Forty-four Turkish Fairy Tales
This volume is a treasure chest of classic Eastern tales drawing on the rich folklore of Turkey. Forty-four Turkish Fairy Tales has not been in print for almost 100 years, mainly because the original edition had lavish production standards. On the used market, mint copies of the 1913 original can cost up to four figures.
This volume is appropriately titled Fairy Tales because something definitely fairy occurs. There are talking animals, flying horses, birds that magically change into beautiful maidens, quests to win the hand of a princess, magical objects, simple, yet brave, peasants, wizards, witches, dragons and dungeons, epic journeys, and loveable fools.
The majority of these stories contain encounters with Dews, or Turkish supernatural beings, better known in the West as 'Genies.' Sometimes the Turkish Dews are also called 'Arabs!' There are many other specifically Turkish elements and references in the stories, for which the glossary at the end of the book is of particular help. So this isn't simply an orientalised set of European Tales, but was drawn from an authentic Turkish oral storytelling tradition by Dr. Ignácz Kúnos . Plus, there are almost 200 illustrations exquisitely crafted by Willy Pogany. While our production is not as lavish as the original, it does contain the original illustrations.
Note: some of the illustrations could be considered unsuitable by 21st Century standards because they can be considered as caricatures with obvious ethnic stereotypes. However, in most cases, the illustrator is portraying imaginary creatures, which are supposed to be grotesque. Also to be remembered is the book was originally produced in 1913 when the worlds attitudes towards racial tolerance and acceptance were quite different to those of today.
Excerpt from Forty-four Turkish Fairy Tales
The Wizard and his Pupil
Once Upon A Time there was once a woman who had a son. To whatever school she sent him, he always ran away. Perplexed, the mother asked the boy "Where shall I send you?" To which he answered: "Do not send me, but go with me; if I like the place I will not run away." So she took him with her to market, and there they watched a number of men working at various handicrafts, and among them was a wizard.
The boy was very much attracted by this last, and requested his mother to apprentice him to the wizard. She went to the man and told him her son's desire. The matter was soon arranged to their mutual satisfaction, and the boy was left with his master, as the wizard was henceforth to be.
In the course of time the youth had learnt all that the wizard was able to teach him, and one day his master said: "I will transform myself into a ram; take me to market and sell me, but be sure to keep the rope." The youth agreed, and the wizard accordingly changed himself into a ram. The youth took the animal to the auctioneer, who sold it in the marketplace. It was bought by a man for five hundred piastres, but the youth kept the rope as he was instructed. In the evening the master, having resumed his human form, escaped from the buyer of the ram and came home.
Next day the wizard said to his pupil: "I am now going to transform myself into a horse; take me and sell me, but guard the rope." "I understand," answered the youth, and led the horse to market, where it was sold by auction for a thousand piastres. The pupil kept the rope, however, and came home. An idea struck him: "Now let me see," said he to himself, "whether I cannot help myself," and he went to his mother. "Mother," said he when they met, "I have learnt all that was to be learnt. Many thanks for apprenticing me to that wizard; I shall now be able to make a great deal of money." The poor woman did not understand what he meant, and said: "My son, what will you do? I hope you are not going to run away again and give me further trouble." "No," he answered. "Tomorrow I shall change myself into a bathing establishment, which you will sell; but take care not to sell the key of the door with it, or I am lost."
While the youth was thus discoursing with his mother, the wizard escaped from the man who had bought him as a horse, and came home. Finding his apprentice not there, he became angry. "You good-for-nothing; you have sold me completely this time, it seems; but wait until you fall into my hands again!" That night he remained at home, and next morning went out in search of his truant pupil.
The youth transformed himself into a beautiful bathing establishment, which his mother put up for sale by auction. All the people of the town were astonished at its magnificence, and multitudes collected round the auctioneer. The wizard was among the crowd, and guessed at once that this stately building was in reality his rascally pupil.
He said nothing of that, however, but when all the pashas, beys, and other people had bid their highest he bid higher still, and the building was knocked down to him. The woman was called, and when the wizard was about to hand her the money she explained that she could not give up the key.
Then the wizard said he would not pay unless he received it. He showed her that he had plenty of money, and observed to the woman that that particular key was of no importance to her; she could easily buy another if she must have one. Many of the bystanders expressed their agreement with the purchaser, and as the woman knew not the true significance of keeping the key, she parted with it to the wizard in return for the price of the bathing establishment. When she gave up the key the youth felt that his time had come, so he changed himself into a bird and flew away. His master, however, changed himself into a falcon and pursued him. They both flew a long distance until they reached another town, where the Padishah was entertaining himself with his court in the palace garden.
As a last resource, the youth now changed himself into a beautiful rose and fell at the feet of the Padishah. The King expressed his surprise at seeing the rose, as that flower was not then in season. "It is a gift from Allah," he concluded. "It smells so sweetly that not even in the rose-flowering season could its equal be found."
The wizard now resumed his human form and entered the garden, lute in hand, as a minnesinger. As he was striking his instrument he was observed by the Padishah, who, calling him, ordered him to play and sing his songs. In one of his impromptu ballads the singer requested the Padishah to give him the rose. Hearing this the King was angry, and said: "What say you, fellow? This rose was given me by Allah! How dare you, a mere wanderer, demand it?"
"O Shah," answered the singer, " my occupation is obvious; I have fallen in love with the rose you possess. I have been seeking it for many years, but till now have I been unable to find it. If you give it not to me I shall kill myself. Would not that be a pity? I have followed it over hill and fell, to find it now in the hands of the mild and gracious Padishah. Have you no pity for a poor man like me, who has lost love and light and happiness? Is it seemly to afflict me thus? I will not move from this spot until you give me the rose."
The Padishah was moved, and said to himself: "After all, of what consequence is the rose to me? Let the unfortunate man attain his object." Saying these words he stepped forward and handed the flower to the singer. But before the latter could grasp it, it fell to the ground and was changed into millet pulp. Quickly the wizard transformed himself into a cock and ate it up. One grain, however, fell under the Padishah's foot and so escaped the cock's attention. This grain suddenly changed into the youth, who picked up the cock and wrung its neck--in other words, he disposed of his master.
The Padishah was astonished at these strange proceedings, and commanded the young man to explain the riddle. He told the King everything from beginning to end, and the monarch was so delighted with his skill in magic that he appointed him Grand Vezir and gave him his daughter in marriage. The young man was now able to provide for his mother, and thus everybody lived happily ever after.

Macdonald Calabar photographs, EEPA 1996-019, circa 1895
Macdonald, Claude, Major General
135 negatives (photographic)
dupe negs
135 photographic prints
copy prints (2 v.)
8 x 10 in.
Photographic album formerly belonging to Major General Claude Maxwell Macdonald (1852-1915), Commissioner, Oil Rivers Protectorate, in West Africa, circa 1895. The album contains photographs of the consulate general in Old Calabar, Opobo and Bonny. Images, such as the arrival of Lady Macdonald in 1895 (returning from a home leave), interiors of British residences, and (named) group portraits of the British reflect colonial life and infrastructure. Native and British troops are depicted as well. Several images show the results of the British attacks on Brass and Nembe, in retaliation for King Nana's unwillingness to cooperate. Several images were taken of chiefs, among them a copy photograph of a 1882 image of King Nana of the Benin River, King Jaja of Opobo, King Koko of Brass, King Duke IX of Old Calabar, and King George Pebble of Bonny. Perhaps the most outstanding imagery is a series "On the way to Benin," which contains the photograph of an altar, a crucified woman, a forest path, and a contingent of British colonials. Several remarkable photographs depict Cross River masquerades with head crests, dances of Kru "Boys," and portray women of the Niger Delta. One photograph, showing the bronze sculpture of a Benin horseman placed on a rug in front of a wall (very likely taken in Nigeria), is of great interest for art historians. This particular figure left Benin before the city was ransacked and destroyed by the British Punitive Expedition in 1987, and, according to William B. Fagg, eminent historian of Nigerian art, came to the Merseyside County Museums, Liverpool, UK, as early as 1892 (note that Macdonald arrived in the Oil Rivers Protectorate in 1891).

Asimovian drama to gothic horror: Ex Machina's producers next film will be The Loney
Dany Roth
@danyordinary
Tag: Ex Machina
Tag: Stephen King
Last year, DNA Films produced Ex Machina, a landmark piece of science fiction that stood out from the whiz-bang pack of 2015 actioners by focusing on the complex moral implications of what actually could be. And now they've announced that they'll be adapting the critically lauded (and suitably creepy) novel The Loney.
Penned by Andrew Michael Hurley, The Loney, set in 1976, features a family setting out across the English coastline on an annual pilgrimage to a nearby shrine. The story, which focuses on brothers Tonto and Hanny, sees their parents trying to cure Hanny of his muteness, but, and I don't want to shock you, things don't exactly go according to plan. The home they're staying in is beset by a murderous tide twice daily. Oh, and there's a mystery concerning the death of a priest the year previous. And if that weren't enough to give your skin that unnatural crawl, our protagonists live across from a strange couple who seem to have a very underage, pregnant daughter in a wheelchair.
It's not hard to tell why The Loney already has an enthralled fanbase. It's got the kind of backwoods creepiness that feels all too real. Even king of horror Stephen King himself is under the novel's spell, saying, "The Loney is not just good, it's great. It's an amazing piece of fiction."
This won't be DNA's first foray into horror, either. Most notably they were involved with Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later and its sequel, 28 Weeks Later, both which set a haunting new standard for zombie stories.
Hopefully The Loney will follow in the footsteps of not only Ex Machina but recent horror gems like The Babadook, It Follows and the upcoming The Witch.

Steve Bannon's Devastating Paul Ryan Burn Will Make You Want to Crawl Into a Hole and Die
By Jay Willis
Bloomberg via Getty Images
Steve Bannon, the White House chief strategist composed of two parts vile racism and one part Jabba the Hutt, doesn't do many public appearances these days. But the nuggets that do trickle out about what he says in private indicate that he is equipped with an unsurprisingly sharp (and occasionally anti-Semitic) tongue. A new book profiling Bannon's meteoric rise from xenophobic blogger to West Wing confidante has already yielded some batshit details about his private life, but this one—an insult he used to describe Paul Ryan, whom Bannon feared would try to steal the nomination from Donald Trump at the GOP convention—is so devastatingly cruel that it made me want to lay down on the floor and quietly wait for death's sweet release.
Paul Ryan Still Hasn't Recovered from This Hero Teen's Devastating Dab
This is the only good dab of 2017.
Here it is, courtesy of TPM:
According to Green, Bannon also waged his assault-by-epithet aloud in Breitbart's Washington, D.C. headquarters: He described the House speaker as "a limp-dick motherfucker who was born in a petri dish at the Heritage Foundation."
A memorial service for what little remained of Paul Ryan's soul will be held on Thursday afternoon at 2 P.M. outside of the Ayn Rand Institute in Irvine, California. Attire is country club casual and/or grungy YMCA chic. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Planned Parenthood of America.

Fear of a Black Quarterback
How Cam Newton has stretched the sports world's racial barriers.
By Tommy Craggs

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton takes the field against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Jan. 3, 2016, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"You had to understand," Fritz Pollard Jr., the son of the NFL's first black quarterback, once told an interviewer. "You had to play within certain perimeters." He was talking about the boundaries imposed on a popular black athlete negotiating public life in the 20th century. His father was 18 on the day the country threw the Mann Act at Jack Johnson, and by the time Fritz Pollard had achieved a measure of fame for himself, as a player and coach in the American Professional Football Association, he knew well the margins of permission granted any black athlete.
The son of the NFL's first black quarterback was describing a sort of redlining of the imagination. I think of Pollard when I watch Cam Newton, the Carolina Panthers star who is having maybe the most compelling season of any black quarterback in history and who, smiling and dabbing and wearing Liberace's piano on his feet, remains for still too many a figure who conjures clammy demographic anxieties. And yet, when I watch Newton, I see the old perimeters moving.
Fritz Pollard played some 90 years before Cam Newton's NFL debut. He wasn't a quarterback as we understand the position today, and neither for that matter was professional football anything like the professional football of today. But there was something timeless about those perimeters, particularly as they pertain to black quarterbacks.
"Black athletes could succeed in the white-dominated athletic world," wrote John M. Carroll in his book about Pollard, "but only if they abided by an unwritten code of conduct both on and off the playing field."
The code applies to all sports, to varying degrees. You can be black and prideful, but only to the extent that you're willing to play the heel (Barry Bonds). You can be black and demonstrative, but only to the extent that you're willing to play the clown (Chad Ochocinco). Your flaws as an athlete are racial traits, and your physical "gifts" are, too, and your success is a matter of how effectively you transcend your brute atavisms and embrace the prevailing "white" idioms of play (Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, even Michael Jordan). You will be loved if you win often and win quietly and if all the while you hold yourself in such a way that you stand in exquisite contrast to the black athletes who lose too often or win too loudly (Kevin Durant, Joe Louis).
The code asserts itself like this: "Very disingenuous—has a fake smile, comes off as very scripted and has a selfish, me-first makeup." Nolan Nawrocki's infamous 2011 scouting report on Newton was no dog whistle. Subtler prose has been written on notes wrapped around bricks. "Always knows where the cameras are and plays to them. Has an enormous ego with a sense of entitlement that continually invites trouble and makes him believe he is above the law—does not command respect from teammates and always will struggle to win a locker room. … Lacks accountability, focus and trustworthiness—is not punctual, seeks shortcuts and sets a bad example. Immature and has had issues with authority. Not dependable."
And it works like this: In a November game in Nashville, Tennessee, Newton salted away the Titans with a late touchdown on one of those trademark quarterback keepers wherein he seems not so much to run but to roll downhill, waving the football in one big hand the way Walter Payton used to. He celebrated by dancing in the end zone, prompting one "Tennessee mom" who'd attended with her 9-year-old daughter to write an oh-my-stars-and-garters letter to the Charlotte Observer. "Because of where we sat, we had a close up view of your conduct in the fourth quarter. The chest puffs. The pelvic thrusts. The arrogant struts and the 'in your face' taunting of both the Titans' players and fans. We saw it all." The letter continues:
My daughter … started asking questions. Won't he get in trouble for doing that? Is he trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows he looks like a spoiled brat?
I didn't have great answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day, I redirected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.
It would be hard to argue that the Tennessee mom captured the national mood. She came off more like a holdout in a culture war long since ended, an old soldier bustling out of a cave with fixed bayonet, blinking in a new day's sun. So many people rushed to Newton's defense that it became clear the whole second-act-of-Footloose argument over ecstatic celebration in sports had already been won, and that the scowling tight-asses had assumed the minority position. (Newton's backup, a white guy named Derek Anderson, called the letter "flat-out racist.")
After Newton's gentle response to the note—he has a singular talent for retail politics—the Tennessee mom rowed back her initial sentiment. In an email to the Charlotte Observer's Jonathan Jones, she wrote: "I am sorry I didn't understand him better until this week. It is clear from his remarks that he recognizes his leadership role, both on and off the field, and that he truly cares about the kids watching him. I respect his comments just as much as he did mine, and I wish him nothing but continued success on the field and in life." (Here we note that the Tennessee mom, a woman named Rosemary Plorin, is employed in the field of crisis communications.)
Nothing seems to stick—not for long, anyway. The code is typically never more austere than when applied to black quarterbacks, a signal-caller being the emissary of his coach's will. But Newton keeps moving the chains.
In the past year or so, he has been ripped in some quarters for having a child out of wedlock. He has been criticized for openly aspiring to be an "entertainer and icon." He has been filleted for telling a TV reporter, "[S]o much of my talents have not been seen in one person," even though it happens to be true. But all of this, too, felt like an old culture war instinct—reflexive pandering by the media to a wave of disgust that never quite arrived.
The criticism about his kid amounted to two letters to the editor in the Charlotte Observer, one of which, to judge by the accompanying photo, was likely sent via Pony Express. Two letters is no more indicative of the public mind than are the piles of letters every newsroom in America receives daily about water fluoridation. Likewise, the "entertainer and icon" bit has gone dead, in part because the Panthers are winning and in part because the criticism was so plainly disingenuous, having originated with writer-brands like Peter King who often moonlight on television. (This is a minor hilarity that I'm sorry will never reach King in his redoubt deep within Roger Goodell's anal cavity.)
The heaviest thing you can say about Newton is that he is "polarizing," as ESPN did recently in an excellent profile. "He's not a quarterback; he's a Rorschach test," Tim Keown wrote. But this elides something unique about Cam Newton's appeal that helps explains how he has become, in Tom Brady's twilight and Peyton Manning's senescence, the grinning new face of the NFL. If he is not all things to all people, he at least has something to offer everyone.
In Cam, you find the stories of so many black quarterbacks who came before him. You find Fritz Pollard, sure—an entertainer and icon in his own right. But you also find Marlin Briscoe, an accused malcontent. You find Joe Gilliam, a clever operator who supposedly ran a slow 40-yard dash in a preseason workout, lest his coaches get the notion to convert him to a wide receiver or cornerback. You find Warren Moon, who also had to fight to remain a quarterback. (The University of Georgia recruited Newton to be a tight end.) You find Randall Cunningham, criticized for his flashy wardrobe, criticized for comparing himself to the likes of Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky—Randall Cunningham, who for so much of his career was reckoned a disappointment because he refused to plant his ass in the pocket, like any supposedly sensible quarterback.
And you find Joe Lillard, arrogant, haughty, hated even by some of his own teammates, a guy who likewise ran afoul of the amateurism mall cops during his brief time at Oregon in the 1930s. Lillard was once urged by a black columnist to "learn to play upon the vanity" of white people, for the sake not only of his career but of the cause of integration.
This is the triumph of Newton's season: He is the first black quarterback to run seemingly afoul of those vanities and not only get away with it, but reconcile them with a "black" style of play. This could only have happened in the context of a year like this one, in which Newton was reckoned to have improved the stereotypically "white" aspects of quarterbacking—accuracy, pocket awareness, and the like—while leading his team to within a few points of a perfect season. (Watch this play, though, and tell me how you could even begin to untangle his athleticism from his intelligence.)
But Cam Newton didn't observe the code; he made the code observe him. When the grouching over his end-zone dance commenced, this is what he said: "I heard somebody say we aren't going to allow you to do that, but if you don't want me to do it, then don't let me in. I just like doing it. It's not to be boastful. From the crowd's response, they like seeing it. … No disrespect to anybody, it's just a Panthers thing."
Everyone loved it. He was talking about winning. He was talking about the team. Prideful and demonstrative, but neither the heel nor the clown. He was respecting the perimeters, but somehow he was dancing within them, too.

Perhaps there is nothing new under the sun, but there's much that's new under the earth—or, rather, much that is very, very old keeps coming up and surprising us with its novelty. In recent decades, advances in surveying techniques and the overall shrinking of the globe have spurred the pace of archaeological discovery as never before; so too has the less welcome increase in site looting and black marketeering that has plagued war-torn parts of the Middle East and North Africa. Divers and subs, exploring once inaccessible waters, have brought sunken wonders to light, while retreating mountain snows have cast forth Stone Age mummies, some so well preserved that police detectives, rather than scientists, were initially summoned to the scene.
Even while new tombs and cities emerge from the dust, older sites continue to divulge their secrets. Pompeii and Herculaneum, the two Roman cities extinguished by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, are the Western world's first true digs, according to Eric Cline's intensely readable "Three Stones Make a Wall: The Story of Archaeology." Excavators have been busy there for more than three centuries, yet the sites keep on making headlines almost every year. Most recently, the world was told of a technique that may soon extract the words written on charred papyrus scrolls recovered from a private library in Herculaneum. In this way, objects resembling lumps of coal may someday furnish lost masterpieces of Greek and Latin literature.

Weary Spurs drag themselves to Old Trafford
SoccerNews in English Premier League, FA Cup 24 Jan 2009
Harry Redknapp has admitted he will be sending a makeshift side to Old Trafford for Tottenham's FA Cup fourth round tie against Manchester United.
Redknapp's side are feeling the affects of a demanding midweek League Cup semi-final win at Burnley and he has admitted he will be unable to field anything like a full-strength side against opponents his side will face again in the League Cup final on March 1.
This all bodes well for United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who is grappling with an injury crisis as his side bid to keep their pursuit of silverware on four fronts on track by advancing to the fifth round.
Redknapp, who watched his side come within minutes of throwing away a three-goal lead in a dramatic second leg against Burnley, now admits his main focus will be keeping Spurs in the Premier League.
Despite beating United on home soil with Porstmouth last season before going on to lift the trophy with victory over Cardiff City, Redknapp is clear about his priorities this season.
Defenders Jonathan Woodgate and Michael Dawson will be rested along with Jermain Defoe, as Redknapp prepares to field an even weaker team than the one which scraped home at Burnley.
Redknapp said: "With respect to Manchester United, I don't know what more I can do. It will be a different team again that goes to Old Trafford. OK, we've reached Wembley and that is fantastic, but the main objective remains staying in the Premier League and certain people will not be considered.
"We went to extra time against Burnley and have injuries, so we need to look at who is available for consideration."
This will be music to the ears of Ferguson, who will be without three members of his first choice back four as well as midfielder Anderson and Wayne Rooney.
United's reduced options could result in a rare starting opportunity for Portuguese international Nani, who admits he is desperate to play a more pivotal role than he has done so far this season.
The Portuguese winger is hoping his stunning strike against Derby County in the League Cup semi-final second leg in midweek will earn him a run in the side as Ferguson shuffles his pack.
"Last season was good. I was pleased with my games and my contribution to the team," Nani said.
"This season I hoped it would be better. When I get my chances my aim is to do better than I did at the start of the season.
"I want to play more. I would like to play more times but it hasn't been the same as last season.
"I feel good when I play and I try to do my best to help the team. In some games I have done well but others I haven't done so well, but this is football.
"Your fitness when you don't play every week suffers. But I am training good and keep preparing for the next match and hope to play.
"My focus is always on doing well for the team. If I do that then everything will be going well for me.
"I am still confident. It is difficult when you play one game and then are out for two matches. You want to stay in for a run of matches.
"You really need three, four or five games for your confidence to build and your fitness to be right. You can do anything when your confidence is high."

In this exclusive interview, Fintan Walton talks to Professor Nick Lench, CEO of London Genetics, about the company's vision to facilitate access for biotech and pharmaceutical companies to the wealth of genetic information and expertise at a number of London's leading academic institutes. Nick discusses the company's overall strategy, the services that it is providing and the benefits that a single point of access brings to London's genetics community.
London Genetics's role and purposes.
Hello and welcome to PharmaVentures Business Review face to face here in London. On this show I have Nick Lench, CEO of London Genetics, welcome to the show.
Nick Lench:
Nick, London Genetics is an organization that's been set up relatively recently you are obviously the CEO of that organization could you tell us what London Genetics is all about and how it came about?
Yes. We are a new company we are formed in April of this year and we bring together London's leading research institutions. So our partners have signed up to the company it's the first time that these institutions have come together to collaborate in the field of genetics. So we have seven partners they are Imperial College, University College, King's College, Queen Mary, St. George's, The Institute of Cancer Research and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
That's amazing to pull so many people together into one organization that's a, feat in itself, so now that the organization is set up what is it's purpose, what are you what's the role of London Genetics?
Well our main aim is to give pharmaceutical companies and biotech companies access to the incredible range of resources and expertise across London. So clearly you know we have access to huge range of biomedical expertise to the medical schools and the teaching hospitals at London, so we offer companies really a single point of contact into London.
Expertise in genetics and aim of putting together research collborations.
Right. So just to get this clear, so somebody or an organization whether it's a private or not or even another not for profit organization is trying to access genetic expertise let's call it in its broader sense in the London area one good place to go through is to London Genetics, is that correct?
Yes, because we have specialist knowledge in genetics. Our team are all trained in the molecular genetics we've also have industry experience, experience in the biotech sector, so I think we are incredibly well placed to understand the needs all of our customers, but also are able to talk to as for our internal customers and know exactly who the right people to go to.
So you also commercialize intellectual property that's within these universities that are relevant to genetics?
Our role isn't to commercialize IP ourselves, we work very closely with the business development and tech transfer units of each of our partners, so they will take new IP and be responsible for commercializing that, however through the commercial through the research collaborations that we put in place novel IP will arise and then that will be taken on board to commercialize through the relevant offices in our partner institutions.
So if we could sort of visualize that sort of make it clear what London Genetics is about, so for example if I was a large pharmaceutical company and I had some specific targets that I was trying to identify or I thought had identified and there was some expertise and knowledge within one of your research institutes they come to you presumably you provide them with access and then they could fund the specific piece of research or enter a collaboration with that pharmaceutical company?
Yes, yes. I mean our main aim is really is to put together research collaborations, so what you might call early stage discovery research.
And we are also well placed to as you say bring the relevant experts in that in any particular field to a customer as well so we can identify key opinion leaders for example who customers may wish to work with. In addition we believe that we can position ourselves very well in the biomarker, discovery and validation area. So we can offer access to a huge range of clinical cohorts well validated the large amounts of associated data particularly there may be cohorts who are this associates at drug response stage as well, so we are the seeing the companies very interested in accessing that expertise. So I think we are actually uniquely placed.
Funding through LDA, Focus on human healthcare and diagnostics.
So why did this compared that the universities themselves feel that they where - they are basically effectively competing with each other all the time and there wasn't one voice or you know why what was the driver for creating that genetics?
That's certainly one of the main drivers, also we are funded through the London Development Agency. So there was a big portion of LDA to really bring together they recognize expertise in London but more historically there is lot of competition between these large institutions understandably and this was really an attempt by the LDA to bring everybody together and say look there is an opportunity here to really, really put London on the map and to compete on the world stage with centres such as Boston, San Francisco, Singapore so it's really about competing internationally.
Right. And the other thing of course as we know genetics in it as a term is a very broad area, does that include things like AgBio, does it include diagnostics what does it include?
Yes. What we our main focus is human healthcare and that's not to say that we aren't interested in associated areas such micro biology and virology but principally we are focused on human healthcare. But we will cover very broad range of activities of everything from discovery research through to diagnostics so we are interested in developing new, identifying developing new DNA markers that can be used for example as companion diagnostics, we are interested in the whole field of pharmacogenetics, we are interested in how genetics can add value to the whole drug discovery process. And I think the shift in big pharma these days is to be able to perform clinical trials more quickly, more cost effectively and I think that's where genetics can play a very significant role.
London Genetics's expertise, mission and the ways of attracting companies.
Right. And clearly one can understand that some of the talent and assets are the people, but what else is there other things like cell banks and other tangibles that London Genetics has access to that, that will make that attractive to companies to come down?
Yes, yes exactly. So London the academic and clinic base of London within that there are some amazing bio banks, tissue banks, clinical cohorts across the all therapeutic areas. So you know we have large cohorts of for example you know breast cancer and diabetes there is a twin Cohort Study based in ST. Thomas's hospital and all these are absolutely astonishing resources that clearly can have huge value and can help the whole drug discovery, drug validation process.
So London Genetics itself is there as a non-profit organization so it's mission is not to become a company which is going to generate profits and revenues in the future obviously it wants it wants to have some cash flow going through, but it doesn't have a it's not setting out to become a independent company that will possibly be floated on the London Stock Exchange though looking out there?
No that's certainly not the intention at the moment, I mean we are looking to recover our operating costs to be able to be self sustaining and the added value that we can bring to the partners is, is why our members important to the companies you know it's making the connections across London, it's bringing better deals into the partners and it's also creating a genetics community for the academic for the academic base in London as well.
Right. So it's been going for six months...
and so how is it going?
Yes, now it's going very well, we have lot of interests. I think a lot of customers are seeing the advantage, the time and cost saving of using us a single point contact into London clearly very interested in the clinical expertise and the clinical resources that's are available. We've already worked with a number of companies and we are really helping to validate products for those.
So you are actually entering into contracts right now?
That's right. Yes, yes and....
Okay. Any of those you can publically announce or it's just a...?
We had a press release recently last month focusing what we've did with Oxford Gene Technology. This was looking at the validation of some micro rays that they've developed particularly looking at in a clinical genetic setting looking to validate markers that define development delay and mental retardation in patients.
London Genetics's Future plans and it's services.
Okay. And so what do you see going into the future for London Genetics? What do you envisage happening let's say over the next three-years?
I would like to see us become you know the first protocol for companies when they think about London, when they think genetic based projects and collaborations that I'd like them to think of us first, that we can provide the first class service, the professional service that people want to use and clearly know that we are extremely well connected across the whole of London.
So what event would you like to see that would make you feel that you are proud of what you've just done?
Well clearly a good deal flow is always very important. And I think a good range of deals as well, so not just working with you know we have worked with big pharma and biotech and with small companies with technology developers, technology providers. So we're very interested in working with platform technology companies as well, because I think there is an opportunity there for our scientists to help you know develop and validate the new technologies as they come on board.
Okay. Well Nick Lench, thank you very much indeed for coming along to our show and for us to learn more about London Genetics.
Thank you very much indeed.

Vermont Business Round Table/EPR first Quarter 2015 Business Conditions Survey Released (March 2015)
The VBR/EPR Business Conditions Survey for the first quarter of 2015 has been released. For the fourth quarter in a row most responses said that the state's business outlook was neutral to mildly optimistic. Employers continue to have difficulty finding qualified workers, with a majority of employers expressing negative outlooks for finding qualified workers. In a first for the survey, the Professional/Technical Services sector had the most optimistic outlook.
Watch EPR's Amanda Wassel discuss the survey online and find broadcast times here:

Yamaha Artist Jarred Dunn has been described by critics as "a piano sound-colour magician" (Muzikos Barai, Vilnius), "evocative and mystical" (New York Classical Music), "technically perfect" by Belarusian First Radio, and "a virtuoso with the most exquisite touch" (Freethought Today, Madison). Mr. Dunn is featured on the 2018 CBC Top 30 Under 30: Hot Canadian Classical Musicians (CBC) and in 2019 he hosted CBC's This is My Music.
Mr. Dunn is the First Prize and Concerto Award winner of the 2018 Lithuanian International Chopin Competition (Vilnius), leading to his premiere with the Lithuanian Chamber Symphony in November 2018 and a finalist/prizewinner in the 1st Jan Hofmann International Competition in Kraków. His first recording, Chopin and Debussy, was produced by Dan Barker (Freedom From Religion Foundation) and recorded by Audio for the Arts (Madison, WI). He has been heard on the CBC, WQXR New York, Belarus First Radio Minsk, and Freethought Radio-Television in Madison (WI).
Upcoming appearances in the 2019/20 season include Brahms Piano Concerto in D Minor, Op. 15 with York Philharmonic Orchestra (Richmond Hill Performing Arts Centre) and Mozart Piano Concerto in A Major K488 with Niagara Symphony Orchestra (First Ontario Performing Arts Centre).
Mr. Dunn has performed worldwide as a recitalist, chamber musician, and soloist with orchestras, and his career has included invitations to perform in Poland, Hungary, Belarus, Slovakia, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, Malta,The Czech Republic, England, United States, Canada, China, and Australia. He enjoys playing solo recitals, a capacity in which he performs regularly. Following an all-Chopin recital in Warsaw, one critic wrote,
Of course, the playing of the brilliant Canadian performer did not lack the "Polishness" that he had a chance to learn thoroughly from the best Polish teachers during his Master's Studies in Katowice or later in Bydgoszcz. The "Polishness" was audible in every piece: from Nocturne in C minor op. 48 with its drama that was built by the pianist from the very first chords and the tragic ending, through Scherzo in E major op. 54, played with a great sensitivity, brilliant sound and technical mastery, to the brilliant Polonaise Fantaisie op. 61, a piece that is very complex harmonically and difficult in many aspects. Jarred Dunn showed his virtuosity, amazing sense of style, elegance and noble - but not excessive - sensitivity, passion - without being pathetic, beautiful piano and powerful forte, melodious - but not sugary - cantilena, broad phrasing and very rich, nuanced range of sounds.

Winter Citrus is a 15 minute film and installation that asks how we immerse ourselves in isolation, solitude, love, prayer and ritual. First of a four part installment, Winter Citrus begins in deep winter.
Our protagonists guide us through reinvigorated ritual, familial wandering, ancestral recollections and at times self musings. A moment of togethered isolation, this film's installation offers the audience the intimacy of film manipulation and theatrical immersion.

5 Embarrassing Predictions Made by Famous Tech Experts
It's difficult to predict which technological innovations consumers will adopt into the fabric of their everyday lives. Those working closely with technology can get a better glimpse of how much impact the novelties of tomorrow will have but that goes without saying that technology has a mind of its own. Not even these so-called experts were able to provide tech predictions as to the direction of rather new developments. Their iterations prove that when it comes to divining the future of technology, it's best to hold high expectations and be remembered as optimistic, rather than risking underestimating a technology and risk appearing foolish.
Bill Gates, the richest man on Earth and founder of Microsoft, set the record straight denying allegations stating "I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time." Though the misquote can't be traced back to Bill Gates, he did share his auspicious hopes that "Two years from now, spam will be solved".
Thomas Watson, IBM Chairman, known as "the world's greatest salesman" can be credited for single-handedly building IBM into a juggernaut company. At first glance, the statement appears like a lapse in judgment. But taking into account that the first computers weighed approximately 30 tons and spanned up to 3 stories high, Thomas Watson's 1943 calculation remained true for at least a decade before computers began to become smaller and more powerful.
The actual quote from Popular Mechanics reads: "Where a calculator like ENIAC [the first computer] today is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh only 1½ tons". At the time, a computer that weighed 1.5 tons was unheard of and the quote captures Popular Mechanics' optimism about future improvements in computer technology. Unfortunately, the magazine's foresight was cut short. Today's mobile smart devices only weigh a fraction of a pound. But in 1949, even a 1.5 ton computer stretched people's imagination.
Ken Olsen, a computer industry legacy that paved the way for what would later become the personal computer, has admitted to making the remark but argues that it has been taken out of context and that he was referring to mainframe computers. It's precisely his background with mainframe computers and his past with creating flight simulators for the US Navy that might have led him to underestimate the utility of personal computers.
Robert Metcalfe, credited as the inventor of Ethernet and founder of 3Com, wrote an article for PC Magazine in 1995 and gave the internet a one year expiration date. To be fair, back in 1995, the internet was still a rather novel, bleeding edge technology. But Robert Metcalfe expressed such confidence in his statement that he promised to eat his words if his forecast did not come true. And he did. In 1997, Robert Metcalfe delivered on his promise and blended a copy of his column an proceeded to eat "the cloudy, pulpy substance with a spoon before slurping down the bowl's contents" before a crowd of 1,000 people.
Do you think Robert Metcalfe redeemed his word? Let us know what you think! Leave us a comment below.

Budget cut affects program for low-income students
LCPS budget cuts are curtailing the participation in the K-3 Plus Program, which starts the school year early for students in low-income areas.

LAS CRUCES - The school year launched this week for an estimated 2,000 children across the city enrolled a yearly program meant to help students in low-income areas get a jump-start on reading and math.
However, the number of children participating in the K-3 Plus Program, which kickstarts a student's school year in July instead of August, is several hundred fewer than a year ago, thanks to state and district funding cuts affecting LCPS.
More: A compromise, but at what price for LCPS?
Classes began Thursday at 18 elementary schools throughout the district and will run through early August, just prior to the start of the district's traditional calendar. That's down from 25 schools that hosted the program in 2016, LCPS officials said.
Students in kindergarten to third grade who attend the program get a boost headed into the fall semester, LCPS officials said.

"By starting the school year early, the program allows teachers to focus on literacy, numeracy, technology and social development," said LCPS Assistant Superintendent of Leadership Tiffany Gomez, in a news release.
More: Economist testifies that New Mexico skimps on poor students
There are not only academic advantages, said Erlinda Martinez, LCPS associate superintendent for instruction. Students in the program get three meals each day, five days a week.
"It also helps with social needs," she said. "It benefits the kids."
Fewer dollars from the state
The New Mexico Public Education Department funded 22 schools for K-3 Plus a year ago, according to Martinez. And LCPS used its funding to cover the costs of an additional three schools, for a total of 25. Nearly 2,700 students attended in 2016.

This year, LCPS received notice from the Public Education Department that its K-3 Plus program was subject to a 15 percent budget cut. In addition, the district, because of budget constraints, couldn't fund the three additional schools it did last year, Martinez said.
More: LCPS board hikes Ewing's pay, issues 2-year contract
This year, the Las Cruces district will turn to a pool of federal funds, known as Title I, to help fully staff the 18 schools that are carrying the program, Martinez said. That's likely to reduce that Title I funding, which also helps pay for other district-wide efforts to benefit low-income students, by about $400,000.
Students attending the K-3 Plus program attend the school they normally would in the fall semester; they just start earlier. It's an optional to parents as to whether they enroll their children. The program runs through Aug. 8.

While all students who'd normally attend a school that's been designated as K-3 Plus program are eligible to apply, there are waiting lists as some facilities because of demand, school officials said.
More: 24 students receive diplomas at LCPS summer school commencement
"I think the last couple of years we've had some good response," Martinez said.
Parents can call their child's school to see if there are any openings remaining, LCPS officials said.
Schools eligible for program funding, which launched in 2007, must have at least 80 percent of students who qualify for a free or reduced-price school lunches or they must have received a D or F school grade from the PED in the past year, according to an LCPS news release.

German court declares Auschwitz suspect fit for trial
A german court concluded that Hubert Z could stand trial
A German appeals court has reversed a lower court's decision that a 95-year-old former SS sergeant who served as a medic in the Auschwitz death camp is not fit for trial.
The Rostock state court said it concluded after hearing more expert testimony that Hubert Z could stand trial, though possibly with shortened sessions and other safeguards for his health.
The suspect is accused of having served as a medic in an SS hospital at Auschwitz in 1944.
Schwerin prosecutors charged him with 3,681 counts of accessory to murder earlier this year, arguing that by serving as a medic he helped the extermination camp in Nazi-occupied Poland function.
A lower court in Neubrandenburg ruled in June he was unfit for trial, but prosecutors appealed. No trial dates have been set.

Histon FC
Norwich City link-up will help Histon revamp youth section, says chairman
Partnership was announced in the summer and cemented this week
Tim Street
Alex Kaufman from NCRDP presents a signed shirt to Histon chairman John Hall.
Histon FC hope their partnership with Premier League side Norwich City will continue to the club's rebirth with an overhaul of the youth section.
From next season, Histon's U13, U14, U15 and U16 sides will be run in conjunction with the Norwich City Regional Development Programme, in a deal first announced back in July.
The link-up was cemented on Tuesday night when Norwich City RDP manager Alex Kaufman presented a signed Canaries shirt to Stutes chairman John Hall before their Cambs Invitation Cup quarter-final against Cambridge City.
For Hall, the partnership is the natural progression for a club moving in the right direction again after a decade of spiralling downward.

Histon boss mulls over his goalkeeping options following Roach's red
With the first team winning the Eastern Counties Premier title last season and comfortably adjusting to life in the Isthmian League, the time has come to secure a pathway for the club's youngsters.
"We're looking to grow our youth football and Alex wants to expand his programme, and we'll be the club providing it," said Hall, who will be standing down as club chairman at the end of the season.
"Alex is a local lad who knows all about the club already, and the link-up will begin from next season, with a youth programme from the U13s through to the U16s.
"When the club was struggling financially we out-sourced our youth section, and we weren't able to get it back in-house when we wanted to, so this is starting from scratch.

Lance Key salutes a return to the "Histon of old"
"It's about a better standard of football moving into our scholarship programme, our reserve team and eventually our first team, securing the club's future.
"We got through the financial issues and now we're looking to move forward. We made the club stable after some tough times and now we want to grow it again."
All of which came in a week when one of Histon's most recent success stories, defender Zak Mills, scored his first goal for Oldham Athletic, after spells with Grimsby Town and Morecambe.
Unfortunately, Hison weren't able to get a positive result to match the off-pitch celebrations on Tuesday night, as they bowed out of the cup 2-0 to their Bridge Road tenants.

Ipswich Town cast their eye over young Histon defender
One positive note was that manager Lance Key was able to give Lewis McDonald, Lee Smith and Evan Key their first starts in over two months, while U18s forward Owen Mullee made his debut as a second-half substitute.
Despite being knocked out of that cup, Histon have been readmitted into another after being handed a place in the knockout stages of the Velocity Trophy in place of Ware.
The group stage format saw only the group winners progress – which had been Ware – but the Hertfordshire club were this week docked three points after fielding an ineligible player in their tie against Harlow Town.
That means Histon are now the group winners and will go on to play Isthmian Premier side Brightlingsea Regent in the next round, with a date to be confirmed.
