The Escentric 02 Eau De Toilette by Escentric Molecules is a delicately balanced fragrance crafted around the mineral ambroxan, blended to create an enticing scent.
The sweet, warm and earthy scent of ambroxan is carefully complemented by hedione, a green jasmine bud that lends a scent reminiscent of a gin and tonic to the fragrance. The addition of orris and elderflower extract emphasises this clear, clean scent. When dry, the Escentric 02 Eau De Toilette exudes a warm, sensual and elusive fragrance.
Geza Schoen, the nose behind the fragrance, developed the Escentric Molecules collection in 2006. The revolutionary concept involves launching two fragrances together, both paying homage to one key ingredient but blending it in different ways.
Please Note: This product is for sale to addresses in the United Kingdom only. We regret that we cannot ship these perfumes abroad.

The case for gender parity
There is a clear values-based case for promoting gender parity: women are one-half of the world's population and evidently deserve equal access to health, education, economic participation and earning potential, and political decision-making power. However, it is pertinent to note that gender parity is equally fundamental to whether and how societies thrive. Ensuring the healthy development and appropriate use of half of the world's total talent pool has a vast bearing on the growth, competitiveness and future-readiness of economies and businesses worldwide.
A variety of models and empirical studies have suggested that improving gender parity may result in significant economic dividends, which vary depending on the situation of different economies and the specific challenges they are facing. Notable recent estimates suggest that economic gender parity could add an additional US$240 billion to the GDP of the United Kingdom, US$1,201 billion to that of the United States, US$526 billion to Japan's, and US$285 billion to the GDP of Germany.9 Another recent estimate suggests that China could see a US$2.5 trillion GDP increase by 2020, and North America and Oceania could gain an additional US$3.1 trillion over the same period if they closed their gender gaps.10
A number of recent studies also indicate that a reduction in the employment gender gap has been an important driver of European economic growth over the past decade, and has the potential to unleash even further growth. Conversely, limiting women's access to labour markets is costly, as poor female labour force participation hampers economic growth.11 As a region, East Asia and the Pacific reportedly loses between US$42 billion to US$47 billion annually due to women's limited access to employment opportunities.12 Research by the World Bank demonstrates that similar restrictions have also imposed sizable costs throughout the Middle East and North Africa13 as well as the Sub-Saharan Africa region.14
This evident relationship between economic outcomes and gender parity and, in particular, the growing evidence of the positive effect of increasing gender parity on economic growth, is illustrated in Figure 6 on the basis of the Global Gender Gap Index. The method of calculating the Global Gender Gap Index is unique in eliminating the direct impact of absolute levels of any of its constituent variables so that, as a result, any relationship to relative wealth of any of the economies covered by the Index is endogenous to the dynamics of closing the global gender gap.
As detailed in the previous section of the Report, the Global Gender Gap Index takes into account four critical dimensions when measuring the gaps between women and men's access to resources and opportunities: economic participation, education, health and politics. Across these four different dimensions we see a number of positive interdependencies, knock-on and multiplier effects that highlight the multi-faceted nature of the benefits of increased gender parity.
For example, increased gender parity in education lowers infant and child mortality rates, lowers maternal mortality rates, increases labour force participation rates and earnings, and fosters further educational investment in children. The World Bank finds, based on a sample of a wide range of developing countries, that investing in girls so that they would complete education at the same rate as boys would lead to lifetime earnings increases of today's cohort of girls of between 54% to 68% of countries' GDP, equivalent to an increase in annual GDP growth rates of about 1.5%.15 Conversely, girls' exclusion from education considerably hinders the productive potential of an economy and its overall development. In the East Asia and the Pacific region, specifically, it has been estimated that between US$16 billion to US$30 billion is lost annually as a result of gender gaps in education.16 Similar to education, investing in health—and specifically in maternal, newborn and child health—has a significant multiplier effect.17
In the political sphere, women's engagement in public life has a positive impact on inequality across society at large. The issues which women advocate, prioritize and invest in have broad societal implications, touching on family life, education and health. Women's engagement in public life fosters greater credibility in institutions, and heightened democratic outcomes.18 In addition, there is a range of evidence to suggest that women's political leadership and wider economic participation are correlated (Figure 7).
Across all countries, making full use of women's capabilities paves the way to optimizing a nation's human capital potential. This is evidenced in the strong relationship between the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index and Human Capital Index, presented in Figure 8. Once certain basic elements of human development are in place, countries may initially take a variety of different pathways to further improve and invest in their human capital potential, as demonstrated by the wide range of outcomes in the midfield of Figure 8. However, if such strategies are too focused on just some elements of a country's population, they miss out on significant positive multiplier effects. Few of the top performers in the Human Capital Index have succeeded in maximizing the development and deployment of their nation's talent without also narrowing their gender gaps.
Women's participation in the formal economy, or lack thereof, is also a business issue—costing women, companies and, ultimately, entire economies. Female talent remains one of the most under-utilized business resources, either squandered through lack of progression or untapped from the onset. Business leaders and governments increasingly note that tackling barriers to equality can unlock new opportunities for growth. In the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Survey, 42% of business leaders perceived addressing gender parity in their company as a matter of fairness and equality; yet, in addition, more than a fifth of those surveyed also highlighted rationales closer to their core business: reflecting the changing gender composition of their customer base as well as enhancing corporate decision-making and innovation.
The combined impact of growing gender parity, a new middle class in emerging markets and women's spending priorities is expected to lead to rising household savings rates and shifting spending patterns, affecting sectors such as food, healthcare, education, childcare, apparel, consumer durables and financial services.19 With women controlling 64% of global household spending and US$30 trillion of consumer spending in 2013—a figure that is predicted to rise by almost a third over the five years leading to 201820—there are large potential benefits for companies with employees who can understand diverse customer bases.
Additionally, the global economy is currently in transition to a Fourth Industrial Revolution.21 In such a highly interconnected and rapidly changing world, diversity is critical to informed corporate decision-making and business innovation.22 When it comes to leadership positions, companies with top quartile representation of women in executive committees have been shown to perform better than companies with no women at the top—by some estimates with as much as a 47% premium on average return on equity.23 Links also exist between having more women directors and corporate sustainability, as well as with economic growth, since more diverse leadership teams can cater to a broader array of stakeholder needs and concerns.24 Unlocking these benefits requires focused action to address the underlying causes of persistent gender gaps in a systemic way.

Defining the difference in today's West 25th Street near the West Side Market from hard-scrabble conditions for much of the time since the late 1960s takes one four-letter word. Cash. Millions of dollars — which will have to be raised from multiple sources in coming years — are needed in order to ensure a legacy fund for the West Side Market and to continue the transformation of the surrounding Market District. In the meantime, more than $50 million already has gone into West 25th near the market, remaking it into what it is today: a vital food resource with genuine character as well as an active entertainment, residential and commercial district that is a must-see for the social set, tourists and foodies. Two immediate financial tasks face the neighborhood today linked to the centennial of the West Side Market this year and its focus as the site of the International Public Markets Conference. First, the Centennial Commission and Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson both want to use the celebration as a means to create a legacy fund to maintain the market. Meanwhile, Ohio City still needs to raise the last $200,000 to meet the $900,000 budget for centennial events. The tasks do not daunt Eric Wobser, executive director of Ohio City Inc., which the city of Cleveland has authorized to oversee the market's centennial celebration. Planning is a big part of his solution, and a surprise source of funds — corporate sponsorships — is an evolving part of the solution of the funding challenge. Planning comes into play because an architectural study of the West Side Market building's condition will not be finished until later this year. That study is crucial to determining how much repair work the brick landmark and adjoining wood market stands need to make it another century. As a result, Mr. Wobser said, the market's legacy campaign will kick off at a Nov. 3 gala chaired by Cleveland celebrity chefs Michael Symon and Jonathon Sawyer. The Jackson administration already has earmarked $2.3 million for West Side Market capital needs. Even without the study, Councilman Joe Cimperman, whose Ward 3 includes the area, knows more will be needed without the study. "The last time the city of Cleveland really spent money on the market was in the (Mayor Ralph) Locher administration," Mr. Cimperman said of a regime that ended in 1967. Money doesn't grow on trees
Monetary muscle still needed for market, district fixups
Mr. Wobser argues the remainder of the legacy funding will come from philanthropic and corporate sources, and others see room for individual contributors. For example, while final centennial gala ticket prices have not been set, there most likely will be tiered ticket price options ranging from $150 to $500 with different event entry times. The other new-breed funding source is corporate sponsorships from others besides neighborhood bastions Lutheran Hospital and St. Ignatius High School. "Just like politicians for years have known it is good to be seen at the West Side Market," Mr. Wobser said, "businesses are finding their way to the market for exposure." For example, Charter One, the presenting sponsor for the West Side Market Centennial, has invested $500,000 in the Market District and the West Side Market Centennial. The bank counts $100,000 of its contribution to the neighborhood as sponsorship, according to Carrie Carpenter, senior vice president and director of public affairs at Charter One Ohio. Sponsorship funds directly benefit the bank through promoting its name, she said, while its foundation, to satisfy tax laws, can generate the bank nothing of value. Charter One decided the Market District provides the bank with an opportunity to put its name before people from the neighborhood and region, Ms. Carpenter said, as well as banking on food's new celebrity. "Our brand is that good banking is good citizenship," Ms. Carpenter said, so signs and advertising at Ohio City events benefit the bank's image. The decision is based on estimates of attendance and value of signage at events as well as entertaining bank clients at events. Some funds went directly to six different nonprofits, from Neighborhood Progress Inc. efforts to revitalize West 25th through several city neighborhoods to LAND Studio, the organization formed from the merger of Cleveland Public Art and ParkWorks, to design the stand for the urban farm near the market. Other funds went into a $15,000 grant that helped 11 market vendors improve signs, lighting or shelving. And $40,000 went for a small business idea competition whose five winners now occupy neighborhood storefronts. Charter One's funding for the small business idea competition worked so well — it even attracted applicants who did not get grants to the street — the bank and Ohio City Inc. are doing it again this year with grants of $5,000 to $20,000 for new or expanding businesses in the Market District. Requests for proposals for grants are due at 5 p.m. May 21 and available at Ohio City Inc.'s website, www.ohiocity.org. Mr. Wobser hopes the competition fills the last five vacant storefronts. Iconic campaign
Contributing to the West Side Market centennial and the legacy program brings to mind the massive corporate and public campaign to rejuvenate the Statue of Liberty for its 1986 centennial. "The West Side Market is an international icon," Mr. Cimperman said. "If I'm a CEO and have a chance to have my company associated with something with more visitors than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum or Great Lakes Science Center, why wouldn't I?"

Nonlinear Dynamics and Control
Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Eckehard Schöll, PhD In the center of the activities of the group are theoretical investigations and computer simulations of nonlinear dynamic systems and complex networks. We study self-organized spatio-temporal pattern formation and its control by time-delayed feedback methods, and stochastic influences and noise. Our current research focusses on the deliberate control and selection of complex, chaotic, or noise-induced space-time patterns as well as dynamics of complex delay-coupled networks. As state-of-the-art applications we investigate power grids, optoelectronic and neural systems, in particular neuronal network dynamics, semiconductor lasers, and nonlinear dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures.

Continuing our series on screen portrayals of Pilate that I began in 2011 during Holy Week. The posts on portrayals of Pilate by Rod Steiger, Richard Boone, Barry Dennen, Hristov Shopov, Telly Savalas, Frank Thring, Stephen Russell, Greg Hicks, Cyril Richard and Stephen Moyer may be viewed here, here, here, here here , here, here, here, here and here.
Give us Barabbas was a Hallmark Hall of Fame tv movie shown in 1961. Pilate makes a brief appearance at the beginning of the film, asking the mob to choose between Barabbas and Christ. Washing his hands after Barabbas is chosen, Pilate, portrayed by Dennis King, seems very eager to end his role in what he clearly views as a very distasteful business. Eaten up by curiosity Barabbas has an interview with Pilate in which he questions why Christ had to die. Pilate responds that Christ spoke in riddles that puzzled Pilate and gave Pilate no grounds to spare his life. Pilate is filled with grief over the death of Christ, but does not see what else he could have done. King portrays Pilate with a great sense of world weariness, a man nearing the end of his career who did not want any involvement in this matter for which he is alone to be remembered.
It is almost a shame that this was not Barabbas the Musical as King was a noted singer, and for decades was star on Broadway. He never did much feature film work, and today is chiefly remembered for his work in early television. He died in 1971. The author of the screenplay, Henry Denker, who originally studied to be a rabbi, before making a ghastly error and becoming an attorney prior to finding his life long avocation of writing, often Christian themed religious dramas, lived until 2012, passing away at age 99.
Audience reception for the film was good and it was replayed for years near Easter on NBC.

If last year the VS investigated the masks, the costumes and the choreography of an actual Bolivian traditional dance – the Diablada – in the 2019 edition we will craft our own characters, to construct a layered performance, dealing both with popular myths and the urban fabric morphology.
Indeed, we will record the memories of Andean identitarian architectural compounds, consciously adopting dysfunctional procedures to track back the symbolic items that inspired them. El Alto's colourful buildings will become again costumes, masked characters with anthropomorphic and animalistic lineaments to dynamically inhabit the streets of La Paz – wearable and portable Cholets
Sampling _ 22nd July – 24th July
Arrival & General Introduction of Visiting School, Brief and Schedule.
During the first days we will lose ourselves on the altiplano, mapping selected cholets and the surrounding markets. Students will use the camera to sample precise architectural bits, record symbolic signs and pair them with daily found objects – recovering forgotten myths and looking for meaningful clashes.
Workplaces: Patricio Crooker's studio (tbc)
Crafting _ 24th July – 30th July
The actual translation will then take place: the cholets will be dissected and recomposed into personified miniatures, enabling a direct interplay of scale between architecture and the human body.. We will work mainly with clay, understanding its properties and construction techniques. Earthy finishings will be combined with polished components, the masks will be conceived as open interfaces for additions of alternative material fragments.
Workplaces: Mario Sarabia's studio (tbc)
Performing _ 30th July – 4th August
The cholets will become portable, alive characters inhabited by the students. They will collectively build and record an urban performance, a collection of moments to embody a culturally generated spatial narrative. And, eventually, to represent a constructed accomplishment of another form of Andean syncretism: the physical convergence between architecture and its actors.
Workplaces: Marcos Loayza's studio (tbc) + Cupola de Adobe (tbc)

LATEST UPDATES: Tracking COVID-19 (coronavirus)
Wireless Devices Did Not Cut Health Care Costs In San Diego Study
Friday, January 22, 2016
Would health care costs go down if patients could monitor their chronic diseases at home, using smartphone-connected medical devices? Some doctors think so.
But one recently published San Diego study found that wireless monitoring did not cut costs or make patients any less reliant on traditional health care.
Patients in San Diego used small medical devices, synced with an iPhone, to keep tabs on their chronic diseases. Their reliance on hospitals, emergency rooms and doctor visits did not go down.
"We didn't see any savings," said Dr. Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute in La Jolla, which carried out the study. "But the key there is that it was a very short-term study."
Topol and his colleagues launched the Wired for Health study in 2013. They wanted to see how health care use might change if patients were given portable, user-friendly devices to keep tabs on their conditions.
The researchers designed a six-month clinical trial and enrolled 160 San Diego patients dealing with diabetes, high blood pressure and heart arrhythmia.
They had some of those patients continue with standard disease management. But they gave the other patients devices to routinely monitor their blood sugar, blood pressure and heart rate, depending on their conditions.
The devices were synced with health apps on iPhones, also provided to the study participants. Patients could also share their monitoring data with health care providers through Qualcomm Life's HealthyCircles online portal.
During the trial, the monitoring patients still went to the emergency room, the hospital, or their doctor's office about as often as the other patients. Their health insurance claims were just as expensive as the patients who didn't wirelessly monitor themselves.
Topol said the trial results may not have shown savings, but they also didn't show increased costs.
"Some people had actually predicted that people having their data would give them terrible anxiety, and they would wind up going more to the emergency room or to the doctors," said Topol. "We didn't see that."
The study authors did note a slight increase in emergency room visits within the monitoring group, but they said the difference was not statistically significant.
One noticeable difference between the two groups had to do with how patients perceived their health. The monitoring patients felt more in control of their conditions, and less like their health outcomes were left to chance.
Topol said it could take longer than six months for potential savings from wireless monitoring to kick in. He also said technology has improved since the trial, which ended in 2014. He hopes future studies will give patients newer devices and track them for longer periods.
"This is just the beginning of the story," said Topol. "There are many more chapters coming."
Researchers need to come up with innovative ways to reduce the $3 trillion the United States spends annually on health care, Topol said.
"The hope is eventually we'll lower the need for emergency room visits, hospitalizations and doctor's office visits by giving people their own data that they generate on their own devices," Topol said.

Telephone:(00351) 21 792 00 92
The Project Narrative & Medicine aims at exploring the intersections between the Humanities and Medicine, in the therapeutic relations with patients. The project is being developed by a group of researchers from ULICES – University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, the Philosophy Centre of the same university, and the Centre for the History of Culture of the New University of Lisbon, among others. To date the group has organized an international conference in September 2010 and two Conference Cycles and Training Programmes in 2011 and 2012. Professor Rita Charon (Program in Narrative Medicine - Columbia University) is scientific advisor to the project, which also has other international partners including the Centre for the Humanities and Health, King's College (London) and the Laboratoire d'Éthique Médicale, Université Paris Descartes. As the project's main objective is the academic preparation and training of healthcare professionals and researchers in the Humanities, in this interdisciplinary area, it promoted the first optional post-graduate curricular unit in Narrative Medicine in the 1st semester of 2012-13, at the University of Lisbon. This involved collaboration from the Medical School of the University of Lisbon and from the Nursing School of Lisbon.
In 2012 the project team successfully applied for grant support from the FCT (PTDC/CPC-ELT/3719/2012, http://www.ulices.org/eventos/resultados-dos-projectos-ceaul-no-concurso-icadt-da-fct.html), and obtained funding for the next two years; diverse activities will take place over this period.

This is one of those David vs. Goliath stories — everybody loves those, right? — though in this case, David is a tiny Philly homeless advocacy group you've probably never heard of, and Goliath is New York City, because, come on, of course it is.
But for all its might and mouth, NYC couldn't outsmart a nonprofit organization with an inspiring mission: helping people escape homelessness.
After years of back and forth, the Homeless Advocacy Project (HAP) reached a settlement in a federal lawsuit challenging the city's ridiculous refusal to provide copies of birth certificates for New York City-born residents of Philadelphia without proper documentation.
In doing so, Philly, which is disparagingly referred to as the Sixth Borough, has struck a blow not just for Philadelphians but for all New York-born residents living elsewhere in the country.
How you like them apples?
With some judicially applied pressure from U.S. District Judge William Pauley III, NYC let HAP attorneys use their own photo identifications to vouch for their clients – a well-established protocol — and picked up the $75,000 in legal fees.
Even as a native New Yorker, I have to give serious props to Philly for putting an end to a vicious cycle that threatened to shut off housing, health care, and employment to already-vulnerable individuals.
And for reminding them that no matter how down on their luck, homeless people don't lose their rights just because they lose some paperwork.
Marsha Cohen, HAP's executive director, described the Catch-22:
"Access to those services requires state-issued IDs, but these people could not get IDs without birth certificates and could not get birth certificates without IDs."
Ah, bureaucracy.
Cohen said she contacted the city in 2015 to tell them their policy was different from those of all 50 state-run birth-certificate offices, including New York state's, but city officials were all, like, fugghedaboutit.
"Yo!" said Philadelphia lawyer and HAP board member Michael L. LiPuma, in our city's well-traveled vernacular, which I'm completely making up, but it's true in its essence: We need to stand up to the giant to our north.
So, HAP's lawsuit — with pro bono help of Philadelphia and New York City lawyers from NYC-based Dechert LLP — landed in September 2016 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Also named as plaintiffs were HAP clients Anthony Green and John Kagian, whose applications for birth certificates had been denied.
When I reached Kagian the other day, he was eyeing his long-awaited birth certificate, which one of the attorneys had hand-delivered to him.
Kagian, 57, didn't want to get too personal, but it was clear that the document was the key to changing a lot in his life.
"Today is a big day," he said. "It's not the end of the struggle, but it's a big step."
Over the years, Kagian said, life became more difficult as he lost more of his documents. But he hoped things were about to get a lot easier.
"I'm afraid to let it out of my sight," he said of his birth certificate. "I'm going to protect it, make sure it's secure, because I don't want to go through this roller coaster again."
HAP, which offers free legal advice, serves about 3,000 clients a year with a staff of 13 and 350 volunteers. Of those, 800 are requests for help to get birth certificates – often the first step for services.
Over the last four years, they've had 50-plus clients born in NYC for whom they couldn't get birth certificates, no matter how many times they tried to talk some sense and sanity into NYC. Multiply that by 50 states and you get an idea of how big of a deal this is.
The rule change is just a few weeks old, but already Cohen's been hearing from providers around the country.
"Hi Marsha," read one of the many emails, coincidentally from a lawyer in New York City. "Today, after 1½ years of struggling to find the proper documentation, we finally got the birth certificate for my client thanks to the new attorney protocol! My client is thrilled. Thank you so much for your organization's hard work with this lawsuit."
I wondered how the small operation would celebrate its win. I envisioned a few celebratory drinks, maybe a party.
Cohen brought me right back to earth.
"We celebrate," she said, "by cheering and then moving on to the next fight."
And that, NYC, is how we roll in Philly.

Scope of new sharing economy revealed
A new economic ecosystem is emerging. It may sound strange, but chances are you are already a part of the Sharing Economy: whether it's renting out that lawnmower you never use, catching a lift via an app instead of a taxi, or shirking the hotel to stay at the home of a local on your next holiday. Where once we bought and sold, today we exchange, share, barter, lend and give. These new forms of exchanges have been made possible by our increasing connectivity through the internet and social networks.
Researchers at the Melbourne Networked Society Institute have mapped the landscape of this emerging economy within Melbourne, a recognised Sharing City. The results can be found in their latest research paper which is both intricate and fascinating. The research results speak to a wider cultural shift taking place where our idea of ownership and our relationship with possession is changing.
The project delivered the first comprehensive listing of sharing networks active and available to people in Melbourne from data collected across eight months in 2016. There are the familiar big-name networks such as Uber and AirBnB, but there are also many surprises.
Warm showers, for example, is a social network that puts touring cyclists in touch with people who are happy to let them stop by their home for a shower and a rest. Happy Hubbub is a co-working space with childcare facilities, and our own Open Food Network is where people can access locally grown food as an alternative to corporate-controlled supply chains. The sharing economy stretches across physical, intellectual, and human resources.
What we see in the diverse nature of this sharing economy, from crowdfunding big projects to borrowing a designer handbag to match your shoes, is a wider cultural shift where our ideas of ownership and relationship with possessions is changing.
However, the waters are somewhat muddied over debate around the definition of 'sharing'. While small, local, and niche networks of exchange easily fit under the umbrella of a sharing economy, larger companies can cause confusion. Strangely, these are often the companies most associated with the sharing economy.
There are an increasing number of global, commercial companies that market themselves as part of the sharing economy while working with traditional business models. They offer online services with geolocation, automated payments, and review systems, but do they really qualify as 'sharing' when the goal is corporate profit?
Businesses and institutions are getting involved with mixed results. The emerging sharing economy presents opportunities for progress and the evolution of more connected, efficient cities with lower consumption. It could also become a new way of marketing old business models. The choice lies in the way we as citizens, communities, cities, industry, and government respond to the changes and opportunities offered by the sharing economy.
In their work of mapping the sharing economy, our researchers have helped develop a generalised conceptual understanding of the key characteristics of the sharing economy for Melbourne. This alongside their comprehensive data set around the networks available to people in Melbourne make the Mapping the Melbourne Sharing Economy paper vital reading for those wishing to work with or within this new economic ecosystem.
Other important areas of the sharing economy addressed in the paper are: regulatory concerns, labour rights, and access and equity.
You can download the full paper in our Publications section or join us for the launch event on Friday 10 March 2017 at the University of Melbourne.

Optus Launches Original Behind-the-scenes Music Series With Global Artists
Optus has created a new original music series called Closer to deliver intimate, behind-the-scenes footage of global artists in their most relaxed and honest environments.
Launched today, the Closer series shines light on the moments that would normally be reserved for a music artist's family members or best friends. These intimate videos bring Australians 'Closer' to the artists they love and each episode is a never-before-seen window into the real lives and true personalities of the global music stars.
The first episode in the series features international star, Anne-Marie, who is most famous for her multi-million selling summer anthem with Clean Bandit, Rockabye.
In Anne-Marie's video, she touches on her personal feelings, including her daily anxiety which she overcomes through music. The star goes from her relaxed environment at home to an intimate gig where she performs her latest single Heavy for the first time.
The launch of the series demonstrates Optus' commitment to bringing Australians closer to the music they love. Optus also provides its customers with data free music streaming of Google Play, iHeartRadio and Spotify.
Optus' Head of TV and Content, Corin Dimopoulous explained the move for Optus to create the series.
"We created this original series as another addition to Optus' music and entertainment portfolio. We're delivering engaging content that can be streamed on the move, which is what Australians are looking for more and more.
"The artists will be launching this content via their social media platforms. This is important to us as the behind-the-scenes episodes reflect how Australians use smartphones to create content and share their own lives," he said.

PIERRE - Former Republican Rep. Ted Klaudt could spend the rest of his life in prison after turning himself in to authorities Friday on felony charges that include eight counts of rape involving foster children and former legislative pages.
Five girls told authorities they were assaulted by Klaudt, court documents state, although charges filed Friday involve only two of the girls.
Four of the girls said they were accosted in Klaudt's hotel room in Pierre, where he stayed while serving in the South Dakota Legislature. Two of the girls were legislative pages when they were attacked, they told investigators.
He's accused of performing "ovary checks" and "breast exams" under the guise that he was helping young women donate their reproductive eggs, according to court records.

With the occasion of the recent Brera Design Days in Milan in the beginning of October, filled with events, exhibitions, workshops and meetings, I once again had the pleasure and the honor of enriching myself professionally and personally with experiences that I will never forget.
However, I want to focus on the event I attended on October 12th, on a sunny road called Via Tortona, in the splendid and eclectic location of Archiproducts Milano, where design is breathed day in day out.
I was there invited by Linvisibile, the company I've already talked about here. It was a gorgeous afternoon where between chatting, laughing and some serious conversations, along with some drinks and toasts, and I had the pleasure of interviewing two people that you definitely do not meet every day: an accountant who has become an engineer and an "almost engineer" who instead became a designer (among other things), as they like to jokingly say themselves.
The first is Antonio Menegatti, general manager of Linvisibile and the second is Matteo Ragni, creative director of the company
Antonio is a brilliant, ironic, extremely clever and sharp person who has come to design thanks to the Arab investment fund he works for. This fund has found itself in one of the highest design contents currently available on the market with the Linvisibile project.
Elegant in his dark suit, he said that he does not understand anything about design or creativity (which I doubt!), even if for him "creativity is something that has to do with the personality of people" to express themselves and their intimacy.
When I asked him which Linvisibile product was his favorite, he told me that he didn't have a favorite product at all, but that every one of them has a story behind it that he loves, here's the concept:
"A door like a moment of transition, transformation. I'm a big fan of change. Change is the sure and constant element in each of our lives. The threshold, the door, is change from one place to another, one entry to an exit or vice versa, and this for me is a beautiful concept."
Antonio, you play a role in a company like Linvisibile, that represents all that is associated with the concept Made in Italy, so you, coming from Made in Italy, what do you think of it?
Made in Italy is in my DNA, I'm Italian, and I think it's an amazing thing, but I wonder how long we will be able to carry it forward. Because I believe that the Made in Italy that we want to talk about is no longer new to these times, but part of something that has passed. The craftsmanship, the person who works with his own hands, is something that is happening less and less.
How can we save Made in Italy?
With humility! The humility to work with your hands and your heart, that is something that we are truly losing. People, the young people, are fixated on a working world where you must do something that you like, your passion.
Antonio, in a broad panorama of professionals, how did Linvisibile come into the hands of Matteo Ragni? Why him?
When I joined the company in 2013, Linvisibile was under the creative direction of Marco Viola, who had given a certain type of image to the brand, which remained intact until the end of 2014. But we needed radical renewal, it was necessary to go and find someone who could capture the new Linvisibile taste. Without taking anything away from Marco, he needed another person, another hand, another head. Among the professionals we have taken into consideration, Matteo has impressed us for his pragmatic approach, his cheerfulness and his informality, but elegance at the same time.
So can you say it was the right choice?
Absolutely and our new catalogue is undoubtedly one of the best in our collaboration.
So Linvisibile has the image you dreamed it would have today, is that correct?
Well really all you have to know is that, Linvisibile before Matteo came along was "L' Invisibile" (ed. The Invisible in english) with the apostrophe, and now it is all attached, Linvisibile. Matteo removed the apostrophe. It is absolutely brilliant, it was a bullseye hit, and we are very happy.
What are your projects for the near future?
Matteo, as you know, is among other things a product designer, so I can tell you now that we are developing something together, a product. Something very amazing is being created and it reflects even further the elegance of Matteo's style along with Linvisibile. We will probably present it next year.
Matteo Ragni, from the class of 1972, is one of the most prominent designers in the international scene at the head of the design studio, also the winner of two Compasso d'Oro awards. He is an interesting person, with a simple and peaceful attitude, from his gentle ways can be seen great professionalism.
What do you do for Linvisibile? What is your job?
I listen. The art director is kind of a psychologist, not only for entrepreneurs but for the entire company. It is important to understand where a reality comes from, to understand its history and at what point they want to arrive at. We share common goals. Art helps the entrepreneur and the company look a bit beyond the daily activity. We help them to dream a little more.
What was the first thing you did with Linvisibile?
We started off with brand rebranding. As Antonio said, first Linvisibile was written with an apostrophe. We did a very subtle but very powerful operation: we took away this apostrophe and it made the company change from an adjective to a noun. And it has become a main character in the product sector. It has changed its position in the market. Linvisibile is an international brand oriented towards customization. Even the company is a design partner, it is no longer just a company that sells doors.
So what was the second step?
Secondly, once the rebranding was over, we were involved with the international designer Giulio Cappellini, who designed two door systems for us last April at the Salone del Mobile.
Matteo, what did you see in Linvisibile that won you over, who made you decide to take part in a collaboration?
Behind the companies there are people, the human factor for me is crucial and there are times when there are powerful synergies and alchemies, between an entrepreneur and a designer, as in this case. You know, I'm a bit of a romantic and I like to think of great design masters like Magistretti, Castiglioni, Giò Ponti, who I think is the greatest art director of all time, who always worked with businessmen.
Magistretti said that design is like making love, there must be at least two people
I say 'at least' in the sense that today there is also marketing and so it has become a bit more extroverted.
What is design for you?
Design is a science but it is also poetry and emotion. So in the projects we try to develop with the companies, we put in a lot of the human factor. We made a video for Linvisibile last year, where you can barely see a door. To do this you need to meet companies like Linvisibile. Even the catalogue we have created is no longer an abacus of products but a range of proposals and influences that can also help and inspire designers.
Meeting two professionals like Antonio and Matteo is a unique opportunity for those who do my job. I am happy to share these meetings and interviews with you. Now let's keep our eyes out this coming year: a new product designed by Matteo Ragni for Linvisibile is coming out! #staytuned

It's a desktop computer with a 1600x1200 display attached, which Windows XP
operates at 1600x1200. But Xorg.0.log shows the message, 'Mode "1600x1200" is
larger than BIOS programmed panel size of 1280 x 1024. Removing.' The greatest
attainable resolution with the nv driver seems to be 1280x1024, which is fuzzy
on the LCD.
The monitor is a Dell 2001FP (Digital). The video card is an NVidia GeForce
6800. The computer is a Dell Dimension 8400.
Created attachment 3130 [details]
Xorg.0.log shows 1600x1200 mode settings and the error message
Created attachment 3131 [details]
I'm seeing basically the same bug but for me the details are slightly different.
If I connect the monitor with the analog cable it works OK, but skewed about 10
or 20 pixels to the right. I can fix that by adjusting the settings on the
monitor, but then its offby the same amount in the other direction if I boot
into windows. If I use the digital cable the screen is centred correctly but in
Linux the resolution is set to 1024x768...the monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster
910t) has a resolution of 1280x1024. If I use the analog cable I can set the
resolution to 1280x1024 and the resolution is perfect but off centre. If I use
the digital cable the Xorg.0.log says
(II) NV(0): Mode "1280x1024" is larger than BIOS programmed panel size of 1024 x
768. Removing.
I've looked through the BIOS and there is no setting for the monitor. It's
annoying that the digital cable is there and should be the right way to connect
the monitor, but I can't use it because of a bug in the nv driver.
I basically have the same situation. Using Dell 2000FP and Nvidia GeForce FX
5700LE. The close "nvidia" drivers works fine. I'm kinda in a Catch-22. The
"nvidia" driver will support my monitor's native resolution, but does not
support the "Rotate" option. The "nv" driver supports the "Rotate" option, but
will only support up to 1280x1024 on my monitor...
Same thing here, with a Fujitsu-Siemens P20-2. The monitor is detected as follows:
(--) NV(0): DDC detected a DFP:
(II) NV(0): Manufacturer: FUS Model: 555 Serial#: 0
(II) NV(0): Year: 2005 Week: 42
(II) NV(0): EDID Version: 1.3
(II) NV(0): Digital Display Input
(II) NV(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 41 vert.: 31
(II) NV(0): Gamma: 2.20
(II) NV(0): DPMS capabilities: Off; RGB/Color Display
(II) NV(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode
(II) NV(0): redX: 0.641 redY: 0.350 greenX: 0.287 greenY: 0.595
(II) NV(0): blueX: 0.142 blueY: 0.070 whiteX: 0.313 whiteY: 0.329
(II) NV(0): Supported VESA Video Modes:
(II) NV(0): 720x400@70Hz
(II) NV(0): 640x480@60Hz
(II) NV(0): 640x480@75Hz
(II) NV(0): 800x600@60Hz
(II) NV(0): 800x600@75Hz
(II) NV(0): 1024x768@60Hz
(II) NV(0): 1024x768@75Hz
(II) NV(0): 1280x1024@75Hz
but, according to the specs, it can do 1600x1200@75Hz.
This behaviour is still present in X11R6.9
The closed source driver from NVIDIA recognises the EDID information for
1600x1200@75Hz from the Fujitsu-Siemens P20-2 properly...
Same here with a brand new Samsung Syncmaster 204-Ts and a Nvidia Geforce4
MX440 on SuSE 10.0 (Xorg 6.8.2). 'nv' recognizes the panel size as 1280x1024,
but it's 1600x1200. The 'nvidia' binary driver works after applying a
workaround (it detected a wrong maximum pixel frequency).
I'm suffering from this bug with xorg v7.0 in the Fedora Core v5 test releases.
The LCD is a Dell 2001FP (Digital). The video card is an NVidia GeForce
6800GT (x2 in SLI). The LCD can do 1600x1200 but with vesa or the nv driver the
max Xorg will do is 1280x1024.
Xorg.0.log shows the message, 'Mode "1600x1200" is larger than BIOS programmed
panel size of 1280 x 1024. Removing.'
Is there anything I can do to help the resolution along?
I'm seeing the same problem. I just installed Fedora Core 5 test 3 on an old
SGI 330 with an nVidia NV10GL [Quadro] video card hooked up to a Dell 2005FPW
flat panel monitor (native resolution: 1680x1050) via a DVI connection. The
"nv" driver detects the native resolution of the monitor to be 720x400, and
there doesn't appear to be any option for overriding that value, so that's the
only resolution I can successfully run at.
The "nv" driver currently can't change the BIOS-programmed display timings.
Unfortunately, this is not something that we can fix right now.
(In reply to comment #11)
> The "nv" driver currently can't change the BIOS-programmed display timings.
> Unfortunately, this is not something that we can fix right now.
How about seeing how the binary only Nvidia driver handles this problem and
implement the fix in the "nv" driver as well.
There shouldn't be any super secret competitive advantage IP in that part of the
I'm a paying Nvidia customer with over $1,200 in cards (two systems with SLI).
I'd greatly appreciate it.

- Intimate Barcelona experience, with only 15 rooms
- Access to the 1500-foot spa & Wi-Fi is free for guests

ABaC started life as a well-regarded restaurant in Barcelona's fashionable Carrer Rec district.

How far it has come.
"'Restaurant with rooms' doesn't do it justice", says Harper's Bazaar, and yet Restaurant ABaC continues to be the big draw. It's called "one of the city's best" by Lonely Planet, with the youngest chef in Spain ever to win a Michelin star running the kitchen (it now holds two). Jordi Cruz's menu is made up of avant-garde combinations such as Galician lobster cooked in coral juice with foie gras. There is also a futuristic basement bar and a wine cellar with more than 800 labels available.
If you can drag yourself away, entrance to the lovely and large on-site Elemis spa is complimentary for guests (treatments are extra). There's a large Jacuzzi with underwater recliners, a cold pool, a Hammam and heated sunbeds to relax on. The nearby Parc Güell is a 15-minute walk and Plaza Catalunya is 10 minutes away by taxi.
The bedrooms have a touch of the futuristic about them, with high-tech lighting that responds as you move, a Jacuzzi bath and internet Bang & Olufsen TVs. Wi-Fi is also free. It is worth upgrading to a Superior Room for use of a large terrace, where lunch or dinner can be served.

State education policies are rooted in the day-to-day operations of schools and the students that learn and grow in them. This is why Commissioner McQueen tasked each member of the department's 20-person leadership team to go back to high school for a day and shadow a student. Individual members of the leadership team visited high schools in every setting: rural, urban, suburban, and everywhere in between.
By Mike Herrmann, Executive Director of Conditions for Learning
When the commissioner announced that every member of the senior leadership team would be shadowing a high school student for a day, I was torn between curiosity and anxiety. Curious about what I would find. Anxious about being a student again, even if only for the day. After all, school is a social experience, and I would be the ultimate outsider.
On the big day, I walk into the office and meet the principal. He introduces me to Nathan, my host student for the day, and we are off to our first class.
Nathan and I walk into class late. A room full of questioning eyes, lots of whispers. Who's the old man with Nathan? We sit down in the middle of the room and class begins. The teacher refers the class to the objectives for this lesson which are posted on the board, provides a brief lecture, and then passes out a worksheet. The assignment requires us to think about the content and develop a written summary/response. The class grudgingly cooperates. I'm not sensing much excitement.
Next, we head to bridge math, an online, self-directed course conducted in partnership with Nashville State Community College. A teacher is in the room and available to answer questions, but we are essentially on our own. There's a chart in the room showing everyone's progress, and Nathan is very close to completion. He's not in a hurry to finish because he's afraid that he will be given an additional assignment or placed somewhere else if he finishes early. Looking around the room, it appears like he might not be the only one taking his time.
Nathan has to leave school early, so I am assigned another student. Keisha, who is a senior like Nathan. We again arrive late for class (I swear I was never late as a high school student). The class is in a circle, I'm hardly noticed, and I initially have a difficult time figuring out who the teacher is because students are leading the conversation. The discussion is rich, and everyone seems engaged.
As my day wraps up, I'm struck by the range of classroom experiences on the same day in the same building. It seems like there are two sides to this equation. The teacher and the student. As a state and as a department, we've invested heavily in improving the quality of instruction in Tennessee schools, and our teachers have risen to every challenge.
But, we also need to focus on the other side – the individuals coming into our schools everyday, ready (or not) to learn. Those students in the final class were engaged. They were motivated. You could sense that they were excited about their future and believed that school was helping them get there. How do we foster that hope, enthusiasm, and belonging in every student in every classroom?
The answer is not always a new program or requirement. Schools have lots to do already. Maybe the most important step is remembering that anytime we are thinking about improving our schools, we are thinking about interacting and growing individuals with unique needs.
