Cristal Roederer 1993, Champagne
A great Champagne, savoured at its zenith. It was excellent with duck foie gras.
Montrachet, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 1987, Bourgogne
Tasting it 'blind' at the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti was one of the best 'wine moments' of my life.
Gewurztraminer Mambourg Sélection de Grains Nobles, Domaine Weinbach 2005, Alsace
Of uncommon finesse and complexity. When the bottle was finished, we all bemoaned "3Already ?!".
Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2002, Bordeaux
2002, a vintage which passed unnoticed in the Bordeaux region. But not this bottle !
Château Talbot 1959, Bordeaux
Few wines can boast that they age well. Talbot can.
Faustino Gran Reserva 1964, Rioja
As with people, wrinkles favour some wines more than others. This Rioja willingly accepts its age.

A wine in the image of its illustrious producer, Hubert de Montille : sparkling and lively, which true Burgundy enthusiasts will understand.
Romanée StVivant, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2004, Bourgogne
The day we tasted this wine, the others (themselves very worthy) received scant attention !

In early March 2018, Bob Walker, our lovely Huskador Dexter and myself hit the road in style with our camper, the sled and multiple pairs of skis. Direction? Alaska.
It feels like even a full month spent at the "Last Frontier" was only enough to get our feet wet. There are so many stories and side adventures built into this one journey that I'll be cherishing for a lifetime. But if I had to pick one of the highlights, it would be the day of the Dimond. After spending a full week nested at Thompson Pass, couloir paradise of Alaska, skiing an average of 3 chutes/day & getting chased by helicopters full of eager skiers, we started getting a craving to move camp.
With one more day left of perfect weather before taking the ferry to Whittier, we really wanted to pick a perfect objective. From the first day I walked on Small Glacier, I remember being very impressed and intimidated by Mount Dimond. It's North West facing couloirs go from entry level chute skiing to very steep with everything in between.
Given the stability, the weather and the knowledge we now had of the area, we decided to go for the summit. We jumped on our gasoline pony all the way to the toe of the glacier and carried on the climb on skis. While approaching the headwall, we were contemplating options to get to the ultimate goal. This is where we saw this steep, narrow, twisted line, leading directly to a large hanging snowfield, which linked to the summit.
The slope looked quite steep but certainly doable. We started to make a zipper line across the fan just to test the snow and switched to bootpacking very soon after the choke. Still in the shade, every step, I was building more and more confidence in our decision-making. We approached the steepest section of the chute going over a small snow covered waterfall. There again, all was pointing in the direction of the summit.
As we gained the top of the chute, the sun was starting to shine on the large steep snowfield. The mountains around us were just glowing. The "Stairway" zone we skied all week looked now so small from up where we were. A narrow ridge walk and a bit of ice scrambling brought us to the small summit of Mount Dimond. I took a minute to take in the moment even if I could barely contain my excitement knowing what was ahead.
We carefully switched gear on the ridge and one after the other we proceeded to test the slope. With perfect timing and coastal snowpack, all lights turned green. I skied first on the large steep hanging field as my heart was pounding with joy and excitement. The snow was ridiculously soft and sparkling under the sunlight.
We regrouped before heading into the narrow chute just as a heli flew over us. I think they may have been envious of our location even if we worked hard all morning to get there. Descending into the couloir, the snow was holding very well although some serious sluff management was required.
With punched legs, we skied the fan making larger turns all the way to the flat glacier.
As the sun was starting to come down, we decided to skip across the glacier and climb up one of the Stairway couloirs to finish the day. The line was longer than anticipated… or maybe the fatigue from the Dimond was starting to hit in my legs? Nevertheless, we gained the col as the light was slightly turning pink, and we enjoyed a full view of the turns we made on the steep couloir just a few hours earlier.
The North East Stairway couloir skied quite well all the way to the toe of the glacier. While Bob played around on the "snowmachine" in the meadows, I skied great white velvet all the way to the road.
Alaskan beer in hand, we sat quietly for a few minutes in front of the fireplace in the camper with a large smile and a deep feeling of satisfaction. It was then okay to hit the road and continue our journey. This is exactly what I had hoped Alaska would be.

Thursday brought about another strong day of gains in the grain market. Soybeans continue to hold well over the $10 mark. Looking at a continuous chart that puts soybeans back towards highs not seen since early 2018 before the US China trade war kicked off. Kyle Bumsted with Allendale Inc. believes this now give farmers a unique opportunity to go back and visit their marketing strategy. 2019 has been a year that farmers have seen plenty of government payments, but now the market seems to be giving opportunity to market at a profitable level.
Bumsted also gives strong insight into why the feeder cattle corn spread may be nearing it's useful end. Rather feeders are looking at the cash difference between the fats getting on the truck and the lightweights coming off the truck. Finally there is the lean hog market that really caught fire on Thursday. Could it be starting to get top heavy or is there more room to go higher?

Vancouver city council took the unusual step Tuesday of ordering an expedited assessment of the Waldorf Hotel to determine if the 63-year-old building deserves protection as a heritage landmark.
The assessment means the popular eastside Tiki bar and restaurant cannot be demolished or significantly altered for a period of 120 days.
A final decision by council on heritage designation is expected in mid-May, pending the findings of a "statement of significance" that will evaluate everything from the Waldorf's architecture and design to the role it has played in the city's history and, more recently, as an arts and culture venue.
Should it be approved, a heritage designation could limit development options on the property.
Concern over the future of the Waldorf Hotel exploded into public consciousness late last week after news the property had been sold to the condo development firm Solterra and Waldorf Productions, the company leasing the hotel, would be shutting down operations as of Jan. 20.
The property formally changes hands from its current owner, Marko Puharich, in September.
The pending closure of the Waldorf sparked widespread outrage among Vancouver residents who have since demanded the space be retained as a vital cultural hub for new and established artists.
A rally Sunday drew support from hundreds of people, including Vancouver Opera director Jim Wright, Vancouver Art Gallery director Kathleen Bartels, multimedia artist Paul Wong and photographer Ian Wallace.
An online petition, meanwhile, has so far attracted more than 17,300 signatures.
Mayor Gregor Robertson was also quick to voice his support for the hotel as a "significant cultural amenity and a major neighbourhood asset," instructing city staff to look into ways to preserve the 1947 building.
City manager Penny Ballem returned Tuesday to council with the heritage assessment recommendation, a rarely used tool that gives the city the ability to temporarily freeze development or demolition activity on a privately owned property.
Ballem said council has ordered similar assessments be conducted on potential heritage sites in the past, most recently to prevent the circa-1913 York Theatre on Commercial Drive from being torn down to make way for a townhouse development.
"This is not something we throw around on a whim," she said.
And while the Waldorf is not on the heritage register, Ballem said it has been "on the radar" as a longtime cultural hub that has spanned generations.
The recommendation passed unanimously.
"We need to take every step we can as a council to ensure we have a thriving arts and cultural scene in the city," Robertson said.
Puharich said he was frustrated by council's vote, noting there has never been any intention by his family or Solterra to demolish the Waldorf.
He said past efforts by his family, which has owned the hotel for decades, to have items of value, including original Polynesian-themed artworks dating to the 1950s, declared of heritage value were ignored by the city.
He said he intends to take over operations at the hotel after Waldorf Productions has vacated the space, and expects the lounge to reopen after some renovation work.
"Before I give it up to the new owners, I have some pride in making sure that it is clean and running," he said.
Puharich said unionized staff members employed at the hotel will be given the opportunity to remain in their jobs.
Waldorf Productions had employed about 60 people, including those who are not unionized.
Tom Anselmi, arts and entertainment director with Waldorf Productions, said the business couldn't continue operating at the Waldorf without a long-term commitment from Solterra to extend their lease.
"There are artists, entertainers and all sorts of people who have bought plane tickets, and we cannot function on a week-to-week lease," he said.
Anselmi said he is eager to talk with the city about potentially moving the arts-and-culture branch of the business to another venue.
"This really is a project that was about trying to make Vancouver better," he said.
A representative of Solterra did not return The Sun's phone call by deadline.
The Waldorf property is zoned for industrial use. Brian Jackson, the city's senior planner, said any rezoning application to allow for residential use would likely not be considered for at least two years.

Pollinator Garden
Originally there was a Butterfly Garden in part of this area on the north side of the Myrick Center. As it had mostly gone to weed and contained several non-native species, we decided to replant it. We also took into consideration the issue of bees...not only that we need to plant species that support the bees, but also we need the bees to support us. There is also an active bee hive used for educational purposes,inside the building, so we are incorporating bees, along with all other pollinators, in the requirements of the layout, structures and plants in our garden.
We have a sketch of the layout. We are determining what plants we need, and how we can obtain those we do not have. The project will start this winter, with plants started from seed. (new adventure) Then, when we can work the ground, we do the layout and hardscaping, followed by the first planting as early as we can get in. A nice, warm, short winter would be nice.
In 2016, we continue to add to the Pollinator and Rain Gardens and also work to control invasives and weeds. The gardens are alive with many different kinds of pollinators including many types of bees, butterflies and other insects.

Engineering Students Selected to Present at PA State Capitol
Two College of Engineering students — Anthony Trezza and Nathan Deffenbaugh — will present their research at the 12th Annual Undergraduate Research at the Capitol—Pennsylvania Poster Conference in Harrisburg on Tuesday, March 11, 2014.
Nathan Deffenbaugh, biomedical engineering, will present his research project titled High Resolution Tracking of Single-molecule Kinesin Motor Proteins by TIRF Microscopy. Kinesins are intracellular molecular motors and play a critical role in mitotic spindle formation during cell division. Their dysfunction has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's and ALS. Additionally, the role of kinesins in mitotic spindle formation makes a relevant target for anti-cancer therapies aiming to inhibit cancer cell division and proliferation. Deffenbaugh's research uses total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy to image individual kinesin proteins, allowing discovery of different kinesin protein's molecular mechanisms, which is critical for understanding their diverse cellular roles.
Deffenbaugh is supervised by Dr. William O. Hancock, professor of biomedical engineering.
Anthony Trezza, mechanical engineering, will present Simultaneous Localization and Mapping of Indoor Robots Using Permanent Magnetic Fields. This research is prototyping the use of low-cost, highly sensitive magnetometer technology to develop low-cost guidance systems for wheelchairs with the intent to assist amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, often known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) patients maintain mobility. As stated in Trezza's submission, there have been long-standing dreams of using robots to provide extra functionality, care, and comfort to our living environments, offices, factories, and warehouses. But this dream is thwarted by the difficulty of a robot to know its position indoors. GPS signals cannot be reliably measured inside buildings; lighting conditions are highly variable; and modifications to the built environment for robot localization can be expensive and intrusive.
Trezza is supervised by Dr. Sean Brennan, associate professor of mechanical engineering.
The event serves as a unique opportunity for undergraduate students enrolled in Pennsylvania's colleges and universities to showcase their research projects to an audience of Pennsylvania legislators. Participants spend the day in the Pennsylvania Capitol Building, share experiences and ideas with counterparts from other schools, and present research posters.
The Office of Undergraduate Education coordinates Penn State's participation in the event.Read More

Paris Men's Fashion Week S/S 2019 Part 3
Achtung's seasonal review on Paris's greatest fashion moments: Dior Homme
Dior Homme S/S 2019
That's the beauty of fashion, nothing ever happens as predicted. When it was clear that Kim Jones was leaving Louis Vuitton as men's designer, everyone talked about him joining Versace or Burberry. And nobody expected him to remain in the LVMH stable. But that's exactly what happened, he was appointed as new head designer at Dior Homme while incumbent Kris van Assche was shifted to Berluti. What does that tell us? Top LVMH brass moved the tailor Van Assche to the brand in need of a modern suiting idea and Jones to the brand in need of a new more commercial perspective for men's. Not to say that van Assche didn't do a good job, but his atelier made nearly couture quality collections but they never inspired the street. Jones at Vuitton and his collaborations with Supreme and other street wear heroes plus his sportswear runway design affinity, made him the perfect candidate to go to a house like Dior which wants to grow. Jones can stay within high fashion perimeters and can still be his festival culture self.
What's new?
Kim Jones is a very good designer. And his strength is sophisticated sportswear with a nod to tailoring. Dior Homme under Slimane and van Assche has been about experimentations on the perfect tuxedo cut. Today Jones made clear that Dior Homme is no longer about variations of formal wear but daywear.
The few brown and second hand looking brown leather bombers looked super fresh.
The tailoring looked like what?
Jones decided to bring his new sportswear driven vision at full speed but still wanted to express a classic message. So some of his jackets had only one button and were single breasted. But to add new dimensions, he cleverly placed the button at the extreme right of the torso to display his fabrics and the cut.
Why this will work?
Dior wants to grow and needs iconic but sellable clothes. Jones delivered today. His vision of Dior is more inclusive and much younger than before.

Have you ever heard of that? Not me. We accidentaly got informed about it through two other bikers we met at Lake Ohrid. We drove through Meteora on our way to our final european destination Thessaloniki, so we decided to visit it.
Meteora is known for it's monasteries, built on, at or in the hills, so that you think it belongs together.
So we wanted to walk to one of the monasteries, starting at our campsite. Google Maps said, it will take about one hour and so did the plan at the campsite. If we had found the right way immediately, this would have fitted. But first we took the wrong way and the wrong direction.
With the help of the map we got at the campsite, Google Maps an the GPS we tried to find the right direction. After three hour we reached the monastery we had chosen.
On our way we had a nice view at the nature and the special type of hills.
Near the monastery the map was quite inaccurate and the mobile phones couldn't help us either, so we had to navigate through the cardinal directions and the position of the monastery, which we could see above the trees.
Then the pathes turned narrow and we didn't really know, which of them were the official ones and which of them were just dirt tracks.
One of the paths we took definitely was a dirt path. In fact one, that ended in front of a wall with a fence on it. Inside the wall there was a round ground and on the other side we expected the road leading to the monastery.
As it was not possible to walk beside the wall, we climbed on it an layawayd on the fence.
Later, as we stood at the monastery, we recognized that you have a really good view at exactly that fence. But seemed that nobody has been watching us.
You also could do this whole thing very easy, by visiting the monastery by car or bus, what will take about ten minutes. But in this case you probably won't be proud, for finally making it there.
Inside the monastery itself was not as exciting as outside as it is just a small building with an even smaller chapel inside. You have to pay for admission and as a woman, you have to put on one of the wrap-around skirts, if you want to enter it.

Project Cars is Ticketed with a Delay Once More
Slightly Mad Studios' racer Project Cars will miss its April 2nd release date. This makes the third time the release of the game has been pushed back.
Project Cars was first supposed to release in November of last year, but was then delayed until March of this year. It was delayed once again from March to April. Today we learn that it has been delayed from April to May – mid May to be exact. Free content will be released for the game post launch as a consolation for these ongoing delays.
Here's hoping that May sticks.

The Goomy Way: A Talk With Let's Not and Say We Did
April 27th, 2011
When LL Cool J emphatically raps "Don't call it a comeback!" on his song "Mama Said Knock You Out", he was not only issuing a warning to the haters who had listed his career as DOA, but throwing down the gauntlet for any band or solo artist whose career lasts longer than the allotted 15 minutes most are allowed. Like life, musical careers have their ups and downs. Sometimes an artist's creativity peaks and they are appreciated, other times it does and they are ignored, and in some cases it abandons them all together. That is the roller coaster nature of creative pursuits. The trick is to weather it all and persevere, because all true art is a journey.
Let's Not and Say We Did (LN&SWD) is one band that has not only mastered that trick, but also embraced the journey. With a career that stretches over 30 years, LN&SWD have certainly had their share of ups and downs. The band's three members met in high school and have been making music together ever since. They were critics darlings in the 80's, ignored in the 90's, and sanctified with cult status in the aughts, but its the recent re-release of some of their earliest recordings that has spurred a resurgence in the band's popularity and catapulted them to heights they've never experienced before. So what do they think of the seemingly never ending thrill ride that is their career? We sat down with them at the Hawkins Springs, KY headquarters of their record label, Heiroglyph Records, to find out.
Figment News: You've been together as a group for over 30 years. To what do you owe your longevity?
Lambert Rice "Thrice" Knightley: I think it's because we haven't chased musical fads or really even fit neatly into one musical style. To be honest, when we first started out, we weren't even all that aware of what was going on in music. We just played whatever we wanted whenever we wanted, and when you enjoy what you do, that's when you're going to be your best — and most successful, if you're lucky.
Stella Delcielo: Plus we've been friends — best friends, really — for a lo-o-o-o-ong time! We don't all live in the same town anymore, and the time we do get to spend together is precious, so we spend it having fun. And for us, making music together is as much fun as shooting a game of horse or hanging out and drinking a beer with your buddies would be for some.
FN: Is it hard to maintain your passion for the old material after all these years?
Dustin "Dusty" Rainwater: No, not at all! A lot of the old stuff was inspired by something one of us had done or some in-joke that we all shared. When we were deciding on what old material to include in our set for our tour this summer, we'd start to play a song and then start reminiscing: "Do you remember the time Thrice freaked out on the Ferris wheel?" or "Do you remember that time in the high school band room when Stella yelled — at the top of her lungs — 'What's mastur–'"
Stella: Yes, we ALL remember that. The whole school remembers… Of course, you NEVER did anything embarrassing, Dusty…
Dusty: NEXT QUESTION, PLEASE!
FN: Speaking of your older material, you've been reissuing your back catalog through your new label Heiroglyph Records. What was the genesis of this reissue project?
Stella: Some of our old recordings had been unavailable for years, so we came up with the idea of starting our own record label to release our new material and make our old stuff available for all our fans. We've slowly been buying back the rights to our old recordings and releasing them on Heiroglyph.
Thrice: Do either of you remember why we misspelled "Hieroglyph?" I'm sure we had a good reason at the time…
Dusty: I thought it was some kind of tax dodge.
Stella: "No, that was when we claimed buying your sister a rabbit was a work expense."
FN: Your early records like "My Science Project Disaster" and "Mashed Potatoes & Groovy" charted back in the 80's, but are selling even better now. Why the renewed interest?
Thrice: I think there is certainly a nostalgia component, but I honestly think that stuff doesn't sound like it was recorded in the 80's. Who else back then put out a record where all the percussion was played on pots and pans and hair combs?
Those records could have been released last week. That's an advantage of not paying attention to musical trends: the music seems timeless. I hope that doesn't sound arrogant — I just mean that, for better or worse, we did things our own way.
FN: In the 80's you college radio darlings and a working band that toured on a national level. What happened in the 90's? Were those lost years?
Dusty: Our musical output slowed way down, that's for sure. People asked us if we broke up, but the truth is, we just got involved in other things and didn't find time to record as much. Stella's acting career took off, and Thrice went to graduate school…
Thrice: And Dusty fell down that mine shaft and wasn't pulled out for two years… I'm still not clear on why it took so long to get you out… What were you doing there??
Dusty: It was lonely down there… Let's talk about something else, shall we?
FN: But your band is far from a nostalgia act, you're working on new material as well right?
Stella: Definitely! We've got lots of stuff in the pipeline. Keep watching Figment for details!
FN: Any plans to tour?
Dusty: We have plans for a tour this summer. I think you'll hear more about it in the coming weeks.
FN: You just re-released your 1987 album "Out of the Picture", which is a unique album to say the least. Can you tell us a little about the album and what inspired it?
Thrice: Just because we were known for putting out records that were fun and even kind of odd, some writer for Rolling Stone once called us "the only light-weight band that matters." While it was good to be called a band that mattered, we bristled at being called "light-weight." So we really challenged ourselves with our next album, Out of the Picture. Stella had been reading a lot of William S. Burroughs, and Dusty had been dying to put his own spin on the Doors' "Break On Through." Plus, I had always liked the idea of someone stepping into a mirror or out of a painting. Somehow it all just clicked, and that record has been one of our most popular ones ever since.
FN: Stella, I understand you that you are the primary designer of all of the band's album covers, is that true?
Stella: Well, I think it's mostly Thrice and me. One thing we do is, if someone has a really good idea for a cover, that person mocks up that cover, and the other two will make suggestions that might improve the artwork or composition. Only if we all agree on a cover idea is it used, but, I can't think of a single instance where anyone has said no to a cover. We are so alike in our humor and our tastes, it seems that whatever ideas we do come up with, the whole band is like "Yeah!". I think so far in the re-issues, the only cover that can be attributed to me is "Merry Stinkin' Christmas." There are some upcoming ones, such as In Glass Houses, and the double release of new material, and some more that were my ideas, but so far most of the work you have seen is that of Thrice.
Thrice: However, Stella did design our logo which is on nearly every album.
FN: Your sound is eclectic to say the least, with forays into electronic, country and even punk. How would you describe your sound?
Dusty: I don't know. I think we just try to do stuff that people haven't heard or seen before, whether it's unusual subject matter, or unconventional composition techniques or fun cover art.
Stella: Goomy. That describes our music best. It's our own made up word, and it is difficult to tell you what it means. It has its roots in the Beverly Hillbillies. Granny said "some goomer" was coming to see them or some such. And we took that word and ran with it, and it evolved to mean silly, fun, creative, having a good time and a bunch of other things all rolled into one. When we all go out together, we say we are going gooming. Charlie Sheen's recent outbursts — that's goomy. The time we went through the drive thru at DQ and the girl inside didn't believe I was a real customer and thought I was a coworker and called me a bunch of foul names, then fell to her knees behind the window when we pulled up to get my milkshake and she realized we were real customers — that's goomy. So, our music is goomy.
FN: Do you think that the resurgence of the indie rock scene has made it easier for a band like yours to find a new audience?
Stella: Perhaps so, but people are nostalgic creatures and they want to see what they have missed. So basically, I guess the answer is yes, because that is what resurgence is all about. Finding out what you have missed and liking it.
Thrice: Plus the Internet means you can get your music to a much wider audience without depending on some radio programmer. But honestly, whatever the reason for us finding a new audience, we are grateful. It's very satisfying to know that people still find our music worth listening to, whether it's the old stuff or the new stuff.
FN: Switching gears a bit, I've got to ask you about "Merry Stinkin' Christmas" your 1985 Christmas concept album of sorts. What's the story behind that album and in particular the song "You Should Just Be Thankful That Dog Crap Is Too Hard To Wrap"?
Thrice: I can tell you about the song, but Stella was the real mover and shaker behind that album. Anyway, when I was eight years old, my older brother gave me a box of toenail clippings for Christmas and told me "You should just be thankful…blah blah blah…" It turned out that the real gift was the idea for that song! Stella and Dusty had their own memorable Christmas stories with their families, too!
FN: What do your parents think about that record? I'm sure it's a big yuletide favorite in the Knightly, Delcielo and Rainwater homes huh?
Stella: You bet! As the three of us are similar in our sense of humor, our families are also similar in their senses of humor. Basically we are a bunch of weirdos who were raised by super-weirdos. Merry Stinkin' Christmas is the epitome of our particular sense of humor, and though from the outside it looks like the remembrances of kids who came up in perhaps some unfeeling households, it isn't. The statements in those song titles…you have to be VERY sure of your family's love, very sure that the person you are making the statement to KNOWS, without question, that you love them, or…well the joke is lost. Things along these lines were said in each of our households, but we always knew that despite the seeming harshness of your mom's statement of, "Relax Santa Won't Get Here Before I Finish This Cigarette", underneath she was really saying, "Don't worry Honey, I won't let Santa pass you by. If he did I would hunt him down and bring him back here!"
FN: So you're all from Kentucky right? Any plans to jam with My Morning Jacket?
Dusty: You know, when they were just starting out in the late 90's they opened for us at a concert in Louisville. They're great guys, but mostly we jam with bands from western Kentucky where we're from — Government Cheese and Straydaway especially have been good friends of ours.
FN: With 3 decades under your belt, what do you have planned for your 4th?
Thrice: I think we'll just keep challenging ourselves and our fans and having fun in the process.
Stella: And maybe even win a Figgie!

Interesting interview. This group really seems to work well together and they're actually quite funny. Up until now, my favorite release is "Out of the Picture"

Timeless is absolutely the right description for LNaSWD's music. The older material stands up and sits beautifully next to the new stuff. I had a couple albums back in the 80's. My college roommate turned me on to them. It's great to be able to revive my collection with the reissues as my vinyl is pretty beat up. This is a challenging band that may not appeal to the lowest common denominator, but for anyone willing to step out of the binds of mediocrity, Let's Not And Say We Did are a shining example of experimental yet accessible greatness!

Science and technology play a central role in our modern world. With the potential to transform the way we live, work, and govern, these fields pose novel dilemmas for political and policy discussion. For example, how should decision-makers contend with competing understandings of the scientific evidence regarding climate change? In what way should we incorporate ethical and social concerns into the regulatory infrastructures for innovations such as biotechnology and nanotechnology?
The Ford School's Science, Technology, and Public Policy (STPP) program brings together an interdisciplinary cohort of faculty and students from across the University of Michigan to confront these types of questions, seeking to improve understanding, analysis, and intervention in science and technology policymaking. It approaches these issues from two perspectives:
- Science and Technology for Policy: How science and technology are used to develop and affect public policies in a wide range of domains such as national security, public health, economic competitiveness, and environmental sustainability.
- Policy for Science and Technology: How policies are developed to promote beneficial scientific and technological development at the international, national, state, and local levels, such as the allocation of research funding and regulation of new research and technologies.
Launched in Fall 2006, STPP is a university-wide education and research program comprised of three separate components:
- In the Graduate Certificate Program, graduate students from across the University analyze the role of science and technology in the policymaking process, gain experience writing for policymakers, and explore the political and policy landscape of areas such as biotechnology, information technology, energy, and others.
- The Lecture Series brings scholars and practitioners from a range of backgrounds to campus to discuss major issues in science and technology policy, providing a forum for the STPP community to network with people from departments across campus and beyond.
Until 2011 Ford School hosted a postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Dow foundation. STPP still offers non-stipendiary pre- and post-doctoral fellowships.

John Kraushaar proved a good salesman, as documented in John Sloan's humorous 1926 etching, Kraushaar's, in which the artist described him as 'engaged in the difficult job of selling a picture to a man whose wife feels she needs sables' and 'helping a husband persuade a lady who already has a mink coat that she could add to her splendors by owning a painting.'
In this etching, the viewer is given a bird's-eye perspective of a city street corner. Hopper has evoked an entire world with just a few elements: a storefront, a fire hydrant, and a lone walking man who is about to cross the looming shadow of a streetlight that lies across his path. The setting that inspired Hopper was an actual location in New York, which the artist also used for his oil painting New York Corner (also known as Corner Saloon, 1913; Museum of Modern Art, New York). It is a downtown street near the riverfront, marked by a simple brick building with a painted sign; yet as ordinary as this place may be, Hopper has made it seem mysterious and even threatening through the use of dark tonalities and strong compositional devices. The viewer becomes a voyeur, watching the unaware pedestrian, and a possible narrative of the man's destination at this late hour (when even the saloon is closed) extends beyond the single moment of the image. Hopper's sensibility in such a work as Night Shadows forecasts the film noir style of the 1940s, with its shadowy lighting and its narratives of crime, guilt, and betrayal.
Janet L. Comey wrote, in Edward Hopper: Hours of Darkness:
Many of Edward Hopper's (1882-1967) most admired paintings are night scenes. An enthusiast of both movies and the theater, he adapted the device of highlighting a scene against a dark background, providing the viewer with a sense of sitting in a darkened theater waiting for the drama to unfold. By staging his pictures in darkness, Hopper was able to illuminate the most important features while obscuring extraneous detail. The settings in Night Windows, Room in New York, Nighthawks, and other night compositions enhance the emotional content of the works — adding poignancy and suggestions of danger or uneasiness.
The Nyack, New York, born Hopper trained as an illustrator before transferring to the New York School of Art, where he studied under Ashcan School painter Robert Henri (1869-1929). Near the beginning of his career, he revealed an interest in night scenes. On his first trip to Europe in 1906–07, he was fascinated by Rembrandt's Night Watch (1642) in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam; writing to his mother that the painting was "the most wonderful thing of [Rembrandt's] I have seen, its past belief in its reality -- it almost amounts to deception. In several early paintings, Hopper depicted rooms and figures in moonlight. Thereafter, he showed scenes illuminated by artificial light.
Painting darkness is technically demanding, and Hopper was constantly studying the effects of night light. Emerging from a Cape Cod restaurant one evening, he remarked upon observing some foliage lit by the restaurant window, "Do you notice how artificial trees look at night? Trees look like theater at night."
In the 1910s Hopper turned to etching and achieved his first success. His prints were purchased by collectors, earned critical acclaim, and won prizes in exhibitions. Striving for strong dark-light contrasts, he used the whitest paper he could buy locally and sent to London for intense black ink not found in the United States. Prints such as Night on the El Train, Evening Wind, Night in the Park, and particularly Night Shadows, were among his most sought-after etchings. Both the deep darkness and the unusual viewpoint create dramatic tension in Night Shadows. A solitary figure in an unidentified city walks toward the shadow of an unseen lamp post. The possible danger lurking in the darkness, the barrier-like shadow across his path, and the isolation of the figure lend an ominous air to the image.

In our spring clean-up this week (more on that later), I unearthed a file of papers from when Den and I did our pre-marriage education weekend earlier this year. In Australia, these weekends are generally a prerequisite for marrying in any given church – though after being pleasantly surprised by the genuinely great information we were given during the course, I highly recommend some form of it to any couple getting married.
We went in expecting to be lectured at by a priest on the wrongs and rights of marriage (In fact, I was braced for a full, mandatory inflatable-pool Baptism into the Catholic religion, thinking these little weekends were merely a recruitment drive) but in fact, there was no religion mentioned even in passing and rather a lecture, we were encouraged to instead talk to each other, get to know each other a little more intimately and with intent and think about what issues may come up in the course of our future relationship.
Gottman's Love Map Theory
One exercise was borne from Gottman's Love Map theory. Your love map is the part of your brain where you store information about your partner's dreams, goals, joys, fears, likes, dislikes, frustrations, and worries. Things like your husband's favorite TV Show or your wife's favourite leisure activities are significant "points" on the map.
Why are thorough love maps so important? Because they strengthen relationships. Couples with comprehensive love maps stay aware of their partner's changing needs. They constantly seek updates on what the other person is doing, feeling, and thinking. Being understood in this way is a gift each partner gives the other, bringing great happiness and satisfaction. It also leaves couples better prepared to cope with stresses on their relationship.
For example, in one study Gottman interviewed couples around the time of the birth of their first child. For 67% of couples this stressful event was accompanied by a significant drop in marital satisfaction. But the other 33% did feel a drop in satisfaction; in fact many felt their marriages had gotten stronger. The difference was the completeness of the couples' love maps. "The couples whose marriages thrived after the birth had detailed love maps from the get-go," says Gottman. "These love maps protected their marriages in the wake of this dramatic upheaval."
The point is also that couples goals, dreams and priorities change over time. If couples can make a continued effort to update their love maps of each other, they stand a much better chance of making it through the hard times together.
Getting to Know Your Partner
We were handed a lighthearted quiz to do at our couples weekend. Around 60 questions that could make up a love map, with different points weighted for each. We were to quiz each other and see how well we knew one another. Rather than getting angry that your sweetie was unaware of your favourite magazine, or social security number, it presents an opportunity for the two of you to bond further and get to know each other better.
Poor Den – I change my mind and my preferences at breakneck speed. My favourite colour, food, beverage and more could be completely different from one day to the next depending on my mood.
Luckily for me, he's quite the creature of habit… like a slow-moving glacier. I'm pretty confident that what he likes now will not change by Friday. That said, I'm conscious that to keep our maps updated, we need to keep communicating on a deeper level than just "Can you hang out the washing?" and "Have you seen my socks anywhere?"
How to Play
This is a great activity for your next low-key date night. Over dinner, breakfast, coffee or baking, see how well you know each other and perhaps learn something new about your partner. Start by drafting 20 questions across the different love map categories that you can quiz each other on. Don't get upset if your partner doesn't know the answer… use it as an opportunity to get to know your partner's current preferences. Here are the primary categories and some example questions you might like to ask:
Family – Who is my favourite relative? What was one of my best childhood experiences? My worst?
Friends – Name my two best friends. Name one of my major rivals/enemies. How did I meet my best friends? Who is my greatest source of support (besides you)?
Work – What is my dream job? What is one of my major career goals? What part of my job do I hate? Which of my colleagues do I like?
Hobbies – What is one of my favourite weekend activities? How do I let off steam? What's my favourite sport?
Dreams – What are two of my aspirations, hopes, wishes? Do I have a secret ambition? What is it? What is my fondest unrealized dream? What do I fantasize about?
Favourites – What is my favourite book, movie, TV show, colour, flower, turn on? Which side of the bed do I prefer? What's my favourite season? Where's my favourite holiday destination?
Feelings – What medical problems do I worry about? What is one of my favourite ways to be soothed? What am I most sad about? What are some of the important events coming up in my life? How do I feel about them?
And so on.
Using the Information
As gather and store all these small details about your partner onto your love map, you can use the information to surprise and delight your sweetie in small ways.
For instance, awhile ago Den found out what one of my favourite comfort foods was from my childhood. He secretly contacted my mother for the recipe, went shopping for the ingredients and we made them together one night here at home.
You can buy your partner a bunch of their favourite flowers, pick up a copy of their favourite magazine or take them to their favourite restaurant for dinner… If your partner has always dreamed of writing a novel, or learning French, enroll them in a short course to help them realise their dreams.
The Kicker

Great article! Thanks for the useful advice!
I never heard of Gottman's Love Map before reading this post.
That is new to me,I have never head of Gottman let alone the love map.but will agree on the point of helping couples better prepared to cope with stresses on their relationship.There are these little things that really matters in every relationship because if you know your partner well it will make communication between you two easy and with good communication come a beautiful relationship.
Great insight – being proactive about these things definitely does help when it comes to dealing with relationship stressors. Too many people leave things like this too late, I think. We never would have seen these things if it wasn't for our pre-marriage education classes. It's one time in life that you really stop and think about your relationship… we should do it more often, come to think of it.
Love you. I think we should do this quiz

Today, was my office day at work....so basically, that means that I sit at a desk, and try to schedule the entire staff, along with their needs, and the business needs, and the management needs, and the company needs, etc......to others it means.......'oh, here is a chair beside Robyn, so I am going to sit beside her and talk to her while she is trying to concentrate.'
And so the conversation came up about a child recently born to friends of one of the managers. The babys name is Isaac David. Now they were kinda joking around about the name...........
"Could the name be any more biblical?" one asked.
Another said, "The only way, it could get more biblical is if they named him Jesus Moses."
Laughing ensued.
"Who would name their baby Moses?" ...cajoled one girl.
With my straightest face I said, " Miriam.".......and then I remembered.........................................oh yeah, and Gwyneth Paltrow."

Montessori (pronounced MON-tuh-SORE-ee) is a comprehensive educational approach from birth to adulthood based on the observation of children's needs in a variety of cultures all around the world.
Beginning her work almost a century ago, Dr. Maria Montessori developed this educational approach based on her understanding of children's natural learning tendencies as they unfold in "prepared environments" for multi-age groups (0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, and 12-14).
The Montessori environment contains specially designed, manipulative "materials for development" that invite children to engage in learning activities of their own individual choice. Under the guidance of a trained teacher, children in a Montessori classroom learn by making discoveries with the materials, cultivating concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning.

Australian Bachelor Takes Devastated Date For 'Dirty Street Pie'
SYDNEY — There is a pie fight going down in Australia.
On Wednesday night, the local version of the television show The Bachelor, where 24 beautiful women fight for one man, aired a segment which has riled up pie lovers everywhere.
Dressed to the nines, Laurina—the last names of competing ladies are not used on the show— was taken on a date by Bachelor hunk, 31-year-old Blake Garvey. A true Aussie, Garvey decided the perfect place to take this princess was to the iconic Harry's Cafe de Wheels pie van.
Clearly embarrassed by the way she was dressed and feeling jealousy toward the glamour dates chosen for the other ladies, Laurina could not hold back her disgust.
The look on Laurina's face was priceless, as she muttered the words: "Everyone else gets Ferraris, super yachts and private jets, and I get a dirty street pie."
Cue a social media and meme frenzy, with the hashtag #DirtyStreetPie trending on Twitter.

Great. Now I'm craving a #dirtystreetpie
— Miss Amanda (@missamanda) September 5, 2014
The pie shop, which has hosted celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Sir Elton John and Colonel Sanders, defended itself as the perfect first date location and it seems the women of Australia agreed. They'd happily eat a "dirty street pie" any day.
Harry's owner Michael Hannah told News Limited they had received a load of emails from single young women saying "they'd kill to dress up and go to Harry's for a pie."
"Where else would you take your girl for a good night out?" he said. "That used to be the way to impress a girl, especially after a ball or big social gathering, and you had your penguin suit on. Harry's was the ideal date, a real tradition."
Where else would you take your best girl for a night out? #dirtystreetpie #harryscafedw

Design of recombinant whole-cell catalysts for double reduction of CC and CO bonds in enals and application in the synthesis of Guerbet alcohols as industrial bulk chemicals for lubricants†
Whole-cell catalysts overexpressing two enzymes for a double reduction cascade in which aliphatic α-branched α,β-unsaturated aldehydes are converted into Guerbet alcohols as a highly demanded class of lubricants were constructed and characterized. The reaction conditions were optimized to suppress by-product formation, achieving high conversion and selectivity. Application of methanol as a co-solvent on a 500 mL scale enabled a substrate concentration of 18.5 g L−1 obtaining 97% yield and 88% purity without further distillation. Addressing the needs of industrial processes, substrate loading was increased up to 94 g L−1 and the E-factor (environmental factor) was significantly improved compared to the original process with isolated enzymes.

Infinite Product Optionsby HulkApps.com
Infinite Options for Custom Products with Infinite Variants
All reviews
My store have many products and each product have multiple options, with Infinite Product Options from HulkApps, it really help me a lot on my store setup, save time and money :) And the support is fast and very helpful, they really listen to customer and always improve the feature!
Updated Review: I downgrade it from 5 star to 3 star because the product options can't display correctly for people in Russia and China. Support unable to fix it and I lost many sales due to this problem.
Developer reply
Thank you! We're glad our app could help you to save money and earn more!
Installed the app but could not figure out how to utilize it. I called Shopify asking for help then they referred me to the Hulk Apps phone number hotline which did not work, ended up removing the app and switching to custom product options by Bulk Apps. They walked me through the process and set up my variants.
Developer reply
We understand your frustration. Our team works on multiple installation requests and sometimes, it takes time to configure the app with the theme's code.
We are trying our best to reduce the resolution time to less than 4 hours.
Since you placed your trust in us, we'll be glad to escalate your work to a dedicated developer on a high priority. Let us know if you still need our assistance.
The Fuzzy Thread
Had some issues during the setup process where my listings wouldn't sync, but with admin access, they were able to correct the problems at no charge!! I am now very excited to finish setting up my online store and launch soon.
- there are still issues with syncing, but they are currently working on a resolution. Once fixed, I'll update my star rating.
Developer reply
Hi There,
I hope you are happy with the fixes and support we've provided. The product sync issue has been resolved and we've improved the product sync process significantly.
Hope you'll amend your review. Thank you.
L.A. Minerals
The app is setup well and easy to implement, however the REQUIRED option for a variant is no working properly. Customers are able to add a product without choosing an option.
Very frustrating and disappointing. I have written to their support several times about this, with no resolution.
Will be looking elsewhere for a variations solution.
Developer reply
Thank you for providing feedback and I'm happy to inform you that our team was able to resolve the issue.
Would be glad if you could give it a try now. Our team can also test and resolve code conflicts (if any).
If you get what you're looking for you can amend the review you left us. Thank you
The Room Outdoors
The app works fine. Installation is ridiculous. I emailed for support on instal and adding my option set to my item. They finished the install, which was helpful, but then they attached my option set to the wrong item. They sent me a screenshot saying this was "a test" but they left it attached to the completely wrong product!
I will continue to use the app, but customer service is a joke. I feel like they are on autopilot and just aren't really paying attention.
Developer reply
We're sorry if you felt that we didn't fulfill all your needs. Next time you can create a dummy product in your store for us to test our code implementation. We would be glad to perform test on it.
In case you find our services up to the mark, you can amend your review for us.
Thank you.
I thought it is a good app to help us to provide more choices to customer. However , we face some problems after installing this app. So sad that 72 hours past , we don't get any reply .
If we install this app , our page will occur errors .
Developer reply
We're sorry that your experience with our app wasn't up to the mark, but since the app update, most of the installation issues have been taken care of. You can see for yourself. Our team is happy to have you back anytime. Please reach us on firstname.lastname@example.com :)

I am new to Shopify and how you have to add Apps to get the functionality I typically find standard in other carts I've used. I needed expanded Options and the Hulk Apps Custom Product Options was the only "free" choice I saw. Since I didnt' understand how to use their product (they should provided a more detailed description of this) I didn't see any changes when I installed the app. Each ticket exchange took 2-3 days for a proper response. I now see how to use this App and will see if it is a good fit for my store. I was generous on the rating since this is a Free item.
Developer reply
Thank you and we hope you continue using our free (and now, paid) apps. :)
Posh Pet Glamour Boutique
Didnt like this app at all. Ended up choosing a different app. This one was not user friendly and had too much confusing coding going on. I gave up and switched to a much easier app. ***Update- Found out this app left coding on my theme which cause some of my features to not work. Had to work with my theme provider to have it removed so my site would work again. I'm avoiding all Hulk apps now thanks to the frustration.
Developer reply
We're sorry we couldn't match-up to the mark with our app and support service. We have updated our app and support guide since then, and we're sure your experience will be better this time.
Do let us know if you need any assistance. Our team is capable to take care of your store's needs.

I have been using this app for some time and it's great when its working. But any change and it bugs out. I have just updated my theme on the 19th and sure enough its no longer updating prices in cart. The new theme (Narrative) also doesnt seem compatible on the lap top version as the options are not scrolling with the screen. I sent through a support ticket straight away and have put our site on password protect until its fixed and unfortunately its now monday 21st inching closer to lunch time and our site is still down with no one from support returning my emails to help. Every minute the site is down we're losing sales and if not resolved in the next couple hours I think i'm going to have to uninstall and look at other options so I can get our site back up. Please help ASAP!!
Developer reply
Thank you and nice work there! Great to see how you have setup your options. We are pleased to inform you that you can also offer dual color swatch, apart from single color and image swatch option. Try it, its pretty cool!
Overall, not a bad app - the free price tag is hard to beat!
BUT - there are a few reasons that I will NOT be continuing to use this app.
1) The options do not export with the order.
This is the biggest issue with this app for our business. Our process involves exporting the orders and creating a to-do list based on that spreadsheet. The options chosen aren't on this spreadsheet, which means we have to manually pull up the order and input which options were chosen. I haven't looked into any other apps to see if this is a universal problem, but it definitely is a deal-breaker on this app.
2) The pricing is handled in a confusing way.
I love that you can include an add-on price for each option but the way that it is reported is confusing and not as seamless as I would like. It adds these prices as a separate line item. So for example, we have an item that has a base cost of $1 and charges an extra dollar for each accessory added. The way that this is shown on the invoice is
Item A - $1
Customization Cost for Item A - $4
Splitting it up like this makes it a little confusing for the customer. It also affects that exported spreadsheet and makes it confusing for us as well.
I also don't like that if there isn't a charge for customization, it includes the [$0.00] price tag on the invoice which looks cluttered.
3) You can not add/edit/look at the options from the listing itself
The way this app works is that you create and assign the options from within the app. There is no way (that I have found) to access these options from each listing or even see what options are assigned to that item. This wasn't a deal breaker and I also don't know if this universal to other apps, but it was something that was a little inconvenient.
4) The app is not incredibly easy to install
Many of the other apps I have used on Shopify have been fairly simple to install and set up. I was surprised that installing this app actually involved editing the code. I am by no means a coding expert but I do have a tiny bit of experience. I can't imagine someone who is a complete novice having to go through those steps. It seems from other reviews that Hulk Code has great support to help you activate the app but if you are a stubborn independent person like me, this could be frustrating to potentially HAVE to ask for assistance.
Again, overall not a terrible app - I just wanted to throw my two-cents in about this app after using it for a couple of days.
Developer reply
Thank you for sharing an honest insight into the pros and cons of using our app for several days. We really appreciate your efforts to help developers like us understand what are the pain points for merchants who actually use the app in their day-to-day operations.
We would like to inform you that we take user feedback very seriously and try very hard each day to improve our app and provide better user experience.
We will do a better job next time and hopefully earn your trust back.
As of now, we are still looking into Exporting options with Orders.
For price adjustment - we do display a breakdown of the charges to avoid confusion.
With the app improvement update which we rolled-out this year, we have taken care of option listing display. We not only sync products, but also its variants, so you could upsell your products as options.
Our setup and install guide is detailed enough to guide coders, but for novices like yourself, we personally look into each store, to install and setup your options, so you get what you want and that too: hassle-free!
Let us know if you ever decide to re-install the app, our team will provide you priority support. :)
