Carleton University will host the lecture Anatomy, Geology and their Influence on Leonardos Art presented by historian Domenico Laurenza.

In this lecture, Laurenza will discuss why, as an artist, Leonardo da Vinci became focused on anatomy and studied the Earth like a scientist. He will dig into da Vincis scientific studies in anatomy and geology and their results.

This lecture is part of Cinquecento: Carleton Celebrates Leonardo da Vinci.

When: Monday, Nov. 25, 2019, at 7:30 p.m.Where: Room 1301, Health Sciences Building, CarletonInfo: This event is free and open to the public. A campus map is available online.

Media are invited to attend the event.

Da Vincis scientific studies are connected with his artistic work through the representation of the human figure and landscape subjects that represent the microcosm and the macrocosm.

The lecture will explore this topic and expand on Laurenzas research into da Vincis anatomical studies and geological work. In particular, the lecture will include new information that has emerged during the preparation of the new edition of Leonardos Codex Leicester.

Rutilio Olivera, Executive Pastry Chef and Co-Owner of Sook Pastry makes the Glen layer by luscious layer. Anne-Marie Caruso, NorthJersey

Part of pastry is spectacle: glistening tarts topped with a rainbow of sliced fruits, adorable mini cakes covered withfrills of icing, fluffy mousse with swirls of cloud-like cream.

And a shop that knows the importance of display-case pageantry is Sook Pastry Shop in Ridgewood. We looked at each layer of Sook's popular Glen Cake, named for a street in its hometown, to better understand the appeal. The Glen Cake is sliced and presented so that its six even layers are visible.

"People decide on what to get based on what they see in the display case," saysexecutive pastry chef/partner Rutilio Olivera, who devised the Glen Cake along with pastry chef/owner Keum-Sook Park. "Every part of the cake has to be perfect."

Here's a breakdown of each delicious level.

A thin slice of chocolate sponge cake to give the pastry a soft yet solid base to pile mousse on top of. Think Betty Crocker cake mix, just home-made and much, much better. It's a sweet, light and yes spongy cake.

The anatomy of a pastry: We break down this Sook Pastry Shop stunner - NorthJersey.com

WACO, Texas For Lincoln Riley, there was no impassioned, season-changing speech or movie-caliber moment of truth. The head coach didnt have to say much to his Oklahoma team at halftime. The Sooners knew what they needed to do. When he pulled his team together before the break, down 28-3 to Baylor, he reminded them there was still forever left. They believed they could flip it. When a team has won as much as these guys have, its just not that daunting.

I knew we were going to just fight our tails off, Riley said. You just knew that. Our team knew that. They felt that.

Matt Rhules message at halftime: Keep playing, keep playing, keep playing. He knew the pressure was on now, no matter the 31-10 lead. His team hadnt been in this spot before, holding this big of a lead against this good of a team with these kinds of stakes. Rhule had heard all week about the need for Baylor to start fast, and his team actually did it. But as...

There have been many listsasking about fans' favorite characters. But what about the worst? On Grey's Anatomy, fans have seen many characters leave just as quickly as they have arrived. There are only two reasons for this: they are there to cause some drama or to set off another character's exit. Most of the time, these revolving door characters are not liked by the viewers.

RELATED:Grey's Anatomy: 6 Best Couples (And 5 Worst)

But which supporting character do you think has been the worst? From the reappearance of Denny Duquette to Nancy the rude Shepherd sibling, here are the 10 most hated supporting characters on the series, ranked.

When Denny was introduced to the show, everyone loved him. After Alex cheated on Izzie, it was nice to seeher be treated with the love and respect she deserved. Fans were devastated for the couple when Denny sadly passed away.

However, they were all confused when Ghost Denny reappeared. Although Izzie got back together with Alex, she soon began a relationship with the apparition. Fans got sick of seeing Ghost Denny as he lingered around with no explanation of how his existence was possible. Even after Izzie's tumor was diagnosed he still popped up.

The whole Ava/Alex romance was a relationship the fans detested. Ava, otherwise known as Rebecca Pope, was first introduced in Season 4 after being involved in the ferry boat accident. Alex was assigned to the case,and the two grew closer.

Ava soon came back for Alex after leaving her husband and baby. However, her presence began to affect Alex's work and personal life. In the end,he was forced to get her sectioned as she began to struggle with her new identity. Although he claimed to like her, fans never knew what happened to Ava after she was committed. It just made the storyline seem pointless.

Eliza Minnick was one of the most hated doctors to ever walk the halls of Grey Sloan. Introduced in Season 13, Minnick was brought in to replace Webber as the head of the surgical residency program. She also caught the eye of Arizona,and the two briefly started a relationship.

RELATED:Grey's Anatomy: The 10 Worst Episodes According to IMDb

However, Minnick became the enemy of many attendings when she intervened in their surgeries. She proved to be a stickler for the rules, ordering the residents and attendings to follow protocol. Fans soon rejoiced when Bailey gave Minnick her marching orders for putting Stephanie in danger.

In Season 9, the hospital was on the verge of collapse after they were forced to pay the crash settlement. As a result, Alana Cahill was brought into the hospital to help them find an investor. Similar to Minnick, Alana got on the wrong side of the attendings by trying to change the hospital procedures and administration.

She first closed the ER, which April and Derek protested against. She also placed cameras in the CCU, where a remote physician would supervise the doctors with their bedside manner and patient care. Alana cemented her enemy status among the attendings when she disapproved of them saving a trauma patient.

Out of all the Shepherd sisters, Nancy has proven to be the worst one of all. When it came to her siblings, Nancy didn't treat them with respect. She was rude, judgmental and very unsupportive of Amelia and Derek's decisions.

When Derek wanted to divorce Addison because she cheated, Nancy told him to forgive her. She refused to donate a nerve to help Derek with his hand. Unsurprisingly, Nancy treated Amelia just as badly as her other siblings, humiliating her in front of Link. It's come to the point where fans hate every moment she's onscreen.

In Season 7,Lucy Fieldswas first introduced when Arizona picked her to monitor Callie's pregnancy. Lucyalso began a relationship with Alex after the pair briefly butted heads over their patients.

RELATED:Grey's Anatomy: 5 Best Character Arcs (& 5 Most Disappointing)

However, she cemented herself as one of the worst characters when she poached a job opportunity off of Alex. In the episode "I Will Survive," Lucy overheard Arizona offer Alex a position at the Namboze Clinic in Africa. After much debate, Alex chose to turn down the position because he was in love with Lucy. Turned out the relationship wasn't as important to the obstetrician, as she swipedit from under his nose.

Reed Adamson first made an appearance in Season 6, coming in during the Seattle Mercy-West merger. Fans took an immediate dislike to the resident after she refused to move out of George's cubby. She also butted heads often with Alex over the handling of patient care.

Other than the fact that she was April's best friend and would sleep with attendings to scrub in on surgeries, fans learned nothing else about Reed. It was hard to form an opinion when the writers didn't give her a storyline of her own. Although it was a shock, her death had no impact on the show.

Another person fans didn't take to was Penelope Blake. Penny didn't make a good impression on the fans when she was one of the doctors responsible for Derek's death. They were even more surprised when she was introduced as Callie's new girlfriend, transferring to Grey Sloan to take part in the residency program.

AlthoughPenny was nice, no one could warm up to the resident as she continued tofosterchaos. She caused a custody battle between Arizona and Callie when the ortho surgeon wanted to move with Sofia.Penny was also responsible fortensionbetween Meredith and Amelia and had her own mini-feud with Stephanie. No one was really sad to see the back of Penny.

Gary Clark has to be one of the worst villains on the show. Responsible for the deaths of many physicians, including Reed and Charles Percy, Gary was the gunman that went on a shooting spree.

At first, fans felt sympathetic towards Gary when his wife was pulled off of life support. However, they became unnerved when the grieving widower continued to show up at the hospital. The firsttime waswhen he filed a lawsuit against Derek and the hospital for 'killing his wife." The second was when he turned up brandishing a gun. No one expected this storyline would take such a sinister turn.

Although the guy had been highly respected in the medical community, Harper Avery was the absolute worst. He was disrespectful to everyone, including Jackson, whom he treated like a child and belittled about his divorce.

Harper sealed himself as the worst supporting character when the surgeons found out he had sexually assaulted hundreds of women. Everything that the Harper Avery award represented was now tainted by the revelation of the man's true self. The foundation he set up was quickly dissolved and was replaced by Catherine Fox's, who promised to help his victims heal.

Grey's Anatomy: Most Hated Supporting Characters, Ranked - Screen Rant

Inside the winding alleyways of Londons Camden Market, past walls of combat boots, money exchanges and bustling food vendors, a small white sign announces the presence of the complexs newest tenant: the Vagina Museum.

On Saturday, during its grand opening, the humble brick space dedicated to understanding and appreciating the vagina, vulva and gynecological anatomy was packed, mostly with women but from all generations. I heard visitors exchange confessions like I didnt know what a period was until I had one and I used to think that all vulvas look the same. Topics of discussion that are often reduced to hushed tones in public spaces, if they are brought up at all, were thrown around with ease and enthusiasm.

Its almost like theres an embargo in society around having very open, frank, honest and educational conversations around vaginas, said Marissa Conway, 30, who is a founder of the Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy and attended the opening. I didnt expect to have a visceral reaction of gratitude, but theres an element of relief that we can talk about this.

The museum is the first of its kind, an answer of sorts to Icelands Phallological Museum. With nearly 300 penises and penile parts from local animals, the specimen-rich institution ranks among Reykjaviks top tourist attractions. While this monument to male genitalia is in many ways an orthodox museum that revolves around a permanent collection of marvels, the Vagina Museum is not. Like the citys Migration Museum, which is focused on the countrys immigrants and refugees, and the Museum of Transology, which purports to be the largest collection dedicated to the lives of transgender people, the Vagina Museum is an institution whose mission is driven by social justice and public health initiatives.

Those expecting to see ancient fertility sculptures, medieval chastity belts or Victorian-era vibrators on display should know that the young, crowd-funded venture includes no such artifacts. At the Vagina Museum, visitors will discover informational posters and sculptures, a small shop with vaginally themed products, and an events calendar that includes a dinner for Trans Day of Remembrance and Cliterature (book club) meetings.

It was much smaller than I anticipated, which was disappointing, said Seren Mehmet, 28, a technical recruiter at Amazon. I wanted to see more vaginas!

The museum has secured a two-year lease on its Camden Market lot, but after that, there are plans for expansion. The ultimate goal is to build a permanent museum, but that takes a lot of time and resources. This is like our starter home, said the museums founder and director, Florence Schechter, in a phone interview ahead of the opening. The debut show, Muff Busters: Vagina Myths and How to Fight Them, is intentionally general and instructive. I think its especially useful for younger people, because most of the time we have to figure this stuff out ourselves, said Jade Dagwell Douglas, 22, who is a student in London.

The anatomy has such complex politics around it, that we found it was best to first engage people through what they know, so we can teach them things they dont know, said Sarah Creed, the museums curator. Menstruation, cleanliness, sexual activity and contraception are things that a majority of people have discussed in some format, or experienced in some way. The exhibit addresses all of those topics.

We can talk about cold, hard facts all we want, but thats not going to change peoples minds. Its all about unpacking social constructs and changing perspective through engagement, Ms. Creed said.

Charlotte Wilcox, who illustrated the posters in the exhibit, said it was her job to be as inclusive as possible in bringing these myths to life. Rini Jones, 25, a policy and advocacy adviser in London, was pleasantly surprised by the exhibit. I was really skeptical of the show as an activist, queer woman and woman of color, she said. Theres a really pervasive and unhelpful equation of womens rights with often exclusively pink and, by association, white vaginas, in a way that is really trivializing and exclusionary.

Despite outraging some trolls, the team says they have been pleasantly surprised by the Vagina Museums reception. Their biggest challenges are on the internet, where their content is often censored for violating community guidelines.

Its not a human problem as much as it is an issue with algorithms, which are set to assume anything with the world vagina in it is adult content or porn, said Zoe Williams, the museums development and marketing manager. Our emails go to spam and our online ads get rejected, and its all because of stigma, Ms. Schechter added. Weve had to rely on organic reach.

My most pressing memory of the visit is not the information gleaned, but rather how comfortable I felt in the space. Its evident the Vagina Museum is striving to make male, transgender and intersex visitors feel just as welcome and included. The word woman" is used sparingly in wall text, and Muff Busters eagerly states that a vagina does not a woman make. One of its central messages is that dismantling gynecological taboos is not a gendered issue.

This is everyones dialogue, Ms. Creed said. By segregating the issue, we only perpetuate it.

There Is a Vagina Museum in London - The New York Times

Season 16 ofGreys Anatomyis proving to be just what fans were asking for. Meredith Greys (Ellen Pompeo) half-sister,Maggie(Kelly McCreary), realizes that her great love is surgerynot Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams). Fans hate her with Jackson, so they rejoiced over that break-up.

Viewers are predicting a new storyline for Maggie that will give her character the depth they are looking for. Lets take a look at why fans think Maggie is going to follow her father,Richard Webber(James Pickens, Jr.), down the road to alcoholism.

Richard Webbers storyline this season is circling alcoholism. An old friend of his from Alcoholics AnonymousGemma (Jasmine Guy) is back in his life. She now works at the same hospital as him, Pac North, and is causing issues between him and Catherine Avery (Debbie Allen).

Gemmas AA sponsor recently passed away, and Richard supported Gemma in her loss. Now, Richards niece, Sabie, tragically died after reappearing in his lifeGemma is there for him.

Maggie is going to become an alcoholic like Richard was, wrote onefan on Reddit, and he will come to take care of her; he will be her mentor.

Fans are confident that if Maggie becomes an alcoholic, Richard will help her recover. Showrunner, Krista Vernoff already alluded to a significant episode for Richard, so this could be it.

We have big episode for him this season, Vernofftold TVLine. I dont feel like hes quite been given his due.

With alcoholism as a focal point of the show this season, it is highly plausible that Richard helps Maggie after she hits rock bottom. This storyline could lead to the massive episode for Richard.

With all of the exciting things that happened in the latest episodeNovember 14, 2019 of Greys Anatomy, some fans may have missed an essential detail about Maggie.

The woman is binge drinking in the middle of the day at a hotel bar. We know there often is a lot of drinking on the show. These surgeons deal with a lot of stress daily, so its not surprising we see them at a bar after work.

However, Maggies drinking looks like more than just a few after-work drinks. She is already drunk when Jackson helps her home. Instead of stopping, she continues drinking when she arrives home.

After Jackson almost kisses her, she throws him out and screams that she never wants to see him again. Although that was probably a normal response to a run-in with an ex-boyfriend, it could imply more.

Exhibiting signs of irritability and extreme mood swings are a common sign of alcoholism, according to theAlcohol Rehab Guide.

I think she could become an alcoholic, wrote one Redditor. It runs in the family. Richard is a recovering alcoholic, and Maggie is his daughter.

Now that would be a good plot for Maggie, another fan replied. So much more interesting than her relationship drama.

What got me the most in this episode was seeing a twinge of darkness in Maggie, added another Reddit user, which, for character development, has great potential.

Alcoholism can be an inherited marker/trait, another fan wrote. It could bring Maggie and Richard closer, and like you said, give Maggie a storyline.

It sounds like most fans agree that Maggie continues to drink too much and that Richard comes to her rescue. Find out what happens next on Greys Anatomy on Thursday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
