Does the artist exist?
Of course, this line of thinking came to me originally from reading Genet, I think. I was wholly charmed by the line at the end of The Thief's Journal, where he writes: "This book does not aim to be a work of art, an object detached from its author and from the world, pursuing in the sky its lonely flight" (267). If you know his work, you know that much of it is autobiographical and that yet much of it is fiction, as it labels itself to be. These supposedly contradictory categories inspired a senior thesis in which I tried to elaborate the relation of these categories. Perhaps my conviction that the artist does not exist was meant to, in one fatal coup, resolve this "dilemma."
In short, I was an adherent of this group of radical intellectuals who praised the nightime god of "the death of author." We met in a space where we could not use our own voices, where our identities were continually varied, and in which we were not allowed to look at one another (we sat in a circle of chairs all facing outward, passing notes). We praised, instead of the author, the integrity of the work of art. We fetishized the thing itself. Yet, from the beginning, this kind of formalism is inadequate. The language of the text depended upon the grammar of the spoken word, of the heritage of the language's employment and its institutional regulations.
And moreover, when I teach John Donne's "Satire 3" on religion, Donne's own personal history and the state of England at the time enriches quite dramatically the sentiments expressed there. For that matter, when I read any work, its history seems to be a fundamental condition for how it is understood (which does not mean, although Kyle and I have argued about this, that I exclude the interpretive possibilities supposedly ahistorical). What is more, we know that the work, in Genet's case par excellence, produces the writer. So if we were to then get rid of the author, wouldn't we be eliminating one of the more beautiful effects of the work?
In philosophy, the author only seems to produce problems. We start trying to judge what the author meant to say and we do research around the series of an author's works. In philosophy, the author-function, as Foucault puts it, is quite important. Likewise in film, although auteur theory has been dead for some time. But I will continue to treat the works by the Coen brothers distinctly from the class of other works that aspire to the levity of the former. The author serves as a useful node for articulating boundaries and lines.
And yet, the author-function's most distressing effect seems to be in the intentionality that is pursued there in interpretation. I've clung to this point like a barnacle (nice phrase no?). And yet, from a psychoanalytic perspective, wouldn't the intentionality-function itself be something useful, adding a dimension to our interpretation? What do we have invested in the author/intentionality-function? It seems important. Like freedom. Which is all I have wanted to dissolve, since I was a wee glimmer in the eye of a young southern girl at a religious function.

I share some of the ambivalence you're articulating here about the death of the author, something I think we've discussed in the past.
As you point out when you mention that the "author" causes all sorts of problems in philosophy, there is a wholly pragmatic argument for the death of the author, namely that it opens up the text to all the sorts of play that the text invites but that are foreclosed by the intent of the "author ---" Of course, as you also point out there are pragmatic reasons to do so (although I'm not sure I agree with the suggestion that psychoanaltic discourse provides the best --- maybe this is because I come to post-structuralism more from phenomenology than structuralism).
Neither of those things, however, says much about the philosophical arguments for or against, which, I take it, go back to the origin of philosophy and to what my students seem to think philosophy is: A discussion of meaning?
Is meaning best grasped as a formal cause or a final cause? To declare the death of the author is, as you point out, to validate a certain kind of formalist discourse. But avowing this discourse doesn't tell us what happens to final causes (which Plato tended to conflate and which Aristotle ran together more often than not).
The briefest way to put the only answer I have been able to find that's acceptable to this problem (certainly the only one with the brevity required on the internets) is to say that formal causes are final causes tilted to the side (the author is dead, but pace Chet, it exists).
There have been a long line of mistaken philosophical concepts that have wanted us to take final causes seriously: the author, to be sure, but also the self taken in a wider sphere, and God and the good.
The philosopher, however, is content to restrict herself to formalism, even if such a formalism proves to be useless.

I think there's an important distinction to be drawn between your complete refusal of the author's existence and the so-called death of the author.
And, so that I don't get accused of ahistoricism, I just want to clarify what I imagine I said in that conversation you recalled. My concern is that a certain mode of historical interpretation just makes historical events/conditions into the "author" of a text in the sense of a ground outside the text that offers its ultimate explanation. That is the real problem with the idea of authority, not the notion that someone actually wrote the text.

Although I like the "barnacle" turn of phrase, I don't think you can "cling to a point like a barnacle." Barnacles cling to you, not vice versa. Unless you meant you were taking the place of a barnacle... like a barnacle on the point to which you are clinging... in which case, very nice turn of phrase.
Per usual, I agree with Kyle here that the "so-called death of the author" is not meant to object to the fact that somebody actually wrote the text. (Funny how I can't help but appealing to the imaginary intention of the imaginary author of the "death of the author" claim.) And I also agree with Kyle that trying to replace the *actual* author-person with a set of historical facts--if those historical facts are meant to explain the text in the way that the author would--then it is just the same song, different verse. The point of the death-of-the-author craze all along was to "understand" the text as undecideable, that is, NOT "understandable" in any complete or final way.
However, I do think it's also important to remember that the author, unlike the text, does *actually* die, as does the artist. Authors and artists are bound by a kind of finitude that their creations are not. It's only *because* the author can and does "die" that we readers have real access to the range of possibile (aesthetic, literary, philosophical) experiences that we presume to have.
As someone whose "author" has recently "died," I can attest that this is no small point.

We heard from Elder B today, and he's doing A-MA-ZING!!
They must really like him too because his second day there he was called to be Senior Zone Leader, as well as the travel leader for all the missionaries going to India! He is such a happy boy,
and we couldn't be more pleased with how he's doing!
Here is his first letter home:
Family! Namaste!
Happy Halloween! Don't get too fat off candy without me now...Oh my gosh I seriously love it here so much! This place is incredible! I miss you guys but I'm sorry/happy to say that I don't miss you that much! My first day was incredible. I got to go to class and learn more about being a missionary within 45 minutes of being here. My companion is Elder Larsen and he is so awesome! He is from twin Falls, he's about 6'1", funnier than crap, and is so positive about everything! We really get along great. So on our first day, I was in a class of about 40 missionaries, both Elders and Sisters, and as a class we taught and got to experience speaking with 3 separate investigators. I can't even believe how quickly I have already picked up on how to talk, teach, preach, and testify to a non-member! In two days, my testimony has grown 10x stronger! I love you guys so much! You're each individually in my prayers! Have a good week!
-Elder Trey Brimhall

The amount of knowledge they pour into your mind here is ridiculous. I have learned more about this church and the Character of Christ in the last 5 days than I have in the last 5 years.. You literally cannot believe how powerful the spirit is here!! My testimony of the truthfulness of this gospel has grown soo much and I love it so much!! Hows the quiet life?? I'm sure you're loving it mom.. ;) and how was the pheasant hunt?? Only one bird but was it fun?? I bet it was coooold... I got your package guys!!! THAT WAS MUCH NEEDED!!! I loved it so much... ahhh having a baseball is like the biggest release... haha and Bryce, I got that coke and literally downed that thing in like two minutes... So good. That family booklet is amazing mom!! I literally love it so much!! My P day is actually on Wednesday but I have free time right now so I thought I would write you since I will only have one P day here... But I should go!! I love you all so much!! Have a great week!! The church is true:)

The tragic shooting in Florida brought the subject of somehow ending senseless shootings back to the forefront. There are three potential solutions to this.
One is gun control by regulating and controlling who can buy a gun and registering that ownership. The second is controlling the people that might commit such an act. The third is becoming an armed camp by starting with teachers, arming them to deter any potential threat in that school.
This last option is least feasible as there are thousands of schools, elementary, middle, high school and colleges where shooting have and could take place at anytime in the future. It is not the duty of a teacher to become law enforcement; they have enough to do controlling the students, and will do heroic acts should it become necessary. Additionally, when the next shooting occurs in some other location with many people, do you arm the staff at those facilities? Theaters, churches, shopping malls, the list could go on.
The second option proposed by the NRA under the auspices of �Guns don�t kill people, people kill people.� That is true, it takes a person to point and shoot at someone. Those that have committed this heinous act have come from all walks of life of varying backgrounds and some with no prescient signs to those with obvious aberrant behavior. How do we control the mind of an individual? Who knows what anyone is thinking at any given moment? Obviously there can be guidelines to prevent some from owning a weapon, but how do you stop anyone in particular from going rogue?
Lastly, the current cry to action is for gun control. Unlike a person that can hide thoughts and intentions, a gun is an inanimate object that can be tracked and controlled. You can control guns, you can�t control people. I hope that the lawmakers stop reveling in the Second Amendment and find a way to enforce that article, yet control ownership and access to weapons. At a minimum there should be restrictions on assault weapons. I don�t know of any hunter that takes his AR-15 into the woods and dumps 15 rounds rapid fire into a deer.
I understand the satisfaction of target shooting to imagine one is dusting off the bad guys in some foreign conflict, but that can be regulated as well. Gun control is my choice and I hope that our lawmakers see the infeasibility of the other options and do the right thing.

South African women's magazines and health communication : a reception analysis of HIV and AIDS messages in five most circulated magazines in South Africa.
Van den Berg, Claudia.
MetadataShow full item record
The aim of this study is to discover the relationship between health, media and gender, more specifically HIV and AIDS prevention, women's magazines and women as readers. This research has been conducted within a Master's dissertation at the Centre for Communication, Culture, Media & Society (CCMS) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2012 and the primary emphasis is on media reception and the way in which women make sense of women's magazines messages, particularly of HIV and AIDS messages. Therefore, the study's focus is on media consumption, influences of women's magazines and personal interpretation of embedded messages. The aim is to identify the role of women's magazines as part of mass media within a particular field of communication rather than to identify the magazines' impact on gender roles. My study will discover the reception of health messages on HIV and AIDS surrounded by controversial messages on femininity and gender stereotypes. The main research questions are: i) How, why and when are recipients using women's magazines? ii) How are recipients perceiving and interpreting HIV and AIDS messages in women's magazines, and specifically within the context of contradictory messages on sex, femininity and gender roles? iii) And, if and how are health messages in women's magazines influencing recipients and their interaction with others? The interpretive qualitative research paradigm is applied and the method of qualitative interviews is used for collecting the data. The uses and gratification theory, social learning/social cognitive theory, the concept of entertainment education (EE), and the women-centred sense-making approach are consulted. As an overall result, the analysis reflects a positive picture and interpretation of women's magazines by the participants, but it also shows the dual character of women's magazines. Contradictions and critique on content were expressed, positive and negative features were identified, female stereotypes and at the same time the enjoyment of reading was noted, and with regards to health messages, the overall reception was predominantly positive and various content elements seemed to be relevant for the participants. In conclusion, the decisive factors for health messages on HIV and AIDS in women's magazines, identified in my study are: motivation as an important stage, according to social learning/social cognitive theory in order 7 to enable behaviour modelling; relatedness, originally identified as a third human need within the self-determination theory, which helps to strengthen intrinsic motivation; the dual character of women's magazines as an on-going conflict between the pleasure of reading a magazine and the consciousness of reprehensible stereotypes and female roles; the sense of female community and finally the role of readers as female opinion leaders. These results present women's magazines as a multifaceted medium and might influence future research and programmes for health communication on HIV and AIDS prevention. Key words: Women, health, HIV and AIDS, women's magazines, print media, reception analysis, HIV and AIDS communication, development communication, media usage, media consumption, health messages, relatedness, duality.

Apple Donor Station – Until 1st October 2017
September 12, 2017 by Tor Park
Got an apple tree? And more apples than you know what to do with?
The Farm is now an Apple Donor Station for Hawkes, so drop them off with us!
Here is what Hawkes has to say…
We're revolutionising the way cider is made.
At Hawkes, to create our Urban Orchard Cider, we blend unwanted, inner city apples with the finest country crops to produce a great-tasting cider that gives back. We regularly receive apples from community orchards, back gardens, city farms and many other places – helping us promote sustainability, encourage local food sourcing and fight food waste. Check out our website for all the latest information at wearehawkes.com
We need you.
We're big on community involvement. We want to engage our local community, and those further afield, and by becoming an #AppleDonor Station you can help. Last year, with the help of our Apple Donor stations we collected almost 16 tonnes of apples throughout the apple harvest. This year we plan on going even further with a dedicated Apple Donor weekend on Saturday 30th September – Sunday 1st October 2017, collecting as many apples as we can over this weekend to spread the word.
What is an Apple Donor Station?
We are inspired by the Fairtrade model, and with this in mind, we'll put your unwanted apples to good use and in return, you'll receive 20% above the market price to re-invest into your community – simple!
We need places within the community that facilitate donors coming together and collectively donating. Apple Donor Stations don't need to grow any apples themselves and we'll even collect them from you!
How does it work?
We will weigh your apples when we come to collect them and will pay you a premium of £300 per tonne (or £0.30 per kg) of apples as a donation to help your group or community develop in the future, and hopefully grow more apples. We prefer apples that are ripe and ready (if there are any you're unsure about, please hand these to us separately).

Jeremy has a unique approach to bringing out the best in people. He certainly practices what he preaches! Jeremy is one of a handful of trainers/coaches/practitioners that I would, without any hesitation, recommend to others. He is knowledgeable, ethical and shows genuine passion for the work he does and how best to serve others.
I have had the pleasure of studying with Jeremy, and the NLP he has taught has had a wonderful impact on my personal and professional life. Jeremy explains NLP in an accessible, easy, manner and for me took away the fluff of the subject. The practical help on the courses and the smaller classes give you a personal learning environment, perfect for this subject. I highly recommend Jeremy for anyone interested in NLP.
I've undertaken three major trainings with Jeremy: NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and most recently NLP Sports Practitioner. I keep coming back because the training is thorough, ethical and ecological, and it's academically recognized. As a career coach I work with people at all stages of their career, across levels and across a wide range of industries.
Before doing the NLP course, I had felt I needed more coaching approaches and methodologies. The course gave me a lot of new techniques which I have used to help my coaching clients. Also I was launching my new coaching brand as I was doing the programme and looking back I can see it helped me to set big targets and reach them.
I found the course to be enlightening both personally and professionally. Jeremy's experience of the corporate world allowed for a real life perspective to be taken and a focused view into NLP and its application in Business and coaching.
I feel privileged to have discovered NLP, it has changed my life. Understanding communication, the impact of language and being able to change unwanted behaviours has been the difference that made the difference for me. Jeremy is so much more than an NLP Master Trainer. It is a powerful rewarding experience learning and evolving with Jeremy. I highly recommend studying with Jeremy, one of my best decisions.
Before the course, I was struggling which decision to make about my future- within 4 months of the course, I made a career plan and my business plan.
What I got from the training was much more than I ever imagined I would get from it, I was blown away by it. Jeremy's professionalism and delivery of the training was second to none. .. I would highly encourage anyone to train with Jeremy at The Lazarus Consultancy because they will leave knowing NLP and having a mentor for life.

Math 443/543 Graph Theory Notes 4: Connector Problems
- Jordan Mason

1 Math 443/543 Graph Theory Notes 4: Connector Problems David Glickenstein September 19, Trees and the Minimal Connector Problem Here is the problem: Suppose we have a collection of cities which we want to connect by a system of railway lines. Also suppose we know the cost of constructing lines between pairs of cities. How do we construct the system so that the cost is minimal, regardless of the inconvenience to the passengers. De nition 1 A network (or weighted graph) is a graph G together with a map : E! R. The function may represent the length of an edge, or conductivity, or cross-sectional area or many other things. Given a network (G; ) ; we can de ne the weight of a subgraph H G to be (H) = X (e) : e2e(h) The problem is then: given two vertices u 0 ; v 0 2 V (G) ; nd a u 0 v 0 -path of smallest weight (where we consider the path as a subgraph). NOTE: We will assume that (e) > 0 for the remainder of the section, as this simpli es exposition. We are trying to construct a network of minimal cost. Here are some observations: The solution must be connected. The solution should contain no cycles, for if there were any cycles, we could remove one of the edges to get a smaller cost, and passengers could still get from one place to the other. Thus we want every edge to be a bridge. Such a graph is called a tree. De nition 2 A graph with no cycles is called a forest. A connected graph with no cycles is called a tree. 1
2 Note that each component of a forest is a tree. Trees kind of look like branches of a tree, which is where the name comes from. Here are some properties of trees. Theorem 3 Let u and v be two vertices of a tree G: Then there is exactly one uv-path in G: Proof. Since G is connected, there is at least one uv-path. Suppose there were two uv-paths, P = v 0 ; v 1 ; v 2 ; : : : ; v k and P 0 = v0; 0 v1; 0 v2; 0 : : : ; vk 0 0 (note that k need not equal k 0 ). If P 6= P 0 ; then we can de ne s and f as s = min i : v i+1 6= v 0 i+1 f = max i : v i 1 6= v 0 i 1 : We can then construct two disjoint paths between v s and v f ; producing a cycle. But there are no cycles in G; so we must have P = P 0 : Also, recall the following: Theorem 4 If a (p; q)-graph G is a tree, then q = p 1: We come back to the minimal connector problem. De nition 5 If G is a connected graph, a subgraph T which is a tree and contains every vertex of G is called a spanning tree. We wish to nd a spanning tree of minimal value. Let s nd a particular tree called an economy tree. We construct the subgraph T E starting with all of the vertices of G and then add edges one at a time: 1. First add the edge of minimal weight. 2. Continue to add edges of minimal weight unless they would form a cycle with the previously added edges. 3. Stop when the graph is connected. Since no cycles are produced and the graph ends up connected and reaching every vertex, we produce a spanning tree. One might ask whether we can, in fact do this; that is, is it possible that no edges can be added that would not result in a cycle, yet the graph is not connected. If the subgraph T E at some stage is not connected, then consider a path between two di erent components (which exists since G was connected). If all edges on the path not already in T E (there must be some) create a cycle when added, then the two components were already connected (by the other part of the cycle), a contradiction. Note that the economy tree is not necessarily unique. We may have many of them. The theorem is that the economy tree solves the minimal connector problem. 2
3 Theorem 6 Let (G; ) be a network. The economy tree T E has minimal weight among all spanning trees. Proof. Let T 0 be a spanning tree of minimal weight. We will show that (T E ) (T 0 ) ; which implies equality since (T 0 ) is minimal among all spanning trees. We can order the edges in T E by the weights, i.e., E (T E ) = fe 1 ; e 2 ; : : : ; e p 1 g where (e i ) (e i+1 ) : Now let e j be the rst edge in T E which is not in T 0 : Let G 0 = T 0 + e j : Since T 0 is a spanning tree, G 0 must have a cycle C: Since T E is a tree, there must be an edge e 0 in C which is not in T E : In particular, e 0 2 T 0 : We can consider the graph T0 0 = G 0 e 0 ; which has no cycles and is connected, so it is also a spanning tree. We notice that Since T 0 is minimal, we have and hence (T 0 0) = (T 0 ) + (e j ) (e 0 ) : (T 0 ) (T 0 0) = (T 0 ) + (e j ) (e 0 ) (e 0 ) (e j ) : However, (e j ) was chosen to have minimal weight among edges in G not in T E in the construction, which means we must have that Thus (e 0 ) = (e j ) : (T 0 0) = (T 0 ) : So T0 0 is also minimal. We now consider T0 0 instead of T 0 : We may do the same construction as before, nding the rst edge e j 0 which is in T E but not T0: 0 We note that j 0 j + 1: We may continue to do this until we construct a minimal spanning tree which is equal to T E : See Example in Figure 4.11 in C. Note, the algorithm of constructing the economy tree is called Kruskal s algorithm. BM-8.5 Note that Kruskal s algorithm can give a minimal spanning forest as well. 2 Shortest path problems and Dijkstra s algorithm We consider the shortest path problem: Given a railway network connecting various towns, determine the shortest route between a given pair of towns. Often, we will refer to the the weight of an edge as a length and the value of the smallest weight as the distance. We will present the algorithm of Dijkstra and Whiting-Hillier (found independently). In the sequel, we will assume that is de ned on all pairs of vertices and (uv) = 1 if uv =2 E (G) : 3
4 De nition 7 The distance between two vertices u; v 2 V (G) is equal to d (u; v) = d G (u; v) = min f (P ) : P is a path from u to vg : A path P which attains the minimum is called a shortest path. We then have the following algorithm, known as Dijkstra s algorithm: 1. Let ` (u 0 ) = 0 and let ` (v) = 1 for all v 6= u 0 : Let S 0 = fu 0 g and let i = 0: 2. For each v 2 Si c ; replace ` (v) with 3. Compute M to be min f` (v) ; ` (u) + (uv)g : u2s i M = min f` (v)g v2si c and let u i+1 be the vertex which attains M: 4. Let S i+1 = S i [ fu i+1 g : 5. If i = p 1; stop. If i < p 1; then replace i with i + 1 and goto step 2. Lemma 8 If v 0 ; v 1 ; : : : ; v k is a shortest path, then v 0 ; v 1 ; : : : ; v j path for any j k: is a shortest Proof. If there were a shorter path from v 0 to v j ; then we could replace the current path with a shorter beginning and get a shorter path to v k : Let s prove that at the termination of the algorithm, ` (u) = d (u; u 0 ) : We will induct on i: Clearly, this is true for i = 0: We will make the following inductive hypothesis: For every u 2 S i ; ` (u) = d (u; u 0 ). We have the base case, so we need only prove the inductive step. Suppose it is true for S i : We must show that d (u 0 ; u i+1 ) = ` (u i+1 ) : Let P = v 0 ; v 1 ; v 2 ; ; v k ; where v 0 = u 0 and v k = u i+1 ; be a u 0 u i+1 -path such that d (u 0 ; u i+1 ) = (P ) : If v k 1 2 S i ; then the path P 0 = v 0 ; v 1 ; v 2 ; ; v k 1 is a shortest path and by the inductive hypothesis (P 0 ) = ` (v k 1 ) : Thus d (u 0 ; u i+1 ) = (P ) = ` (v k 1 ) + (v k 1 u i+1 ) ` (u i+1 ) 4
5 but since d (u 0 ; u i+1 ) is the minimum length path and ` (u i+1 ) is the length of some path, then we must have equality. Thus the inductive step is proven if v k 1 2 S i. We now show v k 1 2 S i : Take the smallest j such that v j =2 S i : Then since P j = v 0 ; v 1 ; : : : ; v j is a shortest path, we have, since v j 1 2 S i ; that ` (v j ) ` (v j 1 ) + (v j 1 v j ) = (P j ) (P ) ` (u i+1 ) : since ` (u i+1 ) = min f` (u) : u 2 Si c g ; that means that all of the inequalities are equalities and j = k (since P j = P ) and v k 1 2 S i : By the previous argument, we are done. We do not discuss the complexity of this algorithm. It turns out to be a good algorithm. 5

In thinking about our conversations and various moments this week, it seems to me that we are all moving into a new stage in our relationships. Our children seem more comfortable- with each other, with us, and with the land. They are taking risks in all of these areas and it is a joy to see. Children are feeling brave about sharing their ideas and feelings, pushing their own physical limits and reaching out to others in new ways.
We teachers are feeling a shift as well. The logistics of how we all move around this vast space, how we all move in our small changing area and how we all move in the Cottage are now fairly established and smooth. Now we can focus on building our relationships, curriculum development and dive deep into inquiries that emerge. At our staff meeting, we all became very excited as we realized that we are in this new place.

Sports Policy
In addition to the ESF 2017 General Policy, the following Sports Policy will apply to all Participants.
Rules and Regulations
1. Eligibility to participate
Please note that ESF 2017 is an event for members of the Ismaili community and their immediate non Ismaili family members. The Organisers reserve the right to refuse entry to specific events or activities or the whole part of ESF 2017.
For all age specific sports categories, participants must fall within the age group on Friday 14th April 2017 on the day the relevant sport is being played.
A date of birth is required in order for your entry form to be valid.
If any participant is found to be in contravention of the age restriction in the respective tournament, he/she and their team (if applicable) may be instantly disqualified.
2. Playing multiple sports at ESF 2017
The sports schedule has been designed to provide participants with maximum choice over the weekend. There are a range of sports to choose from and a wide variety of combinations that are possible. We hope that participants will encourage their friends and family to embrace the spirit of sporting excellence and compete in one or more of the sports on offer!
Participants are able to select one sport from each list set out in the schedule (please refer to the Sports Schedule).
3. Reasons for Disqualification
If any team is fielding an ineligible player, outside the age boundaries (within an age-restricted category), or if a player is sent off in any match/game or is found to be in any way abusive or disruptive, the team may be disqualified from the match, tournament and/or Festival. Disqualification at ESF 2017 may also lead to disqualification at future tournaments.
The ESF 2017 General Policy and relevant individual policies will be applicable to determine an outcome including the Sports Policy.
In addition to the above, each participant is responsible for checking their individual sports' Rules & Regulations applicable.
4. Time Management
The ESF 2017 Organisers would like to offer participants the following:
- A professionally run tournament with more choice than in the past
- A sports schedule minimising any possible clashes enabling participants to compete in a wide number of sports
- An efficient monitoring system which quantifies any delays / free time and where this information can be accessible by both participants and the ESF team at all times
- A greater sense of respect and understanding towards time management issues to make the experience for all sports participants as enjoyable as possible
It will be the responsibility of participants and captains (team sports only) to keep up to date with any changes to the scheduling. Late arrivals to original or revised schedules will NOT be tolerated under any circumstances and in such instances matches will be forfeited as described in the Rules and Regulations for each sport.
ESF 2017 General Policy and relevant individual policies will be applicable to determine an outcome including the Sports Policy.
5. Maintaining Close Links with Your Sport
For time management purposes, we request all sports participants who have not been eliminated, to remain in close proximity to their respective playing areas at all times (a professional stance will be taken with regards to time management). ESF 2017's sports scheduling is intended to be clash-free and enables participants to focus on one sport at a time.
The Organisers have endeavoured to arrange for a rapid turnover of games within each sport category in order that participants may still have plenty of free periods during the weekend to enjoy the vast array of other activities on offer as well as having the opportunity to spend time with family and friends.
6. Referees
Any and all decisions of the appointed referee are final. Under no circumstances should the decision of the appointed referee be disputed by a Participant or team. Should this happen, the referees may deal with it in any manner they decide is appropriate (including but not limited to issuing bookings and dismissal).
7. Delay Contingency Plans
In the event a sports category is delayed, Participants will play under contingency plans (e.g. changes in format and duration for individual games and matches), to allow for the timely completion of that sports category. This is essential in order that other sporting and non-sporting events at ESF 2017 can be set up and completed on time.
8. Sports Entries
Team sports entries must be fully complete unless "Player Finder" is being used by that team.
No Participant in a team can be replaced or swapped by a Participant who is already registered to play for another team for the same sport category.
Injured Participants can request to be replaced with unregistered players up until the injury deadline of Friday 7th April 2017. After this date no changes or additions will be permitted. All injury replacements are at the discretion of the Information Management Team and Organisers, whose decision is final.
Once a Participant has declared himself/herself unfit or has been removed from a team, they cannot re-enter to play for that team or any other team for that particular sport.
Teams must keep to the original number of players stated on the team captain's form i.e. if a team has a squad of seven, players cannot be added after the deadline to increase the size of the squad.
A player can only register to play for one team in each sports category. If a player is entered to play for more than one team, that player will immediately be disqualified from that particular sport and may also be disqualified from ESF 2017.
Team players can only be changed by the team captain.
9. Head Injury Policy
The Risk: Head injuries occur very frequently in amateur and professional sport and can lead to a concussion. We now understand that concussion is a very severe condition and can lead to life threatening injuries if it is not looked after properly.
Recently the Football Association (FA) published concussion guidelines for both amateur and professional football. We now know that all other injuries are more common after a head injury. We know that after concussion the brain can swell up a little and if there is any further injury to the head it can be life-threatening and lead to long term disability.
Whilst injuries such as these may occur more in contact-heavy sports such as Football and Basketball, the risks apply to every sport, and our policy is applicable across all sports.
Our policy: For any sport, if any referee or member of our policy unit deems that an athlete has suffered a head injury, that player will require a medical assessment. Following this assessment, if there are any signs of concussion, that athlete will have to leave the field of play and will not be able to compete further within that category at ESF 2017. That athlete will not be allowed to compete in any other sport/categories at ESF 2017 if they are due to compete later in the weekend.
The key to recovering from concussion is rest and the FA advise a minimum mandatory 14 –day rest period after such an injury. We really appreciate your co-operation with head injury assessments and if you are asked to leave the field.
10. Player Finder
The tremendously successful Player Finder service will once again be available to all participants at ESF 2017. All players / teams can request the ESF Organisers to find them teams / players / partners for any sport across the weekend. We especially encourage participants from Europe and those under 16 to make use of this service – your participation is of the utmost importance to the success of the event.
To make use of this service simply select the Player Finder option within your chosen sports category. Please ensure that your entry form is submitted by Friday 10th March 2017 in order to enable us to have a greater chance of matching you with a sports partner/team.
Player Finder details will be held on our database until a match is found based on a 'first come, first served' basis. We will then introduce both team/partner and player together by forwarding contact details of relevant parties enabling direct communication prior to the tournament.

South African scientists have stepped into a squabble over where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. They have declared that two Cape villages that are fighting for money from tourists visiting the "two oceans" point are both wrong - the oceans do not really meet anywhere, writes Karen MacGregor.
Some scientists have come down on the side of Cape Agulhas, a remote fishing village southeast of Cape Town on the southernmost tip of Africa. University of Stellenbosch geographer Larry Zietsman said: "Everybody knows that the two oceans meet at Cape Agulhas." Textbooks agree.
Cape Agulhas is angry that Cape Point, a spectacular spot closer to Cape Town, has for decades wrongly marketed itself as the oceans' meeting point. The villagers say this is "completely fallacious" and deprives Cape Agulhas of tourist earnings. The village has taken up the matter with the public prosecutor, tourism minister and tourism board.
Some 500,000 visitors trek to Cape Point each year, many of them believing that they can see a line where the oceans join. They generate an annual income of some Rs30 million (£3 million) that Cape Agulhas says it needs because the village is poor and not attracting tourists.
The International Hydrographic Organisation states that Cape Agulhas is where the warm Agulhas current, which pours down South Africa's east coast, encounters the cold Benguela current that sweeps up the west coast from the Antarctic.
But the issue is not that cut and dried. It is at Cape Point that east-coast fauna and flora end and west-coast varieties begin.
University of Cape Town oceanographers argue that where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet varies. Anthony Richardson, oceanographic researcher at the university, said: "It depends on shifts in the currents and other factors at any point in time."

This project won the International Open Competition for the redesign of Lieutenant Petrosino Park. The proposed design creates a programmatic, cultural and spatial connection between the park and its surroundings. A hanging garden extends from the facades of the surrounding buildings to a series of columns within the park. Neighboring residents are invited to participate directly from their homes in selecting, growing and planting the flowering vines and ivy that constitute the garden. Each willing participant shall have a planter box with cable connections installed below their window. The residents grow plants from the private domain to the public, while the city grows plants from the park toward the surrounding buildings; the plants meet over the street. This simple gesture provides animated patterns of light and shade at ground level, and a view of the street through a levitating tapestry of greenery and flowers from the windows above.
The existing 7000 square foot park is located at the intersection of Lafayette and Kenmare streets at the threshold between Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho. The framework of cables and columns provides an ideal structure for a variety of community interventions. The Italian community may cover the columns and cables with shimmering lights during the San Gennaro Festival or Christmas, while the Chinese could display colored lanterns and dragons for the Chinese New Year festivities. During the summer local artists may suspend projection screens for film and video festivals or create sculptural works that use the columns as a structural base. The design of the structure and landscape allows the park to function as a flexible extension of New York City's urban fabric, incorporating a variety of diverse contributions into an ever-changing collage of city culture and vegetation. The parkscape evolves from a projection of the surrounding building facades on to the ground-plane. Doorways, windows and other architectural features become planter boxes, seating, fountains and areas for rest or play, thus connecting the park to the communities' own cultural history through its architecture.
By using the sky plane as a garden, the design reduces noise and air pollution to the surrounding residences, puts planting out of the reach of vandals and adds a new level of interest from the ground level. Spatially the pergola serves to integrate the streets, sidewalks and building facades into the park, creating a kind of exterior room whose walls, floor, and ceiling are alive with the energy of the community. This is a living park, transformed each season by the imagination of its users.

Naphtha cracker project at Indian Oil's Panipat complex dedicated to nationFebruary 15th, 2011 - 7:48 pm ICT by ANI
New Delhi, Feb 15 (ANI): Rolling out the canvas for expansion of its operations through downstream integration into petrochemicals, India's largest Naphtha Cracker plant at Indian Oil's Panipat Complex was today dedicated to the nation by Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister S Jaipal Reddy.
Speaking on the occasion, Reddy said Naphtha Cracker is commissioned in 46 months, which compares with the Global standard for similar capacity plants and is ahead of average time taken in setting up similar units in India.
"Also, with the completion of the Petrochemicals Complex in Panipat, Indian Oil has crossed a major milestone in realizing its aspiration to emerge as an integrated and diversified company," said Reddy.
" Indian Oil has transformed from being a pure petroleum company to becoming a global energy player with a vision to become a globally admired energy leader as with capacity expansion of 1.5 MMTPA at Haldia and 3 MMTPA at Panipat, the refining capacity of Indian Oil has gone up to 54.2 MMTPA and group refining capacity has increased to 65.7 MMTPA - making Indian Oil the nation's number one refiner," he added.
Reddy expressed hope that with the commissioning of Grassroots Refinery at Paradip in 2012, the group refining capacity will further increase to 80.7 MMTPA and Indian Oil will continue to be the key leader in refining.
The petroleum sector in India is acting as a lighthouse to development. It provides the true impetus to progress and prosperity. Petroleum and Petrochemicals have been the indicator of growth of nations across the globe.
The naphtha cracker complex built at a cost of Rs.14, 439 crore will provide significant impetus to India's leading Fortune-500 Company's ambitious foray into petrochemicals. The naphtha cracker is designed to produce 800,000 TPA of ethylene.
The naphtha would be sourced from Indian Oil's Gujarat Refinery in western India and Panipat and Mathura Refineries in north.
The Naphtha Cracker Unit at Panipat will produce 800 KTA of Ethylene and 600 KTA of Propylene, which will act as feed for downstream polymer units like Polypropylene Unit (600,000 MTPA), Linear Low Density/ High Density Polyethylene Swing Unit (350,000 MTPA), High Density Polyethylene unit (300,000 MTPA) and Mono Ethylene Glycol unit (300,000 MTPA).
These polymer products will be used for manufacture of moulded plastic containers/barrels, heavy duty films, stretch wrap films, shopping bags, automobile parts, pipes and sheets, moulded furniture, Yarn and Fibre and many morehousehold and industrial items. (ANI)

We have measured the relative strength $\epsilon_dd$ of the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction compared to the contact interaction in a chromium Bose-Einstein condensate. We analyze the asymptotic velocities of expansion of a dipolar chromium BEC with different orientations of the atomic magnetic dipole moments. By comparing them with numerical solutions of the hydrodynamic equations for dipolar condensates, we are able to determine $\epsilon_dd = 0.159\pm0.034$ with high accuracy. Since the absolute strength of the dipole-dipole interaction is known exactly, the relative strength of the dipoledipole interaction can be used to determine the s-wave scattering length $a = 5.08\pm1.06\cdot10^-9 m = 96\pm20 a0$ of 52Cr. This is fully consistent with our previous measurements on the basis of Feshbach resonances.
