The future of paper could come from gene-edited trees. (Washington Post)

It looked like something a kindergartner might use in an art project. So ordinary looking that, when Jack Wang was presenting it once, someone nearly set a drink down on it by accident.

“Almost gave me a heart attack,” recalled Wang, a geneticist here at North Carolina State University.

The thin, white, coaster-size circle of paper Wang was holding in his lab was anything but ordinary. He and his colleagues made this piece of paper from genetically edited wood — a material his team hopes will transform the way paper and other wood products are produced.

For decades, scientists have tinkered with the DNA of plants, using genetic engineering and other biotechnologies to produce crops that taste better, resist pesticides, contain more nutrients and improve yields for farmers. New tools, including artificial intelligence as well as a Nobel Prize-winning technology called CRISPR, are allowing researchers to edit genes with more precision and at a lower cost than ever before.

Now, Wang and his colleagues are aiming higher, literally. His team is trying to use gene editing to build trees that are better for making paper and other products, requiring less land and producing less pollution than natural varieties.

If there is a molecule that makes wood wood, it’s lignin.

Lignin is found in every land plant, from the tallest redwood to the shortest shrub. It is a polymer more complex than any other natural or man-made one, according to Wang. Its tough amorphous structure helps trees transportwater, ward off pests and maintain the rigidity they need to grow tall, stretch their limbs and reach sunlight.

For lumber in construction, lignin is a good thing. But for producing wood products that need to be pliable — such as paper, or cardboard, or diapers — it is anything but.

The paper industry uses lots of chemicals and energy to remove lignin from pulp. Reducing the energy used in the delignification process could cut costs and emissions. In the United States alone, the sector emitted 31.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2022 — equal to the output of eightcoal-fired plants.

“It takes a lot to turn a hard block of wood into a diaper,” said Rodolphe Barrangou, a professorat North Carolina State University who is working with Wang.

So Wang and Barrangou set out to grow trees containing less lignin.

WEEK 6: OBJECT + SITE

Embodied Energy

In terms of site, we chose a park bench, we wanted an area that had a high embodied energy, as we planned on making our artwork using materials with a high embodied energy such as wire and twine.

My partner and I chose to enter this experiment without a proper plan, it was then that we found a series of recycled copper swirls that we planned to incorporate into the bench.

I would suggest this is a process based artwork where both my partner and I worked with the experimental shapes that both the wires and twine formed.

Furthermore we followed this same approach when attaching the work to the bench . We did have one outline - to attach pieces to make sure they were hanging. We figured that this would allow the work to be fluid and move with the wind, rather than being static.

In reflection our collaboration does have a combined embodied energy with site and material, which does meet the brief. We thought that the creation of both metal used for wire an benches were high which does lead to an association. When we were working with the materials we thought it be best to not have a plan and experiment, and overall despite the work being fine, the intricacies allow for the work to be cohesive.

Spatial Artist

Jeppe Hein

Danish Artist Jeppe Hein creates sculptural installations that encourage the audience to have playing encounters with both the environment and one another.

He often works in optical phenomena in which viewers need to work their way around or through the artwork.

Follow Me (2009) is a square formation of 76 high mirrored beams that viewers must walk throughout

“The work responds to the history of the University’s site, in particular, the original 18th-century design of the landscape gardener Sir Humphry Repton, whose garden designs similarly sought to invoke imaginative encounters” -Jeppe Hein

The labyrinth of beams reflects the viewers inside the work but also those surrounding it. This combined with the vast greenery that encompasses the piece, creates an environment where people can have fun and 'play' with the work.

Jonathan Jones

Jonathan Jones is a Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi artist who works mainly with installation. All of his works relate back to his Aboriginal heritage, often commenting on racial segregation but also the connection his lineage has with the land.

Barrangal Dyara (skin and bones) (2016) is a site-specific installation artwork located in the Sydney Botanic Gardens.

This work traces the outline of the grand Garden Palace, where it originally stood on Macquarie Street - this building held many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artifacts taken from the colonial frontier. This work is his response to the lost stolen artifacts

The installation featured 15,000 bleached-white gypsum shields, a material used in Aboriginal mourning ceremonies

Part B - Colour

In Bitter Medicine: A Graphic Memoir of Mental Illness, there is no colour used in the sketches drawn by Olivier Martini. There are only a few instances when Martini uses black and white shading to enhance the emotion of what he’s depicting, while the rest are line drawings of a seemingly deformed and chaotic quality. This entails the thought processes of a man who is telling the story of the adversities he’s facing, trying to survive on his own in a system that doesn’t properly support him. Olivier illustrates a dark atmosphere that ultimately reflects his daily struggle with schizophrenia, as he tries to the best of his ability to fight through it. The only colours seen in this book are on cover design, with a dark purple background, text in gold, grey, and white, and some of Olivier’s illustrations in which highlight essential parts of the story, one of them a sketch of his medication, and the other a sketch from the introduction of the memoir. These colours in the illustrations provide a small amount of insight to the reader before they begin reading, and emphasize the themes of mental illness and our understanding of people who suffer from it.

Personal Ethic

     If it hasn’t been apparent by now, nature and anything to do with the environment is a big deal to me. It’s my go-to place as a stress reliever and it plays a critical role in the health and development of humans and animals. The different sounds and experiences I’ve had with nature brought me closer to it and have become my source of fun and excitement, as well as become a stress reliever later on in my life. When exams are near or I have a stressful presentation, I’ve learned to use nature as a way to relieve stress and help me clear my mind and get my thoughts straight. A walk in the park, or on a trail is enough to calm me down and relax myself for any challenging exam that I might be preparing for. Nature is critical in the health of humans and animals as it provides vital oxygen as well as water and different essentials we might need. Clean oxygen, clean water, shelter, food is all essential to the growth of humans and animals. Creating pollution that hinders these factors can lead to a lower quality of life and lead to greater health risks.      A revolutionary new technology called CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is a breakthrough science improvement that allows for the editing of DNA in living organisms (Barrangou & Doudna 2016). As this is a huge, enormous topic, I will very briefly sum it up. Crispr is a sequence of DNA that protein found in cells that are used to fight off attacks from previously attacking viruses (Barrangou & Doudna 2016). This is sort of like an antiviral defence system in cells so that when the same virus attacks, the cell already has the defence DNA so it cant be attacked again (Barrangou & Doudna 2016). This is great and all, but the most important part is the protein CAS9 (Barrangou & Doudna 2016). This is a protein that does the insertion of DNA into living cells in order to prevent future infection (Barrangou & Doudna 2016). What scientists learned is that we are able to give CAS9 any DNA we want to add into a cell, and CAS9 will do it with precision accuracy (Barrangou & Doudna 2016). This ultimately means we are able to modify organisms however we want. Do we want a cure for HIV? We can give antibiotics that rarely work, or we can use CAS9 to insert DNA that prevents HIV from infecting the person in the first place. Moving this into a nature perspective. We have great levels of pollution and greenhouse gases that are slowly eating the ozone layer, causing global warming and massive impacts on the environment. We can try to prevent this by moving to electric vehicles, not burning fossil fuels, recycling, or we can use CRISPR to our advantage. We have already used genetic modification to create bacteria that eat at oil which are used to help clean up oil spills that happen in our oceans. To combat pollution. Insert a DNA sequence that allows for more uptake of carbon dioxide in plants and trees that will help us clean up the air just like the bacteria we use to clean up oil. This is a very complex subject but things like this are possible with current technologies. I believe this technology will help us with the different pollutions we as humans have caused to the environment.      This video describes very well the uses that we can have with CRISPR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAhjPd4uNFY&ab_channel=Kurzgesagt%E2%80%93InaNutshell

     Since this technology is not 100% understood and used there are still things, I personally do right now to prolong the amount of pollution I am causing. I work at a lab that tests water, soil, and air samples around Ontario and we use this data to show what pollutants and different things are found in our ecosystem. We use this data and send it off to companies and the government to help aid with clean-up and to help clean-up crews know what to use for any pollutants that we found. Knowing what pollutants are found in soil can help with clean-up aids and help crack down on how those pollutants got there in the first place. I tested different sewage, soil, and water samples around Guelph for different oils, metals, and chemicals and we sent our results to the government for further evaluation. This is my personal responsibility I have, to help with keeping the environment clean and protected. Other little things I do are recycle and use locally sourced things to lower my greenhouse footprint. It’s a little thing but little things add up. I also currently inform my relatives about different recycling practices that they might be doing wrong.      I am not a very important social figure that has a lot of power to make huge changes like the government or a celebrity. But as a 21-year-old, I do anything in my power to help make a change and keep the environment as clean as I can.      I also try to inspire others to go out and experience nature on their own to help strengthen others’ bonds with nature. My cousins and siblings are very hesitant about the outdoors as they prefer to be indoors and spend their time on their phones and video games. I have recently begun a tradition in our family where the cousins all gather at a picnic or an outdoor setting and spend time together. We always pick different scenarios, from Rattlesnake Conservation Area, to just up north at their cottage we find different ways to get closer to each other as well as get closer to nature. Slowly I’ve noticed they have begun to love the outdoors and this love can directly translate to being more aware of how pollutions are negative. “If he is indeed wise, he does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather, leads you in the threshold of your own mind” – Kahlil Gibran If you remove a child from the opportunity of bonding with nature then that child will get less of a balanced moral compass (Beck et al 2018). That’s why giving my siblings the opportunity to go out and experience nature with them, and sometimes on their own, will help them learn about the different pleasures they can get from it, as well as how important it really is to us, even if we don’t directly interact with it.      Nature is a very important aspect of my life. I cherish it and I always make sure to appreciate what it does to me. Personally, it’s a stress reliever that helps me cope with exams and the different stresses of life. The environment is also detrimental to the health of humans and different plants and animals. I believe that CRISPR is the future and since we are finding it challenging to cope with the increasing pollution, we are experiencing every day, CRISPR offers an efficient way to combat the ever-increasing pollution. Since this is a new technology that isn’t used very much yet, I still do my part by working at Bureau Veritas to help companies and governments help with pollution in Ontario as well as help inform others of different practices and things, they can do to help lower their personal carbon footprint.

[silent-era-of-cinema]

Theda Bara (born Theodosia Burr Goodman; July 29, 1885 – April 7, 1955) was an American silent film and stage actress.

Bara was one of the more popular actresses of the silent era and one of cinema's early sex symbols. Her femme fatale roles earned her the nickname "The Vamp" (short for vampire),[a] later fueling the rising popularity in "vamp" roles that encapsulated exoticism and sexual domination. Bara made more than 40 films between 1914 and 1926, but most were lost in the 1937 Fox vault fire. After her marriage to Charles Brabin in 1921, she made two more feature films and then retired from acting in 1926, never appearing in a sound film.

Bara was born Theodosia Burr Goodman on July 29, 1885 in the Avondale section of Cincinnati, Ohio. She was named after the daughter of US Vice President Aaron Burr. Her father was Bernard Goodman (1853–1936), a prosperous Jewish tailor born in Poland. Her mother, Pauline Louise Françoise (née de Coppett; 1861–1957), was born in Switzerland. Bernard and Pauline married in 1882. Theda had two younger siblings: Marque (1888–1954) and Esther (1897–1965), who also became a film actress under the name of Lori Bara.

Bara attended Walnut Hills High School, graduating in 1903. After attending the University of Cincinnati for two years, she worked mainly in local theater productions, but did explore other projects. After moving to New York City in 1908, she made her Broadway debut the same year in The Devil.

Most of Bara's early films were shot along the East Coast, where the film industry was centered at that time, primarily at the Fox Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Bara lived with her family in New York City during this time. The rise of Hollywood as the center of the American film industry forced her to relocate to Los Angeles to film the epic Cleopatra (1917), which became one of Bara's biggest hits. No known prints of Cleopatra exist today, but numerous photographs of Bara in costume as the Queen of the Nile have survived.

Between 1915 and 1919, Bara was Fox studio's biggest star; but, tired of being typecast as a vamp, she allowed her five-year contract with Fox to expire. Her final Fox film was The Lure of Ambition (1919). In 1920, she turned briefly to the stage, appearing on Broadway in The Blue Flame. Bara's fame drew large crowds to the theater, but her acting was savaged by critics.

Her career suffered without Fox studio's support, and she did not make another film until The Unchastened Woman (1925) for Chadwick Pictures. Bara retired after making only one more film, the short comedy Madame Mystery (1926), made for Hal Roach and directed by Stan Laurel, in which she parodied her vamp image.

At the height of her fame, Bara earned $4,000 per week (the equivalent of over $56,000 per week in 2017 adjusted dollars). Bara's better-known roles were as the "vamp", although she attempted to avoid typecasting by playing wholesome heroines in films such as Under Two Flags and Her Double Life. She appeared as Juliet in a version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Although Bara took her craft seriously, she was too successful as an exotic "wanton woman" to develop a more versatile career.

The origin of Bara's stage name is disputed; The Guinness Book of Movie Facts and Feats says it came from director Frank Powell, who learned Theda had a relative named Barranger, and that Theda was a childhood nickname. In promoting the 1917 film Cleopatra, Fox Studio publicists noted that the name was an anagram of Arab death, and her press agents, to enhance her exotic appeal to moviegoers, falsely promoted the young Ohio native as "the daughter of an Arab sheik and a French woman, born in the Sahara." In 1917, the Goodman family legally changed its surname to Bara.

Bara was known for wearing very revealing costumes in her films. Such outfits were banned from Hollywood films after the Production Code (a.k.a. the Hays Code) started in 1930, and then was more strongly enforced in 1934. It was popular at that time to promote an actress as mysterious, with an exotic background. The studios promoted Bara with a massive publicity campaign, billing her as the Egyptian-born daughter of a French actress and an Italian sculptor. They claimed she had spent her early years in the Sahara desert under the shadow of the Sphinx, then moved to France to become a stage actress. (In fact, Bara never had been to Egypt, and her time in France amounted to just a few months.) They called her the "Serpent of the Nile" and encouraged her to discuss mysticism and the occult in interviews. Some film historians point to this as the birth of two Hollywood phenomena: the studio publicity department and the press agent (later evolving into the public relations person).

A 2016 book by Joan Craig with Beverly F. Stout chronicles many personal, first-hand accounts of the lives of Theda Bara and Charles Brabin. It reveals a great dichotomy between Theda Bara's screen persona and her real-life persona. Included are Bara's surprised responses to the critical reactions to her screen portrayals from a sector of the community. The author was befriended by Theda Bara and Charles Brabin beginning when she was a young girl. Craig's photographic-like memory paints an important picture of how they lived, where they lived, and what they said and did, even to the point of describing in great detail most of the rooms of their house. The book describes how Bara, who learned pattern making and wig making from her mother and father, designed and created most of the costumes and gowns she wore in her films, including the striking costumes she wore in Cleopatra.

Bara married British-born American film director Charles Brabin in 1921. They honeymooned at The Pines Hotel in Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada, and later purchased a 400-hectare (990-acre) property down the coast from Digby at Harbourville, Nova Scotia, overlooking the Bay of Fundy, eventually building a summer home they called Baranook.[15] They had no children. Bara resided in a villa-style home in Cincinnati, which served as the "honors villa" at Xavier University. Demolition of the home began in July 2011.

In 1936, she appeared on Lux Radio Theatre during a broadcast version of The Thin Man with William Powell and Myrna Loy. She did not appear in the play but instead announced her plans to make a movie comeback, which never materialized. She appeared on radio again in 1939 as a guest on Texaco Star Theatre.

In 1949, producer Buddy DeSylva and Columbia Pictures expressed interest in making a movie of Bara's life to star Betty Hutton, but the project never materialized.

On April 7, 1955, after a lengthy stay at California Lutheran Hospital in Los Angeles, Bara died there of stomach cancer. She was survived by her husband Charles Brabin, her mother, and sister Lori. She was interred as Theda Bara Brabin at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

Bara often is cited as the first sex symbol of the film era.

For her contributions to the film industry, Bara received a motion pictures star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. Her star is located at 6307 Hollywood Boulevard.

Bara never appeared in a sound film, lost or otherwise. A 1937 fire at Fox's nitrate film storage vaults in New Jersey destroyed most of that studio's silent films. Bara made more than 40 films between 1914 and 1926, but complete prints of only six still exist: The Stain (1914), A Fool There Was (1915), East Lynne (1916), The Unchastened Woman (1925), and two short comedies for Hal Roach.

In addition to these, a few of her films remain in fragments, including Cleopatra (just a few seconds of footage), a clip thought to be from The Soul of Buddha, and a few other unidentified clips featured in the documentary Theda Bara et William Fox (2001). Most of the clips can be seen in the documentary The Woman with the Hungry Eyes (2006). As to vamping, critics stated that her portrayal of calculating, cold-hearted women was morally instructive to men. Bara responded by saying "I will continue doing vampires as long as people sin." Additional footage has been found which shows her behind the scenes on a picture. While the hairstyle has led some to theorize that this may be from The Lure of Ambition, this has not been confirmed.

In 1994, she was honored with her image on a U.S. postage stamp designed by caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. The Fort Lee Film Commission dedicated Main Street and Linwood Avenue in Fort Lee, New Jersey as "Theda Bara Way" in May 2006 to honor Bara, who made many of her films at the Fox Studio on Linwood and Main.

Over a period of several years, filmmaker and film historian Phillip Dye reconstructed Cleopatra on video. Titled Lost Cleopatra, the full-length feature was created by editing together production-still picture montages combined with the surviving film clip. The script was based on the original scenario with modifications derived from research into censorship reports, reviews of the film, and synopses from period magazines. Dye screened the film at the Hollywood Heritage Museum on February 8, 2017.

Teori Uang

Bismillahirrahmanirrahiem...

Kamu pernah berkeyakinan seperti ini tidak? “Tenang uang mah ada, jngan khawatir, yakin aja sama Allah”. Kalo aku sih sering mengucapkan kalimat itu ketika duit benar-benar gada tapi misal kita pengen jajan atau lagi butuh sesuatu hehe.

Tau ga sih kalimat itu meyakinkan kita pada rabb kita, bahwa memang rezeki itu sudah diatur, karena umar bin khttab berkata “siapa yang bertakwa kepada Allah Swt., maka Dia akan melindunginya dan barrang siapa yang bertawakal kepada-Nya, maka Dia akan mencukupinya”. Kira kira seperti itulah.

Oiyah, tau tentang teori uang?

Uang itu mengisi tempat yang kosong. Karena-Nya jika allah Swt., ingin kembali mengisi dompet kita, kosongkanlah sebagiannya untuk membantu sesama.

Uang itu bagaikan airdalam gelas. Jika belum kita minum, maka air dari teko tak akan bisa mengisinya.

Uang itu bagaikan air. Jika ditahan dia kotor, adapun jika kita melepasnya maka ia akan bersih.

Uang itu bagaikan air. Jika ia ditahan, maka ia akan mencari jalan kelaurnya sendiri.

Karena Nabi Muhammad Saw bersabda “tidaklah sedekah bercampur dengan harta haram, melainkan ia akan merusak harta tersebut” (HR Bazzar dari aisyah) ia akan mencari jalan keluarnya sendiiri melalui apapun, misal dngan kita sakit, keluarga kita sakit yang memang mengharuskan ke dokter ataupun rumah sakit, atau hendphone kita rusak/hilang dsb yang menguras harta kita.

Dan, uang itu sperti udara, ia slalu mengisi ruang yang kosong. Karenanya berbagi dan kosongkan! Biarlah Allah Swt. Dengan caranya mengisi kehampaan itu.

Jadi, apasih yang kita tunggu hanya menyisihkan harta kita untuk orang lain, karena harta kita ada hak oranglain juga yang memang kita harus tunaikan dan keluarkan. Toh rezeki kita sudah diatur sama Allah.. berbagilah, kamu akan tau hasilnya jika kamu sudah senang dengan namanya yang berbagi.

In the essay “Chicano/a Critical Practices: Reflections of Tomas Ybarra-Frausto's Concept of Rasquachismo”,Barnet-Sanchez argues that chicano art is a vital cultural force in the United States. Chicano art continues to question the role and direction of the art of  the Americas, its challenges and redefines the hemispheric and national parameters of American art and affirms its value and place in the national arts. It helps to develop a richer and more accurate picture of American art history and that’s why it cannot be ignored and erased. 

Indeed, we have to argue for an approach that does not deny the transnational ties between cultures. We need to bring minorities into the picture as they are part of our society. We have to foresee the importance of a meaningful integration that evolves from answering questions such as: Where do the mutually constructed fields of Latino and American art overlap, digress, or even disappear? How does engaging the works of American artists, regardless of ethnicity or race, ultimately change how we think of American art, history, and culture? We should take actions like Jonathan Jones, an artist from Australia, who works toward uniting Indigenous and settler history together. Particularly in his installation, Barrangal Dyara (Skin and Bones), which is made of 15,000 white shields that are scattered around the Royal Botanic Garden, he serves to pay tribute to Indigenous artefacts and remains which were burnt down in 1882. Jones wants to remind us that it is important to recognize their indigenous part of their history and value it.  Similarly, we have to value our heritage and other cultures. We have to promote the ideas of intersectionality, compassion and empathy in order to fight against social erasure.

Nick Groom talks to Nicola Barranger and explains why there is much more to Frankenstein the novel than we might realise. In comparison with film versions, the novel has much more focus on the monster or ‘being’ itself, a tragic sentient being whose fate makes us think about issues of rights and responsibilities. He uncovers the way Mary Shelley constructed the novel, and invited the readers to consider these profound questions.
