someone else in his answer). He was asked why all of his films dealt with such similar themes and his answer was that they were made by the same person.

Picking up the Pace
I have been a bit slow about posting this summer (I truly don't know if anyone cares, the majority of people who visit this blog seem to be Googlers looking for pictures of the Japanese Giant Salamander). In any case, I plan on picking up the pace in the weeks to come. More 18th century turtles here.

I was in NYC (and New Haven) Saturday through Tuesday. I went down to see my friend (and fellow Buffalo resident) Neil Wechsler accept the Yale Drama Award for his play Grenadine. Edward Albee was the sole judge for the competition and he presented Neil with the award. It was a big deal. The award ceremony was at the Ritz Carlton in Battery Park which has a fantastic view of the statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. When a friend and I took a cab downtown, we were puzzled by how much traffic there was for a Sunday evening. We later found out that everyone had been called into to work on Sunday to deal with the Lehman Bros. collapse. There was a reading of the play presented by the Yale Rep the next day in New Haven. The reading was great, this was the second time I had seen Grenadine read, I look forward to eventually seeing a full production.
I managed to see most of what was up in the ground floor Chelsea Galleries, as usual there was only a tiny percentage of work that interested me. I was most excited to see a show Jean Luc-Mylayne at Gladstone Gallery. I will have more to say about him in another post.

Meredith Sparks' show at Elizabeth Dee was pretty cool, but I don't know what I would think if I didn't already have a deep affection for Kraftwerk, David Bowie and Joy Division.

A Holy Grail
I have not been actively shooting stray shopping carts for the couple of years, but on Wednesday I was riding my bike to the gym and I saw this just 2 blocks from my house. I turned around and sped back to the house to get a camera. I have been waiting for years to find one of these kiddie-car-carts on the streets, and now it has finally happened. Unfortunately, the setting is rather unspectacular (I was hoping to find one in the Scajaquada Creek), and the light conditions were not ideal, but it is probably about 3 miles from its Source which is remarkable. When I passed this corner on my way back from the gym, the cart was gone.

September on Lake Erie
Today was one of those "end of summer" kind of days. It was cool and stormy. But of course, today will be forgotten when it warms up for a few days and then cools off to create another end of summer day. This will probably happen a five times in September.

Get Yer Freak On
I photographed these spiders in the act of mating. As you can see in close-up picture, their jaws are locked, and the male (left) has his pedipalps (read below), poking all around her body. Here is how Wikipedia breaks down the process:
Sperm transmission from male to female occurs indirectly. When a male is ready to mate, he spins a web pad upon which he discharges his seminal fluid. He then dips his pedipalps (also known as palpi), the small, leg-like appendages on the front of his cephalothorax, into the seminal fluid, picking it up by capillary attraction. Mature male spiders have swollen bulbs on the end of their palps for this purpose, and this is a useful way to identify the sex of a spider in the field. With his palps thus charged he goes off in search of a female. Copulation occurs when the male inserts one or both palps into the female's genital opening, known as the epigyne. He transfers his seminal fluid into the female by expanding the sinuses in his palp. Once the sperm is inside her, she stores it in a chamber and only uses it during the egg-laying process, when the eggs come into contact with the male sperm for the first time and are fertilized; this may be why the vivipary has never evolved in spiders.Shortly after I took this photograph they separated. The male was lucky to get out alive.

WTF I was Just Interviewed on a UK Radio Show that has 5 Million Listeners!
I just did a very short, very fast interview on BBC2's national Chris Evans Drive Time show, about my Stray Shopping Cart book. I got the email from a producer this morning, later he called, did a pre-interview and we set up the on air interview for 6:10 pm GMT. I subsequently learned that my book had been mentioned in a Guardian article about the "Oddest Book Title Prize" (I won last year). Apparently there was a picture of the cover in the print version. I guess they are doing a weird book week on the show. I'm familiar with who Evans is, when I lived in England in 1996 he had a very popular TV show that I kind of liked. The interview went OK, like all the radio interviews I've done, I am set up to be this weirdo and then I have to quickly explain that I am an artist, it's a conceptual project, etc. In this case Evans said something like: "and now we go to an interview with Julian Montague, a guy who loved shopping trolleys so much he wrote a book about them." Needless to say that's not how I prefer to frame my artistic practice. But I'm not complaining, he was way nicer than the BBC World Service team that interviewed me last year, no one does dismissive like the BBC news. I find it kind of surreal that I was just on a show with 5 million listeners.
This is Chris Evans

Walker Art Center Acquires Merce Cunningham Dance Co. Collection
The Walker Art Center and Cunningham Dance Foundation (CDF) announce the Walker's acquisition of a comprehensive collection of artist-made set pieces, costumes, painted drops, and props, created for the internationally renowned Merce Cunningham Dance Company (MCDC). Over the course of his nearly 70-year career, Merce Cunningham (1919-2009) redefined the visual and performing arts through pioneering collaborations with leading artists, designers, and musicians. More than 150 objects created by such artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, John Cage, and Frank Stella will arrive at the Walker this year and be displayed for the first time beginning in November 2011. The placement of these works at the Walker supports a key goal of CDF's Legacy Plan-ensuring the preservation and ongoing accessibility of the Company's singular collection of 20th century art.
The acquisition of major works from the MCDC collection aligns with the Walker's cross-disciplinary collecting strategy and its mission to present contemporary art in a multidisciplinary context, in order to foster an understanding of the nexus between artistic disciplines. The acquisition marks a major landmark in both the museum and dance fields, making the Walker a new center for research and scholarship of Cunningham's work, and presenting a new model for preserving works created by multiple artists in support of a single choreographer's artistic vision.
"The acquisition of these works is groundbreaking for the Walker and for the museum field at large, affirming our longstanding commitment to bringing together diverse artistic practices to form a cross-disciplinary blend of programs," said Walker Executive Director Olga Viso. "We enjoyed a lasting relationship with Cunningham beginning in the early 1960s and look forward to inspiring future generations with programs, exhibitions, and new scholarship devoted to his legacy of innovation and collaboration."
The Walker will present its first installation of works from the collection in November 2011, in an exhibition focusing on Cunningham's creative collaborations with major artists. This exhibition coincides with MCDC's final engagement at the Walker, to be presented November 4 - 6, 2011, as part of the Company's farewell Legacy Tour. The engagement continues a relationship that began in 1963, when MCDC was first presented by the Walker. The November performances will be the company's first performance actually held inside the Walker (all past MCDC performances have been off-site or have been outdoors).The Walker will organize additional exhibitions exploring Cunningham's collaborations with artists over the next three years.
"The Walker is one of MCDC's most dedicated and longstanding partners, and the center's unique commitment to both the visual and performing arts makes it the perfect steward for the company's extraordinary collection," said Trevor Carlson, Executive Director of the Cunningham Dance Foundation. "Similar to the placement of the Merce Cunningham Archives at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in 2003, the Walker's acquisition of this collection assures that this vital element of Merce Cunningham's legacy is preserved for future generations to study and experience firsthand."
The Walker is acquiring more than 150 objects dating back to 1942, when Cunningham began his distinguished 67-year career. During that time, Cunningham choreographed nearly 200 dances, most of which involved significant collaborations with leading visual artists who contributed unique set pieces and costumes. Notably, the collection contains Robert Rauschenberg's combine Minutiae (1954/1976) and his costumes for Antic Meet (1958), Frank Stella's set pieces for Scramble (1967), and the mylar pillows from Andy Warhol's Silver Clouds installation used for RainForest (1968), as well as works created independently by John Cage, Cunningham's life partner, that were ultimately incorporated into MCDC dances. The collection also includes set pieces and costumes created in the Company's later years by a younger generation of artists, including Ernesto Neto and the fashion designer Rei Kawakubo.
The presentation of the MCDC collection at the Walker will be further enhanced by other objects from Cunningham's career already in the Walker collection, including Jasper Johns' set pieces for Cunningham's Walkaround Time (1968) after Marcel Duchamp (purchased in 2000); the video installation by Molly Davies and Richard Weise showing David Tudor's preparation of the electronic score for Cunningham's Ocean (also purchased in 2000); Tacita Dean's elegiac film installation Merce Cunningham performs STILLNESS (in three movements) to John Cage's composition 4'33" with Trevor Carlson, New York City, 28 April 2007 (six performances, six films) (purchased in 2010); and four ink drawings by Cunningham. In addition, the Walker's collection contains pivotal works by Johns, Rauschenberg, Lichtenstein, Stella, and Warhol, positioning the Walker to link Cunningham's work with that of his collaborators.
"The interplay of the visual and performing arts has a long and rich history, but few artists rival Cunningham in his sustained collaborations with leading figures of the 20th century," said Walker Chief Curator Darsie Alexander. "With this acquisition, we acknowledge his tremendous contributions as a dancer and choreographer, while at the same time giving our audiences the opportunity to see the work of acclaimed artists-Rauschenberg, Johns, Lichtenstein, Stella-in a completely different light."
To complement the acquisition and aid in ongoing scholarship, CDF will grant the Walker access to "Dance Capsules"-digital packages of archival materials which are being developed as another part of the Legacy Plan-pertaining to each of the dances represented in the MCDC collection. Each Dance Capsule contains complete documentation of a Cunningham work, including performance videos, sound recordings, lighting plots, décor images, costume design, Merce Cunningham's choreographic notes, production notes, and interviews with dancers and artistic staff, and will serve as an invaluable supporting resource for Walker programming and the public.
The Walker's relationship with Cunningham dates back to 1963, when MCDC first performed in Minneapolis. Since then, the Walker actively supported Cunningham's work over 45 years through nine residencies, three commissions, an exhibition, and some 17 separate engagements, including three world premieres and two U.S. premieres. Highlights include the MCDC's 1969 Walker residency, in which the company performed the iconoclastic Canfield; the 1998 exhibition Art Performs Life, exploring the work and life of Cunningham, Bill T. Jones, and Meredith Monk; Event for the Garden (1998), a special performance in front of Spoonbridge and Cherry by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen to celebrate the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden's 10th Anniversary, which incorporated dozens of Andy Warhol's silver Mylar pillows floating in the air around the stage; and Cunningham's monumental restaging of Ocean (2000), at the bottom of a Minnesota quarry.
As a longtime supporter of both the Walker and the Cunningham Dance Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation provided early critical funds to support the documentation and assessment of the inventory held by the MCDC, which greatly informed the Walker's purchase. Most recently, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded a grant to underwrite the costs associated with the necessary transportation, storage, conservation assessment, cataloguing, and research for the Walker's acquisition of the MCDC collection. The acquisition is a gift of Jay F. Ecklund, the Barnett and AnnaLee Newman Foundation, Agnes Gund, Russell Cowles and Josine Peters, the Hayes Fund of HRK Foundation, Marion Stroud Swingle, Kathleen Fluegel, Barbara G. Pine, and the T. B. Walker Acquisition Fund, 2011.
About the Cunningham Dance Foundation and the Legacy Plan
The Cunningham Dance Foundation is dedicated to sustaining and advancing the creative work of Merce Cunningham (1919-2009)-choreographer, teacher and artist-through support of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and Repertory Understudy Group; the Merce Cunningham Studio, which provides training in Cunningham TechniqueTM and oversees the Studio Performance Program for Young Artists and Educational Outreach; and the Merce Cunningham Archives. In 2009, the Foundation launched Mondays with Merce, a pioneering web series that provides the public with behind-the-scenes access to Cunningham's creative process.
The Cunningham Dance Foundation's precedent-setting Legacy Plan delineates the future of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and ensures the preservation of Merce Cunningham's artistic legacy. The multifaceted plan includes the celebratory two-year Legacy Tour, and supports career transition for the dancers, musicians, and staff who have invested their time and creative efforts into the realization of Cunningham's vision. The Plan also provides for the creation of digital "Dance Capsules" that will bring Cunningham's work to life for future generations.
Lead support for the Cunningham Dance Foundation's Legacy Plan provided by Leading for the Future, a program of Nonprofit Finance Fund, funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation; The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; and an anonymous donor.

It's crazy not to have spent a weekend doing readings and writing assignments. I've actually managed to take a break from schoolwork the entire weekend to do some Christmas preparations, including decorating the tree.
Tomorrow I will return to my school routine by working on assignments at 8:30 in the morning. For now, I am enjoying the silent days and nights.

New research suggests a lasting relationship reduces the risk of premature death during mid-life.
Ilene Siegler, Ph.D., and colleagues from Duke University Medical Center studied the role of marriage history and timing of marriage on premature death during midlife. The researchers also explored the role of premarital personality and the role of health behaviors on premature death.
Investigators discovered not having a permanent partner, or spouse, during midlife is linked to a higher risk of premature death during those midlife years.
Research findings are published online in Springer's journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
In the study, researchers analyzed data for 4,802 individuals who took part in the University of North Carolina Alumni Heart Study (UNCAHS), an ongoing study of individuals born in the 1940s.
The authors were particularly interested in stability and change in patterns of marital and non-marital status during midlife, controlling for personality at college entry (average age 18), socioeconomic status and health risk behaviors.
They found that having a partner during middle age is protective against premature death: those who never married were more than twice as likely to die early than those who had been in a stable marriage throughout their adult life.
Investigators found that being single, or losing a partner without replacement, increased the risk of early death during middle age and reduced the likelihood that one would survive to be elderly. Even when personality and risky behaviors were taken into account, marital status continued to have a major impact on survival.
The authors conclude: "Our results suggest that attention to non-marital patterns of partnership is likely to become more important for these Baby Boomers.
"These patterns appear to provide different levels of emotional and functional social support, which has been shown to be related to mortality. Social ties during midlife are important to help us understand premature mortality."

Your Healthcare Provider
A child's healthcare provider is the best health resource. Your provider can help assess your child's risk for overweight or obesity. They can help to explain how a child is growing and, if need be, make recommended changes in eating or activity habits that can benefit the whole family. A registered dietitian is also uniquely qualified to help families recognize and change eating habits that could be contributing to excess weight gain in a child.
When speaking with your child's health care provider, consider the following:
- Ask about your child's blood pressure and whether it's normal.
- Ask about additional tests (cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose) to identify health risks that may be associated with your child's weight.
- Create a plan for how your child's growth and weight will be monitored and checked in the coming year.
- Ask your health care provider to refer additional support services, such as working with a dietitian for nutrition counseling, consulting a physical therapist if there are physical activity limitations, or other weight management services available in your area.

This Popular Moisturizer Was Applied to Mice for 17 Weeks. The Results Will Terrify You
A study has found that topical applications of moisturizers such as Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream, or Vanicream could increase skin cancer risk.
Irradiated mice who were treated with the moisturizers exhibited a significant increase in their rate of tumor formation and increase in tumor size per mouse. Treatment of the mice with Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin, or Vanicream for 17 weeks increased the total number of characterized tumors by 69 percent.
According to the study, as reported by Green Med Info:
"The results indicate that several commercially available moisturizing creams increase the rate of formation and number of tumors when applied topically to UVB-pretreated high-risk mice. Further studies are needed to determine the effects of topical applications of moisturizing creams … in humans."
Many skin lotions, creams and oils contain mineral oil, as do many tanning products. Mineral oil may sound safe enough, but… it's not.
Mineral oil is actually a derivative of petroleum, the same stuff you put in your car's engine. Because it's slippery, many products use mineral oil as the main ingredient, as it allows the lotion to be spread easily across your skin. This despite the fact that it's a known carcinogen!
It's also comedogenic which means it blocks your pores and your skin's natural respiration process. Blocked pores can lead to blackheads and pimples. And, because mineral oil can create an impenetrable film on your skin, it may also block the absorption of any beneficial ingredients that might exist in the product.
Moisturizing Creams with Mineral Oil Can be Tumorigenic
The featured study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, found that commonly used moisturizing creams containing mineral oil are tumorigenic when applied topically to UVB-pretreated high-risk mice. What this means is that these creams and lotions can increase the rate at which skin tumors form. The study tested four common skin lotions:
- Dermabase
- Dermovan
- Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream
- Vanicream
Many women who breastfeed will apply cream to their breasts without too much consideration for what's in it. Hopefully, you now will not be one of them. Studies have actually found that mineral oil paraffins can bioaccumulate in both fat tissue and human breast milk. According to the authors of one 2008 study:
"Mineral paraffins might be the largest contaminant of our body, widely amounting to 1gram per person and reaching 10 grams in extreme cases."
It's believed that your baby may receive about one percent of the mineral paraffin accumulated in your body and breast milk. A previous study sums up the problem of using mineral oil-containing skin creams when you're breastfeeding:
"Beside exposure of babies via human milk, the intake by direct licking off salves (in the worst case consisting of Vaseline) from the breast of their nursing mothers may be much higher. In a worst case situation, daily intake from breast care products by babies is estimated to reach 40mg/kg bw.
Many compositions do not comply with the specifications and a temporary group ADI of 0-4mg/kg bw established by the SCF. This possible exposure of babies either calls for a toxicological re-evaluation of the mineral paraffins or for measures ensuring that exposure of babies is reduced."
With that in mind, please avoid using creams and lotions that contain mineral oil (especially Vaseline) on your breasts while you're still breastfeeding. It would also be wise to avoid putting baby oil on your baby's skin, as most baby oil brands contain straight mineral oil!
