A "Tripartite Advisory on Managing Workplace Harassment" ("Advisory") has been issued on 23 December 2015 by the Singapore Tripartite partners (Ministry of Manpower, National Trades Union Congress and Singapore National Employers Federation). The Advisory is aimed at ensuring "a safe, healthy and harmonious workplace". It places the responsibility on employers and all persons in the workplace to prevent harassment at work and to take steps to manage and remedy the situation should harassment occur at the workplace.
What's covered
The Advisory covers harassment in any work-related places (whether inside or outside the office) & on any work-related occasions, such as at customers' premises & on business trips.
All persons at work are covered, including employees at all levels, contractors, interns, volunteers and customers.
All forms of harassment are covered, including bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination, stalking and threatening or abusive language or gestures, as are their different modes of communication including electronically via email, text message and social media. Drawing from the test in the Protection from Harassment Act (2014), harassment occurs when the victim reasonably experiences harassment, alarm or distress.
What's expected of employers & employees
Employers are advised "to foster a conducive & safe organizational culture" that guides employees and others in the workplace in the way they should work with each other, by:
- Establishing core values, including of mutual respect, people-centredness, empathy & support for colleagues, and cultural sensitivity;
- Developing a formal policy against workplace harassment, based on principles including zero tolerance for harassment, leadership commitment, holistic management of the risk of harassment as part of the employer's workplace safety and health risk management system; and early prevention;
- Providing information and training on workplace harassment, to ensure everyone in the organisation is familiar with the issue and plays an active role in preventing and reporting harassment;
- Implementing harassment reporting and response procedures (including whistle-blowing and investigation) based on principles including neutrality, confidentiality and non-retaliation.
Employees are expected to take charge of their personal safety, health and well-being at the workplace, by:
- Taking reasonable steps to protect themselves and keep away from potential harassment situations;
- If harassment occurs, resolving it by themselves if safe and reasonable to do so, or by immediately getting informal or formal help
What the Advisory means for employers
Although the Advisory is not law, the Advisory may well set the standard for employers' legal obligations at common law to provide a safe working environment, as well as under the Workplace Safety and Health Act (WSHA) to take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety and health of their employees and other persons at work. For a company which breaches the WSHA, the penalty is a fine of up to S$500,000, while its officers are liable to be prosecuted unless the officer proves that the offence was not attributable to his consent, connivance or negligence. If found guilty, the officer may be fined up to S$200,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 2 years.
Quite apart from legal liability, harassment in the workplace affects productivity, morale and working relationships, and can incur costs and negative publicity
With the spotlight on workplace harassment, employers should now implement formal anti-harassment measures as outlined in the Advisory, or review and refresh their existing anti-harassment protocols and training to ensure they are aligned with the Advisory.

AVON, OH (WOIO) - It's that time of year again to winterize your home before the snow starts to fall.
19 Action News checked out several things you can do to keep the warm air inside.
"A lot of people think that it's an intimidating long task that's going to be difficult, but, the reality is that once you get into it it's really fast," says Vageesh Bakhshi with Shurtech, the Avon company that makes the Duck Brand.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency you can save more than $200 a year on your heating costs alone.
"An average home spends $2,200 a year in their energy bills. They can save up to 10% of that if they effectively air seal their home," says Bakhshi.
You can start with your windows by using insulating film. All you need is the product and a blow drier to seal it tight.
A weather strip can keep the cold draft from creeping inside. The problem area is usually in the door jam. A special cover on your electrical sockets also saves.
Shurtech has a new gadget called an attic insulator that looks like a mini-tent. "Basically forms a dome above your attic staircase and keeps the warm air in," explains Bakhshi.
A couple of winterizing products and a couple of hours. Most agree that it is time well spent and money saved can help make the winter a little more bearable.

Designer Alexander Wang has officially reached a decade in the fashion business and to celebrate he created the #WANG10 capsule line that brings back popular bestselling pieces from the last 10 years. The collection is an eclectic mix of styles and designs, speaking to the various years that the garments are pulled from.
The #WANG10 collection was cleverly designed to invite fans of the brand to help decide what pieces should be brought back. The collection chose 25 top pieces that were bestsellers and then opened up the voting to social media asking fans which pieces they'd like to see brought back for purchase. The 2009 spring collection seemed to have the most favorites, with four pieces being selected. Each of the garments are edgy with fun textures like fridge and mesh.

S: Blue Skies and Summer
FC: Photos by Ed & Anita Baker Paul & Cora Winters | Blue Skies and Summer A Colorado Mountain Vacation
1: Forward (version 1.2) Cora and I met Rome, Georgia residents Ed and Anita Baker during the summer of 2008, when we shared a ride to photograph whitewater rafters on the Arkansas River. We seemed to hit it off pretty well, and we subsequently invited them to stay with us at our home in Silverthorne, Colorado, during their return to Colorado in 2009. Part of the 2009 trip included the four of us spending two nights in Crested Butte the week before their Wildflower Festival. This book is the result of that trip. The spring of 2009 was long, cloudy and unusually wet. Local residents were complaining for most of the month of June, as persistent gray skies produced almost daily rain. When summer weather finally arrived toward the end of the month, it brought blue skies, green foliage and spectacular wildflowers. For months, we had been looking forward to a summer trip to Crested Butte, an area known for scenery and flowers. We had arranged to rent a charming home in town for two nights, and spend the days with our friends and cameras in the backcountry. -Paul
3: They say it's "all in the angle". Here are some of the multiple contortions we went through in search of the ideal perspective. It made my back hurt! -Paul
4: Many parts of Colorado's forests have been decimated by the pine bark beetle, which kill the trees and leave square miles of forest dead and brown. But not here...at least not yet!
5: Kebler Pass Road is a long dirt road, which goes from Paonia Reservoir to Crested Butte. Along the way are some of the most spectacular aspen groves in the state. The wet spring made for very green undergrowth. You should see the leaves in autumn!
6: We never cease to be amazed by the aspen trees, the simple symmetry of the leaves and the groves where they grow. And yet, each has its own individuality - some seem to have eyes that watch you as you move among them. Some of the largest groves are in and near Crested Butte and espcially on the approach along Kebler Pass Road. -Ed
10: Previous page left: Lake Irwin, along Kebler Pass Road, not far from Crested Butte. Previous page right: approaching the Paradise Divide Above: larkspur Right: arnica
11: The columbine is the state flower of Colorado. In July it's everywhere in the forest understory and even in sunny fields. Columbine begin to bloom in late June around 9000 feet. By late July they're going to seed. But if you go up a couple thousand feet, you can still find blossoms in prime condition. Altitude is everything in Colorado.
13: "Colorado....everywere I go I'm in your shadow...." -Chuck Pyle (musician)
14: Top: arnica, which blooms from late May well into summer. Left: miniature forget-me-nots.
15: Some of the flowers surrounding our rented Crested Butte "home". If you come during the Wildflower Festival, you can even participate in garden tours around town. These folks take flowers seriously!
17: Left: we knew about this field of mules' ears from a class we took during the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival a number of years ago. The Paradise Divide is in the background. This year we drove backcountry roads and got fairly close to the Divide, which was still closed by last winter's snow. In July???? Yikes! -Paul Above, lupine and mules' ears in an open meadow along Kebler Pass Road.
18: The bright red cap on an otherwise drab bird identifies the male Cassin's Finch, a permanent resident of high altitude pine forests. What an incredible singer!
19: The yellow-bellied marmot...high-altitude relative of the ground hog, poses for Anita's camera. Below, a mule deer flees from the sound of the car near Lake Irwin.
20: Near Cottonwood Pass, at 12,000 feet, a tundra pond still has ice on it in early July. The wildflower season is just beginning at this altitude. Right: blue flax, Paradise Divide in the background.
22: "Twin Lakes", on the approach to Independence Pass, probably one of the most spectacular passes in Colorado.
23: Above: Paul & Cora, Independence Pass. A cloudy but calm day--lack of wind is a rarity at this altitude.
24: Above: view from near Lake Irwin. Flowers were everywhere. Some of them were very small, but if you put out the effort to get down close to look at them, even the very small views were specatcular.
27: Quiet... Quaint... Quirky... Fiercely independent with an almost indescribable charm all its own. These are words that come to mind when one visits the town of Crested Butte. People smile and wave to passersby on the street. Bicycle riders adorned in pink tutus wheel past you on their way to wherever Pink Tutu Riders go. Crested Butte is a step out of time...not quite the Twilight Zone but pretty close to it. ~Ed
28: Eclectic and high tech - from a wall laminated with different license plates as a paint scheme to an outhouse sporting solar panels. Definitely original...definitely Crested Butte! -Ed
29: The town of Crested Butte goes to great lengths to preserve the "old town" feel of its city. Residents must jump through all kinds of hoops to remove or modify any of its buildings. The result is mostly successful.
30: The "Rosy Finch House" in Crested Butte was a historical reproduction/new construction that was filled with the comfort and the charm of a bygone day. The front porch was a comfortable spot to sit and watch. It would be worth the trip even if you wanted to spend the whole time sitting there watching the world go by. Leave the iPod at home.
31: The backyard was an oasis of quiet and retreat.
32: The town of Crested Butte is picturesque. You feel as if you are stepping out of time. Bicycles are a main mode of transportation in and around the town. We saw some real gems. -Ed The last time I rode a bike with a coaster brake was fifty years ago! -Paul | Anita takes the "townie" bike on a quick spin. | "This isn't as easy as I remember it being." -Ed | Look Ma, No Hands! Look Ma, No Teeth!
33: So long 'til next year!

This is the almost hidden entrance to the Davanzati Hotel where we stayed for four nights while we were in Florence. It is located on a street near all the designer shops and within short walking distance to the main sights in Florence. You do have to climb 26 steps up to a small elevator that then takes you up to the lobby. I looked on climbing those steps as my justification for that extra scoop of gelato each day.
The main lobby is lovely and everyone at the desk was friendly and helpful. They even had iPads available for people to use if they wanted to check out places to visit or see the latest news. Each evening they lit candles and had a happy hour for the guests.
Our room was somewhat long and narrow. It had a twin bed and second bed that was a bit larger than a twin but not quite full size. There was nothing particularly unique about the decor of the room, but it was comfortable, cool, and quiet. (I believe the deluxe rooms have more updated decor.) The first night we had a difficult time connecting to the wifi while in the room. I mentioned it at the desk in the morning and they immediately checked it out and had it fixed when we returned later in the day.
The bathroom was modern and roomy. Pretty tile.
They had a ample breakfast in the morning with fruit, pastries, cereal, meats, cheeses, juice, and coffee/tea.
We found the Hotel Davanzati through the great reviews at Trip Advisor. It definitely met our expectations for comfort, location, and it is tops with service! A great choice for Florence if you are looking for a smaller hotel with a central location.

text: Photonic Lattice Inc. has introduced a line of photonic crystal elements for generating beams with axisymmetric polarizations at 1064 nm. The PLR-1064 polarizers and the LMR-1064 laser mirrors, and the PLA-1064 polarizers and LMA-1064 laser mirrors, all with a clear aperture of 5 mm, produce radial and azimuthal polarizations, respectively, from naturally polarized light. The SWP-1064 segmented wave plate produces both types of polarization, depending upon the orientation of linearly polarized incident light. Applications include microscopy, laser cutting, and optical trapping and lithography. The company says that the elements exhibit a high optical damage threshold and good heat tolerance.

Alternate Texts
Paper or plastic?
May 30, 2007 Booking Through Thursday
- Do you read e-Books?
- If so, how? On your computer, or a PDA?
- Or are you a paper purist? Why?
While I try to focus on using audiobooks now, ebooks have been a great alternate format for me since 2001 when I first found some Adobe Acrobat Reader ebooks. Adobe Acrobat had a "read aloud" function at that point, which helped me greatly.
In 2002 I found MicrosoftReader ebooks and also discovered the free version of the Overdrive Readerworks program for turning electronic texts into MicrosoftReader ebooks. Microsoft now has an add-in for Word which also allows you to make your own books quickly and easily. This can be a great way to store and use class notes for future use and study. These programs have improved dramatically over the years. MicrosoftReader has a text-to-speech function and now has many features that allow you to take notes, write in the margins, add bookmarks, and highlight text while you read. You can also view and search your annotations or markups from the annotations list, rather than flipping through the pages to find the bits you thought were important.
I also make use of the ebooks available through my public library which has a subscription to NetLibrary. This is a MARVERLOUS resource for those of us who have a hard time returning books to the library on time! The book checks ITSELF back into the library at the end of two weeks, so you never have to worry about it! Now how cool is THAT!
These ebooks are compatible with my screen reader software, JAWS, and also allow you to add your own notes which are saved on the system, even after the book is "returned" to the library. Additionally, my public library also has down-loadable eAudiobooks through NetLibrary which play on a variety of media players like Windows Media Player or Winamp and which also check themselves back in after two weeks.
With the progressive loss of my functional vision, I've been forced to go looking for alternate text formats. In the last two years, Rehabilitation Services for the Blind have provided me with the equipment and software to make my own electronic texts efficiently and at need. I do this by using a high speed scanner and the educational software program Kurzweil 1000. With practice, I can now scan a two hundred fifty page book in about 45 minutes. Kurzweil has some additional features which make it an excellent tool for anyone who needs or wants to work in electronic format. It allows me to skim books, reading only the first sentences of paragraphs, take notes, and add hyperlinks between sections of a book, so I can jump to related sections. This feature is somewhat like writing "see page 67 for another example" in the margins of a print book.
Several organizations have been creating online e-texts for many years now. Project Gutenberg has been around for decades provide plain "vanilla" texts, that is, electronic versions of texts in plain text or ASCII 2 format that any computer can display in any word processing program, even low-tech programs like notepad or very old programs. They are also expanding their collections to offer audio version of texts in Mp3 format; some are electronic audio like the ones I can make at home with the program TextAloud Mp3 and my AT&T Natural Voices. You can try a demo of these voices at the following page: http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php which is part of their research section. The demo at the Natural Voices homepage is currently down.
I've gathered a number of other sources for electronic texts, which I'll include in a list of links in the sidebar sometime in the next few days. I'll mention two of the free ones here. First, the Free E-Text Center at the University of Virginia provides more than 2,100 books in MicrosoftReader format, Palm format, or HTML. Many include the illustrations from the older versions of books or from the original classics such as A Christmas Carrol by Charles Dickens or Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This was one of the first electronic libraries using ebook formats for the general public.
My other favorite source for electronic texts is the Online Books Page at the University of Pennsylvania. These books are all in HTML format, but convert easily to MicrosoftReader format with the free add-in. Aspects of this Library that I really enjoy are the "Celebration of Women Writers Project," the "Banned Books Online" project, and their "Award Winners" project. They also have an extensive listing of free periodicals available on the web, many of which are strictly historical archives, like The Gentleman's Magazine 1731 – 1907 or The Galaxy which was an entertainment magazine from the mid-19th century which was eventually absorbed by Atlantic Monthly. People looking for free books should check the Microsoft site from time to time; one year, Microsoft gave away two books per month as a way to promote the use of MicrosoftReader – it was a great way to collect some very interesting books!
One source to purchase ebooks that I have found very reliable and quite reasonable in price is Fictionwise.com. Fictionwise offers membership discounts, newsletters, rebates, and of course, free and continuing storage of your books, should your hard drive crash or your download disappear in any other type of traumatic event, such as an over-enthusiastic spasm of the delete key [grin]. Books from Fictionwise come in MicrosoftReader, Palm, and Acrobat formats. They also have "multi-format" books which any computer can access without proprietary software. The majority of books (including the large sci-fi and fantasy collection) are current titles. If you are considering the purchase of any book that might be in the public domain, check the free sites first. It will be cheap at Fictionwise, less than $10, but if you can download it for free for a little effort – it will be worth it!
Originally, I read my ebooks on my Jordana PDA, which allowed me to magnify the font to a comfortable level and which remains the most portable format I have for electronic books. Now that I'm working on a laptop, I use it for most purposes, including reading ebooks, since it allows me to access more formats from the single device and use the complete programs. The MicrosoftReader for the PDA will not accept the text-to-speech add-in, so I can't have the PDA read aloud. This is very frustrating, and from time to time, I e-mail Mircosoft to hassle them about it, but so far, I haven't gotten a response!
My personal collection of electronic texts is increasing rapidly with the use of the high speed scanner. For those concerned with copyright issues, I can give you a bit of information. Most of the free online libraries are working from versions of books which have aged into the public domain. The public library service through NetLibrary has current novels and non-fiction books as well as classics, but this is a service the library pays to access, and the authors are paid just as when the library obtains a paper copy or audio copy of a book to lend. Because I am copying library books for my personal use only and need to scan them into an alternate text to access them, my personal collection does not violate copyright law, so long as I don't distribute the books to others.
Both Acrobat and Microsoft and other developers such as Franklin have been working on systems for allowing people to "loan" e-books to each other which would involve denying you access to the copy while someone else uses it, but none of the systems I've seen can be described as user-friendly. They are all clunky and often full of bugs by all reports, so I've not gotten into sharing my ebooks yet.
My house is still filled with actual paper books that I can lend out to others. While I've greatly reduced my purchase of paper books, it hasn't been eliminated. Some books I want for their maps and other materials which do not appear in audio versions or which don't show to advantage on the screen. Others are gifts or items I've acquired as part of my collection of older books. I particularly love to collect the "pocket books" which made up a significant part of my grandmother's library and are still handy to carry about. The age of the book adds to my pleasure in reading, as do many of the illustrations, and they make it worth my while to hassle with a magnifier. I love the connection with my grandmother and the history involved in collecting old books, and I've never shaken my love of the dusty, dry smell that comes from the leaves and collects in the back sections of the nearby university library [smile].
My "inner librarian" died a quick death when I first discovered the wonders of taking notes in the margins of books in college. She wasn't very reliable anyway, since most of my books from childhood include broken off corners, fudgesicle smears, and other indignities [grin].
As an educator myself, I encourage students to do "active reading" which involves a variety of ways of interacting with a text as you read, including note taking, highlighting, underlining, outlining on paper or in the margins, making use of paperclips, sticky notes or sticky flags, and, most especially, re-reading and THINKING about important passages whenever they are studying a text, rather than just reading for recreation. These activities appall many people raised in the strict traditions of not damaging books and not cracking the spines, but they can be a seriously important method of assisting readers in engaging with a text. Something seems to happen in the brain to help "set" the information, so it doesn't just wash through like much of the reading we do for pleasure.
I still find the connections made as I imprint my presence on a book by writing in the margins personally satisfying in a mystical way. Something about the visceral input from feeling the pen connect with and even break some of the paper fibers as I write makes the experience far more real and vivid than typing notes into a computer. Yet, I also realize that electronic texts allow others to engage in these activities without involving themselves in the depredations of book-damaging. And the electronic texts also allow me to continue in my chosen profession teaching English literature and composition. They are a marvelous addition to our resources, yet still I hope they never completely take over publishing.
Update: After reading a number of other entries in this Booking Through Thursday series, I wanted to let people know an important aspect of reading on the screen -- small or large.

100 Years Ago: Captain Scott and "Reptilian-Looking" Birds
The Terra Nova expedition of 1910–1913 tried to find evidence for Darwinian evolution. Image courtesy of Cherry-Garrard, Apsley, Project Gutenberg.
Joel Kontinen
Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) was a British navy officer known for his ill-fated expedition to Antarctica. He and his team lost the race to the South Pole and also lost their lives on the return trip.
On January 17th, 1912 they reached the Pole only to learn that Roald Amundsen and his team had already been there.
Their expedition also had an evolution connection. Three members of his team tried to find evidence for Darwinian evolution by examining penguin eggs.
According to New Scientist,
"Emperor penguins were thought to be primitive birds. The idea was to collect embryos and see if any vestiges of reptilian ancestry could be discerned in the various stages of development. If so, it would link reptiles to birds and make a strong case for Darwin's theory of evolution. Sadly, the men only collected three eggs and returned frost-bitten, battered and bruised."
However, no amount of eggs can prove the bird-reptile connection, which has enormous problems.
German zoologist Ernst Haeckel speculated that different species resemble each other during the early stages of their development. His embryo drawings have been used in textbooks for a century although they are known to be frauds.

Virtual Desktop Manager
0 downloads (last 7 days)
Four different desktops in one.
Detailed Analysis
By Raphael C.
In this way it is as if you had various screens in only one, and each one you can work with a different programme and have a different screen background. Although it consumes more resources of your PC, the outcome is very practical for not getting ourselves confused with the tab systems, or for specializing the type of work by desktops: in one we could have games, in another, text documents, in another multimedia tools.. It is very important that after installing the tools we open the icon in the task bar and manage the configuration. How many virtual desktops do we want? Do we put in a key for direct access to each desktop? Should the applications open in one desktops open in all of them, or should each desktop be independent? As a final note, it is worth noting that each time we tump to a desktop, the work in the others remains frozen until we return to them.
If you put the options to your taste, Virtual Desktop Manager is a simple and free way in which Windows offers us virtual desktops in our PC.

Like a loose bobbin come with me as I wind through the twists and tangles of quilting

Some finishes and beginnings
First there were five Christmas table runners that I started last September but didn't quite get finished in time for Christmas 2010. We've all been there, right? They were made with a Jelly Roll from a pattern by Tivoli Quilt Creations.
Then I made some little bags using up some Moda charm squares.
The pattern is from the Moda Bake Shop and can be found here. I used four different charm packs; Oasis, Summer Breeze, Antique Fair, and Collections for a Cause - Faith. The pouches took so few charms that I have plenty left over to make other items.
Oh and then there was the retreat block. When four of the blocks were put together and placed on point, they looked like this.
However, when several were placed on a design wall, look what happened.
The balance of the time was spent visiting and cajoling with fellow retreatees (is there such a word?). The retreat ended just in time to get organized for our Guild's first meeting of the 2011/2012 year.
Till the next time remember, Creative minds are rarely tidy.

I've been there with Christmas Projects and luckily there's a new Christmas every year! Love the propeller look of the red and white blocks.

I love the broken heart blocks too. I used to make things for family for christmas, but that weren't interested - really! so I have been let off the hook, although sometimes I wish I had someone to make those special things for.

YouTube - Thundercats Movie trailer (fanmade)
That was f-ing awesome.
Words cannot express the awesome.
oh wait one can, yeah!
The editing was amazing. Sauron as the Eye of Thundara and Garfield as Snarf made me lol.
Only way I knew it was fake was Lion-O as every male actor ever , and Snarfield, lol
Pretty neat...
Brad Pitt as Lion-O, Hugh Jackman as Tygra, and introducing, Garfield as Snarf.
The guy has a badass fake Superman trailer too. Not quite as polished as the Thundercats one, but it's still really creative. Hulk as Darkseid is awesome.
YouTube - Superman Reborn
wow. Ha that was pretty cool. Cheesy, but very creative.
Both look interesting if cheezy
Most innovative.
i lol'd at Hugh Jackman as Tigra.
I'd go see it.
I love this. Garfield as Snarf is hilarious.. Good work but I can't help but sit here and recall what each clip is really from. Chetarah is the speed girl from Heroes, Tygra is Wolverine from the x-men films, the ship crash is from Pitch black, the planet explosion is from Star Trek 6, Lion-O is from Troy, Vin Diesel is Panthro (more Pitch Black/Riddick clips), Jarah is the old knight from Last Crusade, WylyKit and Kat are Spy Kids.
Also saw some Galaxy Quest and Aliens shots fduring the Mummra clips. Also saw clips from Stargate and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
I'm pretty sure Cheetarah was the blue chick from Farscape.
The Cheetara clips were from Farscape. Gigi Edgley as Chiana.
The Heroes girl looks very similar. Brea Grant as Daphne Millbrook.
Those where amazing. Some guy with a PC manages to bodge together Superman trailer better than the entire last movie despite the millions spent on it, hilarious. I'd also go see Thundercats in an instant.
They did a very good job but it didn't sell me on the idea that a live Cats movie would be a good idea.
Well I never watched Farscape. So it was an easy mistake. They do look a lot alike. Especially the hair..

BRUNSWICK — State Rep. Mattie Daughtry, D-Brunswick, is recovering after being hit by a car while riding a bicycle on Federal Street, an incident that helped refocus attention on bike safety concerns.
Daughtry is on crutches following the May 6 crash. In an interview May 13, she said she did not wish to discuss the extent of her injuries.
The section of Federal Street where Daughtry was hit has been a center of attention before. Last year, the town spent $1,350 to paint new bike lanes and markings called "sharrows" on the half-mile stretch of road.
Daughtry was traveling north on Federal, in one of the sharrows, when she was hit by a car. Police said the driver who allegedly hit her, Gary Babine, 71, of Brunswick, did not see her while making a left turn from Green Street. He was issued a summons for failing to yield at a stop sign.
The charge is a civil violation, and comes with a $131 fine, according to Police Cmdr. Marc Hagan.
Rich Cromwell, co-chairman of the town's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, said Monday that probably "no amount of bike lanes or sharrows" could have prevented the collision because, he felt, negligence was involved.
"Getting the sharrows (on Federal Street) took about three years," he said. The important thing now "is to educate people" about sharing the road, he added.
Daughtry took a similar lesson from the experience.
"The biggest thing I've realized," she said, "is we all have to be mindful."
"Signage is a good thing … but a lot of it is publicity," she added.
Meanwhile, attorney Lauri Boxer-Macomber on Monday said "this (incident) was entirely preventable."
Boxer-Macomber is an attorney at Kelly, Remmel & Zimmerman in Portland, and part of the national Bike Law network. She is representing Daughtry in her collision case.
Regardless of bike lanes or sharrows, she said, "riders to have the right … to use the full lane."
"The key thing right now is really alerting the public to (that) fact," Boxer-Macomber said.
Area bikers were poised to reinforce that right Wednesday night with the annual Ride of Silence through Brunswick and Topsham. Each year, the Merrymeeting Wheelers Bicycle Club organizes the ride in memory of those hit or killed while riding.
This year, the ride is dedicated to 34-year-old Joseph Lamothe, of Lisbon, who was struck and killed while riding his bicycle on Route 196 in April.
Cromwell, a member of the club, said usually between 15 and 30 people attend the ride.
Brunswick state Rep. Mattie Daughtry was hit by a car while riding her bicycle on Federal Street May 6. The town last year painted new "sharrows" on the stretch of road to increase bike safety.

Take a look at the fifth generation of EPC's low voltage transistor
The low voltage GaN device market is increasingly important, and Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) is a major player in low voltage GaN-on-silicon high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) devices. 100V GaN HEMTs are a very new technology but they already compete with silicon transistors, especially in the field of megahertz high frequency applications.
System Plus Consulting has investigated the company's EPC2045 device, its latest driving 100V for applications such as single-stage 48V converters, USB-C data and power connectors, LiDAR sensors, point-of-load converters and loads in open rack server architectures.
With its new transistor and GaN epitaxy design, the EPC2045 achieves a breakdown voltage of 100V for a current of 16A at 25°C, and a very low RdsOn on-resistance of 7mΩ compared to the previous generation.
The chip-scale packaging of EPC products reduces the final device cost and decreases its inductance, bringing advantages not only with respect to competitors in GaN, but also silicon.
Compared to silicon transistors, GaN process developments have significantly lowered capacitance. This translates into lower gate drive losses and lower device switching losses at higher frequencies for the same on-resistance and voltage rating.
Based on a complete teardown analysis, the report also provides an estimation of the production cost of the epitaxy and the package.
The report also compares the new product with previous EPC devices and epitaxy and GaN Systems, Transphorm, Panasonic and Texas Instruments packaging. This comparison highlights the differences in design and manufacturing processes and their impact on device size and production cost.
Finally, the report shows a comparison between the standard 100V silicon MOSFETs and the EPC GaN-on-silicon HEMT.

I don't often have a healthy b option spare at the end of the day but when I do this is a great recipe to try. It uses the 35g of oats, a yoghurt and tonnes of fruit, so a great way to add lots of speed foods.
- 35 g rolled oats (Mine were gluten free)
- 3 eggs
- 1 pot of Muller Light (I used vanilla with choc chips)
- 1 tub of Quark
- Fresh fruit
Beat the eggs.
Stir in the oats and Muller Light
Spray a frying pan with Fylight and pour in some of the mixture. Cook for about 3 mins per side. They are really hard to turn over but they get easier to do as you practise.
Make a topping by adding Quark and fresh fruit.
Optional: 2 syns if you mix 11g Highlights hot chocolate to the quark and mix it up…delicious!

I don't know wether the Al Neil Trio is really the first Free Jazz group from Canada.
But this recent purchase is surely an extraordinary find for me.
Especially the vocalisations from Richard Anstey have won me over. And this is true despite my general aversion for lyrics/poems et. al. "attached" to music.
But that's not the whole story. The integration of field recordings in the process of improvisation and the general musical prowess of the trio makes for an engaged listening experience.
In my book this double CD is THE reissue (out-of-five) of 2016, albeit released already in 2002.
It will be available as long as stock lasts. You can get it here as download or as the complete package including liner notes and reminiscences from a.o. Eugene Chadbourne, Milo Fine and Al Neil.
The first free jazz group in Canada:
Al Neil - piano, zither, vocals, miscellaneous instruments;
Richard Anstey - acoustic bass, soprano sax, vocals, toy instruments;
Gregg Simpson - drums, percussion, toy instruments, sound collages
Includes 30 page booklet with reviews and photos.

The Healing Power of a Single Scream
Related articles: Tinnitus
Healthy Choices Privacy Policy
Healthy Choices Disclaimer
by Neva J. Howell unless otherwise noted
The scream heard round the world
The scream heard 'round the world…..
Or at least, that's how it felt to me.
I know I'm a week late in posting my response from a show I saw last week. I meant to post the next day……oh, well.
Anyway, I felt it should be acknowledged, the healing and transformative power of a scream that is bigger than the body.
The show is Desperate Housewives.
If you saw the episode about the tornado, you surely know the scream I mean.
Did huge emotion get released from your own gut and throat when Felicity Huffman screamed, the way it did from my own gut and throat?
Wow. As a performance artist myself, I've always appreciated the power of believable acting to transform and heal. This was one moment in tv history when all my beliefs were affirmed.
It was as if Felicity channeled the agony and disbelief of every person who has ever lost all they owned to a tornado. In a different way, I feel Adam Sandler did something similar for those who have suddenly lost someone they loved in the film Reign on me.
Felicity's scream was even more powerful for me, personally, because we had just had a tornado about 20 miles from my home about a week before and the devastation had been on the news a lot. I thought of the people in Indonesia and all those in New Orleans after Katrina… that same scream must have been in their throats.
In a way I can't quite articulate, Felicity Huffman did a great thing that Sunday night. I'm grateful for her willingness to allow such a powerful emotional response to emerge from her,
with force and precision, as witness to all those who have lost their homes in an instant, from nature in violent breath.
You can hear the scream I speak of on youtube, at about 5:02 in on this video Desperate Housewives Tornado Aftermath
In my own experience, it is not the scream that hurts us when we are in trauma….oh no, it is the holding back from screaming, the pushing down of cellular release. Holding back the scream, in any traumatic situation that threatens our hold on reality, is what most of us tend to do. Anything that can help the world release those held back screams is healing, in my opinion. Anything that can help us transmute the physical impact of trauma on the senses may also help us transmute the aftermath of trauma.
Thank you, Felicity.

Mix it, roll it, bake it, put all your love in it - Cake... such a simple thing that brings so much happiness and appreciation to others. Here I'll post you my favourite recipes, baking tips, and photos of my cakes for you all to drool over. I hope that you will be inspired to try some of my recipes yourself.
Lemon Pudding
50g unsalted butter, softened
100g caster sugar
finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 eggs, separated
30g plain flour
300ml milk
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest until pale and fluffy. Stir in the egg yolks.
Sift the flour into the mixture and stir until smooth, then add the milk little by little. Stir in the lemon juice (don't worry if it looks split, it's meant to do that).
In a clean glass or metal bowl whisk your egg whites until stiff, then gently fold them into the mixture using a metal spoon until no lumps of egg white remain.
Pour the mixture into a baking dish, making sure to put your mixing bowl as close to the dish as possible as you pour so that you don't lose any air bubbles.
Bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown and crispy on top, it should still have a good wobble to it. Serve straight from the oven. You can eat it on it's own or with cream for a bit of extra decadence.

text: Hi all....for the last number of months I have been experiencing constant dizziness....not vertigo (the room doesn't spin) I feel like I'm in a bit of a daze, line I've just got off a roller coaster or something...spaced out and dizzy. I've had an mri scan of my brain recently which thankfully was clear...except for a cyst in my left sinus cavity. My thyroid is a little all over the place at the moment and my Tpo is 978 I'm wondering, can high Tpo cause dizziness???? My TSH is elevated at 5.89 bad my ft4 is at the high end of the range at 21. I'm unsure of my ft3 as there was a little dispute on that last week so I'm just waiting for lab results....I'm just curious if any of you have experienced this???? Alongside this constant dizziness I'm having anxiety test I know isn't helping...I'm now wondering is it all anxiety???? But in my heart I know it's not...I know I'm anxious because of how I feel. I'd really appreciate any advice you all may have...I'm finding this the hardest "symptom"....I can cope (barely) with the palps, neck pain, joint/muscle pain etc, but I feel my doc is fobbing me off as being anxious when I don't believe so. Thank you xxx

Open Post: Hosted By Joe Manganiello's Junior High School Basketball Picture
Giving us some Stephen King meets Hilary Swank as Brandon Teena…
I know the story goes that hot piece Joe ManJello was created when Sylvester Stallone fed one of his bulging arm veins a steady supply of steroids, Chia pet seeds, Muscle Milk and wolf jizz. But Joe ManJello was once a scrawny boy in hipster glasses who weighed about as much as a Victoria's Secret model. ("Did you just fucking call me fat, you dumb whore?" – every VS model) In Joe ManJello's new fitness book, he shares the above picture of him as a skinny junior high school basketball player and then writes about how he went from that to this:
The easiest way to go from Stand By Me extra to humanized Tom of Finland action figure is to swallow an inflatable muscle suit, but Joe ManJello did it the other way. Joe worked out, ate a lot of protein, worked out, worked out, worked out, worked out, worked out, worked out, worked out and worked out before working out. I'm sure somewhere in between working out and working out, Joe opens his mouth wide, sticks his ass out and as one assistant injects HGH into his nalgas another assistant sprays ten gallons of supplements into his eating hole. Joe says that anybody can get ripped like him if you put your mind to it.
"Most people think they're working out really hard, but when I see them at the gym, they're lazy! They're on the phone, they're mindlessly pedaling, and so they're just getting middle-of-the-road results. This book is designed to take away people's excuses. I was not blessed with the genes to put on muscle weight. I've never touched a steroid. I had to bust my ass."
That last line. Too easy. I'm not going to touch it. And I'm not going to touch the "I'm not going to touch it" line I just typed. But really, instead busting my ass, I'd rather bust other things while watching Joe ManJello bust his ass. Besides, somebody has to sit on the couch and inhale an entire bag of gingerbread cream cookies and I like being that somebody.
And on the cover of his book, Joe ManJello's body looks like a greasy paper bag overstuffed with hot peanuts. I'd hit it and I wouldn't even mention his schnoz job while doing so.

As part of the DFID-funded Pro-Poor HPAI Risk Reduction Project, a qualitative risk assessment was conducted for risk questions agreed during a stakeholder workshop in November, 2008, related to transmission of HPAI H5N1 between small-scale commercial broiler farms in the District and Municipality of Bogor. The overall risk of transmission was assessed as low, and risk estimates for the different pathways range from negligible to low. The risk associated with movement of contaminated visitor and equipment exchange was assessed as the highest. The risk of transmission via free-ranging poultry and wild birds was assessed negligible to very low, while via other pathways was assessed as negligible. It is important to note that the risk was estimated low because of a conditional probability effect (risk of infection/prevalence of HPAI H5N1 in small-scale broiler farm when data were collected was low). However, there are many steps/mechanisms of transmission associated with higher risk. It is highlighted that increasing prevalence of HPAI H5N1 in broiler farms will lead to increasing of risk of transmission. All risk estimates, except the one considering transmission via manure, were associated with a high uncertainty because of the lack of data on both the poultry sector in Indonesia and the epidemiology of HPAIV H5N1 more generally.

Each day throughout July, I'll share with you a piece of classical music. Thirty-one days, thirty-one pieces.
The list is by no means definitive, nor is it necessarily a list of all of my favorite music from the classical world. Every morning, I start my day with music that inspires me in some way, whether I'm inspired by its happiness, its loneliness, the instrumentation, the harmony, the colors, the melody -- each piece is special in some way -- and offers an opportunity to either hear something you've never heard, or hear something new in a piece you've known your whole life.
Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No. 5 in C minor, 1st movementIf I could only listen to one symphony for the rest of my life, it would be this very symphony, no matter how much I love symphonies by Haydn, Brahms, Gorecki, Berlioz, Borodin, Glasunov, Sibelius, Mahler, Bruckner, Schubert, Schumann, and more they all take a (very closely situated) backseat to Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
In truth, I encourage you to set aside about 30 minutes and listen to it in its entirety. Here's the thing about Beethoven's Fifth Symphony: it's such recognizable music for such a large portion of the population nearly everyone has heard it in some context. Sometimes that ubiquity denies its genius, or at least that ubiquity enables us to overlook Beethoven's genius with ease. The more we've heard it, the less we tend to pay attention to it.
This symphony is as close to perfection as music can achieve while still being thrilling, engaging, innovative and adventurous. The entire first movement in fact the entire 30 minute symphony is based off of those first four notes you hear. Short-short-short-lonnnnng. I've included this particular YouTube video because the creator of it, Stephen Malinowski, makes a graphic representation of the music so you can literally watch those four notes fly by throughout the entire movement. If you're interested in picking up a set of all of Beethoven's symphonies (he wrote nine of them), I recommend John Eliot Gardiner and the Revolutionary and Romantic Symphony. That ensemble is a period orchestra that plays on instruments similar to what Beethoven would've heard. If you prefer a more "normal" orchestra, definitely listen to Osmo Vänskä's masterful recordings of the symphonies with the Minnesota Orchestra.

the ten commandments of playing guitar…
1. Listen to the birds. That's where all the music comes from. Birds know everything about how it should sound and where that sound should come from. And watch hummingbirds. They fly really fast, but a lot of times they aren't going anywhere.
2. Your guitar is not really a guitar Your guitar is a divining rod. Use it to find spirits in the other world and bring them over. A guitar is also a fishing rod. If you're good, you'll land a big one.
3. Practice in front of a bush. Wait until the moon is out, then go outside, eat a multi-grained bread and play your guitar to a bush. If the bush dosen't shake, eat another piece of bread.
4. Walk with the devil. Old Delta blues players referred to guitar amplifiers as the "devil box." And they were right. You have to be an equal opportunity employer in terms of who you're bringing over from the other side. Electricity attracts devils and demons. Other instruments attract other spirits. An acoustic guitar attracts Casper. A mandolin attracts Wendy. But an electric guitar attracts Beelzebub.
5. If you're guilty of thinking, you're out. If your brain is part of the process, you're missing it. You should play like a drowning man, struggling to reach shore. If you can trap that feeling, then you have something that is fur bearing.
6. Never point your guitar at anyone. Your instrument has more clout than lightning. Just hit a big chord then run outside to hear it. But make sure you are not standing in an open field.
7. Always carry a church key. That's your key-man clause. Like One String Sam. He's one. He was a Detroit street musician who played in the fifties on a homemade instrument. His song "I Need a Hundred Dollars" is warm pie. Another key to the church is Hubert Sumlin, Howlin' Wolf's guitar player. He just stands there like the Statue of Liberty-making you want to look up her dress the whole time to see how he's doing it.
8. Don't wipe the sweat off your instrument. You need that stink on there. Then you have to get that stink onto your music.
9. Keep your guitar in a dark place. When you're not playing your guitar, cover it and keep it in a dark place. If you don't play your guitar for more than a day, be sure you put a saucer of water in with it.
10. You gotta have a hood for your engine. Keep that hat on. A hat is a pressure cooker. If you have a roof on your house, the hot air can't escape. Even a lima bean has to have a piece of wet paper around it to make it grow.

the unbuildable Temple of Death…
'One night in the mid 1790s the architect Etienne-Louis Boullée took a walk in the forest at full moon. Suddenly he noticed his own shadow moving among those of the trees. 'What did I see?' he wrote in his memoirs. 'A mass of objects detached in black against a light of extreme pallor. Nature seemed to offer itself, in mourning, to my sight.' Boullée began to imagine an architecture of naked walls, 'stripped of every ornament… light absorbing material should create a dark architecture of shadows, outlined by even darker shadows'.
A taste for the monumental unadorned tombs of the Pharaohs may have been prevalent at the time but it was probably no coincidence that Boullée dreamed up his Temple of Death (c. 1795) shortly after Robespierre's Terror had forced him to withdraw from Parisian public life. His earlier design for a Monument to Sir Isaac Newton (c. 1785) is like a giant, unadorned white balloon, about to rise skyward. The Temple of Death, in total contrast, is sunk into the ground. It looks like a photographic negative, and its ornamentation is a mere punched-out absence – a series of black, square window openings. What was new about Boullée's design was that instead of being based on living nature it was based on nature's fleeting, distorted image: its shadow. What Boullée imagined was a monolithic plainness, dark surfaces swaying between flatness and endless depth. More than just romantic horror vacui, this was a premonition of the plain, smooth surfaces that would embody the rationalization of space in the dawning Industrial Age.
'In the Modern Age it is usually the kaleidoscopic, shiny surfaces of the objects surrounding us that are most eloquent about our desires and fears. The indifferently plain, matt, monochrome, silent surfaces ubiquitous in modern society – industrial finishes in black, grey and anthracite; polished steel, sheets of plaster, pressed wood, plastic and aluminium; walls, streets, machines – are silently taken for granted as being neutral amid the glittering turmoil. Ever since Boullée, however, the reality has been that plain surfaces are not simply neutral objects in social space, but the very materialization of that space.' — Jorg Heiser, Frieze
Boullée promoted the idea of making architecture expressive of its purpose, a doctrine that his detractors termed architecture parlante ("talking architecture"), which was an essential element in Beaux-Arts architectural training in the later 19th century. His style was most notably exemplified in his 'Project for a Cenotaph for Isaac Newton', which would have taken the form of a sphere 150 m (500 ft) high embedded in a circular base topped with cypress trees. Though the structure was never built, its design was engraved and circulated widely in professional circles.
'Newton's cenotaph was designed to isolate, to reinvent, the huge movement of time and celestial phenomena. Inside, the viewer is isolated too, on a small viewing platform. Along the top half of the sphere's edges, apertures in the stone allow light in, in pins, creating starlight when there is daylight. During the night a huge and otherworldly light hangs, flooding the sphere, as sunlight. During the day, the "night effect." During the night, day.' — The Ingoing
Boullée's 'Monument intended for tributes due to the Supreme Being' is an expression of the metaphorical, emotional, and symbolic aspects of the architecture's purpose. Function, shape, setting, lighting, and even scent were all considered in an effort to realize the unique character of the monument within a defined aesthetic environment. Boullée believed that a building's "character" should be poetic and evoke an appropriate feeling in those who experienced it. For example, the strong use of symmetry in his drawing – not only in the buildings, but in the pyramid-shaped mountain as well – is intended as an image of clarity, order, and perfection. The monument thus becomes a metaphor for the divine nature of the Supreme Being. In a passage of his treatise Boullée also describes the setting for this monument:
'…the whole would be decorated with all that is most beautiful in nature; the buildings would be mere accessories, the base of the repository formed by a superb open-sided Temple crowning the mountain top. The Temple precincts would consist of fields of flowers exuding their sweet smell like incense offered to the Divine Being… This beautiful place would be the image of all that ensures our well-being; it would fill our hearts with a sense of joy and would be for us a true earthly Paradise.' — James Wehn, My Art Canon
Boullée's ideas had a major influence on his contemporaries, not least because of his role in teaching other important architects such as Jean Chalgrin, Alexandre Brongniart, and Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand. Some of his work only saw the light of day in the 20th century; his book Architecture, essai sur l'art ("Essay on the Art of Architecture), arguing for an emotionally committed Neoclassicism, was only published in 1953. The volume contained his work from 1778 to 1788, which mostly comprised designs for public buildings on a wholly impractical grand scale.
'Boullée's fondness for grandiose designs has caused him to be characterized as both a megalomaniac and a visionary. His focus on polarity (offsetting opposite design elements) and the use of light and shadow was highly innovative, and continues to influence architects to this day. He was "rediscovered" in the 20th century.' — Helen Rosenau
In Peter Greenaway's 1987 film The Belly of an Architect, the main character Stourley Krackite is not only obsessed with celebrating an architect (Etienne-Louis Boullee) who never finished a building, but he is also consumed with representations of the body part whose rebellion will lead to his eventual demise: his belly. Kracklite photocopies the stomachs of representations of architectural greats (the emperor Hadrian, Boullee) and draws his ailments in order to illustrate his pain for his doctors. Kracklite's fascination with Boullee seems appropriate in that it mirrors his own creative impotence; in the scene in which Kracklite catches Caspasian in the act with his wife, one cannot tell if he is enraged because his conjugal property is being stolen, or because Caspasian is using his model of a Boullee lighthouse as an enlarged surrogate phallus.
'The fact that his two image obsessions somewhat mirror each other in form (as the repeated form in Boullee's sketches is a dome quite reminiscent of Kracklite's bloated belly) marries his creative life and impending death and solidifies the reality that it is likely Kracklite will go the way of Boullee and die without many major constructions to carry his image forward into the future.' — Caitlin Mae Verite
celebrating 33 years of public art…
Borrowing a title from the New York Dolls, "One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This", seems exactly appropriate for Creative Time's citywide project that celebrates places and events that marked our lives over the past three decades. Who cares where Eleanor Roosevelt slept? This is where Gordon Matta-Clark opened his SoHo Restaurant FOOD; where there was a sandy beach in Manhattan for 7 years; and where the Mudd Club once ruled the night!
This May as Creative Time celebrates 33 years of transforming the city with public art, we are installing plaques at 33 sites chosen by a range of artists and writers, who have made a mark on New York themselves, granting these sites the legacy and prestige that only a public plaque can denote.
Lest the city's artistic legacy be erased by the ever-proliferating chain stores and condos, Creative Time, in its signature irreverent yet thought-provoking way, is giving the public an art project that celebrates NYC's contemporary cultural history. Appropriating the formal language of plaques ("At this place once stood…") each plaque will have a short explanation of the site, project(s), artists, title and date, the telephone number to call for an audio story, and the person who chose the site.
The plaque project will be expanded to a virtual map of the city on creativetime.org to include the many additional sites we couldn't physically mark. The general public will be invited to participate and propose sites that they deem worthy of a plaque.
Submissions can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com…
Below is a list of 32 plaque locations also listed and mapped on creativetime.org.
• DOWNTOWN DRIVE-IN (Edison Parking Lot @ John and Front St) • CUSTOM AND CULTURE (Old US Customs House, Bowling Green) • FUN GALLERY (229 East 11th St) • LINCOLN CENTER (Construction Wall near Vivian Beaumont Theater) • PLAIN OF HEAVEN (820 Washington St. – SE corner of building) • SONIC GARDEN (Inside the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center) • DREAMLAND (1208 Surf Ave – next to entrance of Dreamland Artists Club) • TRIBUTE IN LIGHT (Fence of new Goldman Sachs Building) • BATTERY MARITIME (7 South St. – Gate closest to SI Ferry Terminal) • BLACK SHEEP (First Park, 1st St. and 1st Avenue) • SURVIVAL RESEARCH LABS (Shea Stadium, wall north of Gate C) • FISCHLI AND WEISS (Times Square, Astrovision Screen) • PROJECTS AT THE PRECINCT (NYC Police Museum, Old Slip) • JENNY HOLZER – ST. JOHN (St. John Cathedral, 10th St. and Amsterdam Ave) • LOCAL FREQUENCIES (Muddy Cup, Staten Island) • GRAND CENTRAL/MURAKAMI (Central kiosk in Vanderbilt Hall) • LEAP (2 Columbus Circle) • TOUCH OF SANITATION/MIERLE (One Gansevoort Pier, Pier 52) • EVERYBODY/42ND STREET (North face of 7 Times Square) • THE HELLFIRE CLUB (675 Hudson St, on the opposite side of the building) • LIGHT CYCLE (Around the reservoir in Central Park) • COMBAT ZONE (Now a boutique called Seven, 110 Mercer St) • DAY'S END (Also at Gansevoort Pier) • STRANGE POWERS (64 East 4th St.) • NEEDLE EXCHANGE (953 Southern Boulevard, Bronx) • MAX'S KANSAS CITY (213 Park Ave. South / 2213 Park Avenue) • ART ON THE BEACH (Battery Park City Landfill) • ART ON THE BEACH (Midway to Hudson River Park) • FOOD – Gordon Matta-Clark and Carol Gooden's Restaurant (northeast corner of Prince and Greene, 127 Prince Street) • THE MUDD CLUB (77 White Street) • ART IN THE ANCHORAGE (The Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage, Dumbo) • THE 59TH MINUTE: VIDEO ART (Astrovision Screen, 1 Times Square)

Parisian hospital break room graffiti…
Concealed within several of Paris' hospitals, strange paintings give testimony to one of France's most singular subcultures. In The Obscene Image, photographer Gilles Tondini has documented these frenzied frescos, created by medical interns who use hospital break rooms to let off steam and maintain sanity as they work to save lives. The break rooms—known as salles de garde—the interns ignore the rules of decorum observed throughout the rest of the hospital, and create a new order—in the name of maintaining traditions, and, of course, to relieve stress.
Graphic, sexually charged, saturated with color and lewd references, these little known images manifest all the frustrations, stresses, highs, and lows that medical professionals anywhere must deal with in their quests to keep people healthy. The manic murals provide visually compelling insight into how the medical professionals of 12 hospitals around metro Paris struggle to keep their minds healthy and their connection to their peers alive. Along with all of its sexual content, the imagery in The Obscene Image draws from cultures high and low, ancient and modern. Nothing, from the Bible's Last Judgment and chivalric tales to comic book heroes and villains, is too sacred to be farced.

The veteran FBI agent removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team after the discovery of potentially anti-Trump messages also played a key part in former FBI director James Comey's controversial announcement last year laying out the FBI's findings in its probe of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, according to a U.S. official with knowledge of the matter.
Interested in Russia Investigation?Add Russia Investigation as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Russia Investigation news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
Specifically, FBI agent Peter Strzok weighed in on drafts of Comey's July 5, 2016, remarks, recommending that Comey not describe Clinton's actions as "grossly negligent" but instead as "extremely careless," according to the official.
As Comey noted at the time, under U.S. law it is a felony to mishandle classified information "in a grossly negligent way."
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information," Comey said then.
Relevant internal FBI records were turned over to the Senate Judiciary Committee months ago, the official told ABC News.
For months, the Justice Department's inspector general has been looking into "whether certain underlying investigative decisions" related to the 2016 presidential election "were based on improper considerations," including "issues that might arise during the course of the review," according to a statement from the inspector general's office on Saturday.
In August, ABC News first reported that Strzok, tapped only weeks earlier by Mueller to help lead the probe of Russian meddling in last year's presidential election, had left Mueller's team. Details about the sudden departure were elusive at the time.
But, as initially reported Saturday by The Washington Post and The New York Times, Strzok sent messages during last year's presidential campaign to a colleague that some believe could be interpreted as critical of then-candidate Donald Trump.
It's unclear if the messages continued after Trump became president and after Mueller was appointed as special counsel in May. Strzok and the person he was texting, identified by The Washington Post as FBI veteran Lisa Page, both ended up on Mueller's team.
Strzok has spent much of his law enforcement career working counterintelligence cases and has been unanimously praised by government officials who spoke with ABC News. He is now working for the FBI's human resources division.
"Immediately upon learning of the allegations, the special counsel's office removed Peter Strzok from the investigation," Mueller spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement Saturday. "Lisa Page completed her brief [assignment] and had returned to the FBI weeks before our office was aware of the allegations."
The Justice Department's inspector general has been looking into Strzok's actions and indicated in a statement today that the review is part of broader investigations announced in January of how the FBI and Justice Department have handled matters associated with the 2016 presidential election.
"The allegations that the inspector general has confirmed are part of his ongoing investigation, if proven to be true, would raise serious questions of public trust," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in the statement. "I look forward to receiving the inspector general's report. We will ensure that anyone who works on any investigation in the Department of Justice does so objectively and free from bias or favoritism."
He added that he asked the inspector general to complete the report "as soon as possible" because the "American people deserve answers."
As chief of the FBI's counterespionage section last year, Strzok helped oversee the FBI's investigation related to Clinton, and he took part in the bureau's interview of her.
Within weeks of the end of the Clinton probe, Strzok found his office facing a new challenge: investigating Russia's efforts to influence last year's presidential election, including the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers.
CNN first reported Strzok's role in changing language associated with Comey's remarks last year.
