"Mums visiem ir "Straume" un "Oskara" prieki, jo Gints Zilbalodis ir tieši tāds, kāds viņš ir. Rāms, nesatricināms un pārliecināts par savu lietu. Nebaidās atšķirties un pateikt nē. Patīkami vienaldzīgs pret Holivudas zvaigžņu putekļiem, jo skaidri zina, kādu kino vēlas veidot un kas tam ir vajadzīgs. Un vēl viņš ir ļoti noguris no sev pievērstās uzmanības un vēlas, lai skatās viņa filmas un liek mierā pašu. "Oskaros" gan tas nebija iespējams, bet pēc tam ļausim Gintam uzelpot un taisīt kino, ko viņš vēlas vairāk par visu pasaulē." Tā savā feisbuka profilā pirms dažām dienām rakstīja Latvijas Radio žurnāliste Māra Rozenberga, kura kopā ar "Straumes" radošo komandu un savu kolēģi, Latvijas Televīzijas žurnālisti Andu Bošu, arī bija Holivudā, klātienē izbaudīja "Oskaru" pasniegšanas ceremoniju, bet nu atgriezusies Latvijā... Par izjusto un pieredzēto Māra un Anda stāsta intervijā "Klasikas" galvenajai redaktorei Ingai Saksonei. Inga Saksone: Abas esat burtiski "uz izķeršanu" visos LSM kanālos, jo visi grib pietuvoties tai sajūtai, kādu jūs piedzīvojāt visu šo laiku Amerikā. Arī mēs "Klasikā" parunāsim par "Oskariem".  Anda Boša: Protams, desmit stundu laika starpība ir kaut kas, ko var uz ādas sajust tikai tad, kad patiešām esi tur un saproti, ka, ja tu gribi uztaisīt sižetu, tev ir jāstrādā vienpadsmitos, divpadsmitos naktī, kad Latvijā jau ir deviņi, desmit no rīta. Un tie ir tie spēles noteikumi, kuros ir jāfunkcionē. (smejas) Un kādi vēl bija specifiskākie spēles noteikumi, tieši tur darbojoties? Māra Rozenberga: "Oskara" organizācija puse ir ārkārtīgi specifiska un ļoti, ļoti reglamentēta, jo pieprasījums uz žurnālistu dalību "Oskaros" ir milzīgs un atlase ir liela, tāpēc mēs abas ar Andu, katra atsevišķi un abas kopā, bijām ārkārtīgi priecīgas, kad beidzot saņēmām e-pastu no ASV Kinoakadēmijas, ka mūsu akreditācija ir apstiprināta.  Anda Boša: Jā, jo patiesībā žurnālistu akreditācija uz "Oskariem" bija beigusies jau pagājušā gada 25. novembrī. Tas ir tāds pasākums, kas lielajiem medijiem ir ļoti plānots , un tur tiešām ir žurnālisti, kas to dara katru gadu un piesakās droši vien laikā, ne tā kā mēs. (smejas) Atceros, ka pirmo e-pastu "Oskariem" aizsūtīju starp Ziemassvētkiem un Jauno gadu, lai vienkārši saprastu, kādas ir iespējas. Vai vispār, ja būtu tāda situācija, ka Latvijai būtu "Oskara" nominācija, būtu iespēja domāt par to, ka mums varētu būt arī kādas akreditācijas iespējas.  Māra Rozenberga: Bet nu tomēr "Oskaru" organizatori izrādījās vēlīgi... Kas interesanti: Andai uz vienu no šiem e-pastiem, ko viņa sūtīja uz anonīmo e-pastu publicity@oscars.org, pēkšņi atbildēja meitene latviešu valodā: "Sveiki, mani sauc Skaidrīte, bet darbā visi mani sauc par Skai... Mani vecvecāki emigrēja uz ASV, un es strādāju "Oskaru" organizatoru komandā!" (smejas) Tā kā - jā, mums tomēr bija mazās valsts priekšrocība, ka mums ir viena filma ar divām nominācijām, un mēs bijām kaut kādā ziņā mazliet priviliģētākā situācijā nekā daudzi citi žurnālisti, kas strādā ASV medijos un droši vien visu dzīvi sapņo, ka viņi beidzot nokļūs "Oskaros" un varēs par to ziņot. Mums tiešām paveicās ar to, ka, pateicoties "Straumei", uz šī viļņa tad arī mēs tur varējām nokļūt. Anda Boša: Ja salīdzinātu visas ceremonijas un pasākumus, visvienkāršāk laikam mums gāja ar Eiropas Kinoakadēmijas balvu Šveicē, kas notika decembra sākumā. Tur visa organizēšanas kultūra bija ļoti demokrātiska un pieejama. Aizbraucu uz turieni, vēl nesarunājot nevienu konkrētu interviju, bet to bija iespējams ļoti vienkārši izdarīt turpat uz vietas. (..) Ļoti demokrātiski un pieejami! Māra Rozenberga: Un organizatori tevi burtiski aiz rokas aizved uz interviju! (..) Tur patiešām bija patīkamā ekskluzivitātes sajūta par to, ka Eiropas žurnālisti dzīvo daudz aristokrātiskākos apstākļos attiecībā uz iespēju piekļūt filmu zvaigznēm, jo tajā brīdī, kad zvaigznes ir atbraukušas uz Eiropu, viņas ir mūsējās un mēs varam viņām tikt klāt, kamēr "Oskaros" viss notiek pēc viņu spēles noteikumiem: viņi tur ir mājās, un tur ir daudz izteiktāka hierarhijas sistēma. Pie sarkanā paklāja mums pat nebija cerību tikt - nevis tāpēc, ka nebūtu labas diezgan, bet tāpēc, ka neesam gana starptautiskas. Tās pārdomas, kas man bija, redzot kaut vai nelielu daļiņu no organizācijas aizkulisēm... Kaut kur man visu laiku prātā ija tas teikums, ka ne viss ir zelts, kas spīd. Lai gan "Oskars" patiešām ir apzeltīts, tas ir no bronzas, ļoti spīdīgs un smags, bet amerikāņi ļoti daudz ko panāk ar ārkārtīgi spēcīgu un izcili nostrādātu mārketingu... Nenoliedzami, tā ir pasaules ietekmīgākā kinoindustrija, bet, sarunās no cilvēkiem dzirdot, kādā veidā top šie "Oskara" lēmumi, cik milzīga ietekme ir naudai, mārketinga kampaņām, dažādiem citiem aspektiem, cik bieži vien arī cilvēki filmas mēdz arī nebūt noskatījušies, bet vienalga balso par tām, jo viņiem šķiet, ka tās varētu būt labas vai kuras filmas plakātu viņi vienārši ir vairāk redzējuši... Ir arī tādi gadījumi. Kaut kādā ziņā bija sajūta, ka [ar "Straumi"] oticis tāds liels, liels brīnums, ka tiešām šī mākslinieciski augstvērtīgā filma ir uzvarējusi un ka ir notikusi mākslinieciska, nevis komerciāla taisnība. Anda Boša: Mārai bija ļoti interesanta saruna ar mūsu filmas izplatītājiem par to, kāda viņiem bijusi pieredze, kad "Straume" ieguva "Zelta globusu" - kā pārējo lielo filmu studiju "augšējie cilvēki" reaģēja uz šo balvu... Māra Rozenberga: Tā bija neoficiāla saruna brīdī, kad gatavojāmies doties uz "Oskara" ceremoniju: komanda satikās viesnīcā uz tostu un šampanieša glāzi, un tādās amerikāniskā stila "small talk" sarunās daudz ko interesantu izdevās dzirdēt. Tai skaitā, ka "Dreamworks" studija esot bijusi diezgan lielā panikā, kad "Straume" ieguvusi "Zelta globusu", jo bijis redzams, cik milzīgi papildu līdzekļi tiek ieguldīti filmas "Roboti savā vaļā" mārketinga kampaņā. Tieši pēc tam Holivudā bija parādījušies milzu plakāti ar "Roboti savā vaļā". (..) Tur patiešām fiziski redzi, kādā veidā kodē potenciālos balsotājus. Pēdējā laikā mums bijušas sarunas par vērtēšanu gan skolās, gan žūrijās, gan visur kur citur. Un, skatot "Oskara" nolikumu, šķiet - tas notiek tik demokrātiski, tik daudzi cilvēki var piedalīties vērtēšanā. Atlases, atlases, kamēr tiek līdz līdz finālam - šķiet, siets ir tik pamatīgs un līdz finālam nokļūst pašas, pašas labākās filmas. Bet, kā tu, Māra, saki, var būt visādi - ka filmas nenoskatās, tomēr nobalso. Tāda sirdsapziņas lieta. Māra Rozenberga: Tik traki varbūt arī nav. Man liekas, ka tas bija "Straumes" franču producents, kurš, kad mēs ar viņu runājām par "Cēzara" balvu Francijā, sacīja: ai, man tie "Cēzari" neliekas tik vērā ņemami, jo zinu aizkulises, kādā veidā notiek balsošana un šai ziņā ASV Kinoakadēmijā tomēr ir daudz nopietnāks balsošanas siets, jo tur patiešām tehnoloģiski tiek monitorēts, vai konkrētais balsotājs noskatās filmu vai vismaz ir noskatījies pietiekamu skaitu ar filmām, lai viņam būtu tiesības balsot. Tehniski var redzēt, vai filma bijusi palaista. (..) Bet man liekas, ka ļoti interesantu aspektu minēja komponiste Lolita Ritmane, kuru mēs ar Andu abas satikām, jo viņa arī ir ASV Kinoakadēmijas biedre. Un Lolita  teica - viņasprāt, ļoti uz ASV Kinoakadēmijas balvas nomināciju būtu varējusi pretendēt arī Ginta Zilbaloža un Riharda Zaļupes komponētā mūzika filmai "Straume"... Un tad sākās stāsts par to, kādiem nosacījumiem būtu bijis jābūt, lai šī mūzika tiktu līdz nominācijai, proti, ir tādi mūzikas "skrīningi" - es pirmo reizi tādu terminu dzirdēju. Proti, nominantus nosaka konkrēto nozaru balsotāji, bet pēc tam visi balso par visu finālā. Lai tiktu līdz nominācijai, tev jābūt pamanītam no konkrētās nozares balsotājiem - šajā gadījumā komponisti balso par mūziku. (..) Lolita teica - ja būtu sākta masīva kampaņa četrus, piecus mēnešus agrāk, viņi būtu uzzinājuši, ka šāda mūzika ir, un tad būtu jau cita saruna... Tieši tādā veidā Lolita Ritmane bija ar savu mūziku "Dvēseļu putenim" nonākusi pirms dažiem gadiem "Oskara" nomināciju sarakstā... Vairāk - ierakstā.

On this episode of The High Route Podcast, we do some exploring with Andy Sovick. If you are unfamiliar with Sovick, he is the humble founder of Beacon Guidebooks. Several years ago, Beacon released a few high-quality ski atlases that generated some buzz. The business has grown, yet the company remains dedicated to core values that promote safety while providing ski-run information to the community.Go on most, if not all, outdoor-oriented online forums, and somewhere, without much filtering, you land on threads dealing with gatekeeping. Here at The High Route, we discuss and think about this a lot—how much information disclosure relates to ski zones is too much and how much is just enough. Likewise, Sovick has thought about this a bunch, too. He possesses a good perspective on blending information that allows others to enjoy the backcountry while being deeply grounded in creating a product that informs potential users about the pitfalls in and around the terrain described in their ski atlases. And if you love maps, Sovick has a few book recommendations. If you are new to The High Route, we are a reader and listener-supported enterprise focusing on human-powered turn making. Our mission is simple, but it takes real deal calorie burning to piece it all together.We are also excited to announce Issue 1.0 of The High Route magazine is ready to ship. Fancy paper. Good reads. High-octane photos. And some fine mountain ranges. And turns. You can learn more about our subscription options here.The theme music for The High Route Podcast comes from Storms in the Hill Country and the album The Self Transforming (Thank you, Jens Langsjoen). You can find a link to the album here—there are so many good songs on this album. And if you think you've spotted a UFO in the past or visited the 7th dimension, "Beautiful Alien" is a good tune to start with.Thanks for listening,The High Route Team   

Recent efforts to map every cell in the human body have researchers floored by unfathomable diversity, with many thousands of subtly different types of cells in the human brain alone. Read more at QuantaMagazine.org. Music is “Confusing Disco” by Birocratic.

Starptautiskais glezniecības simpozijs “Marks Rotko 2023” Daugavpilī. Mūsu kolēģe Silvija Smagare tikusies ar mākslinieku Kevorku Džordžu Kasabjanu, kurš nāk no Sīrijas un atklāj savu ceļu pie Rotko. Bet Ritums Ivanovs radījis Rotko portretu. 25. septembrī, apritēja 120 gadi, kopš Daugavpilī, toreizējā Dvinskā, pasaulē nāca Markus Rotkovičs, ko labāk pazīstam kā pasaules slaveno mākslinieku – abstraktā ekspresionisma un krāsu lauku gleznošanas aizsācēju – Marku Rotko. Par godu mākslinieka dzimšanas dienai 2005. gada Daugavpilī aizsākās mākslas plenēri, kas nu jau pārauguši par starptautisku glezniecības simpoziju, pulcējot gleznotājus un Rotko daiļrades cienītājus  no visas pasaules. Šogad glezniecības simpozijs notiek jau 19. reizi,  un tajā starptautiskas žūrijas izraudzīti piedalās deviņi mākslinieki no ASV, Itālijas, Austrālijas, Armēnijas, Polijas, Lielbritānijas, Beļģijas un Latvijas. Divu nedēļu garumā mākslinieki dzīvo ārpus ierastās vides: mijiedarbojas, iedvesmojas un rada unikālus darbus, kurus jau rītdien  nodos  skatītāju vērtējumam kopīgā Markam Rotko veltītā Starptautiskā glezniecības izstādē. Daļa no šiem darbiem vēlāk nonāks Marka Rotko muzejā Daugavpilī. 15.septembrī Daugavpils Marka Rotko mākslas centrā, kas ar oktobri kļūs par Rotko muzeju, sākās pēc skaita jau 19. Starptautiskais Markam Rotko veltītais glezniecības simpozijs. Tas tradicionāli piesaistīts Marka  Rotko dzimšanas dienai, stāsta Rotko centra pārstāve Zane Melāne. Šogad glezniecības simpozijā piedalās deviņi mākslinieki no dažādām pasaules valstīm, kuri uz divām nedēļām apmetušies Marka Rotko mākslas centrā, lai te radītu savus mākslas darbus, stāsta šī simpozija kurators Aivars Baranovskis. Māksliniekus uz simpozijiem vienmēr izraugās starptautiska žūrija. Atlases žūrija šoreiz izvēlējusies deviņus māksliniekus: Sjū Baieri (Sue Beyer), Austrālija; Kevorku Džordžu Kasabjanu (Kevork George Kassabian), Armēnija; Rūtu Filo (Ruth Philo), Lielbritānija; Zbigņevu Oļšinu (Zbigniew Olszyna), Polija; Annu Tarantino (Ann Tarantino), ASV/Itālija; Ritumu Ivanovu (Latvija); Kristu Autio (Beļģija); Agatu Borovu (Agata Borowa), Polija; Ingunu Liepu (Latvija). Armēniju šajā simpozijā pārstāv Kevorks Džordžs Kasabjans,  mākslinieks ar neparastu un pat sarežģītu dzīves gājumu, kuram aiz muguras ir jau vairāk nekā 80 dzīves gadi. No Rotko gūtās atziņas, un iedvesmojoties no viņa darbiem, Kevorkam Džordžam Kasabjanam arī top vairāki darbi šajā simpozijā Daugavpilī. Būšana citā vidē šis simpozijs ir arī māksliniekiem, kas pārstāv Latviju un arī Daugavpili. Daugavpilietei Ingunai Liepai top lielformāta darbi, par ko māksliniece ir ārkārtīgi priecīga, tā ir iespēja izpausties tehnikā, kāda  viņai ir tuva. Ritums Ivanovs ir no Cēsīm, arī viņam šis plenērs ir iespēja radīt mākslas darbus citā vidē, viens no darbiem būs Rotko abstrakts portrets, atklāj mākslinieks. Katra mākslinieka īpašo rokrakstu, mākslas sajūtu un izpausmes veidu Daugavpils Marka Rotko mākslas centrā varēs aplūkot jau sakot no 30. septembra. Daļa simpozijā radīto darbu paliks Rotko muzeja kolekcijā un  papildinās tā glezniecības krājumu.

A., Yi, J., Woolf, C. J., Lennerz, J. K., Whited, J., Price, T. J., Gereau, R., Renthal, W. Abstract: Peripheral sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and trigeminal ganglion (TG) are specialized to detect and transduce diverse environmental stimuli including touch, temperature, and pain to the central nervous system. Recent advances in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) have provided new insights into the diversity of sensory ganglia cell types in rodents, non-human primates, and humans, but it remains difficult to compare transcriptomically defined cell types across studies and species. Here, we built cross-species harmonized atlases of DRG and TG cell types that describe 18 neuronal and 11 non-neuronal cell types across 6 species and 19 studies. We then demonstrate the utility of this harmonized reference atlas by using it to annotate newly profiled DRG nuclei/cells from both human and the highly regenerative axolotl. We observe that the transcriptomic profiles of sensory neuron subtypes are broadly similar across vertebrates, but the expression of functionally important neuropeptides and channels can vary notably. The new resources and data presented here can guide future studies in comparative transcriptomics, simplify cell type nomenclature differences across studies, and help prioritize targets for future pain therapy development.

NYC- based chill-lounge master Roman Angelos and renowned producer Scott Solter just released today their full LP called "Supermarkets, Underwater, " on Happy Robot Records.The 9-track collection follows the 2022 album "Music For Underwater Supermarkets," which combines electronica and exotica, painting a sonic dreamscape transposing the mundane act of grocery shopping to an aquatic utopian landscape.Roman Angelos is Brooklyn -based producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Rich Bennett who developed an obsession with library recordings of the 60's and 70's, muzak, jazz and exotica. Scott Solter (St. Vincent, Maps & Atlases, Spoon, Superchunk, the Mountain Goats) is a producer/ engineer who took the original album and created a darker and more ambient landscape.In June 2023, Roman Angelos will be touring select UK cities with Happy Robot label mate, Rodney Cromwell, performing in London, Coventry, Reading and Todmorden.  https://www.happyrobots.co.uk/roman-angelosPlaylist and podcast: https://djnocturna.comYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturnaListen : http://modsnapradio.comQUEEN OF WANDS with DJ NocturnaEvery Saturday on ModSnap Radio�KMOD: San Antonio�2pm (HST), 5pm (PST), 6pm (MST), 7pm (CST), 8pm (EST)

London-based label Happy Robots Records has announced the new 'Supermarkets, Underwater' album by Brooklyn-based electronic artist Roman Angelos and renowned producer Scott Solter, which will be released on May 19. Ahead of this, you can enjoy the first single 'Swimming Through The Aisles (Teeming Mix)', along with a special live performance version of the remix. This 9-track collection follows his 2022 sophomore album 'Music For Underwater Supermarkets', a sleeper hit that combines electronica and exotica, painting a sonic dreamscape transposing the mundane act of grocery shopping to an aquatic utopian landscaping. Exploring Roman's obsession with the library and soundtrack music, with unfashionable sonic influences from Burt Bacharach to Vangelis, this record was brilliantly received with Electronic Sound Magazine describing it as “an album of splendid vibes”. Roman Angelos is the nom de plume of Brooklyn-based producer, composer and multi instrumentalist Rich Bennett, developed as a vehicle to explore his obsession with library recordings of the 60's and 70s, muzak and exotica. Exotic, dreamy, and wistful, this is the sound of a jazz sextet as channeled through synths and drum machines, creating a spacey feel. 'Supermarkets, Underwater' is a fully reimagined remix of the original album from producer/engineer Scott Solter (St. Vincent, Maps & Atlases, Spoon, Superchunk, The Mountain Goats). Flipping the script, Solter takes the bouncy and upbeat material of the original album, creating a darker and more ambient landscape. Weaving in noise and shifting electronic percussion, it's an entirely new record. Listeners dive deeper into unknown waters, no longer shopping alongside the friendly fish.Show less0 CommentsSort byAdd a comment... Sorry about the sound quality on this recording we did our best!

Abstract: White matter tracts generated from whole brain tractography are often processed using automatic segmentation methods with standard atlases. Atlases are generated from hundreds of subjects, which becomes time-consuming to create and difficult to apply to all populations. In this study, we extended our prior work on using a deep generative model - Convolutional Variational Autoencoder - to map complex and data-intensive streamlines to a low-dimensional latent space given a limited sample size of 50 subjects from the ADNI3 dataset, to generate synthetic population-specific bundle templates using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) on streamline embeddings. We conducted a quantitative shape analysis by calculating bundle shape metrics, and found that our bundle templates better capture the shape distribution of the bundles than the atlas data used in the original segmentation derived from young healthy adults. We further demonstrated the use of our framework for direct bundle segmentation from whole-brain tractograms. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.18.517039v1?rss=1 Authors: Funck, T., Wagstyl, K., Lepage, C., Omidyeganeh, M., Toussaint, P. J., Amunts, K., Thiel, A., Palomero-Gallagher, N., Evans, A. C. Abstract: Quantitative maps of neurotransmitter receptor densities are important tools for characterising the molecular organisation of the brain and key for understanding normal and pathologic brain function and behaviour. We describe a novel method for reconstructing 3-dimensional cortical maps for data sets consisting of multiple different types of 2-dimensional post-mortem histological sections, including autoradiographs acquired with different ligands, cell body and myelin stained sections, and which can be applied to data originating from different species. The accuracy of the reconstruction was quantified by calculating the Dice score between the reconstructed volumes versus their reference anatomic volume. The average Dice score was 0.91. We were therefore able to create atlases with multiple accurately reconstructed receptor maps for human and macaque brains as a proof-of-principle. Future application of our pipeline will allow for the creation of the first ever set of ultra-high resolution 3D atlases composed of 20 different maps of neurotransmitter binding sites in 3 complete human brains and in 4 hemispheres of 3 different macaque brains.

"Objective evidence and certitude are doubtless very fine ideals to play with, but where on this moonlit and dream-visited planet are they found?" -William James “Ways of scientific seeing are where body and mind, pedagogy and research, knower and known intersect…once internalized by a scientific collective, these various ways of seeing were lodged deeper than evidence; they defined what evidence was. They were therefore seldom a matter of explicit argument, for they drew the boundaries within which arguments could take place. Atlases provide a rare and precious glimpse of ways of seeing in the making, as a place where established practices are transmitted and innovations explicitly advanced.” -Daston and Galison Sources and place for discussion: https://old.reddit.com/r/DilettanteryPodcast/comments/xlthqx/23_was_the_concept_of_objectivity_invented_in_the/?

My guest today, Pádraig Ó Tuama, is brilliant and has done so many beautiful things in his life. I decided to share the bio from his website rather than type up my version of it. It's better this way, trust me. “Poet and theologian, Pádraig Ó Tuama's work centres around themes of language, power, conflict and religion. For Ó Tuama, religion, conflict, power and poetry all circle around language, that original sacrament. Working fluently on the page and in public, he is a compelling poet and skilled speaker, teacher and group worker. He presents Poetry Unbound with On Being Studios. When BBC journalist William Crawley introduced Pádraig on the stage to deliver a TEDx talk on Story, Crawley said, "He's probably the best public speaker I know." Ó Tuama's published work incorporates poetry (Readings from the Book of Exile [longlisted for the Polari Prize 2013]; Sorry for your Troubles, Feed the Beast), prose (In The Shelter) and theology (Daily Prayer; Borders & Belonging, with Glenn Jordan) and anthologies: Poetry Unbound; 50 Poems to Open Your World. Work is featured or forthcoming in Poetry Ireland Review, Academy of American Poets, Raidio Teilifís Éireann's Poem of the Week, Post Road, IMAGE, Dumbo Feather, Gutter, America, and New England Review. He has broadcasted, recited and been interviewed many times on RTÉ, BBC (Radio 4, Radios Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland) and Radio National (Australia). His work has been used in Medical Journals, quoted by Princes and used in Atlases and Liturgies. From 2014-2019 he was the leader of the Corrymeela Community, Ireland's oldest peace and reconciliation community. Pádraig is married to Paul Doran. Together, in 2011, they founded Tenx9, a storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes each to tell a true story from their lives. Begun in Belfast, this event now has satellite events in many other cities. He holds a BA Div validated by the Pontifical College of Maynooth, an MTh from Queen's University Belfast and is currently pursuing in a PhD in at the School of Critical Studies at the University of Glasgow exploring poetry, prayer and agnosticism. In addition to these qualifications, Ó Tuama has numerous professional accreditations in conflict, focusing particularly on dynamics of group conflicts.” This conversation moved in me in deeply meaningful ways. Pádraig is a trustworthy and wise leader and I hope you are by our conversation today.

Vārda brīvība noteikti ir atbalstāma, tomēr, vai tad, ja darbinieks pārstāv kādu iestādi, viņš var sociālajos tīklos ievietot jebkādu informāciju? Vai sociālo tīklu lietošanu darba devējs drīkst ierobežot un vai tas attiecas uz arī personisku informāciju, jautājam ekspertiem raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Raidījuma viesi: Datu valsts inspekcijas direktore Jekaterina Macuka, Uzņēmuma "Bite" pārstāve Una Ahuna-Ozola, jurists, konsultants darba tiesisko attiecību jautājumos Kaspars Rācenājs un „WorkingDay Latvia” pārstāvis Andris Jansons. Uzņēmuma "Bite" pārstāve Una Ahuna-Ozola iepazīstina ar pētījumu ko veica kopā ar uzņēmumu "CV-Online" pērn organizēja pētījumu par darbinieku tēlu sociālajos tīklos. 81% aptaujāto darba ņēmēju norādīja, ka piedomā, ko publicē, jo tic, ka tas var iespaidot esošās darba attiecībās vai potenciālās iespējas iegūt jaunu darbu. Savukārt 40% darba devēji norādīja, ka darbinieku atlases procesā pievērš uzmanību tam, kādu saturu sociālajos tīklos publicē potenciālais darba ņēmējs. 38% pievērš uzmanību kolēģu publicētajam sociālajos tīklos, bet tikai 21% ir aizrādījuši kolēģiem, ja šķiet, ka saturu nebūtu labāk publicēt. "Ja cilvēki publisko visu no brokastīm līdz naktsdzīvei, jāņem vērā, ka atklātā profilā to redz visi, kam ir piekļuve internetam. Cilvēkiem izvēlamies - mēs gribam būt publiski un atklāti, bet uzņemamies risku, ka arī topošais darba devējs redzēs, redzēs visi citi un tas var arī negatīvi ietekmēt," norāda Jekaterina Macuka, atgādinot arī par drošības riskiem, ko tas var radīt. Ja darbiniekam ir profils sociālajos tīklos, viņam ir tiesības nedalīties ar sava darba devēja (uzņēmuma) informāciju. Tāpat ir tiesības paust informāciju par darba devēja sniegtiem pakalpojumiem, bet tai ir jābūt patiesai. Andris Jansons norāda, ka ir uzņēmēji, kas seko līdzi darbinieku vai potenciālo darbinieku dzīvei sociālajos tīklos, citi tam pievērš mazāku uzmanību. "Atlases periodā, kurš meklē darbinieku, kad ierauga viņa CV, aprakstu, var veikt pāris klikšķus, kāds viņš izskatās "Facebook", "Twiter", "Linkedin" un, nemaz nerunājot ar šo cilvēku par viņa personību, prasmēm, par viņa darba pieredzi, viņš jau izveido savu redzējumu, pieņēmumu, kāds šis cilvēks ir," atzīst Andris Jansons. Viņš norāda, ka ir bijuši gadījumi, ka darba devēji atsakās no ieteiktās darbinieka kandidatūras, jo neapmierina cilvēka dzīve sociālajos tīklos. "Katram jāuzņemas atbildība par sevi, kādā veidā viņš izpauž sevi dažādas dzīves situācijās," atzīst Andris Jansons. Vai darba devējs var aizliegt lietot sociālos tīklus? "Ja tas nav saistīts ar darba vajadzībām, es teiktu viennozīmīgi, ka šāda iespēja ir, jo darba laiks ir paredzēts darba pienākumu izpildei, darba devējs dod darba uzdevumus, ko darba laikā darīt," skaidro Kaspars Rācenājs. "Ja tas ir saistīts ar darba specifiku, darbiniekam nav jāsatraucas, ja viņš var pierādīt, ka tas ir saistīts ar darba pienākumu izpildi." "Ja runājam, vai darba devējs var aizliegt lietot darbiniekam sociālos tīklus ārpus darba laika, viennozīmīgi - nē, jo atpūtas laikā darbinieks dara ko grib," norāda Kaspars Rācenājs. "Nākamais jautājums, vai darba devējs ir tiesīgs ierobežot, piemēram, darbinieka kādu izpausmi ārpus darba laika savos privātajos sociālajos kontos. Šis jautājums jāskata ļoti plaši un katra situācija jāvērtē individuāli. Vārda brīvība kā tāda un katras personas tiesības izpausties ir ārkārtīgi augstā vērtībā un ierobežojums būtu jāskata ļoti šauri. Ja man ir reliģisks viedoklis vai politiski uzskati, man ir tiesības to brīvi arī paust, pat ja manam darba devējam nepatiktu, kurā partijā esmu iestājies vai kādu politisko kustību atbalstu, vai no rīta es lūdzu Jēzu Kristu. Tā nav darba devēja darīšana. Man būtu tiesības savos sociālajos tīklos šādu informāciju paust. Ja es savos sociālajos tīklos aicinu uz vardarbību, uz naidu, agresīvu rīcību vienam pret otru, tas jau ir smagāks gadījums un šeit būtu jāvērtē gan no administratīvā, gan krimināltiesiskā viedokļa, ja tiek konstatēts, ka sarkanā līnija ir pārkāpta, tad darbiniekam var būt nepatikšanas darba vietā, ka viņš šādu informāciju ir paudis. Arī šeit ir jāskatās šauri - ne katrs darbinieka pārkāpums, kas ir ārpus darba tiesiskajām attiecībām, ir korelācijā ar darba pienākumu  izpildi. Tādā gadījumā darbiniekus varētu atbrīvot arī par to, ka viņš pārkāpj ātrumu vai jebkuru administratīvo pārkāpumu. Ne tur nolika mašīnu, atbrīvo no darba. Te jāskatās, kā viņa darbības sociālajos tīklos ietekmē vai var radīt negatīvas sekas darba devējam."

Hello Interactors,The first year of Interplace is nearly complete. I want to thank everyone who supported me through 2021 by subscribing, reading, listening, commenting, and sharing. I also want to thank the London Writers’ Salon and all faithful writers who showed up on Zoom with me every morning at 8:00 Pacific time. It brought companionship, accountability, and miles of smiles.Evolutionary biologists call interactors the individual traits that are so uniquely beneficial that they lead to natural selection. You are my interactors ­– special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. Thanks to you, that journey will continue through 2022. I’m keeping to the same structure, but may summon the courage to do occasional interviews as well.A year ago I kicked off Interplace. In the winter I wrote about human behavior, then moved to cartography in the spring, physical geography and the environment in the summer, and economic geography this fall. This is post number 50 and the last of 2021. Should Interplace 2021 be a book, it would be comprised of four sections, 50 chapters, nearly 740 pages, and over 130,000 words. To celebrate, I thought I’d share excepts from the most read posts from each of the four seasons. I also included titles and links to all 50 pieces at the end.But before I start, I thought I’d share a quote from the legendary leader the city of Seattle was named after, Chief Si'ahl (siʔaɫ). These words appeared in my first newsletter and continue to serve as an inspiration for Interplace today. They’re worth sharing again as we reflect and contemplate the constellation of interactions with people and place we all had throughout 2021 and imagine what’s ahead in 2022.“Humankind has not woven the web of life.We are but one thread within it.Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.All things are bound together.All things connect.”And now, excerpts from the top four most read Interplace posts of 2021.WINTER: BEHAVIORTake Your Head for a WalkYour brain makes maps on your behalf. But if you want a good one, take a hike. Your brain will love you for it, and your future self will too.It turns out walking and cognitive mapping are mutually dependent systems that are only optimized when done together. Driving or riding as a passenger are poor substitutes for enhancing our interactions with place. In the words of neuroscientist, Shane O’Mara,“The brain’s navigational and mapping and memory systems are so intertwined as to be almost one and the same. Walking to somewhere depends on the brain’s navigational system, and in turn walking provides a vast amount of ongoing information to the brain’s mapping and navigation systems. These are mutually enriching and reinforcing systems.”Our cities don’t make it easy to walk. A century of car culture has kept people from interacting with place. We can deduce from the research I’ve cited, that this is a bad thing. Not only do we have a biased and hazy image built in our minds of the environment in which we live, sitting in a car or a chair does not facilitate happy thoughts.We all succumb to what these two Iowa State researchers referred to as the ‘dread effect’. The thought of expending more energy than necessary can make one dread walking. It’s all too easy to tap a destination on Google maps, hit the ‘walking distance’ tab, shutter at the time and effort it would take to walk, and then grab the keys and drive there. But since Covid hit, I instead grab my headphones, take a step, and feel the cells in my brain come alive. I am interacting with place, with a smile on my face, as a cranial cellular symphony traces a map of the space.SPRING: CARTOGRAPHYYou Are What You MapHow triangles, topology, quadrangles, and cartography yield maps that can skew both messages and timeThe Renaissance accelerated the field of cartography. This was an era of discovering new knowledge, instrumentation, and the measuring and quantification of the natural world. Mercator’s projection stemmed from the invention of perspective; a word derived from the Latin word perspicere – “to see through.” European colonial maps were drawn mostly to navigate, control, and dominate land – and its human occupants. We have all been controlled by these maps in one way or other and we still are. Our knowledge of the world largely stems from the same perspective Mercator was offering up centuries ago. The entire world sees the world through the eyes of Western explorers, conquerors, and cartographers. That includes elements of maps as simple as place names.Take place names in Africa, as an example. The country occupied by France until 1960, Niger, comes from the Latin word for “shining black”. Its derogatory adaptation by the British added another ‘g’ making a word we now call the n-word. But niger was not the most popular Latin word used to describe people of Africa, it was an ancient Greek derivative; Aethiops – which means “burn face”. If you replace the ‘s’ at the end with the ‘a’ from the beginning, you see where the name Ethiopia comes from.There’s another Westernized place name just west of where the Dakota and Lakota people thrived called Gannett Peak. It’s the tallest mountain in the state of Wyoming and is part of the Bridger-Teton range. I’m sure you’ve heard of the more popular neighboring range, the Grand Teton’s; another notable (and sexist) French place name which means – ‘Big Boobs’. Gannett Peak is named after Henry Gannett – the father of American mapmaking.He was one of many geographers throughout the history of western colonization. Sure he was more influential than most, but they were all tasked with the same thing. Whether it was triangulating British territories in India, finessing French regions in Africa, or delineating Dutch districts in Brazil they were all measuring, mapping, and manipulating how others should see the world. It’s the paradox of mapmaking. No matter your intent, whatever line you draw will reflect the bias you bring.Mercator was biased by perspective because that’s what the culture of his time led him to do. Gannett mapped natural occurring features of the land because the mapping of minerals and other natural resources was in high demand. Iowa was named Iowa because that’s the word they knew. Even attempts to counter-map the dominance of cartesian colonial cartography can’t escape its own bias. Nobody can. But we live on a melting planet, so our days remain a few. If we’re going to survive this calamity, we must see that our thoughts are skewed. So the next you look at a map, consider its point of view. If we all do this together, we can invent a world anew.SUMMER: ENVIRONMENTCalamity in KlamathMukluks suffer over water for suckersCalifornia’s fires have claimed two million acres. Ten percent of the sequoia population was taken by a single fire; trees that have been on this planet for thousands of years – gone. It’s so dry in southern Oregon’s Klamath valley that wells are drying up. Homeowners are having to drive for their water. The county has ordered cisterns from as far away as Oklahoma, but are running up against shortages of rain barrels due to choked supply chains and increased demand.The Klamath valley has seen its fair share of emergencies, but every generation seems surprised. And sometimes apathetic. The first occupants of this area were the Klamath Tribes: the Klamath, the Modoc and the Yahooskin-Paiute people. They were sometimes referred to as mukluks or numu – the people. People, while differentiated by name, are still animals. And like our multi-legged, finned, scaled, and winged companions, we are an integral part of the environment. This was, and remains, a pan-Indigenous concept that deserves reminding. The Klamath Tribes embraced this belief in a shared communal slogan, “naanok ?ans naat sat’waYa naat ciiwapk diceew’a “We help each other; We will live good”By the 1950s the Klamath Tribes became one of the most prosperous tribes in America. In keeping with their traditional ways, they owned, managed, and sustained the largest stand of Ponderosa Pine in the West. Driven by a self-sufficient determinism millennia old, they were the only tribe to make enough money to pay the United States Government for the services their people utilized. But their success made them a target. The Klamath Tribes stood out. Having demonstrated just how profitable their land could be, it was time the United States took even more than they had a century prior.On August 1, 1953, House Concurrent Resolution 108 was issued by the United States Congress announcing the official federal policy of termination. The resolution called for the immediate termination of the Klamath Tribes. Included were the Flathead, Menominee, Potawatomi, and Turtle Mountain Chippewa, along with all tribes in the states of California, New York, Florida, and Texas.Between 1945 and 1960 Congress terminated more than one hundred tribes and small bands, 11,500 Indigenous people lost their native legal status, and over one million acres of land lost its trust status. Not a single tribe has improved economically since, while corporations have profited handsomely.I’m convinced that a combination of traditional knowledge and new science, technology, and invention will yield the best path forward for managing our global climatic conundrums. But we can’t just tech our way out of this. We’re going to have to change our food habits, reduce extractions, eliminate commercial and consumer waste, and overhaul the global food system.The dam has been cracked, but it needs to be broken wide open. All living organisms depend on water. They depend on us. Let’s listen to the ancient words of the Klamath people: When we help each other, we will all live well.FALL: ECONOMICSCryptocurrency, Euro-insurgency, and Economic UrgencyUntangling economic supremacy through heresy while offering an alternative destinyCryptocurrency was invented to circumvent the juggernaut that banks, governments, and credit card companies hold on the currency market. But the more it gets legitimized as an alternative currency, the more interested these traditional institutions become. For example, one form of cryptocurrency rising in popularity are stablecoins. It’s a digital currency that can be converted into ‘real’ money and is issued by the very institutions the inventors were hoping to circumvent. It seems there is no escaping Western economic dominance.The truth is, alternative currencies and economies exist all around us and have for centuries. For example, in a district of central London call Brixton, where David Bowie once lived, shops no longer accept the British Pound. Instead they take an alternative currency called the Brixton Pound that features a picture of Bowie on a paper bill that is as nicely designed and proportioned as Bowie himself.Many schemes like this exist outside of the Western world too – and they’re often not tied to the dominant currency system. For example, there’s a settlement on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya called Bangladesh. Not to be confused with the country of Bangladesh. It was named after an early settler who unexpectedly packed up and moved to Bangladesh never to return. The area was hence called Bangladesh. It’s a poor informal settlement made of self-made homes and little to no infrastructure, yet is home to over 20,000 people. They work at nearby industries at the fringe of Nairobi doing odd jobs regularly paid workers refuse to do.Many are well educated, but work is intermittent and there are more qualified workers than there are jobs. It leads to extreme poverty, apathy, and strife. One local teacher in the Peace Corps, Will Ruddick, became frustrated that he was graduating kids with no where to go. He said many of whom were more skilled academically than many he’d witnessed at Stanford. Ruddick happens to also have a PhD in econophysics – a branch of economics that draws inspiration from the field of physics. He began wondering how he could devise a way for residents in areas like Bangladesh to earn consistent wages doing meaningful work in their community. He wanted ways for them to create and share in their abundance, take charge of their own livelihoods, and build a self-sustaining economic future.American economic geography professor, Eric Sheppard, from UCLA offers that because Western style capitalism relies on “uneven and asymmetric connectivities” that end up “driving uneven geographical development”, we’ve arrived at a place where the dominant global economic scheme of globalization has failed “at scales ranging from the globe to the neighbourhood.”Instead of propagating or placating a dominant global economy, what if we acknowledge, embrace, fertilize, understand, celebrate, and experience alternative economies embedded within or on the fringe of the establishment, like those Ruddick has pioneered. After all, these are economies that have been forged through the interaction of people and place whose shared histories have, as Sheppard says, “found them encountering, rather than propagating, Capitalist economic development.”Following is an index of all the pieces I’ve written over the last year. Thanks, again, for the support. I’ll see you all next week and next year.

Hello Interactors,This week I’m coming to you from Kansas City. My plan was to avoid the hot and humid Midwest summer to visit family, but instead I’m battling a heat wave and soon a thunderstorm. It made me wish I’d done a post on weather maps.As a result, this week’s installment is a review of my spring posts on cartography as we approach the last week of the season. Next up is summer and the role the physical environment plays in the interaction of people and place. This spring I’ve chronicled the role various elements of map-making have played in the formation of the United States. Starting with an ancient history of cadastral mapping and how Thomas Jefferson took a page from the Egyptians and the Roman empire, then the progression of organized surveying for land capture across the country, and finally how maps serve as forms of persuasion, manipulation, and control.I’ll be back next week with the final post of the season.Now let’s go…back to April.01 : A Groma from Rome Finds a New HomeHow large scale precision cartography rose and fell with the Roman Empire, disappeared for centuries, and then re-emerged in the rise of a new empire.This post looks behind the origins of the neatly organized geometry that chop most of America into a Cartesian grid. Mapmaking’s history dates back to ancient times – as do the motivations behind them. While maps help us to better understand and interact with the world, they also help establish authority and control.https://interplace.io/p/a-groma-from-rome-finds-a-new-home02 : A Nation SquaredHow Thomas Jefferson's vision of a gridded nation squared with his desire for an interracial slave-free 'Continental America'.Jefferson had appointed Thomas Hutchins to be Geographer of the United States in 1781. In 1784 Jefferson was preparing for expansion west and was combing over Hutchins’ descriptions of what lie west of his beloved Virginia. Jefferson was dubious of Hutchins’ mapping facts and took it up with him in a personal correspondence. What follows is the unfolding of a cartography project of Roman scale. And the birth of an empire.https://interplace.io/p/a-nation-squared03 : Miami Priced, Ohio DicedFrom war veteran cronies scheming a land grab at a bar in Boston to the banks of the Ohio River with the threat of angry native resistors breathing down your neck.Thomas Jefferson had a vision of a neatly portioned empire, just as the globe was neatly partitioned into a grid of latitude and longitude lines. Sure he wanted land for farmers, but he also needed to extract property tax revenue to fill the newly formed government’s coffers that had been emptied by the Revolutionary war. The task of surveying and mapping fell on the shoulders of America’s first and only chief Geographer, Thomas Hutchins. Like most things in colonial America, it wasn’t easy.https://interplace.io/p/miami-priced-ohio-diced04 : Guns, God, and GoldA quest for wealth leads to pain through the crafting of a cartesian plane as war breaks out across the Ohio plains.This is the third in a series on the role surveying and cartography played in the establishment of the United States. It continues further west into Ohio in the lead up to the 1800s. The U.S. government needed money to fulfill their dreams of being a global superpower. And it all hinged on Jefferson’s plan to extract money from neatly surveyed squares of land occupied by sovereign Indigenous nations who had been here for thousands of years. They were not going to give in easily and they never will.https://interplace.io/p/guns-god-and-gold05 : Make Your Own Survey in Under a DayHow Thomas Jefferson’s vision of mapped agrarian squares was realized by farmers dividing their own shares.This wraps up the April series on the role large scale surveying played in determining how people of the United States of America interact with each other and the government. Jefferson had a vision for the country that combined his desire for agrarian expansion west and building an empire. It turned out to be easier for farmers to claim land than he could have imagined. https://interplace.io/p/make-your-own-survey-in-under-a-day06 : You Are What You MapHow triangles, topology, quadrangles, and cartography yield maps that can skew both messages and time.This branches into topography and the role western colonial expansion plays in the creation and articulation of our naturally occurring geography. Most of us are not very skilled at critiquing the role maps have played in shaping how we see the globe and the people on it. However, I’m optimistic that when we do we can better confront the boundaries that maps have created between people and place.https://interplace.io/p/you-are-what-you-map07 : The U.S. Census: Mapping a Sense of UsHow a Swedish Zoologist and the birth of census 'big data' led to American racism at the hands of statisticians and geographers.We’re learning every day just how embedded racism is in the workings of the American polity. This post is critical of America’s cadastral and topographic cartography past. It weaves together European scientific determinism, early ‘big data’ authoritarianism, and White supremist cartography.https://interplace.io/p/the-us-census-mapping-a-sense-of08 : Boomtown MapsA tip on a canoe leads to the rise of a Midwest metropolis as mapping goes social.Most of spring chronicled the spread of cadastral mapping across America. It was all part of Jefferson’s gridded agrarian vision. But by the middle of the 1800s immigrants started flooding in, the industrial age was taking hold, and cities became the thing to map. https://interplace.io/p/boomtown-maps09 : Winning Over the Windy City with WatercolorsShaping a crowded city of crime and pollution with a water soluble solution.Chicago was bursting at the seams at the turn of the century. People were stressed, companies were panicking, and something had to be done. They needed a plan; a map of a 20th century city. They needed someone to draw a picture, ease their minds, and persuade Chicago’s industrial elite.https://interplace.io/p/winning-over-the-windy-city-with10 : Maps as Logos; Atlases that ImposeCountries are branded with maps as their logos while national atlases sell their brand.The shape of national maps are no accident. They’re not even natural. They’ve been created with intent. Yes, they represent political boundaries, but they also sell a brand. Politics is where the brand of a country begins. And maps, like flags, can serve as logos.https://interplace.io/p/maps-as-logos-atlases-that-imposeIf you enjoy Interplace, please tell your friends!

Hello Interactors,The shape of national maps are no accident. They’re not even natural. They’ve been created with intent. Yes, they represent political boundaries, but they also sell a brand.As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…LOCO FOR LOGOSClose your eyes and imagine the shape of the country in which you were born. Now imagine the shape of the Nike swoosh. One we call a map, the other we call a logo. But maps can be logos too.   Logo is a 1937 word most likely derived from an 1840 word, logogram; a sign or character that represents a word – Logo (words) and gram (that which is drawn). Shapes and letters, points and lines  paired with assigned names have been inscribed in our brains throughout our lifetime. Years of repetitive exposure through teachers, textbooks, TV, newspapers, books, magazines, movies, social media, and the internet have bombarded our senses burning images and perceptions into our memory. Companies and governments have spent billions of dollars tp pair particular words with that which is drawn. There’s a reason it’s called branding. These images are emblazoned in your brain, just as a cattle rancher burns an image into the hide of their livestock with a red-hot branding iron. But there’s more to a brand than just the image. Brands are both a symbol, like a word and/or image, that possess a set of associated perceptions. And they are much more difficult to create than a branding iron.I played a small role in building the Microsoft Office brand. You may be more familiar with another set of images I was more closely associated with – icons for Office applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Because people use, or used, Word, Excel, and/or PowerPoint repeatedly, the image of that icon became increasingly imprinted in their memory. The repeated experience of using those applications gradually formed perceptions associated with the icon. Those perceptions were articulated through the media influencing even those people who never used these applications.Microsoft made more money selling applications as a bundle than individually. So instead of building iconic brands around each product, they created the Office brand. The first Office logo, was a square puzzle of four interlocking pieces filled with red, green, blue, and yellow. It suggested Office was a collection of interlocking pieces.  Four independent territories that shared a common border, purpose, and ideal. But getting that Office name and associated puzzle image to become recognized and recalled as readily as say, the Word icon, proved, and still proves, to be a monumental task. Many elements are factored in the forming of perceptions. Some elements the company can control, like the design of the product, marketing materials, and advertising. But others are out of their control like individual needs and desires, societal views, media impressions, and even politics.  Politics is where the brand of a country begins. And maps, like flags, can serve as logos. The earliest examples of maps as logos can be found in the imperial maps England produced. They too were puzzle pieces. As Cornell political scientist, Benedict Anderson, wrote in his influential book on nationalism, Imagined Communities:“Its origins were reasonably innocent - the practice of the imperial states of colouring their colonies on maps with an imperial dye. In London's imperial maps, British colonies were usually pink-red, French purple-blue, Dutch yellow-brown, and so on. Dyed this way, each colony. appeared like a detachable piece of a jigsaw puzzle. As this 'jigsaw' effect became normal, each 'piece' could be wholly detached from its geographic context. In its final form all explanatory glosses could be summarily removed: lines of longitude and latitude, place names, signs for rivers, seas, and mountains, neighbours. Pure sign, no longer compass to the world. In this shape, the map entered an infinitely reproducible series, available for transfer to posters, official seals, letterheads, magazine and textbook covers, tablecloths, and hotel walls.” Territory maps have been created for centuries as a way to demarcate territory for the purpose of ownership and dominion. That was as true for monarchies, as it is for nation-states. Over the last couple months I’ve chronicled the evolution and execution of cadastral and topographic maps across America just as Jefferson had envisioned. Around this time, regions around the world were doing the same. Including Thailand.IF YOU CAN’T BEAT ‘EM, JOIN ‘EMIt wasn’t until the middle of the 1800s that Siam, now called Thailand, had a top-down Cartesian style representation of the country and census of its people. Sure they had maps, but they were mostly drawn at eye-level with invented perspectives. Many were dominated by textual descriptions that matched stone markers in the landscape. But having escaped the colonial invasion that neighboring Southeast Asian territories endured, the ruling King knew it was a matter of time before the French or English invaded. This tiny region had a history of kicking Christian missionaries out of their country for fervently converting Buddhists to Christianity. So they took matters into their own hands and hired a British cartographer to begin surveying and mapping territories – mostly for military and census purposes. It gained them a seat at the proverbial international table, staved off colonial invasion, but also aggregated diverse sets of cultures, identities, and languages under a single name affixed within imaginary lines for the purpose of administration, military control, and quasi-legal representation as a Westernized nation-state. As Thai historian Thongchai writes in Anderson’s book, Imagined Communities,“a map was a model for, rather than a model of, what it purported to represent. . . . It had become a real instrument to concretize projections on the earth's surface. A map was now necessary for the new administrative mechanisms and for the troops to back up their claims. . . . The discourse of mapping was the paradigm which both administrative and military operations worked within and served.”Soon, like Jefferson and Hamilton a century before, a Department of Interior was created and with it a map-making division. From that point forward, not only could the country defend themselves from European colonizers, they could enter legitimate territorial negotiations with other nation-states. And they could also control the historical narrative of the country, the names of places, and the people that occupied them. In 1892 Thailand’s Minister of Education made geography mandatory.What were once loose collections of Indigenous tribes and bands with their own languages, cultures, and methods of relating to people and place, were bundled together and sold to the world under a new brand by a King who adopted westernized approaches to place making, land disputes, and military defense. Over time, this reinvention included changing the name of the country from Siam, a name attributed to this region in European maps dating back to the 1600s, to Thailand in 1942 – a seventy year old rebranding project. The only thing left of Siam in western language and culture, that I know of, is the informal name for conjoining siblings - Siamese Twins. One of the forces that accelerated, amplified, and solidified country brands were advances in printing technologies. Territorial names, maps, and their corresponding historical and cultural narratives became the words and symbols that comprised branding elements. Having a tidy, identifiable polygon made of a thick defining line, a perimeter that both divides and unites, offers governments a distinct image – a logo. A symbol that is used, like all logos, to represent a particular system of values, cultures, political structure, and economic systems, all based on a particular historical perspective and narrative as defined by the dominant ruling party. An image so simple, yet powerful, that it need only exist as a single color. Which, in turn, makes it easy and cheap to print in mass quantities and disseminate through mass media. The more the image is exposed, the more recognizable it becomes, and the more easily it is recalled at the mention of it’s name. Just like a logo.Given the efficiency of a logo, they’re easily incorporated into many forms of advertising, propaganda, and education. But it takes more than a single image to communicate the complicated doctrines and causes that stand behind a simple shape. That’s what national atlases are for. ATLAS PLUGGEDAlong with the advances in printing technologies came the proliferation of national atlases. In the History of Cartography, Volume Six, Karen Culcasi positions atlases like this,“…atlases have several roles, but their classic function is as a symbol of nationhood, national unity, and national pride. While the defining criteria are ambiguous, most national atlases are collections of thematic maps of an independent country. In addition to historical maps that narrate the nation-state’s past, they typically include statistical and physical maps as well as general reference maps covering the country section by section at a somewhat larger scale—all of which enhance their power as pedagogical and reference tools for use in homes and classrooms.”The first national atlases most likely emerged out of England in 1579; Christopher Saxton’s Atlas of England and Wales. It’s a colorful book of maps gilded in gold and commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I to demonstrate British cartography and engraving prowess. It served as the base map for future national atlases of England and an inspiration for others to follow. Soon Scotland, Finland, Canada, and the United States had their own. In the centuries to follow, nation states around the world who gained their independence were quick to follow up with a national atlas. But they aren’t without conflict. One of the most recent notable territorial conflicts is also one of the oldest. Israel and Palestine.The boundary mapping of Israel and Palestine, like other boundaries in the region, continues to be contentious with no apparent conclusion through traditional means. Steeped in thousands of years of ebbing and flowing of ethnic, religious, refugee and natural resource boundaries and interactions its complex reality exceeds the limitations of traditional cartographic conventions.The first internationally recognized boundary in the Middle East was created in 1906 by Great Britain who were governing Egypt at the time. Again, for military purposes, they wanted to control the Suez Canal so the surveyed a border that awarded them the Sinai Peninsula. Then in 1916 the English and French met in secret to create a dividing line between Egypt and Turkey. Egypt went to England and Turkey went to France. That worked so well, that in 1920 they met again to divvy up more land in the middle east. Lebanon and Syria would go to France, and Palestine and Mesopotamia to England. In 1923 the League of Nations declared Palestine a state, an England mandate, and the line originally drawn in 1906 between Palestine and Egypt remained. In 1947, the United Nations recommended a plan to divide Palestine into two “independent Jewish and Arab states.” The Jewish organization that had long been helping resettle the area begrudgingly accepted the proposal, but most of the Arab contingent did not. In 1948 the British mandate expired, hundreds of Palestinians were expelled, 78% of the land was handed to Israel and before the year was up the region had their first Arab-Israeli war. In 1949 a temporary ‘Green Line’ was agreed upon by the Israeli’s and neighboring Arab countries. Its name comes from the green ink used to draw the line. But what I recall is the green line of pine trees that stop at the border between East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem. These trees have mostly been purchased and planted throughout Israel by the Jewish National Fund – a nonprofit started in 1901 to buy up land in Palestine for Jewish settlement.  The Green Line lasted until 1967 and the Six-Day War. Israel captured territories that we all know by name, but most couldn’t place on a map: East Jerusalem, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and the Sinai Peninsula (which went back to Egypt in 1979). Contentious struggles continue to this day. The latest 11-day deadly skirmish was over territorial disputes in the Gaza Strip.In 1996 Haifa University Geography professor, Yoram Bar-Gal researched the maps Israeli schools were using to teach kids the area’s geography. He also looked at how the media, Zionist organizations, like the Jewish National Fund, and the Israeli government used maps to ‘assert territorial socialization’. He also looked at textbooks published in Arab countries to educate their kids and citizens. No surprise. What he found is each side uses maps and names that reflect their cultural identity. Maps from the Arab countries called the region Palestine and the Jewish maps called the region Israel. In 2004, the American Jewish Community created a pamphlet targeting textbooks created in Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia asking, “How can there be peace in the Middle East if Israel isn’t even on the map?”These maps that each side have created can be construed as propaganda pieces. They each deliberately use names, labels, and language to systematically shape opinions, beliefs, and perceptions. That also sounds like the building of a brand using a map as a logo. Go search for a Palestine necklace with a map and see what you find. Then search for an Israeli necklace with a map. A logo with the same shape, but different meaning.FLEXIBLE, FUZZY, AND FLUIDWhen I was working in Excel on the built-in mapping feature, we had contemplative discussions about how to one day solve this sticky dilemma. Imagine you’re at a conference in Hong Kong presenting to an audience of mixed Asian descent – including Taiwanese. One of your slides includes a map you made in Excel of the population of Taiwan that includes that name on the map. Given China has not recognized Taiwan as a nation, many Chinese in the audience would take offense with how you labeled the map. But if at the last second you decided you should call it China, the Taiwanese in the audience would take offense. Given the presentation is happening in Hong Kong, should the map automatically select the name their government prefers? And what about you? What do you believe? Given this is your work, shouldn’t it reflect your personal belief? Or should it reflect the company you work for. It’s their laptop, their license of the software, and you were paid to make it. There’s no easy answer. In 2016 two geography researchers, Garrett Dash Nelson and Alasdair Rae, explored an alternative. They looked at commuting patterns across the United States and with the help of a computer determined regions based on human activity and not historical cadastral demarcations. It revealed familiar and logical grouping and names that anyone familiar with America could understand. But the shapes are counter to what Jefferson could ever have imagined. Still, the resulting shapes, while based on dynamic human patterns, are still fixed regions based on both man and machine interpretation. The authors conclude, “The detection of recognizable communities through this computational analysis suggests that human geography does in fact display statistically-significant patterns of structured regionalization…Such empirical analyses provide a scaffolding on which policymakers can evaluate the appropriate territorial shape and size of districts…Given the massive complexity of the connections inherent in national-scale commuter geography, these analyses should be understood as” providing only a sketchy foreshadowing of possibilities and “must then be subject to functional and practical scrutiny.”This all puts in to question the legitimacy of a nation-state in the first place. Inventing connected lines that make a recognizable shape, giving it a name, deciding who can live within its imaginary border neglects the reality on the ground. Nature doesn’t care about our maps. And, after all, we are part of nature. It is true that every complex system in nature has some organizing mechanism that creates and coordinates order. Just look at our DNA. But territory maps, like logos, have strict guidelines, rules, and laws that defy the fluidity of human behavior, culture, and civilization. Humanity is a puzzle made of pieces that continually change shape and interlock and reject each other in unexpected and surprising ways. It may be impossible to map such a thing. Perhaps traditional cartography, as we know it, is ill-fitted to the task. A convention seeking adaptation. Or maybe collective greed, hatred, delusion, and hubris on the part of some have led us to believe a map can be a logo and that a nation can be a brand. Subscribe at interplace.io

Podcast: Brain Inspired (LS 46 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: BI 092 Russ Poldrack: Cognitive OntologiesPub date: 2020-12-15 Russ and I discuss cognitive ontologies – the “parts” of the mind and their relations – as an ongoing dilemma of how to map onto each other what we know about brains and what we know about minds. We talk about whether we have the right ontology now, how he uses both top-down and data-driven approaches to analyze and refine current ontologies, and how all this has affected his own thinking about minds.

Some take-home points: Our folk psychological cognitive ontology hasn’t changed much since early Greek Philosophy, and especially since William James wrote about attention, consciousness, and so on.Using encoding models, we can predict brain responses pretty well based on what task a subject is performing or what “cognitive function” a subject is engaging, at least to a course approximation.Using a data-driven approach has potential to help determine mental structure, but important human decisions must still be made regarding how exactly to divide up the various “parts” of the mind.

Abstract: Comparing single-cell transcriptomic atlases from diverse organisms can provide evolutionary definition of cell types, elucidate the origins of cellular diversity, and transfer cell type knowledge between species. Yet, comparison among distant relatives, especially beyond a single phylum, is hindered by complex gene histories, lineage-specific inventions, and cell type evolutionary diversifications. Here, we develop a method to enable mapping cell atlases throughout Metazoa spanning sponge to mouse. Within phyla, we identify homologous cell types, even between distant species, with some even emerging from distinct germ layers. Across phyla, we find ancient cell type families that form densely interconnected groups, including contractile and stem cells, indicating they likely arose early in animal evolution through hierarchical diversifications. These homologous cell types often substitute paralog expressions at surprising prevalence. Our findings advance the understanding of cell type diversity across the tree of life and the evolution of associated gene expression programs. Copy rights belong to original authors.

In this episode I chat with Scott Solter about artistic insecurity and what it means to get in your own way; we also talk about the benefits of being mean, and what he calls "bringing the pathology" to a musical career.Solter is known primarily as a recording engineer, producer, and mixer who has worked with super-talents like St. Vincent, John Vanderslice, Spoon, The Mountain Goats, Maps and Atlases, Superchunk, Bombadil, and Fred Frith. An artist himself, Solter is a member of the ambient group, Boxharp, and has also released two solo albums, The Brief Light and One River. He has also released a number of album remixes of original albums by John Vanderslice, Pattern is Movement and others. Image used by permission of the artist.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.21.261735v1?rss=1 Authors: Moller, A. F., Natarajan, K. N. Abstract: Recent single-cell RNA-sequencing atlases have surveyed and identified major cell-types across different mouse tissues. Here, we computationally reconstruct gene regulatory networks from 3 major mouse cell atlases to capture functional regulators critical for cell identity, while accounting for a variety of technical differences including sampled tissues, sequencing depth and author assigned cell-type labels. Extracting the regulatory crosstalk from mouse atlases, we identify and distinguish global regulons active in multiple cell-types from specialised cell-type specific regulons. We demonstrate that regulon activities accurately distinguish individual cell types, despite differences between individual atlases. We generate an integrated network that further uncovers regulon modules with coordinated activities critical for cell-types, and validate modules using available experimental data. Inferring regulatory networks during myeloid differentiation from wildtype and Irf8 KO cells, we uncover functional contribution of Irf8 regulon activity and composition towards monocyte lineage. Our analysis provides an avenue to further extract and integrate the regulatory crosstalk from single-cell expression data. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.08.077172v1?rss=1 Authors: Holla, B., Taylor, P. A., Glen, D. R., Lee, J. A., Vaidya, N., Mehta, U. M., Venkatasubramanian, G., Pal, P., Saini, J., Rao, N. P., Ahuja, C., Kuriyan, R., Krishna, M., Basu, D., Kalyanram, K., Chakrabarti, A., Orfanos, D. P., Barker, G. J., Cox, R. W., Schumann, G., Bharath, R. D., Benegal, V. Abstract: Anatomical brain templates are commonly used as references in neurological MRI studies, for bringing data into a common space for group level statistics and coordinate reporting. Having a group representative template increases the accuracy of alignment, improves statistics and decreases distortions (as well as potential biases) in final coordinate reports. Given the inherent variability in brain morphology across age and geography, it is important to have templates that are as representative as possible for both age and population. In this study, we developed and validated a new set of T1w Indian brain templates (IBT) from a large number of subjects (total n=466) across different Indian states and acquired at multiple 3T MRI sites. A new tool in AFNI, make_template_dask.py, which uses the Dask python parallelization library, was created to efficiently make a template from a group of subjects. A total of five age-specific categories of IBTs [ages 6-11 yrs (C1), 12-18 yrs (C2), 19-25 yrs (C3), 26-40 yrs (C4), and 41-60 yrs (C5)], as well as maximum probability map (MPM) atlases for each template were generated; for each age group's template-atlas pair, there is both a population-average and a typical version. Validation experiments on an independent Indian structural and functional MRI dataset show the appropriateness of IBTs for spatial normalization of Indian brains. The results indicate significant structural differences when comparing the IBTs and MNI template, with these differences being maximal along the Anterior-Posterior and Inferior-Superior axes, but minimal Left-Right. For each age group, the MPM brain atlases provide reasonably good representation of the native-space volumes in the IBT space, except in a few regions with high inter-subject variability as indicated by high mean deformation value. These findings provide evidence to support the use of age and population-specific templates in human brain mapping studies. These templates, with corresponding atlases and tools, are publicly available on the NIMHANS and AFNI websites. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

There’s a new campaign slogan among Democratic politicians: “Abolish Billionaires.” Nobody can honestly deserve a billion dollars, they claim, so they want to impose radical new taxes on the super-wealthy. Indeed, people are arguing that the very existence of billionaires is some kind of moral outrage. Wealthy people are being blamed today for all the world’s problems. Yet all of those problems are actually the result of the very ideas being preached by the same leaders and intellectuals who want to “abolish” the billionaires. But instead of vilifying and hating billionaires, we should be thanking them for improving all of our lives on a massive scale with the products they offer for voluntary trade on a free market. As Ayn Rand argued in her novel Atlas Shrugged, if anyone deserves thanks on Thanksgiving, it’s those productive Atlases who carry the whole world on their shoulders. Join Keith Lockitch as he argues that the real moral travesty is the campaign to abolish billionaires.

Dutch graphic designer Joost Grootens is an expert at filtering and translating complex data into visually compelling atlases with a narrative. Gestalten.tv met Grootens, who is program leader of the Master of Information Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven, during his recent two-day workshop at Gestalten Space.In our interview he offers some insight on how books—and atlases in particular—let us reach a better understanding of the changing world we live in by stemming the flood of images and data. Very much rooted in design devoted to clarity yet not shy of taking an unconventional approach, Grootens and his team are dedicated to creating contemporary objects that offer their audience the ultimate in information experience.

[Accordance 10: Basic] Remember the old Bible map transparencies of yesteryear? There's a reason they aren't around any longer. In 1998 Accordance launched its interactive and customizable Bible Atlas, the first of its kind in Bible study software. Using the metaphor of transparent layers, Accordance's Atlas offered unequaled flexibility and ease of use. Today the Atlas remains one of Accordance's most popular resources. It includes a dozen different backgrounds, thirty region layers, seventy-five routes (most of them animated), thirteen site collections, and six sample layers, as well as continuous elevation and geographic coordinate readouts and rotatable 3D perspectives. Users can even create their own map layers! Join Dr. J as he offers this retrospective look at the Accordance Atlas.

In the world of Atlas Shrugged, the 1957 novel by Ayn Rand, the men of the mind (The Atlases) left the world and moved to a place called “Galt's Gulch,” tucked away in the Colorado mountains, hidden by a refractive heat field where they could not be discovered. There they continued to work and live as productive individuals without government intervention.

Who waits for a ship to come in? Lonesome girls, often conspiring with the ocean to assuage their guilt. Longshoremen, figuring they have time to sober up.

In the meantime, I am looking for one going out. One day a grey-beard loon I be.Danse Macabre?
