Guthrie’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ is a dark and reflective take in line with the times | In-Line Filter

You can now use the fingerprint sensor to pull down the notification bar, or push it back up. It’s a feature available on several Android phones already, such as the Google Pixel 2 XL, but we’re happy to see it present on the S9 and S9 Plus. It’s especially handy on the S9 Plus, as it can be tough to reach the top of the 6.2-inch phone. You’ll need to toggle this setting on first, though, so head to Settings > Advanced features, and tap the toggle next to Finger sensor gestures. If you tap Finger sensor gestures, you’ll also be able to turn on a gesture to open Samsung Pay by swiping up on the sensor on the home screen.

And now there has been Surrounded Islands. Like all of Christo’s projects, it too has disappeared—“vanished,” as Christo would say‚ in all its pink glory. (Even its staunchest opponent, Kassewitz, admitted a few months afterward that it was “pretty.”) It is this “vanishing,” Christo muses, that infuriates people most of all, because it seems so irresponsible. But it also the basis for the credibility—the history of pulling off large-scale works in the environment without, so far, an irreversible hitch—that he considers his greatest “capital gain.”

Danila’s work focuses on improving CTC detection. To do that, many are investigating new ways of harvesting CTCs. In 2016, Danila and his colleagues published a paper in The Cancer Journal that showed that two detection methods, AdnaTest Assay and ddPCR analysis, both detected cancer cells in spiked samples of blood more often than CellSearch. AdnaTest correctly found CTCs in 62% of the samples, ddPCR detected cells in 69% and CellSearch had a 45% detection rate. “The ddPCR assay required the lowest blood volume, least on-site processing, and longest stability for batch processing,” the researchers wrote. “We need increased sensitivity. It’s hard to monitor our patients if we can’t detect CTCs, which serve as surrogate markers for survival in many cancer types.”

But he has managed quite a lot. He has tackled air, land, and sea, if not yet fire. In the air, most stunningly (and most precariously), there was the 5,600 Cubic Square Meter Package, 1968, which almost didn’t tower over Documenta 4 in Kassel, West Germany. On land, there was the orange Valley Curtain that finally spanned obscure Rifle Gap in Colorado for 28 hours in 1972, before a storm proved its undoing. There was Running Fence of 1976, perhaps the most spectacular of Christo’s projects, with its two million square feet of white fabric undulating over 24½ miles of California’s hilly Sonoma and Marin counties for 14 days. And, most recently, there was the much smaller-scale saffron-colored Wrapped Walkways that branched through a park in a quiet residential area of Kansas City, Missouri, for two weeks in October 1978. On or near the sea, there have been the Australian coast project of 1969—a million square feet of erosion-control fabric draped over cliffs and shore—and the 1974 Ocean Front in Newport, Rhode Island.

These days, Christo and Jeanne-Claude are in the long, quiet process of codifying and consolidating. They are curating the 270-piece Surrounded Islands exhibition, which will travel to nine European museums (beginning with the Sonja Henie-Niels Onstead Foundation in Oslo in the fall of 1984) and eventually reach the United States; they are preparing two books on the Miami project and a small pocket paperback for German audiences on the Reichstag project. And they are choosing illustrations for a book on Christo by a French writer and for a monograph on the artist that will be published in Japan. All of which, in effect, is a long-term, culminative campaign against the enjoinder “no.”

Prisma has been a TNW favorite for a while now. The app allows you to upload photos, apply some really amazing artistic filters — with new filters released each day — and share your creations on social media. It’s been around since 2016, and we still haven’t been able to put it down.

5. AD TERMS OF REFERENCE PARAGRAPH 20.1 – 20.4: RECOMMENDATIONS OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY EQUAL EDUCATION IN RESPECT OF IT’S POLICIES, GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS AND PRACTICES IN RELATION TO ANY PERSON OR MATTER CONTAINED WITHIN OR RELEVANT TO THESE TERMS OF REFERENCE:

… For months, local residents, including North Side MLA Ezzard Miller and Newlands MLA Al Suckoo, have been airing complaints about the Department of Environmental Health’s inconsistent collection of garbage …. Garbage collection is among the “unsexiest” functions of government, but it is a fundamental service that impacts a diversity of core government responsibilities, including environmental health, public health and economic vibrancy. What tourist (or resident) would want to spend money in a place littered with unsightly and unsanitary refuse?

284. Everyone in the apparently small group involved in the ‘rumours’ perceived the need to move swiftly. So the process proceeded apace. Rumours emerged and small group(s) had discussions; there was at least one meeting of a ‘management’ group on 2nd June resulting in an email of 3rd June by Adler’; Ensor (as a member of the Board and as Chair of the Human Resources Subcommittee was approached shortly thereafter); Ensor wrote to Achmat as Chair on 5th June advising Achmat this this matter should be investigated; Isaacs and Hasson exchanged emails on 5th June as to whom should approach the Chair; Isaacs did approach Achmat on 6th June; on 7th June Achmat had a lengthy discussion with Hasson; the next day 8th June Hasson sent to Achmat his submission which was in the form of a complaint for investigation; that same day , 8th June, Achmat contacted the Human Resources Subcommittee setting out the background, perceived difficulties and cautions and giving them the Terms of Reference and also attaching the Hasson submission; on 9th June, an agenda was prepared indicating that both Hasson and Isaacs were to be present and have their say; Isaacs had also prepared a response which was available on that day; on Saturday 11th June the hearing was held.
