We study the unwheeled rational Kontsevich integral of torus knots. We give a precise formula for these invariants up to loop degree 3 and show that they appear as colorings of simple diagrams. We show that they behave under cyclic branched coverings in a very simple way. Our proof is combinatorial: it uses the results of Wheels and Wheelings and new decorations of diagrams.

Attention is drawn to a particularly dangerous party activity. Balloons filled with lighter gas so as to float are used for party decorations. A case of hand burn caused by accidentally lighting such a balloon with a cigarette is reported. The method is strongly advised against, it is a much better idea to use helium for such purposes.

PerspectiveS allows for dynamic behavior layering in the Squeak environment. Inspired by PIE and based on AspectS, PerspectiveS coordinates contextawareness of a set of aspects, and so allows to decorate a system with context-dependent behavior, without requiring developers of the base system to be aware of potential decorations. The paper illustrates PerspectiveS and its application to dynamic...
