ad policy to move policy forward when you havent done the investigation work it takes to do that. Ive shared that with both Mr. Posey and Mr. Kilmer.
On the issue of relations with Russia and their effect on space cooperation, Edwards said previous concerns had eased. What Ive learned since then is that theres been actually quite a separation between going on at a political level versus whats going on on a daytoday basis in terms of our space operations and I think thats a good thing, she said. I do feel more more confident, frankly, than I did a couple of months ago that the political devolution has not turned into a space devolution.
She added, though, that she didnt necessarily object to investing in development of an RD180 replacement. I havent come to a conclusion about that. I never think its particularly harmful for the United States to make certain that it has the independence of its own operations and capacity.
She also expressed interest in enhancing cooperation with China in space, while recognizin |
g there are obstacles to doing so. China is less of a partner, and I think that needs to change, she said. It would be better to have them in fold in our civil development than not.
There are some issues with the Chinese that we have to get resolved, like the theft of intellectual property before such cooperation would be possible. And when could that happen? Not this Congress.

Bolden skeptical about prospects for NASA authorization bill this year
By Jeff Foust on 2014 July 30 at 1029 pm ET
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said Wednesday he is not optimistic that Congress will pass a NASA authorization bill this year, and expects to start the 2015 fiscal year on a continuing resolution CR.
Bolden, speaking at a meeting of the NASA Advisory Council NAC at the Langley Research Center in Virginia, said he was more optimistic about the prospects of an authorization bill last month, when the House passed its version of the legislation on a 4012 vote. That was not lost on me |
, he said of the margin of passage. My navet caused me to believe that, boy, things are going to change.
However, the Senate has yet to take up the House bill or even introduce its own version. They have talked off and on about an authorization bill, but we dont see any serious movement there right now, he said, adding that Congress was about to go on its summer recess and not return until early September. I am not optimistic that we will get an authorization bill until 2015.
On the appropriations side, Bolden said that that the increase in funding offered in the House bill over the administrations request was a very pleasant surprise for all of us. He added that he was disappointed the bill didnt fully fund commercial crew, offering 785 million versus the requested 848 million, but well take it. He added he was also concerned about cuts in the bill in the request for Space Technology.
The Senates version of the appropriations bill provides similar funding levels, but has stalled out on the Senate floor becau |
se of unrelated issues. Theres a strong possibility that the federal government could be funded through a continuing resolution for a period of time during fiscal year 2015, he said. Reports suggest that a CR would fund the government at least past the November elections.
Thats a setback after the progress made though last month indicated a chance the appropriations would become law before the fiscal year begins on October 1. Once again, weve snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, Bolden said. Everybody was really excited and looking forward to a really healthy budget.
Bolden also offered a bit of news about the ongoing review of proposals submitted to the next round of the commercial crew program, Commercial Crew Transportation Capability CCtCap. Our progress on commercial crew source selection deliberations has been evidently better than we anticipated, he said. He said that those awards would come much sooner than later this year, but was not more specific. NASA officials have generally said over the la |
st few months that the CCtCap contract or contracts would be announced in August or September.
Panel sees ASTEROIDS Act as step in right direction for space property rights
By Jeff Foust on 2014 July 29 at 610 am ET
A bill introduced in the House earlier this month that establishes property rights for resources taken from asteroids is not perfect, but a step in the right direction towards a broader resolution of property rights in outer space, a conference panel argued last week.
The American Space Technology for Exploring Resource Opportunities in Deep Space ASTEROIDS Act of 2014, introduced in the House earlier this month by Reps. Bill Posey RFL and Derek Kilmer DWA, would establish that resources obtained from asteroids are the property of the company or other entity that extracted them. It would also provide freedom from harmful interference for those entities subject to US law engaged in asteroid mining.
They designed it not to cause too many explosions or conflicts or problems, said Jim Muncy, a cofound |
er of the Space Frontier Foundation, during a panel session on space property rights at the organizations NewSpace 2014 conference Friday in San Jose, California. The bill was crafted, he said, to ensure it remained in the jurisdiction of the House Science Committee. He added that the bills sponsors also discussed the bill with State Department officials to find out whether or not it would be a big problem for current US international obligations and policy. Thats one reason, he said, that the bill only covers asteroids and not the Moon or other solar system bodies.
The idea of establishing property rights for extracted resources is not considered particularly controversial. Panelists noted that samples returned from the Moon by the Apollo missions, and Soviet Luna robotic missions, are considered the property of those nations. We know that from the precedent of the Moon rocks, said Berin Szoka, president of think tank TechFreedom, noting that some of those samples have been gifted and then resold. There are |
some space lawyers who will quibble and will claim that that doesnt mean those can actually owned in a way that they can be on Earth, but I dont think thats a correct view.
The legislation isnt perfect, though. Szoka called the introduced bill the first draft of what I hope will ultimately get passed. One flaw the one very obvious definition thats missing is the definition of asteroid. And by not defining that, it leaves that ambiguous.
Theres also the question of what it means to extract resources. Sagi Kfir, corporate counsel for asteroid mining company Deep Space Industries, suggested that it might be possible to claim entire asteroids. Asteroid are movable; they are not land property, he said. Asteroids, in and of themselves, are personal property in much the same way as resources extracted, or moved, from them.
I agree that asteroids are movable, and that asteroids are, in that sense, essentially in practice no different from a rock that you might remove from the surface, and we should essentially treat |
them the same way, said Szoka.
Another issue is with the noninterference language in the bill what does it mean to harmfully interfere with another entitys operations on an asteroid? Kfir notes the bills language refers to the exploration and use of asteroid resources, which he suggested could allow someone to claim priority to an asteroid by simply observing it with a telescope, thus exploring it. There are some gaping holes to a very thin legislation, he said. But its critical thats fleshed out in terms of whats first in time and whats the zone of this noninterference.
The nearterm prospects of resolving those issues with the bill and advancing it are unclear. Earlier this month, Rep. Steven Palazzo RMS, chairman of the House Science Committees space subcommittee, said his subcommittee was reviewing the bill, but didnt immediately commit to holding a hearing on or marking up the bill. We have a limited amount of legislative days this year, he noted. Congress goes on recess at the end of this week and does n |
ot return until after Labor Day.
The subcommittees ranking member, Rep. Donna Edwards DMD, said at the conference she wants hearings about the bill before she would support move forward on the bill. Im always opposed to us moving forward on legislation without doing any hearings, any kind of factfinding, she said in an interview after her luncheon speech at the conference Saturday. She said she had not heard from NASA or from companies affected by the bill yet. I just think its bad policy to move policy forward when you havent done the investigative work that it takes to do that.

Court presses SpaceX and Air Force to resolve case in mediation
By Jeff Foust on 2014 July 26 at 1106 am ET
In a pair of orders issued Thursday, a federal court judge pushed SpaceX and the US Air Force to resolve the ongoing lawsuit over the EELV block buy contract through mediation rather than in the courtroom.
In the first order, Judge Susan Braden directed the Air Force and SpaceX to take t |
he first steps towards mediation. By August 8, The Air Force must provide to SpaceX a list of missions it plans to perform using the vehicles acquired in the block buy contract together with sufficient technical information to allow Plaintiff to determine whether and when it can perform those missions.
SpaceX, by September 10, will submit a list of issues that it will seek to resolve through mediation as well as other issues involved with mediation, including a proposed mediator and schedule for the mediation process. The Air Force must respond by October 14. To facilitate the good faith efforts of the Government and Plaintiff to undertake these initial steps in a mediation process, all parties are ordered to decline to comment in the press about the substance or assignments set forth herein, the order states.
In a second order, largely dealing with the administrative record of the case, Judge Braden threw out a motion by United Launch Alliance ULA, the defendentintervenor in the case, to dismiss the SpaceX s |
uit. That decision, though, was not based on the merits of ULAs arguments in its motion, but because the court concluded ULA had no standing to request a dismissal. The DefendantIntervenor has no basis to challenge Plaintiffs standing in this case, as all relevant evidence is within the custody and control of the Plaintiff andor Government.
The decision was considered a victory for SpaceX in many media reports, although it may be more accurate to consider it not a defeat. The court has not thrown out the SpaceX suit, although it hasnt ruled on the Air Forces motion to dismiss. The fact that Judge Braden is setting up a mediation process suggests she will not rule on that motion while mediation is ongoing. SpaceX has hinted in the past that it would be open to some kind of settlement in its suit, but has been vague on what it would accept.

GAO report warns of cost and schedule risks to SLS
In contrast to NASA and industry claims that work on the Space Launch System SLS |
is on track, a report by the Government Accountability Office GAO released Wednesday warned that tight schedules and budgets could delay the first launch of that heavylift rocket.
The report, requested by Sen. Tom Coburn ROK, warned that the flat budget profile for development of SLS may be insufficient to keep the program on track for a first launch in December 2017. The SLS program office calculated the risk associated with insufficient funding through 2017 as having a 90 percent likelihood of occurrence, the report stated. Furthermore, it indicated the insufficient budget could push the planned December 2017 launch date out 6 months and add some 400 million to the overall cost of SLS development.
The development of the core stage, which is driving the overall SLS schedule, is compressed and much of its schedule reserve may already be spoken for, the GAO report found. The SLS program is tracking threats to the core stage schedule that could take up as much as 70 percent of the 7 months of reserve, it stated |
. While these challenges are not overly complex from a technical viewpoint, resolving such threats to the schedule is critical because the element is in early development phases and still has several significant milestones and developmental activities ahead.
That assessment contrasts with what NASA and industry have said about the status of SLS work, painting at time a rosy picture of progress on development of the rocket. In a discussion in May at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Ginger Barnes, vice president and program manager for SLS at Boeing, said the company was heading into the critical design review for the SLS core stage five months ahead of schedule.
The GAO report also addressed some other issues with the SLS, including the fact that its longterm missions, beyond the EM2 mission in 2021 that will be the first to carry a crew, remain unclear. That uncertainty affects plans to develop upgrades to the SLS to incerase its payload capacity to 105 and eventually 130 metric tons. The GAO was also |
critical of plans not to compete a higherperformance upper stage for SLS, saying NASAs rationale that Boeing won a competitive Constellation contract in 2007 didnt reflect changes in the industry since then, including work by SpaceX and Orbital Sciences.
The GAO report cautioned that if the SLS suffered cost and schedule overruns, other NASA programs could be at risk if NASA decided to pay for SLS by taking money from them. Although cost and schedule growth can occur on any project, increases associated with NASAs most costly and complex missions such as SLS, which makes up about 9 percent of NASAs annual budgetcan have dramatic effects on the availability of funding for NASAs portfolio of major projects.
NASA, in a response, suggested it would not seek additional funding or delay SLS in order to meet the desired 70percent confidence level in the programs cost and schedule estimates. Delaying the SLS development schedule or diverting funding from other priorities to satisfy a schedule confidence level could |
jeopardize these goals and result in an increase in costs to the taxpayer, Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA associate administrator for human exploration and operations, wrote in a response to the GAO included in the report. Plans are in place to adjust schedule and minimize costs within the agency commitment if either funding levels decrease or technical problems arise.

White House and Congress mark the 45th anniversary of Apollo 11
On Tuesday, the White House hosted a private event with the two surviving members of the Apollo 11 crew, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, along with Neil Armstrongs widow, Carol, and NASA administrator Charles Bolden. The White House has traditionally hosted the Apollo 11 crew on fiveyear anniversaries like this; previously, President Obama met with the crew on the 40th anniversary in 2009.
Few details about the meeting itself were disclosed. In a blog post, the White House discussed the Apollo 11 mission as well as NASAs future plans, ranging from commercia |
l crew to the Space Launch System and longterm plans to send humans to Mars. In a separate statement, President Obama said he used the meeting with the Apollo 11 crew to thank them for serving as advocates, role models, and educators whove inspired generations of Americans myself included to dream bigger and reach higher.
The meeting was not without some controversy, though. At a press briefing later Tuesday, reporters complained that the presidents meeting with the Apollo 11 crew was private, with no media allowed to observe. CBSs Major Garrett told press secretary Josh Earnest that he planned to lodge a formal complaint about the Apollo 11 event on behalf of the White House Correspondents Association because of that lack of access.
Other reporters at the press conference used the anniversary to quiz Earnest about USRussian relations in space, including comments by former NASA administrator Mike Griffin that the US is in a hostage situation with the Russians since they control crew access to the Internatio |
nal Space Station. Earnest said little about that, other than the Us continues to cooperate with Russia in space and other arenas despite the Ukraine crisis.
At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, Rep. Lamar Smith RTX, chairman of the House Science Committee, penned an oped about space exploration for The Hill earlier this week. There are also those who ridicule space exploration. Waste of time. Little green men. Not a priority, he writes. We should not let them discourage us.
Smith did get some criticism of the administrations space policy into the piece, rueing the cancellation of the Constellation program and complaining about costly distractions to the space program, including what he perceived to be an overemphasis on Earth science at NASA. The Obama administration continues to advocate increasing climate change funding at NASA at the expense of other priorities such as space exploration. There are 18 federal agencies that fund climate change research, but only one does space exploration.
Smiths Democr |
atic counterpart, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson DTX, also issued a statement about the 45th anniversary with Rep. Donna Edwards DMD, ranking member of the space subcommittee. NASA is critical to our nation and its economic strength, and there is no more fitting way to honor Apollo 11 than to resume our commitment to human exploration of deep space that we proved possible 45 years ago, Edwards said in the statement. Our bipartisan NASA Authorization Act of 2014 gets us started, and I look forward to continuing the mission.
Such an endeavor of human space exploration will inspire our young people, spur technological innovation, and strengthen our geopolitical standing, said Johnson. I urge my colleagues in Congress and in the Administration to make that program a reality.

Collective Marks
Collective Mark is defined in the 1999 Act as a trade mark distinguishing the goods or services of members of an association of persons which is the proprietor of the mark from those of others. The association of persons, however, does not includes partnership within the meaning of Indian Partnership Act, 1932.
Section 2 of the 1999 Act lays down that any reference to Trade Mark shall include reference to Collective Mark or Certification Trade Mark.
Collective mark not to be misleading as to character of significance
Section 62 of the Act prohibits the registration of collective mark, if it is likely to deceive or cause confusion on the part of public in particular if it is likely to be taken to be something other than a collective mark, and in such case the Registrar may require that a mark in respect of which application is made for registration comprises some indication that it is a collective mark.
Wellknown trade mark
The ter |
m wellknown trade mark is defined under section 2zg as follows
Wellknown trade mark, in relation to any goods or services means a mark which has become so as to the substantial segment of the public which uses such goods or receives such services that the use of such mark in relation to other goods or services would be likely to be taken as indicating a connection in the course of trade or rendering of services between those goods or services and a person using the mark in relation to the first mentioned goods or services. Illustration Airtel, Reliance, Britannia, Parle, Liberty, Raymond, Colgate, Bata etc.
For determining whether a mark is a wellknown mark, the Registrar may take into account any fact
which he considers relevant for the said purpose. He is also mandated to consider
knowledge or recognition of that trade mark in the relevant section of the public including knowledge in India obtained as a result of promotion of the trade mark;
the duration, extent and geographical area of any use of that tra |
de mark;
the duration, extent and geographical area of any promotion of the trade mark; including advertising or publicity and presentation, at fairs or exhibition of the goods or services to which the trade mark applies;
The duration and geographical area of any registration of or any application for registration of that trade mark under the Act to the extent they reflect the use or recognition of the trade mark;
The record of successful enforcement of the rights in the trade mark. The extent to which trade mark has been recognized as a well known trade mark by any court or registrar;
If a mark is determined as wellknown , by even one section of the public in India, by any court or registrar, it should be considered as wellknown trade registration.
For considering whether a mark is a wellknown mark, the Registrar is mandated not to require the
following aspects as necessary conditions
Mark has been used in India;
That the trade mark has been registered;
That the application for registration of the trade mark |
has been filed in India;
That the trade mark
is wellknown in; or
has been registered in; or
in respect of which an application for registration has been filed in, any
Jurisdiction other than India; or
that it is wellknown to the public at large in India;
The principles for deciding the question of similarity of two marks
The marks are remembered by general impressions of some of significant detail rather than by a photographic recollection of the whole.
Overall similarity is the touch stone.
Mark must be looked at from the first impression of a person of average intelligence and imperfect recollection.
Overall structure, phonetic similarity and similarity of idea are important and both visual and phonetic tests must be applied.
The marks must be compared as a whole, microscopic examination being impermissible. Further, the nature of commodity, the class of purchaser, the mode of purchase and other surrounding circumstances must also be taken into consideration.
Factors to be considered for deciding deceptive |
similarity
For deciding the question of deceptive similarity, the following factors are to be considered
The nature of mark i.e., whether the marks are word marks or label marks or composite marks i.e., both word and label marks.
The degree of resembleness between the marks, whether they are phonetically, visually or structurally similar and hence similar in idea.
The nature of goods in respect of which they are used as trade marks.
The similarity in the nature, character and performance of the goods of the rival traders.
The class of purchaser who are likely to buy the goods bearing the marks.
The mode of purchasing the goods or placing order of the goods.
Any other surrounding circumstances.
It is also settled that weightage to be given to each of the aforesaid factors depends upon facts of each case and the same weightage cannot be given to each factor in every case.
Criteria for determining the deceptivity
The Act does not lay down any criteria for determining what is likely to deceive or cause confusion |
within meaning of the provisions therein. Therefore, every case must depend upon its own particular fact, and the value of authorities lies not so much in the actual decision as in the tests applied for determining what is likely to deceive or cause confusion. On an application to register, the Registrar or an opponent may object that the trade mark is not registerable by reason of provisions embodied in Act.
In such a case, the onus is on the applicant to satisfy the Registrar that the trade mark applied for is not likely to deceive or cause confusion. In cases when it is considered that there is doubt as to whether deception is likely, the application should be refused. A trade mark is likely to deceive or cause confusion by its resemblance to another already on the register if it is likely to do so in the course of its legitimate use in a market.

True Light's concept of discipleship is to bring people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, teach them how to live their lives consistent with the Word of God, and prompt them to action in the community to form a continuous circle of ministry. Thus, believers practice their discipleship by rehabbing homes for the needy, participating in food and clothing drives for the homeless and less fortunate, and by providing tutoring programs, employment services, as well as various types of counseling to the communityatlarge.
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty all them that are bruised..." Luke 418

True Light Fellowship Missionary Outreach Efforts
The True Light Fellowship church vision statement is Reaching to Rescue and Teaching to Transform
We have done this in many ways through the preaching of the word of God and through our missions ministry outreach efforts.
In our earlier days of ministry True Light held missionary boot camp training where seasoned missionaries would train incoming missionaries with a call and desire to go ye therefore to the world and teach as they have been taught. We would simulate field like experiences that would take us out of our normal life pleasantries and routine experiences. You were encouraged to open your mind, to open your heart; you were encouraged to be bold for the Lord and to be flexible because it is not all about you.
Over the years there were many missionary trips to Jamaica teaching and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In 2007 we joined with members from various churches and traveled to Burkina Fasso West Afr |
ica to join in a global worship experience that was awesome!
In 2008 True Light members and church elders traveled to Lagos Nigeria West Africa where the gospel of Jesus Christ was taught to many. Our church was very instrumental in the building and completion of the True Light Fellowship Academy which still stands today and there have been many youth that have graduated to this day. Great things happen when we work together as a unified body for the building up of the Kingdom of God.
Today we are still keeping the vision statement strong for the Glory of God. True Light is one of many churches that feeds the homeless monthly through the Chosen 300 organization. We go into the Philadelphia Prisons CFCF for Men and The Riverside Women's facility preaching to gospel. The True Light Missions Ministry visits the sick and shut in, we visit nursing homes.
We go to the streets of Philadelphia witnessing, singing praises to God and preaching the gospel. We go into the Eliza Shirley Shelter for women men and children. |
We collect toys and clothing for the Family Manor Shelter for Women and Children. We have toy drives at Christmas holiday so that no child is without and we have sent barrels of food to Bamboo Ridge Jamaica and support Benin West Africa.
All through the pandemic we held food giveaways freely giving fresh fruit and vegetables to the community and church members.
Today we continue with our food giveaways and all of our outreach efforts serving and reaching to rescue those who are in need of help from the troubles of this world.
As in the book of Nehemiah 46 The people had a mind to work In various translations this reads; the people had a desire, the people were enthusiastic, the people were committed, the people were determined. We are the people who are committed, determined and have a desire to serve and preach the word of God to the down trodden and to those with a broken heart, to set the captives free. |

Childrens Hospital Gets Robot To Help Patients Virtually Attend Events
PITTSBURGH KDKA Cris Colaluca, a high school junior from New Castle, has donated a robot named VGo to Childrens Hospital with the help of MakeaWish of Western Pennsylvania.
We are here to celebrate Cris generosity of spirit, and to tell him we are here to make his wish come true, announced Judith Stone, president of the local chapter.
The teenager, who has a rare seizure disorder, wants others to share his ability to attend school and other events when they cant physically make it themselves.
He was a seventh grader at Mohawk Jr. High when we visited him in his home town a couple years back. He communicated from home, through the robot at school.
Having been a patient at Childrens Hospital, Cris says his choice of a wish was easy.
I thought VGo, children. I think its a match.

Welcome to the official online home of the World War 2 Guys! The boys of 2nd Platoon, Company H, 507th PIR are a civilian group of World War II living historians and reenactors based out of the Omaha, Nebraska area. We are a member unit of the WWII Historical Reenactment Society, the largest WWII reenactment organization in the United States. Our primary mission is to honor all of the brave soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who fought and died for our nation during World War II. We accomplish this mission by accurately and respectfully representing these men at various events throughout the year. We specifically portray the men of the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment because of their very unique history within our home state of Nebraska. The 507th was stationed at Alliance Air Base in western Nebraska from March through November 1943 before heading overseas to take part in the DDay invasion. The regiment went on to fight in the |
Battle of the Bulge and jumped on Germany as part of Operation Varsity.
The men of Company H at the Heartland Airborne Memorial, July 4, 2016.
Drop Zone T near Amfreville, France, the designated drop zone of the 507th on DDay.
Our unit is made up of members with an avid interest in military history and a unique desire to feel what it might have been like to live the life of a soldier during World War II. We do this by taking part in tactical battle reenactments and immersive field training exercises throughout the year. The members of our group also excel at teaching others through wellresearched, interactive displays and through sharing veterans' accounts and experiences.
As we lose more and more World War II veterans with each passing day, our purpose is strengthened to keep alive the traditions and stories of these brave men and to preserve their history for generations to come. Please enjoy exploring our website and we encourage you to drop us some VMail through our Contact page. If you are interested in |
joining our group, please see our Recruiting page and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible. We'll see you in the field!

You win, or you die Game of Thrones turns 10
Game of Thrones is now a decade old.
The fantasy epic, perhaps the definitive YV show of the 2010s, first premiered on HBO April 17, 2011, 10 years ago this Saturday.
Based on the A Song of Ice and Fire book series written by George R.R. Martin, GoT told the story of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, which are ruled by whomever sits upon the coveted Iron Throne. A world of dragons, ice zombies and seemingly endless war served as a backdrop to an increasingly complicated familial and political drama that would rival any soap opera.
Fans quickly became attached to characters such as Emilia Clarkes Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, Kit Harringtons noble bastard, Jon Snow, and Peter Dinklages harddrinking, smoothtalking Tyrion Lannister. That love was matched by utter hatred for characters including Lena Headeys conniving Cersei Lannister and her sadistic son, Jack Gleesons Joffrey Baratheon.
GoT launched the careers of actors including Clark |
e and Harrington, as well as Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, Jason Momoa, Nikolaj CosterWaldau, Gwendoline Christie and Pedro Pascal, among many others.
As its popularity grew, GoT exploded into a social media phenomenon, with Twitter becoming a spoiler landmine on Sunday nights, especially when yet another beloved character would suddenly be killed off.
GoT was not without controversy. It was criticized for its excessive gore, which ranged from beheading to eyegouging, as well as its use of nudity and its depiction of sexual violence. The term sexposition was even coined to describe the shows frequent habit of delivering heavy backstory with naked women onscreen.
Still, GoT was critically adored, and won the most Emmys of any drama in TV history.
Controversially, the TV series ultimately moved beyond the story in Martins books, culminating in the shows muchmaligned eighth and final season in 2019. Many fans felt it didnt deliver a satisfying conclusion, despite show producers claims that the action had Marti |
ns blessing.
But while Game of Thrones may be over, its watch hasnt ended quite yet. Multiple spinoff series are in the works at HBO, as is a GoTinspired Broadway play. |
Exhibition Residency
July 1, 2012 June 30, 2013
18th Street Arts Center is pleased to recognize Bill Kelley, Jr. as its first Curator in Residence. This new annual award for a California curator is a yearlong residency designed to support curatorial research and to promote the development of critical discourse in the field of contemporary art. Through this initiative, 18th Street Arts Center rewards innovative curators with time, space, and a 10,000 prize to investigate and develop ideas within a thematic framework fundamental to his or her practice.
Kelley is an independent curator, theorist and educator based in Los Angeles. His current research focuses on collaborative and collective art practices in the Americas. At 18th Street Arts Center, his residency will focus on Social Practice, a general term that is currently being widely used to define an amalgamation of transdisciplinary art practices that have direct community involvement and social activism at its core, with an emphasis on investigating arti |
sts methodologies for public engagement. More specifically, Kelley will investigate pressing issues within Social Practices, with a focus on Los Angeles as a point of entry while considering this genre within the context of its own history and global legacy.
Through a series of onsite public programs and writings to be featured in 18th Street Arts Centers annual catalog, Kelley will look to reconcile the many sites of cultural work and pedagogy this kind of practice occupies within todays art world while also considering its relationship to the history of art and theory, ranging from Feminist methodologies to Latin American Liberation Theology. Making connections across history and geography, discussions will center around the positioning of these kinds of practices in varying art and public contexts and the development of language and structure to support artists exploring this kind of critical transdisciplinary political art.
Most recently, Kelley was cocurator of the 2011 Encuentro Internacional de Medelln |
MDE11 Museo de Antioquia, Medelln, Colombia 201112. In 2009 he organized the collective research project Proyecto Cvico Dilogos e Interrogantes for the Centro Cultural Tijuana, Mexico. Other recent projects include the exhibition Por qu no te callas? Arte, activismo y medios de comunicacin, Arte Actual, FLACSO, Quito 2008 together with a public monthlong workshop named Laboratorio de Arte y Espacio Social LAES, sponsored by the Museo del Banco Central del Ecuador. He is the former Director and current Editorial Adviser of the online bilingual journal LatinArt.com and teaches at Otis Colleges Graduate Public Practice program. Additionally, Kelley is currently completing his Ph.D. in Contemporary Art, Theory and Criticism at the University of California at San Diego UCSD and is coediting an anthology of public and dialogical art practices in the Americas with Grant Kester. He graduated with a Masters in 19th Century Colonial Art Studies from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque UNM in 2001.

Issues in Neuroscience
Question In the Visual Ability test, a splitbrain patient was shown an image in the left visual field but could not name the object. Explain why and identify the specialized functions that were discovered with regard to hemispheric lateralization. Consider some of the difficulties the splitbrain operation causes and the strategies you would recommend to help a patient manage them. Was it ethical to do this study? Was it right to trade the suffering experienced by participants for the knowledge gained by the research?
Modified3302014 1037 AM
The splitbrain is a condition that results after the communication between the two hemispheres of the brain has been hindered. The primary pathway through which to transfer information in our brains is the corpus callosum. Severing the corpus callosum is referred to as a callosotomy and is a last resort to treat severe forms of epilepsy. The right and left hemispheres of our brain are specialized to carry out different tasks. The left hemisphere is a |
ble to process one channel of information at a time, but is used to put things in sequence. This allows us to do things such as use language. The right hemisphere on the other hand, can process multiple channels simultaneously, allowing us to do a number of things such as process visual information. When these two sides cannot communicate, a number of problems may result. Be sure to address all aspects of the assignment in your initial post.
Prof. S.
Argosy University
In the 1940s, it was established that disconnecting the two hemisphere of cerebral through dividing corpus callosum reduced the effects of epilepsy among the epileptic patients. This was because the sectioning of the nerve fibres bridge which connected the two hemispheres did not interfere with the interhemispheric processing. However, tests carried out on patients who had been operated reveal that there are dramatic effects brought about by the disconnection. This problem is known as the splitbrain brain syndrome and has some effects on the pat |
ients cognitive skills.
Patients suffering from this syndrome are unable to verbally name an object that is placed on their left hand side if their eyes are closed. This is despite the fact that they can tell an object placed on their right when their eyes are closed. However, if the object is placed among many items and placed on the patients left hand, he or she can easily select the item from the other objects. This problem is brought about by the fact that the left hemisphere has access to speech something that the right hemisphere does not have access to. This syndrome is caused by the fact the splitting of the brain makes it unable to coordinate its activities. The right hand part of the brain is unable to know what its left part is doing whereas the left part is unable to know what the right hand part of the brain is doing Plotnik Kouyoumjian, 2011.
To control this condition, patients should pay a lot of attention to what they do. This stems from the fact that the two parts of the brain do not coordin |
ate in their operations which makes it hard for one part of the brain to understand what the other part is doing. In this case, through paying attention, the patient will be able to coordinate the activities of both parts of the brain.
Doing this experience was ethically right if the identity of the person the experiment was conducted on was not revealed. This is because the experiment was aimed to find out ways of helping the other patients suffering from this problem and not for the benefit of the people conducting the experiment.

an instructor response
Hi June,
You provide useful information about the limitations of the split brain individual. Could you talk more specifically abou |
t how you would assist this person? Also, aside from maintaining confidentiality, are there any other potential ethical issues?
Amanda
First of all I hope you are doing better! Im so sorry to hear that you have walking pneunomia. It can
be so tricky because you dont think that your that sick, until you go to the doctor and he orders
you to stay home from work for the next 3 weeks!
I really enjoyed reading your posting and wanted to ask you about your statement;
To control this condition, the patient should pay attention to what they do. This stems from the fact that the two parts of the brain do not coordinate in their operations which makes it hard for one part of the brain to understand what the other part is doing. In this case, through paying attention, the patient will be able to coordinate the activities of both parts of the brain.
Would you please explain what you meant by through paying attention. If a patient has a splitbrain procedure and it is an acute disconnection, the patient is going to be stru |
ggling with many different types of coordination;
When the corpus callosum of a righthanded, lefthemisphere dominate patient is sectioned, there often follow mild akinesia, imperviousness and mutism as well as competitive movements between two hands. There are lefthand apraxia to verbal command, leftarm hypotonia, well coordinated but repetitive reaching, groping or grasping with the left hand, and
bilateral Babinski responses. Symptoms vary across patients and reflect edema from retraction of one hemisphere to allow surgical approach as well as diaschistic shock to both hemispheres due to the radical disconnection. It is suggested by some that complete callosotomy section of the corpus callosum alone in cases where speech and manual dominance are in opposite hemispheres may result in prolonged loss of spontaneous speech Bogen, Zaidel Zaidel, 2014
What would be your suggestion to the patient about how to best work with their new set of symptoms postop, so they can better understand how to achieve this contro |
l?
Please take good care of yourself!

Netanyahu wants to avoid getting 'hung up' on peace with Palestinians
Comments come amid heightened tensions, as Israeli violence against Palestinians prompts rise in armed resistance
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks during a joint press conference in Jerusalem, on 30 January 2023 AFP
Published date 1 February 2023 2109 UTC Last update 1 month 2 weeks ago
Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned not to get hung up on peace negotiations with the Palestinians at a time of escalating tensions in the region.
Netanyahu said the Palestinians had maintained an effective veto on Israels expansion of the 'circle of peace', in a CNN interview aired on Wednesday.
I went around them the Palestinians. I went directly to the Arab states and forged with a new concept of peace I forged four historic peace agreements, the Abraham Accords, which is twice the number of peace agreements that all my predecessors in 70 years got combined," he said.
Netanyahu's farright allies complicate expansion of Abraha |
m Accords
In 2020, under Netanyahus premiership, Israel signed USbrokered normalisation deals with the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan, in what became known as the Abraham Accords.
The deals broke with decades of precedence in the Arab world that Israel would not be officially recognised until its conflict with the Palestinians was resolved.
Unlike Israels establishment of ties with Jordan and Egypt, the Abraham Accords are unique in that the countries have publicly embraced relations. Israeli tourists have flocked to the Emirates and Morocco. And in May, Israel and the UAE signed a historic free trade deal.
Countries that signed the Abraham Accords, however, do not share a land border with Israel. The UAE and Bahrain were not established as independent states until about four years after the 1967 War between Israel and its Arab neighbours.
Since his return to office, Netanyahu has pledged to expand the Abraham Accords. In an interview on Saudi Arabias state television, he said normalisation with Riyadh woul |
d be key to peace between Israel and Palestine.
Netanyahu reiterated his position on Wednesday, stating When effectively the ArabIsraeli conflict comes to an end, I think well circle back to the Palestinians and get a workable peace with the Palestinians.
Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said in January that the kingdom will not normalise relations with Israel until Palestinians are granted statehood.
Rising tensions
Netanyahus comments come at a time of rising tensions. Israeli violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has been getting more deadly and frequent, prompting a rise in armed Palestinian resistance.
Thirtyfive Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of January.
The situation has deteriorated since an Israeli raid on a Jenin refugee camp last month killed nine Palestinians. The next day, a Palestinian killed seven Israelis in a settlement in occupied East Jerusalem.
Why the rightwing Mizrahi vote is misunderstood in Israel
Last year, 220 Palestinians died in |
Israeli attacks across the occupied territories. More Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank and East Jerusalem last year than in any single calendar year since the Second Intifada.
Meanwhile, the number of Israelis killed by Palestinians also hit its highest level since 2008, with at least 29 people, including one child, killed.
Netanyahu also sidestepped questions about the creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the borders prior to 1967 the year Israel occupied the Palestinian Territories of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, following the SixDay War.
Im certainly willing to have them the Palestinians have all the powers that they need to govern themselves. But none of the powers that could threaten us and this means that Israel should have the overriding security responsibility, he said.
Analysts warn that prospects for a twostate solution continue to shrink as a result of illegal Israeli settlement building in the occupied West Bank, with ne |
arly 700,000 Israelis now living in illegal settlements in the land earmarked for a future Palestinian state.
In response to last weeks synagogue shooting, Netanyahu vowed to strengthen settlements and arm thousands of Israelis.

401 The Beginning and the End No Middle
07112018 Jan Ackerson
If you watched The Leftovers an excellent HBO series, you may have been puzzled, as I was, by the prologue to the first episode of season 2. I wont summarize it here, but it featured prehistoric people, and I remember scratching my head and thinking, What?
On my first viewing of Outlander episode 401, I had the same response, along with the wish thatgiven the immense amount of material from Drums of Autumn to be condensedtheyd chosen an opening featuring the people we knew. However, on subsequent viewings, Ive come to appreciate the opening maybe not to love it, as I did the rest of the episode.
First of all, a brief educational moment Ive seen people referring to these circlebuilders as cavemen. The date is 2000 B.C.at that time, Europe was entering the bronze age, the Great Pyramid at Giza had been built, and citystates had been established in Mesopotamia. In the Americas, societies like the one shown in the episode were huntergatherers with esta |
blished social structuresnot cavemen, who would have predated these dancers by many centuries.
That lesson asidewhat did this prologue bring to the show? I believe its greatest value is in continuity and foreshadowing.
In season 1, we met the dancers at Craig Na Dun. At the end of season 2, we revisited that site to see Gillian Edgars disappear into the past. In season 3, we saw a group of slaves dancing in a circle near Abandawe. In 401, a variation of the stones theme was played, and the fires and the dancers costumes called back to elements of previouslyseen circles. This all combines to say to the viewers Dont forgetthe Outlander universe is one of mystery. Although it has one foot now firmly in the 18th century, the other foot could bewellanywhen.
I also believe that well see this circle again. Thats enough about that, in the interest of staying mostly spoilerfree.
Then a whole episode happens. Ill leave that recap to othersthere are dozens of them to be Googled. It was a darn good episode, I think.
And |
now for the five minutes at the end of the show that have polarized the Outlander fandom. Jamie, Claire, Ian, and Lesley are on a rivercraft, on their way to River Run. That night, Steven Bonnet, encountered earlier in the episode, waylays the travelers with his gang of thugs, robs them of their valuables, and kills Lesley. Except for the first few seconds of this attack, the viewers hear nothing of the screams, blows, and shouts. Instead, the music of the great Ray Charles is heard, singing America the Beautiful.
Those who dislike this sequence have several reasons they find the camera work jarring and the playing of the beloved song at contrast with the violence happening onscreen. Some find it heavyhanded; when taken together with some characters earlier statements about the wrongs done to slaves and Native Americans, it feels to them to be overly critical of America.
I found it a masterful piece of television. A fight scene might be seen on almost any drama, and the Outlander writers might have done the e |
asy thing and let us hear every footfall, grunt, and smack. By taking these sounds away from us, were forced to fill them in on our own and to concentrate more closely on the faces of the actors and the chaotic action.
The rapid camerawork, too, captures that sense of total loss of control. The viewer wants to say, waitstopslow down, but can no more stop the action than Jamie could, when held down by several masked men.
More controversial than the camerawork, though, is the use of America the Beautiful. It doesnt escape me that Ray Charles was the son of sharecroppers, and that he lived through preCivil Rights era America. He might well have had his own difficulties with this song, and there are certainly other versions that the producers or directors could have chosen. But this version says
America IS beautiful, despite its past, despite its present woes. Look at the lawlessness on your screenbut America is beautiful. We have come a long way, and there is much to accomplish stillbut America is beautiful. We |
must learn from our historybut America is beautiful.
The first visceral reaction is to think that the irony of that song, juxtaposed with the violence onscreen, points to a criticism of Americaand there is certainly an undercurrent of openeyed criticism there. But I believe without that song, wed be left with an imprint of both visual and auditory horrors. With it, were left with the hope of eventual brotherhoodfrom sea to shining sea.
I leave you with this picture from early in the episode which has nothing to do with the rest of the post, just because I think Sam Heughan has more acting ability in his eyes than most actors possess with every tool in the actors toolbox.
For the rest of season 4, I hope to focus pretty narrowly on something I find worth exploring in each episode, and to leave the recapping to others. You may disagree with my take on thingsId love to read why. Comments are like candy to bloggers, and I look forward to hearing from you.

I certainly looked at t |
hat last scene as critical of A.erica until I read your blog. Now I can see what you are saying could be true. I hope so. There are too many people saying and thinking that America has never been special or good. I know it is the best country in the world!
Jan Ackerson says
Thank you, Connie. Im not sure Ive ever heard anyone say that America has never been special or goodIm sorry that youve encountered that.
Cyndi St John says
Love your comment about Sams eyes. Just watch 301 Battle Joined. Not a word for the first 15 minutes and just blew us all away!
Absolutely! And there are similar scenes in several other episodes, toonotably in 103, when Claire is checking his dressing. It makes my little heart race every time.

Lake Tanganyika is an African Great Lake. The name Tanganyika apparently refers to the great lake spreading out like a plain, or plainlike lake. It is the secondoldest freshwater lake in the world, the secondlargest by volume, and the seconddeepest, in all cases after Lake Baikal in Siberia. It is the worlds longest freshwater lake. The lake is shared between four countries Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo DRC, Burundi, and Zambia, with Tanzania 46 and DRC 40 possessing the majority of the lake. It drains into the Congo River system and ultimately into the Atlantic Ocean.
Lake Tanganyika is situated within the Albertine Rift, the western branch of the East African Rift, and is confined by the mountainous walls of the valley. It is the largest rift lake in Africa and the secondlargest lake by volume in the world. It is the deepest lake in Africa and holds the greatest volume of fresh water, accounting for 16 of the worlds available freshwater. It extends for 676 km 420 mi in a general northsouth |
direction and averages 50 km 31 mi in width. The lake covers 32,900 km2 12,700 sq mi, with a shoreline of 1,828 km 1,136 mi, a mean depth of 570 m 1,870 ft and a maximum depth of 1,471 m 4,826 ft in the northern basin. It holds an estimated 18,900 cubic kilometers 4,500 cu mi.
The one major outflow is the Lukuga River, which empties into the Congo River drainage. Precipitation and evaporation play a greater role than the rivers. At least 90 of the water influx is from rain falling on the lakes surface and at least 90 of the water loss is from direct evaporation.
The major river flowing into the lake is the Ruzizi River, formed about 10,000 years ago, which enters the north of the lake from Lake Kivu. The Malagarasi River, which is Tanzanias secondlargest river, enters the east side of Lake Tanganyika. The Malagarasi is older than Lake Tanganyika, and before the lake was formed, it probably was a headwater of the Lualaba River, the main Congo River headstream.
The lake may also have at times had different inf |
