Songs of the Years

December 10, 2010

Here at the New Yorker office, we spend lots of time listening to music, but not very much time listening to Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians’ hit song “Collegiate.” That’s easy to explain, since the song was a hit all the way back in 1925. But it’s also a shame, in a way: 1925 was the year that The New Yorker published its first issue, and in all the years since, as issue after issue has appeared, more and more songs have been released. This year, as the holiday season approached, we were in a celebratory mood, and I decided to create a playlist for our holiday party composed of one song from every year of the magazine’s existence. I started with“Collegiate” and went on from there, with selections from many of the century’s giants (Duke Ellington, Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson), and many lesser-known artists (Norman Greenbaum, Gary Numan).

At the party, the mix worked like a charm. Jazz and blues greeted the early arrivals, and as the party picked up, the mood became romantic (thanks to the big-band and vocal recordings of the late thirties and forties), energetic (thanks to early rock and roll like Fats Domino and Jackie Brenston in the early fifties), funky (James Brown in 1973, Stevie Wonder in 1974), and kitschy (the eighties), after which it erupted into a bright riot of contemporary pop and hip-hop (Rihanna! Kanye! M.I.A.! Lil Jon!). It was rumored, though never proven, that party guests were leaving right around the


Spitfiyah Podcast Perspectives on International Women's Day

Listen to tonight’s Spitfiyah podcast, part of the HerSay programs. They talk International Women’s Day. Spitfiyah takes a critical look at two cases of rape that have garnered international attention and debate in India and the US. Also, the crew turns a critical eye to the NFB film “Status Quo”, a recent documentary that explores the state of feminism and status of women in Canada. They ask the question: where is feminism today?We had a sportnight the evening before our Area conference. We had Berri, Robinvale and Broken Hill branches with us. Couple in lower right is Bishop and sister Tu’Imoala from the Mildura Ward. Sister Samita and Cheurfang in lower left. Others are various members. It is a tradition to have sport nights when getting together, Volleyball and basketball on parking lot, touch Rugby on the front lawn for the youngens!

We had a wonderful time at our flat with members of the Broken Hill branch and Berri branch. They both had investigators with them and they went on to be baptized. It may be the 1st Garage Barbie in the history of the branch/ward but it was fun and the food was edible…at least most of it was gone

(WLS) -- Dead fish and toxic chemicals in the water have caused several beaches in Northwest Indiana to close, including parts of the Indiana Dunes National Park.A steel plant belonging to ArcelorMittal is accused of dumping toxic levels of cyanide and ammonia-nitrogen in the Little Calumet River in Portage, according to state officials.According to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, ArcelorMittal exceeded the daily maximum total for cyanide and ammonia nitrogen release. The department, which is leading the investigation, has requested ArcelorMittal help clean up the spill and monitor the river's chemical concentration.The National Park Service said the water out to 300 feet at the national park's Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk beach area has been closed since Wednesday. Portions of the Little Calumet River were closed


Dunes National Park said the area is closed to protect public safety."Of course, we want to keep people out of the water here until we really know what's in there and what the effects might be," Rowe said.In a statement, an ArcelorMittal spokesman said the steel production company is "committed to environmental compliance and takes both situations very seriously."The effects of the spill, which reportedly could have happened as early as Wednesday, are already being seen.Marquette Yacht Club member Janice McMullen said she saw fish dying right before her eyes."I seen all the fish swimming in circles, going belly up and it wasn't like a couple. I looked around. They were up on the shores. They were everywhere," McMullen said.The mayor of Portage has criticized the Indiana Departmentneed to get out of the Valley. Thanks hon...

So it's been several years since I've been out to California at all, and MANY years since I've been there in the warmer time of the year. BITD I used to go there all the time on business, but it was always in January for a big trade show. The big plus for this trip was that there was no rain and temps were actually very moderate. SWEET… That said, the totally clear blue skies and brown surroundings were in distinct contrast to the reins and colorful fall conditions here in the White's just before I left.

The primary rational for the journey was to see a bunch of friends that I haven't seen in a while. and by "a while"


anyone. I would definitely say that I got the $10 Tour…

We got a bit of a late start, about 10:30 or so, after gathering gear, lunch and a cooler with treats for the end of the day. It was pretty clear that Todd had an agenda in mind, going from place to place quickly to maximize the time we had. That was fine with me, since I didn't know anything about the area. Both Donette and another climber house guest named John came along as well.

Our first stop was at the left Hand of Darkness area. Todd led the climb on the right, Granny Goose (5.7) and John led Grandpa Gander (5.10c). These were about as different as you could imagine, in a 20' section of rock. Goosecaused Margairaz to have physical custody a larger part of the time. In response to the motion, Siegel asserted that his yearly income had decreased since the original order of support and that his support obligation therefore should be reduced.
In July 1999, an evidentiary hearing was conducted at which the magistrate received *1053 testimony from numerous witnesses regarding the earning capacities of the two parties. It was Siegel's position that his earnings level was $35,600 per year, the salary that he drew from a corporation by which he was employed. Margairaz sought to show that Siegel was voluntarily underemployed and that his earning potential was far greater than his then-existing salary. After hearing the evidence, the magistrate found that Siegel "clearly has a potential income in the computer


a university in California with the aim of becoming a psychologist. He said that in 1998 he took a leave of absence from his psychology program and reentered the computer industry to support his children. At that time he "took a job" with Siegel & Associates, Inc., which paid him a salary of $35,600 in 1998. Siegel testified that he expected to be paid $36,000 in 1999.
The magistrate properly rejected Siegel's contention that for purposes of calculating child support, his income should be measured by the salary he was earning at the time of the hearing. The evidence showed that his employer, Siegel & Associates, Inc., is a corporation in which the sole shareholder, director, and officer is Siegel's mother, Doris Siegel.

The virulence of Pompeo’s remarks was noteworthy given the fact he made them just minutes before a bilateral meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, amid rising US-Russian tensions over Venezuela, among other things.

Russia bans US rockers Bloodhound Gang over flag stunt Published duration 3 August 2013

media caption "Don't tell Putin," bass player Jared Hasselhoff said as he grabbed a Russian flag

US rock group Bloodhound Gang has been banned from a Russian music festival after a band member stuffed the Russian flag into his underpants on stage.

Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky described the band as "idiots" and said they were "packing their suitcases".

Bass player Jared Hasselhoff was seen in a video pushing the flag into the front of his pants and pulling it out of the back.

Hasselhoff later apologised for the stunt, local media reported.

The incident took place in a 31 July concert in the Ukrainian city of Odessa.

"Don't tell Putin," Hasselhoff said to applause as he grabbed a Russian flag fromthe wall behind and performed the stunt.

'Idiots'

The band had been expected to play at the Kubana festival, held in the first week in August in Russia's southern Krasnodar region, also known as Kuban.

But their performance billed for Friday was cancelled.

"I spoke to the Krasnodar region authorities. Bloodhound Gang is packing their suitcases," Mr Medinsky said on Twitter.

"These idiots will not perform in Kuban."

Festival organiser Ilya Ostrovsky told gazeta.ru: "We're here to make friends or listen to music. We will not allow anyone to insult the inhabitants of any country."

Local media reports later said that Hasselhoff had been questioned by police.

The head of Russia's Investigations Committee, Vladimir Markin, said his department was prepared to pursue criminal charges against "all those involved" if prosecutors decided there was a case.

Quel combat! The political battle that will determine the future of French rugby

Serge Blanco and Bernard Laporte may both challenge incumbent Pierre Camou for the top job when the French federation elects a new president next year. It promises to be a clash of philosophies as much as personalities…

The successor to Philippe Saint-André will be announced next month, but that decision will have only a limited bearing on the long-term fortunes of the national team. The crucial selection comes in December 2016, when the Fédération Française de Rugby (FFR) elects its new president. The incumbent, Pierre Camou, has been in the post since 2008, having been re-elected in 2012, and it’s believed he will stand for a third term despite the fact he turns 70 in August.

A possiblealternative is Camou’s right-hand man, Serge Blanco, one of the FFR’s eight vice-presidents and a man who is in many respects the face of French rugby. After his glorious career as a player, Blanco moved effortlessly into business and administration, opening a successful chain of clothing stores as well as a health farm, and also running the Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR, the French clubs’ governing body) from 1998 to 2008.

He left the position to join the FFR, where he has been the driving force behind Le Grand Stade de Rugby, the FFR’s new 82,000-seat national stadium that will open in 2020 to the south of Paris.

Power Serge
Blanco is a divisive figure within French rugby, splitting opinion between those who see him as a brilliant and charismatic administrator


and those who regard him as a Machiavellian figure.

His pronouncements in February about the possibility of his standing for the presidency next year were, for many, further proof of his slipperiness. In an interview with broadcaster RTL, Blanco was asked if he had an eye for the role. “Yes, of course,” he replied. Two and a half hours later, he issued a statement to a press agency in which he said his words had been misinterpreted and that he was fully supportive of Camou.

Not for nothing did Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal liken Blanco in 2012 to “Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde”, a man who “has become the most eminent member of French rugby’s oligarchy”.

Laporte the reformist
The ‘oligarchy’ is the FFR, seen by an increasing number of people inFrance as responsible for holding back the development of rugby. Head of the malcontents, unofficially, is Bernard Laporte. The former France coach is in his last full season at Toulon (he will share the reins

with Diego Dominguez at the start of 2016 before stepping down six months later), and Laporte is being encouraged to run for the presidency by those who share his views that the FFR is in urgent need of overhaul.

In a lengthy interview in last week’s Midi Olympique, the 50-year-old Laporte confirmed he was thinking about standing for the presidency and that he would announce his decision at the end of this year. “I don’t have the personal ambition to become president of the Federation,” he explained. “But I feel the necessity to reform the


On Tuesday, March 22, a statement from the office of the Presidency of the Republic announced, that as of March 23, the nationwide state of emergency in Tunisia would be extended for a further three month period.

The statement said President Beji Caid Essebsi had made the decision to extend the state of emergency after consultations with Prime Minister Habib Essid and the speaker of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People (ARP) Mohamed Ennaceur.

A thirty day state of emergency was declared after the November 24 suicide bombing in Tunis which killed twelve members of Tunisia’s Presidential Guard. The state of emergency had been extended for a further sixty days in January.

In February the state of emergency was again extended but only for thirty days, any hopes itwould be lifted when at dawn on March 7, over fifty militants simultaneously attacked security personnel, a national guard office, a customs office and a military barracks in the city of Ben Guerdane near the Libyan border. During the attack and the days immediately following it security forces killed forty nine militants and arrested nine.

The Tunisian authorities have stated that the unprecedented attack was an attempt to establish an Islamic State emirate in Tunisia.

Tunisian security officials believe all three gunmen behind the Bardo and Sousse attacks of 2015 had trained in militant camps outside Sabratha, in Libya. After the Sousse attack the Tunisian authorities began construction on a 250 km 'security barrier' along its border with Libya. The security barrier, completed in early February, runs the section of

Democrats tried to counter Republican arguments that the FBI investigation, which will not be released to the public, contained nothing to corroborate Ford's allegations that she was assaulted by Kavanaugh when they were teenagers in the Washington DC suburbs in the early 1980s. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.

"It looks to be a product of an incomplete investigation that was limited, perhaps by the White House," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, told reporters.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer disputed the notion that the FBI had conducted a thorough investigation and demanded its details be made public.

"Why shouldn't all of America see the facts?" Schumer asked.

Politics of personal destruction

The level of animosity whipped up by the Kavanaughconfirmation process is startling and at odds with the normally courtly code of the Senate, and reflects the gaping cavern that has opened up in the nation over the issue.

"What I've been dealing with since July the 10th, the downhill slope that Schumer's put us on is really dealing with a demolition derby," said Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

"They just about destroyed a good person to be on the Supreme Court."

Hatch accused Democrats of trading in the "politics of baseless personal destruction."

New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand urged protestors to turn their fury over the confirmation saga into political energy.

"I'm leaving you with one final thought: November is coming. November is coming. November is coming," she said, referring to the mid-term elections in which both parties


hope to leverage the Kavanaugh controversy to energize their voters.

Another Democrat, Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, one of two Democrats fighting for re-election in states where Trump won big in 2016, had been seen as a potential vote for Kavanaugh but announced Thursday she would oppose him. She cited concerns about his past conduct and his temperament following his fiery performance before the Judiciary Committee last week.

Another Democrat in a similarly tough political position, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, has yet to say how he will vote and plans to return to the secure room on Friday morning to finish his assessments.

"Heidi made her decision, I'll make mine," he said.

He was a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego and was awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, in collaboration with organic chemist Osamu Shimomura and neurobiologist Martin Chalfie. Tsien was also a pioneer of calcium imaging.

Early life

Tsien was born to a Chinese American family in New York, in 1952. He grew up in Livingston, New Jersey and attended Livingston High School there. As Tsien is Chinese, he traces his family ancestry to Hangzhou, China. His father Hsue-Chu Tsien, an MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University alumnus, was a mechanical engineer, had excelled academicallyMr Mather said: "He was questioned by an officer from Special Branch as to what he was doing, and what his bail conditions were. He said he was going to visit his mother and would be returning in a week.


The Arab-Israeli newspaper Kul al-Arab has reported that Qatar is mediating between Israel and Hamas in a potential prisoner exchange deal that would secure the release of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin and Staff Sergeant Oron Shaul, who were both killed during Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014.

The deal may also involve the return of Avraham 'Abera' Mengistu, an Ethiopian-Israeli reportedly held hostage by Hamas after he was seen crossing the border into Gaza out of his own volition in 2014.

According to the report, Hamas made the talks conditional upon the release of 60 prisoners who were released in the Shalit deal and who were subsequently arrested at various stages following its implementation.

The report suggestsAccording to various reports, former WCW and WWE wrestler Sean O'Haire, real name Sean Haire, has died. The cause of death is currently unknown. An obituary at Tributes.com lists a "Celebration of Life" visitation to be held at his home on Sat., Sept. 13, 2014, in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

He was just 43-years-old.

O'Haire trained at the old Power Plant before making his WCW debut in 2000. He wrestled for the company until it was bought by Vince McMahon and his contract was picked up by the then WWF. He toiled on the mid-card over the next couple of years until he was given a unique gimmick that, in hindsight, should have been a major hit.

He played a heel who would encourage you to do the wrong thing. It was

Birmingham — Two Birmingham residents filed a federal lawsuit Monday alleging the city violated their free speech rights and the state's Open Meetings Act when officials stopped them from addressing the city commission this month about a proposed $57.4 million bond issue.

Clinton Baller of the Balance 4 Birmingham citizens’ group and David Bloom of the Birmingham Citizens for Responsible Government said they were both barred from speaking during a public comment section at the end of a July 8 city commission meeting.

Both wished to challenge the need for the bond proposal, which will go before voters Aug. 6, but were told they were out of order by city attorney Timothy Currier and Mayor Patricia Bordman, who abruptly closed the meeting with one blow of her gavel. Bordman andfunded by the city's Parking Systems fund and special assessments on surrounding businesses. The existing garage is one of five parking facilities operated by the city.

Not part of the ballot proposal, but discussed by city officials, is a 99-year development lease for $400,000 a year with the developers, who would also operate a mixed-use development of offices, businesses and residences.

Critics of the plan say with parking spaces allotted to the new tenants, there would be no net gain of spaces for visitors.

Ponder Feels Ready To Play Against Seahawks

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder says he is ready to play against Seattle on Sunday.

Coach Leslie Frazier isn't quite ready to go that far just yet.

Frazier said he would wait until Saturday to see how Ponder's injured left shoulder feels before he decides on a starting quarterback against the Seahawks. But all signs point to Ponder, who was listed as probable on the team's final injury report of the week, getting his fourth straight start.

''My expectation is that I'm feeling good and I'll be ready to go,'' Ponder said after practice on Friday. ''But again, that's coach's call and I'm hoping it's me.''

Frazier said he expected Ponder to start barring any setbacks with his shoulder.

Ponder dislocated hisEllen Fitzpatrick, and Couturié explained the nation’s ongoing fascination with the Kennedys: “They were gorgeous, they were rich, they were all that stuff, but what I got from the letters is that people really identified with the family. Kennedy had fought in World War II. He came home, he got married, he had two children, so very, very similar to millions of other Americans at the time. … Him being the first president born in the 20th century and the youngest ever elected, he was a breath of fresh air at a time when the country was ready for that and so I think that he, in a remarkable way, hit the zeitgeist. He was the right man at the right time, and I think people enjoyed the


Llera Reflects on Cup Victory for Juniors

Youth team coach Miguel Llera has reflected on his side's 3-1 FA Youth Cup victory over Notts County last night.

Strikes from Joel Phillips, Ify Ofoegbu, and an own goal secured the win for the young Spireites as they advanced into the second round of the competition.

It was a win that obviously pleased Llera. The Spaniard said: "I'm proud for the lads. I think they really deserve to be in the next round. The team showed a lot of commitment and desire and it was a great effort."

Llera took time to praise those who found the net. "We scored two really good goals and the second was an own goal, but credit to Joel [Phillips] and credit to Ify [Ofoegbu]," he said.

Despite thewho have been working so hard to get here," Khosrowshahi said in an interview with The Associated Press. "It was a tough week to go public, but we got it done."

Uber's IPO price was lower than initially expected, and the caution may have been driven by escalating doubts about the ability of ride-hailing services to make money since Uber's main rival, Lyft, went public six weeks ago.

Jitters about an intensifying U.S. trade war with China also contributed. Stocks were down sharply Friday morning after the two countries failed to reach a deal before a tariff deadline, but finished with gains.

Despite the volatile market, Khosrowshahi said he did not consider postponing Uber's IPO date.

Uber's other co-founder Garrett Camp were present at the stock exchange Friday but absent from the podium during the bell ringing. Kalanick remains on Uber's board and while he kept a relatively low profile during the stock debut, he can still savor his newfound wealth. As of Friday's closing price, his stake in Uber will be worth $4.9 billion. Hundreds, if not thousands, of other Uber employees are expected to become millionaires in the IPO.

Meanwhile, scores of Uber drivers say they have been mistreated by the company as they work long hours and wear out their cars picking up passengers as they struggle to make ends meet.

The conversation at lunch on this day kept returning to the topic of races. Whether in France or in the United States, where thousands of breathless fans filled stadiums to watch the famous six-day cycling competitions, there was something universally appealing about them. Mulling it all over, Lefèvre had a novel idea. What about combining the excitement of the road races popularized in France with the hypnotic appeal of the six-day American events? Fleshing his idea out further, he described a multiday race that traveled through various French cities. Desgrange reportedly paused and then replied, "If I understand you, _petit_ Géo, you're proposing a 'Tour de France'?"

Notwithstanding a few hiccups along the way, a popular cycling stadium where Gino and his fellow competitors had officially registered for the 1938 Tour, was marshaled for altogether different purposes. In the summer of 1942 the French police used it as a giant holding cell for seven thousand Jews (including four thousand children) arrested in Paris. They held the internees there for five days without sufficient food or water before deporting them to Auschwitz.

In the spring of 1943, Gino and his countrymen felt Italy's path change course once more. Mussolini made a last-ditch effort in North Africa by sending yet another contingent of troops to Tunisia in March. This group included Fausto Coppi, whose regiment was captured quickly by the British. Coppi would spend the rest of World War II in prisoner-of-war camps, first

A final reason  and also perhaps the most heartening lesson the Convention presents to supporters of Constitutional republics, was the process of give-and-take through which these masterful public men managed to create a Constitution that could be carried home with some confidence to every part of a sprawling country. While the process may have often seemed unnecessarily erratic and time wasting to those trapped in its midst, we can see that it was the only way in which self respecting representatives of free men could have pieced together a set of operational rules of government and, at the same time, settled their outstanding politicaldifferences. In doing these things so well, and so acceptably to all but a handful of their colleagues, the men of 1787 met the supreme test of the democratic assembly; they proved beyond a doubt that the whole was wiser than the parts, that the collective was more creative than any individual in it. No single man, nor even the most artfully constructed team of four or five, could have provided so wisely for the Constitutional needs of the American people as did the logic of reason that operated through the whole Convention.

All in all, it was a convincing demonstration of the truth that the highest political wisdom in a Constitutional republic lies in the assembly rather than in the individual lawmaker.

the pickup truck segment is ripe for electric disruption, and it is a market that electric car makers and even legacy automakers are looking to tap into. Electric car startup Rivian, for one, has taken the wraps off the R1T luxury pickup truck. Veteran carmaker Ford, on the other hand, has announced that the beloved F-150 would have an all-electric option in the near future as well.

In a way, the pickup truck market fits perfectly with the characteristics of electric vehicles. EVs, for one, have immense torque, which would be useful for hauling cargo — a task usually undertaken by pickup trucks. This is something that Rivian has focused on with its R1T pickup, with CEO RJ Scaringe stating in a recent interview that the luxury truck couldFrom central London it's a half hour train ride to Homerton, the district where Estonian born artist Merike Estna (1980) has her studio in the Matchmakers Wharf. The place derives its name from the Matchbox factory that used to be located here and produced the famous dinky toys. Now it's a residential area combined with artist studios. Estna came initially from Tallinn to London for a work period at Goldsmiths College. After finishing her Masters in 2009 she moved to Belgium for a year but then London called again and she made it her home base. The city offers a good context for her both critical and passionate exploration of painting.

For my visit Estna prepared a set-up of her work in her studio: It looks like a big

An artist that is an inspiration for Estna is the German painter Katharina Grosse, who also practices an expansive and colourful kind of painting, that reaches beyond the borders of the canvas. Grosse paints for instance with an industrial spray gun on a whole building. Basically anything can be the support of paint, from a pile of dirt till sculptural elements. In Estna's case, the traditional rectangular canvas is still an important part of the work, but it is connected through other elements to the rest of the space.

There was no hiding the fact: the Najib-led Barisan Nasional coalition that had run Malaysia for the six decades since its independence from Britain had lost the election.

Voter anger over a goods and services tax, as well as allegations of corruption that had swirled for years around Najib's government and the apparently lavish lifestyle of his wife, had finally taken its toll.

A consultant who was in Najib's office as the reality of the defeat sank in said the prime minister was stunned. "When he knew that the numbers were not on his side,


Najib broke down," he said.

Explaining Najib's shock on election night, one political strategist with ties to the now-defeated government said it was not unusual for him to be out of the loop when there were unwelcome developments.

Najib's remove, and the disarray in his camp during the campaign and the election, was pieced together from interviews with about a dozen political operatives and members of the ruling coalition and the opposition.

Trump's favorite prime minister

The electoral defeat was a humiliating turn for Najib, who had ruled for almost a decade and had projected himself as a statesman who enjoyed a warm relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and played golf with US presidents. Donald Trump showered him with praise during a White House visit last year, and according to localmedia once gave Najib a photograph of them together inscribed with the words: "To my favorite prime minister."

Dubbed "The Survivor" on the cover of a magazine before the election, Najib, 64, had for three years weathered a scandal over the billions of dollars that went missing from the state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). He consistently denied wrongdoing in connection with 1MDB.

Najib went into the poll confident of victory, according to the interviews with politicians and party officials. But his week went off-script quickly and — despite frantic efforts — he failed to pull it back.

Reuters was unable to reach Najib or any close aides for comment.

An official who worked on Najib's campaign said his camp had been sure of victory several days before the vote.

That confidence sagged


as election day loomed with mounting evidence that momentum was with the opposition.

The political strategist said that two cabinet ministers were so unnerved that they stopped country-wide campaigning to concentrate on defending their own parliamentary seats.

Despite growing evidence of huge turnouts at opposition rallies, the ruling coalition remained confident of victory, even if with a weaker mandate, banking on its traditional Malay vote base.

Ten hours before polling stations opened, Najib went on national television and made voters a trio of promises.

If they returned him to power, he said, his government would scrap income tax for the young, declare two extra public holidays and make toll roads free for a few days during the Islamic festival of Eid.

"It was desperation," said the campaign official.

Opinion polls showed that voters wereangry over living costs after the introduction of the goods and services tax, but they were also disgusted by the allegations of corruption surrounding Najib.

"It was conflated with so many other things — with higher costs of living, with inflation, with the goods and services tax," said Khairy Jamaluddin, the youth and sports minister in Najib's government, explaining the public discontent. "But at the root of it was scandal."

A senior official in one of the opposition parties said that Barisan Nasional had been wrong to count on votes from the country's majority ethnic Malays on the basis of the affirmative-action policies that benefit them.

That shortcoming was underlined by the large crowds turning out for rallies for the opposition's Mahathir Mohamad, the 92-year-old former prime minister, in predominantly Malay


areas that had long been bastions of support for the ruling coalition.

"Sometimes on the ground, we were telling ourselves this is too good to be true," said one leader of Mahathir's Pakatan Harapan, or Alliance of Hope.

On election day, opposition party officials said they were sure of victory by early evening thanks to results that their representatives at polling stations had passed on.

The mood was jubilant in the opposition camp as it became clear its candidates had beaten leading Barisan Nasional politicians and made significant gains across the country.

By midnight, Mahathir felt confident enough to declare victory.

Najib did not concede, however, apparently having recovered his composure as the night went on.

Khairy visited Najib at his house that night and said the prime minister was "calm" and "poised," butthat the people around him were "stunned, shocked and somber."

When the Election Commission eventually announced the result, hundreds of jubilant Mahathir supporters waved flags and cheered in central Kuala Lumpur.

The next day, Mahathir, who was once Najib's mentor and later his bitter adversary, was sworn in as prime minister.

Mahathir's challenges for the multi-ethnic nation are substantial: how to keep together an alliance made up of former foes, and implement populist measures and reforms without disrupting economic growth — even as he has promised to cede power to Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition leader jailed by Najib.

Mahathir's immediate attention appeared to focus on Najib. During the election campaign, Mahathir had vowed to hold Najib to account for his alleged role in the disappearance of billions of dollars from a government


fund.

As he assumed power last week, he said that those who had broken the law would be punished.

Meanwhile, Najib's estranged step-daughter, Azrene Ahmad, took to social media to hail "the end of an era of tyranny."

Anger at the airport

With Mahathir in power, speculation swirled about Najib's future. Would Mahathir have him arrested? Would Najib try to leave the country?

On the Saturday after the election, an angry crowd gathered outside a small airport near Kuala Lumpur. Online, another 30,000 people tuned into a Facebook live event, streaming from the airfield entrance.

A report had leaked that Najib and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, were going to try to leave Malaysia aboard a private plane.

"Stop them running away!" said one watcher of the Facebook Live event.

Amid the commotion at the airport, Najibannounced on social media that he would indeed be leaving, to take a holiday overseas. But he and his wife never showed up at the airport.

What Najib hadn't realized then was that, just minutes before his announcement, the Immigration Department had issued a statement that Najib and Rosmah were barred from leaving the country — a final humiliation for the former prime minister.

Later that day, a somber Najib appeared at a news conference that appeared to signal the end of his political career.

Struggling to get a microphone to work, he put on a brave face as he announced that he was resigning as leader of both his political party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), and Barisan Nasional.

"Anyone who is the leader and failed, it is the responsibility


of that person to accept defeat. With an open heart, I accept it," he said.

'Collective denial'

Looking back at the evening of the election, Khairy, the Barisan Nasional lawmaker, discounted speculation that Najib had been hoping to find some way out of his predicament. Once the results had sunk in, Najib's priority had been figuring out how to achieve an orderly transition, he said.

"There were a lot of concerns that he was going to declare martial law, emergency rule, not hand over power," Khairy said. "Those were never ever options that were even discussed, thought or entertained in any way. It was just about accepting it and how we would concede."

Now, without Najib at the helm, the priority for the former ruling coalition was figuring out how to becomefinding water, likely in gas form, on this giant gaseous planet.

Water is a significant


and abundant molecule in our solar system. It spawned life on Earth and now lubricates many of its most essential processes, including weather. It's a critical factor in Jupiter's turbulent weather, too, and in determining whether the planet has a core made of rock and ice.

Jupiter is thought to be the first planet to have formed by siphoning the elements left over from the formation of the Sun as our star coalesced from an amorphous nebula into the fiery ball of gases we see today. A widely accepted theory until several decades ago was that Jupiter was identical in composition to the Sun; a ball of hydrogen with a hint of helium—all gas, no core.

But evidence is mounting that Jupiter has a core, possibly 10 times Earth's mass.in 1995 that wound up in an unusually dry region. "It's like sending a probe to Earth, landing in the Mojave Desert, and concluding the Earth is dry," pointed out Bjoraker.

In their search for water, Bjoraker and his team used radiation data collected from the summit of Maunakea in Hawaii in 2017. They relied on the most sensitive infrared telescope on Earth at the W.M. Keck Observatory, and also on a new instrument that can detect a wider range of gases at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility.

The idea was to analyze the light energy emitted through Jupiter's clouds in order to identify the altitudes of its cloud layers. This would help the scientists determine temperature and other conditions that influence the types of gases that can survive in

For starters, Dansby believes Patriots quarterback Tom Brady should be suspended for a full year, if deflation was happening and if he knew about it. Dansby also pointed out that he has separate suspicions about the Patriots.

In 2008, Dansby’s Cardinals faced the Patriots in New England during Week 16 of the 2008 season. The Patriots needed a win to keep their postseason hopes alive.

convert to the organic material kerogen as the cell breaks down after death. Kerogen is insoluble in mineral acids, bases, and organic solvents. Over time, it is mineralised into graphite or graphite-like carbon, or degrades into oil and gas hydrocarbons.
There are three main types of cell morphologies. Though there is no established range of sizes for each type, spheroid microfossils can be as small as about 8 μm, filamentous microfossils have diameters typically less than 5 μm and have a length that can range from tens of μm to 100 μm, and spindle-like microfossils can be as long as 50 μm.

Isotope analysis
Stable isotope fractionation is a useful way of characterising organic carbon and inorganic carbon. These numbers are reported as  values, where C is for the chemical element carbon. IsotopeHowever, it is still possible to find microfossils in chert, a type of evaporite that forms in sedimentary environments. From the evidence in these rocks, it is likely that early life existed in the form of microbial mats and stromatolites. Evidence for this hypothesis is preserved in both chert and lithified stromatolites.

Stromatolites represent large colonies of microorganisms, and are found both in the fossil record and rarely in modern hypersaline environments. A typical stromatolite consists of alternating layers of sediment and microbes. The microbes are photosynthetic; thus stromatolites represent shallow water environments in the fossil record due to their necessity to exist in the photic zone of water bodies. Stromatolites typically consist of filamentous microfossils. The oldest stromatolites have been dated to approximately 3.5 billion years old.


Tommy Godwin's 'unbreakable' cycling record Published duration 18 April 2012

image caption Tommy Godwin cycled the equivalent of three times around the world in a year

It has been described as an "unbreakable" record.

In 1939, Tommy Godwin rode 75,065 miles in a single year to set an endurance riding record that some believe will never be beaten.

In fact, he kept on going until 14 May 1940, setting the record for the time taken to ride 100,000 miles.

Born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1912, Godwin would have celebrated his 100th birthday this year. But unfortunately, Godwin's record is now largely forgotten.

The Year Record has fallen out of fashion and is no longer the coveted cycling achievement it used to be.

Imagine spending every day in the saddle for 18 hours, covering over 200 miles,repairing any mechanical failures, picking yourself up after crashes and then riding even further the next day to make up lost time.

The distance is the equivalent of three times around the world in a single year, or riding from John O'Groats to Land's End and back every week.

It was all achieved on a heavy steel bike with only four gears. Yet more than 70 years later, the record still stands.

'Beyond the limit'

"It's those statistics that make the record virtually unbreakable," said Dave Barter, a keen cyclist who is writing a book about the Year Record.

"I've gone through his mileage diaries and painstakingly recreated each day's mileage into a spreadsheet.

"Sometimes he survived on four hours' sleep and there were probably days when he didn't even bother and just carried


on and kipped in a field for an hour.

image caption Godwin had to learn how to walk normally again when he finished the challenge

"He pushed it [the record] beyond the limit of any mere mortal.

"I worked with a guy who tried it again this year - he lasted about a month and a half.

"The essence of it is that for a year you have to completely give up your whole life.

"When I tell other cyclists about the record, they simply don't believe it's possible."

'Butcher's bike'

Godwin's daughter, Barbara Ford, described her father as "hard as nails" but also said that he was really "a big softie".

"There was nothing he wouldn't tackle or do, and nothing he wouldn't do to help anyone."

"At 14, he used to ride a bike ina pair of shoes he'd borrowed from the lady next door.

"He'd get on an iron-framed butcher's bike and cycle a road race of 25 miles and win it.

"He never bragged or told anyone. He was so unassuming and didn't want any fuss.

"He once saved a woman from a fire, and after checking she was ok, he simply got on his bike and carried on riding.

"All his cups and trophies, he gave away. It wasn't that he was ungrateful - he just didn't need any recognition.

"When they unveiled a plaque in his honour someone asked me what my dad would have said. I told them he wouldn't have turned up.

"Everyone should have had the privilege of meeting Tommy Godwin, because he was just so lovely.

"I remember asking him why

To assess the reliability of transvaginal ultrasonography and uterine needle biopsy, used singly or in combination, in the diagnosis of diffuse adenomyosis, a prospective study with pathological confirmation of the diagnosis was performed. A total of 102 premenopausal women scheduled for hysterectomy because of menorrhagia and/or pelvic pain underwent preoperative transvaginal ultrasonography. After removal of the uterus, a single full-thickness myometrial biopsy specimen was taken from along the median line in the upper third of the posterior uterine wall, using a 14-gauge Trucut needle. Adenomyosis was diagnosed by the sonographer by the presence of indistinctly demarcated heterogeneous myometrial areas with distorted echotexture, and by the pathologist when the distance between the lower border of the endometrium and

In previous qualitative studies, children highlighted the importance of the school environment on their PA ([@bb0055], [@bb0125]).

India and Pakistan were "pretty close" to resolving the Kashmir issue, in phases, during the regime of then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and military ruler General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday.

"They came pretty close on resolving the Kashmir issue - phased movement... referendum during the time of Vajpayee," Imran Khan said in response to a question during his appearance at the US Institute of Peace, a US-Congress funded think-tank.

He, however, refrained from elaborating on the solution, saying it is a sensitive issue. But he insisted that Kashmir is the "bone of contention" between India and Pakistan.

Imran Khan said Pakistan's "top priority is to build good relationships with our


neighbours" apart from putting an end to corruption and building strong institutions. "We must have stability in our region," he said.

He said that after coming to power, he first tried to reach out to India.

"India is a country which we've had turbulent relationship with. Unfortunately, because of one issue of Kashmir, whenever, we have tried, whenever relationship has started to move in the right direction with India, some incident happens and that's all related to Kashmir, and we go back to square one," he said.

Imran Khan said that soon after assuming office, he reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and assured him that he will take two steps, if India takes one step, because the biggest problem India and Pakistan face is poverty.

Whilst Catalans gathered outside the Chinese consulate in Barcelona to express their solidarity with Hong Kong, more than a thousand young people gathered in Chater Garden in Hong Kong in support of Catalonia's right to self-determination, in a protest organised by the pro-democracy movement. Under the motto "united against tyranny", they also showed their support for the demonstrations in Catalonia in protest at the Supreme Court's sentences against independence movement leaders.

The Hong Kong demonstrators carried signs with various messages in support of Catalonia: "We Hongkongers support Catalans", "Independence is the most effective way for people to separate from state repression & reign of terror", and "Catalans, Hongkongers fight for freedom together" were some of the slogans seen.

Organiser Ernesto Chow told


Spanish news agency EFE that his aim was to "condemn the police brutality against protesters in Catalonia, especially against those who have protested peacefully." Also present were a small number of Catalans, many of whom work in the city.

specific country.

The U.S. and Israel are extremely close allies, and that relationship has grown closer since President Trump took office. Intelligence is shared between Washington and Israel as the nations confront common enemies in the volatile Middle East — most notably Israel's arch nemesis, Iran.

But despite Netanyahu's insistence that the "longstanding commitment" by Israel not to engage in espionage on U.S. soil is "strictly enforced without exception," there is at least one high-profile case to challenge that claim.

Jonathan Pollard, a former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, was arrested on Nov. 21, 1985 and sentenced two years later to life imprisonment for handing over a large amount of classified U.S. government information to Israel. He only got out of jail in the U.S. in 2015, after years of consistent lobbyingCLEVELAND, Ohio -- Move over, LeBron James - the Cleveland Indians now have their own enormous sign in downtown Cleveland.

Two Cleveland businesses have partnered with the Indians to hang a four-story-tall banner on the Cleveland Technology Center building in downtown Cleveland. The banner shows larger-than-life images of players Jose Ramirez and Francisco Lindor next to the team motto "Rally Together."

"It's a great way to kick off our push to the World Series," said Mike Campanelli, executive vice president at SecureData 365, one of the partners in the banner project.

Fans can celebrate the new 45-yards-wide Indians banner during a pre-game tailgate party on Home Opening Day on Friday at the Cleveland Technology Center, 1625 Rockwell Ave. The outdoor party, which starts at noon, will offer music, food trucks, a


heated tent and a shuttle to Progressive Field.

The party is free, but registration is required at www.securedata365.com/indians.

The idea for the banner began when SecureData 365, a tenant in the Cleveland Technology Center, learned that the Indians wanted to put up a giant sign in downtown Cleveland, similar to the iconic 10-story-tall LeBron James banner across from Quicken Loans Arena.

The Indians are a longtime client of SecureData 365, Campanelli said. His company is a data center operator headquartered in Canton; the Cleveland office is located in the Cleveland Technology Center.

H5 Data Centers, headquartered in Denver, owns the Cleveland Technology Center building and was interested in improving the look of the tech center's west-facing exterior wall. That wall was originally an interior wall, and when the building it was connectedto was demolished, an ugly wall was left facing the outside.

"It was never built to be an exterior wall," Campanelli said.

SecureData 365, H5 Data Centers and the Indians partnered to commission the banner and have it hung. Campanelli declined to give the project's cost.

Since the banner went up March 16, he has heard lots of compliments. "People say it's awesome, it's unbelievable," he said. "It beautifies this part of downtown, on the edge of downtown.

Campanelli isn't sure if the Indians will hoist a new banner next year displaying new players and a new slogan.

"Hopefully, the Indians will want it to stay and will update the sign annually," he said.

The Juke-R - Nissan's mad fusion of its funky urban hatch and its flagship go-fast monster, the GT-R - is set for production.

Nissan was adamant that the Juke-R was purely an engineering exercise and would never be offered to the public. Thankfully, the Japanese auto giant has changed its mind.

It may not be the most super-looking supercar, but its performance at a Dubai race event won the mad hatch some fans when it took down a line-up of high-end machines in a special race event.

Nissan has released this new video called Desert Nemesis showing PlayStation GT Academy winner turned race ace Lucas Ordonez pedalling the Juke-R around at pace after his team picked up a podium place at the Dubai 24-hour-race.

Dance 'til Dawn

Plot

It's


the day of the senior prom at Herbert Hoover High School. The prom has been organized by the one of the most popular girls at the school, the beautiful but obnoxious Patrice Johnson (Christina Applegate).

When Shelley Sheridan (Alyssa Milano) and her jock boyfriend Kevin McCrea (Brian Bloom) break up just before the prom because she refuses to sleep with him, they are both forced to try and find new dates at short notice.

When Shelley can't find a new date, she lies to her friends and tells them that she is going to a college frat party instead. In fact she goes to the town cinema to watch an old horror movie, where she assumes that she will not run into anyone from school. But she bumps into DanLefcourt (Chris Young), one of the school geeks, who has also gone to the cinema to avoid the prom. Dan has lied to his father (Alan Thicke), telling him that he was going to the prom because he didn't want his father to find out that he has a low social status at school and couldn't get a date. Dan helps Shelley avoid being seen by another group of students, and she soon discovers that he is a really nice guy.

A woman is wrapped tightly in white bandages. The costume has become a cage, a prison. She is a mummy or perhaps a slave with her eyes closed. Above her, a swarm of butterflies fusses, as if they will take her away. She is flying, forgetting her body, life, and the earth. Her flight is motionless, and her escape is internal, spiritual. Maybe she has visions?

A dark-haired woman is dressed in black, like a large crow. Her gloves are made of chain mail and the nails iron claws. Her hair is in the air. She seems dangerous, like a creature out of fables.

The Galerie Mitterrand is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition by Peter Kogler. For the occasion, the Austrian artist will present a visual and sound installation (sound by Franz Pomassl), as well as an ensemble of recent collages.

Peter Kogler is a pioneering artist in the field of computer-assisted creation. Employing cutting-edge technology, for the past thirty years the artist has


made use of a series of recurring motifs, materialized in different forms: bi and tri-dimensional prints, sculpture, furniture, wallpaper, lighting fixtures, collages and other installations. Since the start of his career, his iconography has been made up of ants, brains, terrestrial globes, lightbulbs and wavy lines, and is a metaphor for networks, the constant stream of information and social ties.

For his new exhibition at the Galerie Mitterrand, Peter Kogler presents a visual and sound installation created in 2016 produced by and exhibited at the ERES Foundation in Munich the same year, and at K21 Düsseldorf in 2017. The artwork is a box measuring 230 x 270 cm, into which the visitor is invited to enter. In the inside, the walls, made up of LED screens and mirrors, endlesslypast thirty years. These have been assembled according to protocols fixed by the artist and combined with his personal iconography. They constitute a mental landscape of sorts, a window onto the creative process specific to Peter Kogler.

Peter Kogler was born in Innsbruck in 1959 and lives and works in Vienna (Austria). Peter Kogler has been the focus of numerous international exhibitions, including Documenta IX (1992) and X (1997) in Kassel, as well as representing Austria at the Venice Biennale (1995). He has enjoyed solo exhibitions in numerous institutions such as the MAMCO Geneva (2007), the MUMOK Vienna (2009), the Museu Colecção Berardo Lisbon (2009) and more recently at the MSU – Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb (2014), the Sigmund Freud Museum, Vienna (2015), and the ING Art Center,


Brussels (2016).

I photographed Berlin Living Rooms in black and white because the Polaroid film I used does not exist anymore. Also, I see the city in black and white, in part due to its Expressionist past—especially in the movies from the thirties (Pabst, Joseph von Sternberg) and forties (Billy Wilder) —and because of photographs: from an early age I saw photographs of Eric Solomon; their black-and-white gritty political outlook made an indelible impression on me. I loved the Berlin of the Wall. For a photography artist, it was an extraordinary historical landscape to photograph. In fact, I did photograph it a lot, and had held related exhibitions in New York, Paris (FNAC), Strasburg, and Koln.

At first glance, Nicolas Boulard’s works seem part of a specific heritage, that ofminimal art and conceptual art. The forms are geometric, circles, spheres, polyhedrons. The artist gives great importance to the void, to space, to time and geometry. However, in going closer to the works, the viewer perceives other information that comes from the living, the sentient world. Soil, cheese, water, wine are combined with strictly geometric forms. Nicolas Boulard takes samples from different landscapes to create improbable encounters. His entire approach functions in this way, through the encounter, the assembly of antipodes. The works then express a synthesis, a collision between minimal art, conceptual art, appropriationism, land art, dada, fluxism and surrealism. From Donald Judd to Hamish Fulton, by way of Jean Arp, Richard Long, Dan Flavin, Constantin Brancusi and Joseph Kosuth, he takes hold of forms and protocols


to give them new translations.
Mobility gives rise to a relationship between his body, the place in which he finds himself and the plastic process that will give an account of a singular experience. The method encounters the sentient. Nicolas Boulard takes samples of water to givee an idea of his excursions and his drifts. He brought a sample of water from Lake Geneva back to his studio. The water is presented, as is, between two framed glass plates. As time passes and the weather changes, it evolves, microorganisms develop, condensation appears, an ecosystem is installed. Barely perceptible, the water forms a line, a symbolic horizon. The work constituted the first step of a series in which the artist applied himself to collecting water from the landscapes photographed byHiroshi Sugimoto. Nicolas Boulard himself visits landscapes or sets up a cooperation network so that the water samples are sent to him. The original images are reduced to the essential. Water becomes a projection space. The same is true of the work formed by soil. On the wall, the diptych called Antipodes brings together two wood circles covered by soil, one ocher, the other a more reddish hue. By studying a map of the world, Nicolas Boulard established diametrically opposed zones. He then decided to work using soil found in the Cadix region in Spain, while the other sample came from Mount Roskill in Auckland, New Zealand. The two circles not only contain the unexpected encounter between these two zones, but also their geographies, their cultures, their landscapes


and their histories. In this sense, he applies psycho-geography as Guy Debord defined it: “One measures the distances that effectively separate two areas of a city, and that have nothing in common with what an approximate vision of a plan could have one believe.”
The son of wine-growers, Nicolas Boulard is attached to the living, to landscapes, gestures and the senses. Through his works, he assembles territories thought of as contradictory, starting with the exhibition itself, since it has the same name as the pub next door to the Eva Meyer gallery, The Quiet Man. Guy Debord and Robert Filliou accompany him. If he initially wanted to link the gallery and the pub by means of a door, a secret passage, he decided to transform the gallery’s basement intoan experimental space dedicated to the encounter, tasting, improvisation and exchange. An informal space open to drifts and possibilities.

After dedicating many shows to the Milanese art scene of the 1960s – with exhibitions of the works of Lucio Fontana, Enrico Castellani, Dadamaino, Turi Simeti and Paolo Scheggi – Tornabuoni Art Paris inaugurates a second journey into Italian art, with the exhibition La Dolce Vita: Avant-Garde Artists


in Post-War Rome.

La Dolce Vita refers to an historical period in Rome of the 1950s-1960s and specifically to new trends and lifestyle that became synonymous with Federico Fellini’s 1961 film, La Dolce Vita, a chef-d’oeuvre of Italian cinema.

In the 1950s, Rome was recovering from the wounds of WWII. While this dark past was in the background, these were the years of the economic boom and rebuilding, that came with a strong desire to make the most of life and celebrate beauty after the horror of war and Fascism. At that time Rome also became a destination that attracted international intellectuals and artists, such as Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly.

From the remains of the war emerged a wave of change, the birth of a modern era, with the formationof new artistic movements that would make their mark on the 20th century. This exhibition explores the way the art that emerged in Rome at this time – the Forma 1 and Origine groups and Roman Pop – were inspired by the cultural panorama of those years to push the boundaries of painting in a way that still influences contemporary art today. La Dolce Vita pays tribute to and documents this historical moment in Italian art with a selection of 40 museum- quality works, many – including those by Alberto Burri, Carla Accardi and Piero Dorazio – created between the 1950s and 1960s, and others made in the years following La Dolce Vita, by artists such as Jannis Kounellis and Mario Ceroli, directly inspired by their experiences of


the Post-War Roman art scene.

The first group of artists presented in the exhibition, named Forma 1, was founded in 1947 by Carla Accardi, Piero Dorazio and Giulio Turcato, among others. In their manifesto, published in the Forma 1 journal in April 1947, the artists claim to be “formalists and Marxists”, their ambition being to connect Marxist politics to abstract art. The group promoted a structural anti-realist, abstract art that gives importance to the form and the sign in their basic sense, excluding any symbolic or psychological representation in their work.

Carla Accardi, a researcher and experimenter, developed her own poetic painting style, at first based on interlocking geometric forms and later evolving into pseudo-calligraphic signs and informal improvisations with different materials, such as her colourful paintings on transparent plastic.Her work later influenced Arte Povera artists. Piero Dorazio and Giulio Turcato, painters of colour and light, attempted to express movement with their luminous textures. Dorazio in particular went against the tide of contemporary avant-gardes by questioning the role of colour and experimenting with all its possibilities, while Turcato in his work abolished the concepts of mass, volume and perspective. Forma 1 disbanded in 1951 but left a deep mark on 20th-century Italian Art.

The year 1951 also saw the birth of the Gruppo Origine of which Dorazio was also a member. Maintaining numerous contacts with American artists, such as Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg, the group was founded by Alberto Burri, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Ettore Colla and Mario Ballocco. The Gruppo Origine considered abstract art to be “decorative” and


instead sought to become the reference for non-figurative art, reducing colour to its simplest and most incisive expressive function, developing pure and elementary images.

During this period, Rome also benefitted from an intense dialogue with the USA through the strong influence of the language of American Pop Art. By the late 1950s, Italian Pop precursors emerged in Rome: Mimmo Rotella with his appropriation of street posters through layering, tearing and peeling; followed by the sculptures of Mario Ceroli. Italian Pop Art found its unity in the Roman group Scuola di Piazza del Popolo whose members included Tano Festa, Franco Angeli and Mario Schifano.

Roman Pop Art’s fertile experimentation with images and art differs from other contemporaneous Italian art scenes. Refusing to relinquish figuration, these artists developed their own artistic vocabulary,defined by cultural references to the past, art and its history, as can be seen in Tano Festa and his citations of Michelangelo, as well as in Mimmo Rotella’s collage-like works. These references to classical art also influenced the work of Pino Pascali and Renato Mambor.

In the creative setting of Post-War Rome, artists such as Mario Ceroli and Jannis Kounellis embarked on more radical experiments, creating sculptural forms and challenging traditional notions of artistic classification, materials and genre – ideas that later found fruition in Arte Povera.

As a tribute to Jannis Kounellis, who passed away last February, the final room of this exhibition will be dedicated to his monumental Untitled work from 1989, a 16-metre-long installation made of iron, lead, oil lamps and coal – materials typical of


of the nineteenth century, particularly in the field of knowledge and telecommunications.

Andrew Lewis anchors the starting point of his narration in the post industrial revolution era, which sees the culmination as well as the first contestations of the positive idea of technical progress. Focused primarily on the Victorian era - with a few exceptions such as the Parisian subway map (Bienvenue Bleuet, 2017) and the John Hancock Center, Chicago’s iconic skyscraper (Otis Platform, 2017) - through the strange encrypted and extremely documented portraits of their inventors, the artist portrays a series of technological innovations, their applications and evolutions over the following centuries. For example, the conversion of the Crystal Palace site, originally built to host the first world exhibition of 1851 and then converted into a television andof Andrew Lewis are like time machines. More than forms of homage to famous characters or inventions, they come to display and make visible, by means (and with the limits) of painting, some historical moments of transition.

However, far from being hymns to progress, these canvases are painted in an aesthetic both old and futuristic. Rather than conveying nostalgia for an era or past glory they display an ambivalent feeling of admiration and muffled anxiety, allowing Andrew Lewis to retranscribe the erosion of blind belief in technical progress.

Sidival Fila was born in 1962 in the Brazilian state of Parana, Brazil. He studied art in Sao Paolo before moving to Europe in 1985. It was during a study trip to Italy that he rst chose to devote himself to religion,


putting aside his work as an artist for a few years to become a priest.
While running the Franciscan monastery of San Bonaventura on Mount Palatine in Rome today, Sidival Fila has been working on an artistic activity for about ten years in his monastery, in a vast workshop overlooking the Roman Forum. e exhibition, organized with the complicity of art critic and exhibition curator Dominique Païni, brings together an exceptional collection of ten monochrome, pleated and sewn paintings. At the same time, the Church of Saint Eustache hosts a work by Sidival Fila which will be on display until the end of January 2018.

Praz-Delavallade is pleased to announce the fourth exhibition in Paris by New York and Berlin-based artist John Miller.

In this body of work, Miller presents fivethe World Trade Center and had these printed on the cups. He chose this site for formal reasons: the floor of the station is white and thus clearly offsets the commuters as individual figures. Because he shot these images in rapid succession, one finds many of the same figures in different configurations from cup to cup.

In the third part of the show, Miller examines contemporary urban space via an eight-minute PowerPoint slideshow. It is essentially a short-form photo essay that blends together narrative, criticism, appropriation, and poetry. Many of the images are simply blank close-ups of street and sidewalk surfaces, edited in rapid succession. Intercut with these are fragmentary quotations about urban space. Certeau has observed that city can only exist if its ordinary inhabitants, seen as pedestrians,

His work was selected for the 1985, 1991 Whitney Biennials, 2005 Lyon Biennial, as well as the 2010 Gwangju Biennale. Miller’s work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum, New York (US); MOCA, Los Angeles (US); Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh (US); the Museum Ludwig, Cologne (DE); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (NL); Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (US); Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (US). John Miller is a Professor of Professional Practice in Barnard College’s Art History Department, and in Berlin.

The Centre Pompidou is presenting André Derain 1904 - 1914. La décennie radicale (The Radical Decade), which takes a fresh look at the work of thismajor 20th century artist, tracing the various stages of his career before the First World War, when he was involved in the most radical avant-garde movements. Some remarkable groups of work have been brought together for the exhibition: his 1905 summer pieces painted in Collioure; a series of London scenes, and his very large dance and bather compositions.

The art of André Derain has not been the focus of any major monographic exhibitions since the 1994 retrospective at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris – in other words, for over twenty years. This French painter played a crucial intellectual role in the emergence of two major avant-garde movements in the early 20th century: Fauvism and Cubism. Early on, he made a solitary return to realism, foreshadowing


all the figurative movements of magic realism from the Ingrism of Picasso to the metaphysical painting of De Chirico and the New Objectivity of Germany. Derain’s daring, highly inventive pre-war work is fascinating. Derain, who was close to Maurice de Vlaminck and Henri Matisse, and then Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, engaged forcefully with Fauvism and Cubism, developing a powerful body of work up to the First World War. He experimented visually in many ways, tackling painting, drawing, xylography, sculpture, ceramics and film, and practised photography throughout his life, along side his painting.

The exhibition focuses on an exploration of Derain’s hitherto unexhibited archives – his photographs, collections of prints and artwork reproductions, writings and correspondence – and for the first time sheds considerable light on some of hismost iconic works through strong visual counterpoints: the photographs he took and his atypical artistic references, including Epinal’s engravings, the Maori objects he copied at the British Museum in 1906, and the African sculptures in his collection. The exhibition presents around seventy paintings, a large number of works on paper (watercolours, drawings, sketchbooks and engravings), sculptures and some fifty photographs, as well as Maori and African sculptures and ceramics.

Louis Cane is one of the exponents of the last French avant-garde movements, the Supports/ Surfaces group founded in 1970. During the 1970’s, the artist analytically explored the manners of presenting the « picture », considered as combination of coloured frame/field. In space, he presented his research on free canvases, cut, folded, stapled, vaporised, as in the exemplary Sol/Mur series,


through which he conducted a clear and conceptual reflection on the place of the passage.
His way of painting subsequently broadened out, throwing out, in other ways, questions about painting in the so-called post-modern era in which it was supposedly no longer possible for an artist to work « after » someone else.
Using resins on netting stretched over a metal frame, as in his Peinture(s) vraiment abstraite(s), the artist has since the late 1990’s revived the structuralist and analytical thinking of the Supports/Surfaces years, which is today being examined closely by the young American scene. And these works are indeed reminiscent of the different components of the picture/object: the colour, the frame, the structure of the stretcher and the canvas in the form of a metal covering. The translucentalludes to emptiness and silence. Its title itself, Wings, subliminally recalls air, which, in Caldas’s work, is associated with the space structuring the objects, and becomes a location for the projection of thought.

Caldas, who often uses only the contours of objects, as in Blue glasses (2012) where steel structures outline glasses without showing the physical objects, pushes the paradox between presence and absence – and between transparency and opacity – to its extreme. This paradox is reinforced through a play on mirrors, a recurrent technique in his work. Here again, the artist develops the idea of reflection without actually employing mirrors. In creating several planes where lines and objects replace the reflections of one another, the artist reveals a three-dimension mirror and materialises the idea of reflection, a


references to art history. The titles of his sculptures often allude to names of artists, such as Brancusi (2014), and trigger a reflection on the work of art itself, on the distance between art and art history.

Waltercio Caldas’s sculptures, while displaying a rare visual fineness and using such an economy of means, invite the viewers to experience his/her own reading of the work, somewhere between an immediate comprehension and an intellectual interpretation. In the same line as Umberto Eco, who, more than fifty years ago in The Open Work (1962), argued that the viewer was now part of the creation process of an art work, Caldas wants to involve his viewer in the experience of interpretation and opens multiple possibilities of meanings. What matters when approaching his work,is the precise and enigmatic moment of perception revealing the work as a process, an echo to phenomenological thought which argued that the object only exists in the eye of the viewer.

Waltercio Caldas was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1946, where he still lives and works.

His first solo exhibition took place at the Modern Art Museum of Rio de Janeiro in 1973 when he was only 27. Numerous museums and art institutions have dedicated exhibitions to his work since, including the Stedelijk Museum, Schiedam, Netherlands (1992), the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal (2008), the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, United States (2013), the State Pinacotheca in São Paulo, Brazil (2013), etc.

He represented Brazil in the 47th Venice Biennale and took

part in the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007.
