It's really sad how I have stopped posting any updates to nuff-respec.com. The site used to get tremendous traffic and ranked really high on google. Now it's a shadow of its former self. The current iteration of the site was done in February 2008, that's right, 2008.
etc... you name it, there is some excuse.
Almost 5 years later. I wanted a new site, and I wanted it to be modern, and I wanted to learn. People seem to always default to Wordpress, but personally not a fan, and it's overkill for what I wanted. Ever since I saw the kickstarter for Ghost I wanted to try it out.
Back in July, I researched using my hosting provider Dreamhost which I have used since 2004, using a handy little how to install ghost on dreamhost write up. God awful experience!! I have had Dreamhost since 2004, and their control panel has not been updated since what seems like the 1900s. To top it all off, the VPS cost $15 a month for non SSD (they seem to have SSD now). Scarred from experience, I reverted the VPS account to normal account, and still no posts.
I knew I didn't want a hosted solution, why pay monthly for something I can host myself.
Fast forward to now and fully recovered from the scarring. I found Digital Ocean (Simple cloud hosting, built for developers). Not only did it offer a 1-click install of the ghost, but it took 5 minutes from start to finish, and cost only $5/month. What a deal! The site is modern, and things just seem to be where they should. On top of it the community is really great. Be warned, Digital Ocean is not easy for anyone (myself included) who has used more traditional hosting. It's bare bones... no email, no ftp, no anything. Still the learning and frustrations through it has taught me allot.
Not sure if I will fall into the realms of silence again, but here is to hoping. | 2019-04-21T20:58:53 | http://dbulli.com/dbulli-launched/ |
Sometimes the unexpected is even more fun than the best-laid plans. Iris, her family, the neighbors, and dog take a road trip to the lake. But first, the cars break down. Then they get lost. And when they finally arrive at the lake, they see a NO DOGS ALLOWED sign. What to do? Iris's family's make-do attitude saves the day, for as they go about their beach activities while trying to figure out what to do with the dog, each takes a turn taking care of the dog. Soon the day is over, and the dog has had the best time of all -- the beach had been brought to him.

These look Normal but are Gimmicked! Hand them to a spectator to cut a piece of rope - THEY WON’T OPEN!! Take the scissors back, open them, then hand them back to the spectator. Now, with the scissors open, BUT THEY WON’T CLOSE!! Act exasperated - grab the scissors back and demonstrate how they work by opening and closing them rapidly - even cut rope with them. Hand them back to the spectator again and they won’t open again! These scissors are expertly crafted with a hidden mechanism - the quality is outstanding. The mechanism is absolutely invisible and undetectable even for the person that has the scissors in their hands! A must for your next cut and restored rope or any routine you can squeeze in this marvelous gag. | 2019-04-24T02:25:10 | https://www.madhattermagicshop.com/magicshop/product_info.php?products_id=1570 |

Smart casual. It is unintentionally informal, but casual. It is creative and oozes effortless sophistication.
Smart casual is defined as informal attire, yet neat and classic. It might sound quite confusing, but we could say that it is a form of “being well-dressed in a casual style”. The truth is that smart casual has not as strict rules as other dress codes (for example Black Tie is quite unmistakable), but if you follow some simple guidelines you can be pretty much creative with your smart casual outfit.
The key to a rocking smart casual attire is to understand the context, the location and the type of the event. For example, if you need to attend a birthday party in a garden, you would choose a different outfit than if you needed to attend a business event at a fancy hotel. Sometimes, the occasion requires to wear a more casual outfit, other times a smarter one. There is a rule which says that “It’s better to be overdressed than underdressed” and has become classic fashion wisdom. Smart casual is where comfort and elegance meet, so garments have to be in harmony to achieve an appealing result.
A well-tailored – fitted blazer or jacket is a safe bet. Regarding the color, you could choose something neutral, which is versatile and can be used in many looks. The fabric should be nor too formal, neither too casual. Something like cotton/linen in the warmer months could be a nice option.
For my smart casual outfit I opted for an unconstructed grey linen tweed jacket, made of Loro Piana fabric, that gave an elegant and sharp touch to my looks.
Treading the line between formal and relaxed perfectly, a crisp well-tailored solid-color shirt is essential to a smart casual outfit. Of course, it is not your only choice as patterned shirts (for example stripped) can bring personality to any outfit, but can only be safely combined with classic solid-color garments.
A T-shirt, most of the time, is not smart casual. The reason is that if you need to take the jacket off, the formal hue of your outfit will be lost and your look will appear casual. Pairing a T-shirt with a blazer is always an option, but you will have to play the cards carefully. Daring pieces with graphics or logos should not be worn with a smart casual outfit. A solid-color quality T-shirt would be fine.
Regarding the trousers, you can choose among chinos, denim jeans or tailored pants. Well fitted, unwrinkled and neutral chinos are a quite elegant option. If you choose to wear denim jeans you should better keep them dark, fitted and sophisticated.
For my smart casual outfit, I opted for a pair of 21 micron VBC cool wool grey trousers, a piece that complemented my outfit perfectly.
Shoes play an important factor when trying to dress up or dress down an outfit. The key for looking sharp in smart casual is balance, so a pair of shoes that it is nor too formal, neither too casual is a perfect fit.
A pair of fringed tasseled loafers, like the ones I chose today for my smart casual look, is a stylish, versatile and sophisticated option. From casual looks to suits and blazers, loafers are always stylish. You can go from classic colors for a more gentle look, to bolder colors or patterns for a style statement. It’s up to you.
And when it comes to loafers, there is always the question: To wear socks or not? There is a huge debate about if one should wear socks or not with a pair of loafers. The rule says that you shouldn’t. But, rules are meant to be broken. You could wear socks that match your trousers for a safe result, or go the extra mile with a pair of colored socks contrasting your outfit.
Neckties and bow-ties are not considered to be smart casual. Alternatively, you should use a patterned pocket square to embellish your outfit. Moreover, a beautiful watch sporting a leather strap would be a perfect addition to complete your smart casual outfit! | 2019-04-24T06:30:49 | https://www.itsamansclass.com/dress-code-smart-casual/ |
This beaming summer day was reserved for a tree planting event hosted by non-profit organizations Forterra and the International Rescue Committee who are both committed to developing community gardens in South Seattle that are open for anyone to use, especially local refugee families. I've had the honor of photographing this garden in Kent throughout the process; documenting and admiring a diverse group coming together to build, plant and create community in unison with nature. The first image, two hands from different cultures move a young plant from one plot of the garden to the other, they gently carried this young plant together down the garden path and into the soil. | 2019-04-21T18:10:23 | https://hannahletinich.myportfolio.com/refugee-garden-planting-kent-washington |

Meat pies are like a national dish in Australia and New Zealand.
YUS! Quite happy to see you’ve visited the market in my home town during your South Island travels.
We’ve had a few meat pies in NZ, mostly out of convenience, but I’m bummed at not getting to try any of these gourmet pies, like venison and red wine or moroccan tagine. I snapped this pic at around 7 or 8am, when we arrived at the farmer’s market after our week of wwoofing.
They weren’t plastic either—they were actual pies that they cut in half for every Saturday Market. | 2019-04-22T16:55:06 | https://justinsomnia.org/2010/11/meat-pies-cutaway-literally/ |
Museum curators and researchers who need to view historical artefacts or works of art in museums and galleries such as the Louvre, the Uffizi and Londons National Gallery, should be able to save on their plane and train fares thanks to a unique project being undertaken by computer scientists at the University of Southampton.
The project, known as SCULPTEUR, involves building an advanced database to store three-dimensional representations of museum artefacts and works of art together with information about those objects, so they can be studied online. SCULPTEUR is also developing software capable of retrieving individual 3-D images based on their content.
Dr Kirk Martinez and Dr Paul Lewis, from the Intelligence, Agents and Multimedia Group in the Department of Electronics and Computer Science, and Dr Matthew Addis and colleagues in the Departments IT Innovation Centre, are investigating new ways of storing, retrieving and presenting 3-D models, image sequences and video recordings of artefacts along with some 2-D images and written information.
In a content-based retrieval system you can use visual features such as the distributions of the colours or the textures in the images. You can present an image as a query and say "find me more images like this one".
Around 2 million of the 3 million Euro project budget comes from the European Union, with the University receiving 800,000 Euros over three years. The other technical partners are Giunti Interactive Labs (the project co-ordinator) and Centrica, both from Italy, and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, Paris. The museums involved are the Victoria & Albert and the National Gallery in London, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Louvres scientific centre (Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France) in Paris and the Museum of Cherbourg.
SCULPTEUR builds on image search and retrieval techniques developed for a previous project entitled ARTISTE (www.artisteweb.org), in which both the Intelligence, Agents and Multimedia Group and IT Innovation were technical partners. ARTISTE focused on 2-D images and enabled the use of non-standard, multi-lingual queries across different image collections, for example, the term "papillon" can be used to find images of "butterfly" paintings in both the Louvre and the National Gallery. SCULPTEUR will extend this work using the latest semantic web technology, which may one day simplify all Web searches and which can take account not just of the words used but also the meaning of those words.
The new SCULPTEUR project will continue to develop this facility for the galleries and explore new approaches to multimedia information handling to cope with the increasing use of 3-D models, object-movie matching and semantic descriptions. Sample 3-D queries being considered for the V&A are "find me the missing part of this pot" or "find me objects of similar size, shape and colour to this one". These certainly provide a challenge to the team of researchers! | 2019-04-23T09:03:10 | https://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/communication-media/report-15341.html |
Eagle Creek Apartments Indianapolis How To Sell Your Apartment, One of the easiest items to sell at this time is really a small property.

The Foundation For Tomorrow envisions a world in which all children contribute to society as active and empowered citizens, free of exclusion, disadvantage, and vulnerability. We believe that offering opportunity to the future generation gives hope for a better tomorrow for us all.
As many of you already know, TFFT is working toward building an innovative, interactive Learning Centre, the first of its kind in Tanzania. TFFT’s new state of the art Learning Centre will broaden our impact, enrich the experience of TFFT Scholars, and offer valuable educational opportunities for thousands in need. To learn more about how this idea began and receive a more broad overview, see our full brochure!
Over the next few weeks, we want to share a more in-depth look at specific parts of the Learning Centre. There are so many working parts that are going into creating a facility that will not only provide for our scholars, but for their families and community members. While this building will be a place of learning, TFFT also hopes it will be a facility that children and adults alike can enjoy themselves and have fun!
One way we hope to do this is by including innovative elements that encourage children to interact with one another and the physical space. We have been inspired by other similar state of the art facilities like ImaginOn in Charlotte, NC and the Exploratorium in San Francisco, CA. Textures, colors, shapes, and interactive pieces can be found all over these learning centers and they engage children in a fun, fresh way that keeps their attention while helping them learn.
What differentiates The Learning Centre from other similar facilities is the holistically sustainable nature of the structure itself. The building will be a science project in and of itself. It can be used as a tool for students and the public alike to ask questions, think deeper and understand how we all contribute to the betterment of the world. One way we plan to do this is by teaching sustainability through the visible conservation of resources throughout the space. Humanity is increasingly living beyond our means. We currently consume 50% more natural resources than the Earth’s ecosystem can replenish. As the warmer weather arrives here in the US and we spend more time outside, it becomes harder to ignore the impact humans have on our planet.
The One Planet Living (OPL) Initiative is structured around 10 principles of sustainability and aims to demonstrate that living sustainably is possible, affordable, and desirable. TFFT will use the OPL framework to help us work within our fair share of our planet’s resources. The sustainability piece of the Learning Centre will aid the building in not only being a place of education, but allow the physical space itself to be a learning tool.
Zero Carbon: Avoid human-induced build up of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Zero Waste: Limit discarding products that create disposal problems and squander valuable resources.
Sustainable Transportation: Travel by car and airplane is contributing to climate change, air and noise pollution, and congestion.
Local and Sustainable Materials: Resource exploitation increases environmental damage and reduces benefits to local community.
Use local, reclaimed, renewable, and recyclable materials while building from the ground up.
Local and Sustainable Food: Industrial agriculture produces food of uncertain quality, harms local ecosystems, and may have high transport impacts.
TFFT intends to not only utilize food from local farmers but also promote the value of local products as a whole.
Sustainable Water: Local supplies of freshwater are often insufficient to meet human needs due to pollution, disruption of hydrological cycles, and depletion.
Land Use and Wildlife: While the Learning Centre will be in a more urban setting, we will ensure there is biodiversity in the natural area we have our building on.
Culture and Community: Local cultural heritage is being lost throughout the world due to globalization, resulting in loss of local identity and knowledge.
Equity and Local Economy: Some in the industrialized world live in relative poverty, while many in the developing world cannot meet their basic needs from what they produce or sell.
Health and Happiness: Rising wealth and greater health and happiness increasingly diverge, raising questions about the true basis of well-being and contentment.
This center will be the first of its kind in Tanzania and will serve as a beacon of hope, accessible to all citizens and TFFT scholars. Through the Centre, TFFT hopes to improve our existing programs, engage the entire community, and ignite lifelong learners. The need for quality education in Tanzania is more clear and urgent than ever, and systemic change must start at the community level. We hope this new endeavor will foster healthy and productive communities of people who represent a positive future for their nation and hope for our world.

This quote more than perhaps any other in this 400 page tome summarizes in a nutshell what the book Food Politics is all about. It analyzes every aspect of the food industry from its marketing practices to new product development to regulation of supplements. It is a brilliant, eye opening work, which despite the fact that it was published in 2003 is as relevent if not more so today when corporate donations are even more inextricably tied to the works of Congress and the election of candidates for office.
One of the central issues at hand in the politics of food is the conflict of interest between freedom and regulation. According to Nestle, what we perceive to be our freedom to choose what we put into our bodies is not actually a result of democracy but rather a product of brilliant marketing which subliminally if not blatantly drives our decisions about consumption. The primary target of this marketing tends to be the most economically deprived and even more heinously those who cannot make sound decisions for themselves, our children.
It’s no secret that there is an obesity epidemic in this country. Statistics about current childhood obesity and estimates of the levels of obesity in the coming decades are on the news constantly. We are in a serious health crisis in this country that will not only affect our individual rights, but the economics of our future. Individuals who are dying of diseases directly attributable to diet are a burden on society and particularly in the younger set will create a serious gap in manpower in the not so distant future. For example, many of today’s kids will not be able to pass a fitness test necessary to serve in our armed forces. If there was a need to build an army and nobody is fit enough to serve our national security is in serious trouble.
Today more than ever, we have a situation where we are concerned with economic growth. Let’s face it, all businesses are alive to make a profit. That’s what business is all about. But, at what point does responsibility to society as a whole come into the picture? I’m not talking about socialism, I’m talking about the perpetuation of society and the golden rule. Should businesses be allowed to profit on the backs of those who are becoming ill and dying from what they produce? At what point does life mean more than money? It’s something we all have to ask ourselves when we step into the voting booth. Food corporations and agribusiness lobbyists are amongst the largest in the country and they are wooing candidates on both sides of the aisle.
Awareness of health and nutrition is out there and more and more people are subscribing to the tenets of farm to table and sustainability. But this represents a very small portion of our food system. While government makes it easier for corporations to produce frankenfoods with outrageous health proclamations by relaxing their regulations, it makes it increasingly difficult for small family farms to grow and sell real natural food to you and me. That’s no mistake. That is by design.
So what can you or I do about it? Money talks. Where you choose to spend your dollar speaks volumes. Your purchasing habits may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but if everyone were to act with their dollars that would send a message to these corporations where it counts, in their pocketbooks. Ultimately we have to take back control of our lives by choosing wisely and voting wisely because what is happening is not ok. Become your own advocate. And next time you are in the grocery store and deciding upon the liter bottle of sweetened cola, pass it by and purchase some juicy naturally sweet fruit instead. Your body will thank you. | 2019-04-22T12:28:04 | https://www.chestnut-inn.com/food-politics-big-business-versus-the-future/ |

At the Krebs Law Firm, we’ll never lose a case due to lack of preparation and effort. Because of the work we put into each case, we are selective in choosing our clients. There is nothing better than winning a case for a client when we are confident they deserve those benefits. It’s very rewarding to know that we are literally providing benefits that can save their life when you consider the medical care available to Social Security disability recipients.
Our main objective is getting to the heart of the issue. Going through hundreds of pages of medical records and uncovering the facts that are going to resonate with a judge to help win your case. One thing that makes our law firm different is that we actually write briefs for almost all our cases. Writing these briefs help our office prepare for the hearing by making certain we have reviewed the medical records extensively. This helps uncover the important details that can be used to illustrate our client’s problems and how it affects their ability to work. We let you have a copy of your brief so you can see the work we’ve done to prepare for your case.
At The Krebs Law Firm, we place a heavy emphasis on client hearing preparation. We work through every possible question we can think of that the client will hear from the judge. Our clients tell us they feel better prepared heading into the courtroom by practicing their hearing. We don’t delegate this task to someone else in the office unlike some of our clients who have come to us after being represented by someone else and telling us they met their attorney for the first time moments before walking into their hearing.
This hearing preparation not only prepares you for what to expect, but also how to answer. Many people are more reserved and while being the strong silent type might be admirable in the workplace, it can be a disaster when trying to convince the judge your problems are disabling. Discussing these complicated issues can be difficult initially, so talking through your problems multiple times can help you properly express yourself in the heat of the moment.
A lot of scrutiny is given to the paperwork in a case, so our attorneys personally review your records so we can be on the lookout for things that we know a particular judge will focus on and help our clients prepare accordingly.
We do our homework to prepare for your case and when you choose your attorney, you also need to do your homework and choose wisely. Cases that are lost initially can be appealed and overturned, but it’s much more difficult. So choose a law firm that works hard for you and has you prepared for your case to put the odds in your favor as much as possible.
A Real, Live Face-to-Face Meeting. We’ll meet face-to-face to discuss the specific details of your accident or injury. You won’t be filling out a web-based data entry form, sending an email, sitting on hold waiting for a real human to answer – you and I will sit down in a room and talk things through. We’ll get to know each other the old-fashioned way – where we can share and learn from each other.
A Preliminary Documentation Review. I’ll conduct a preliminary review of any supporting documentation you have that’s relevant to the accident or situation – this includes photographs, accident reports, police investigation notes, citations, and any witness statements. In addition, I’ll review information about your accident, injury or disability, which could include, doctor’s notes, emergency room notes, photographs, X-Ray results and MRI results. In addition, if you were injured in an accident, I’ll check to see how your automobile insurance and health insurance factors into your current and potential future situation. | 2019-04-25T18:44:26 | https://krebslawoffice.com/why-hire-us-missouri-and-arkansas-best-social-security-disability-attorney-at-law/ |
There is a fee of $10 charged to some people convicted of crimes in Idaho, which is directed toward the law enforcement system. House Bill 26, which was up on the House floor late Tuesday morning, proposed to raise that amount (paid by lawbreakers) by $1.50, the added amounted to be used for law enforcement training. Carried by a Republican, the bill drew support on the floor and sounded routine and uncontroversial.
It failed, on a 31-34 vote - a vote which seems emblematic of where the Idaho legislature possibly, and the Idaho House likely, stands on the matter of taxes, fees and budgets: This is a session for cutting, period. Cutting, slicing, slashing. Anything, however minor and however appealing, that adds income in any way, is verboten. Anyt other response could send a message that revenue raisers might be considered, and what looks like a majority in the House doesn't want that anywhere near the table.
That's the thread linking HB 26 with several bigger measures in the last couple of week - a cigarette tax bill and an interstate sales tax bill - which were killed off (at least for now) by leadership in the House. Not that this is necessarily a dictate from House Republican leadership; a lot of the House Republican caucus clearly feels the same way.
The big public turnout for two budget committee hearings, on education and on health and welfare issues, undoubtedly had some impact on legislators, and may have given some program advocates encouragement that their side of the picture will be heard. But as HB 26 suggests, don't count on it. At least not yet, and maybe not this session.
If the budget and tax picture aren't largely slam dunked by early April (and opinions are mixed about whether they will be), there could be some re-thinking. But the mod right now is: Cut, cut and cut. | 2019-04-19T14:19:50 | http://www.ridenbaugh.com/index.php/2011/02/02/ |

A steady flow of air helps keep the rate of the vibrato steady. They may force high notes in their chest voice because when they attempt singing in their head voice the tone is thin and colorless.
Technique really is a big element. Vibrato is the normal undulation of pitch when you sing. There's something about them, other than possibly their older-than-me age, that makes them sound very organic and not forced.
Being in an all-male choir at that age can give the singer comfort because he knows that the rest of the guys are going through the same thing. This stage is generally reached between the ages of 11 and 13, usually when the first signs of physical maturation are seen.

As the night progressed. We just sort of wandered around aimlessly. So happy to have rubber roots for sloshing around in. Got to play drums a wee bit with some other great Katz. Wish I could remember names, but everyone is so friendly and they pile up quick! Friday Night was already shaped into a fantastic evening! Yet, everyone I spoke to said..... "Just wait for Saturday".
My feet had enough for a bit and needed rest. Trying to warm up the freezing ground beneath our tent was not so much fun, but we have the solution for next year!...... Hammocks!!!!! Wonder why in all these years of camping, I've never heard much about them. They're not really embraced as it should for a more suitable way of sleeping in the chill. Harvest has opened our eyes to so many inspirational ways.
Saturday Morning Arrives! Bust out the tent to see a beautiful hazy morning. Thought it was supposed to rain, according weather reports. With patches of blue sky and my great distrust for what news says though. I think everyone collectively focusing on the weather made it perfect!
Music starts to turn up as the early evening rolls in. Kim and I didn't have much clue about who was playing when or where because we don't have "smrt" phones and no time slots we're posted anywhere we had looked. I'm sure they we're around somewhere and we could have asked. It was fun keeping everything sort of a surprise though! Only added to the mysticism. Just wish I had known more about the live stage!!!! Next year though.
Not a whole lot can be said to really do Saturday full justice. The sky was perfectly clear and I've never seen the stars so bright. Northern Lights flickering beams of green and purple into the night. AMAZING Art of all kinds, everywhere you go. Everyone in awesome costumes.... which I will be too next time!
WOW!!!! So there it was and it all felt like a really sweet dream. Many examples of positive energy coming together as Community and working towards making sure everyone is having a great and safe time. Karma was all around us in ways you just had to experience for belief. Some people might even ask... how is this music festival different from any other?.... Simple! How I see it...Harvest does not subscribe to any of the big commercialization that a lot of major events do. Keeping focused on those of us who appreciate more than that. Independent, like minded People who want to work together towards building stronger and deeper connection with this giant puzzle we're all a piece of.
Of course Life is not always a party full of lazers and Northern Lights.... but! principles of Love & Community stay the same. How we all play our parts to strengthen them beyond the forced perceptions of what often misleads our paths.
Sunday Morning was probably my favourite part of the weekend. We we're so busy running back and forth! My legs felt like 1000lb spaghetti noodles. Resting on a hill outside the pyramid was exactly what was in order. It was so chill.... didn't snap many pics, but had a chance to rock a quick doodle.... it didn't turn out that well. So I won't post it, hahaha.
Last! but, surely not least.... although I wish it didn't have to be. The tour back! We still received lots of beautiful scenery to perfectly cap off an amazing weekend. With windows down and tunes up! We took off into the sunset and started planning already for next year!!!!!!!!!
Especially for reading and I hope you enjoyed my blabby blog, haha. Very moved by this festival that I'm now proud to call tradition and needed to share the photos.
ps... if there is any particular photos you're interested in, you can reach me at my email [email protected]. or you can visit the online store.
Welcome Friends! Thanks for visiting my Art site. I'm currently putting together all my Harvest photos onto the online store. So hang tight! Your patience is greatly appreciated as I go threw and try to post them up properly.
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, or feedback and I will get back as soon as possible.
I'm always amazed by all the Beauty that Nature has to offer. Nothing strikes me more than seeing light play through trees, ever changing colour combinations, process of growth and decay..... water flowing and staring deep into it!!!
Just as much, I Love connecting with others who feel the same and still hold onto utmost appreciation for the most important things in this experience we call Life...... Positively connecting with our Planet and who we truly are as beings of Love and Light.
Harvest Festival for me was the most perfect gathering that Kim and I have ever been too for such important celebration of the Spirit!
However! Months ago, it was decided to only focus on going to Harvest for the 1st time and so incredibly happy we did!!!
We took a loooong tour along the #4 Highway.. Stopping at a few gorgeous spots, called Hoggs and Eugenia Falls. Everything was already pointing to a lovely adventure!
Rain was lightly falling, it didn't matter though because as soon as we pulled onto Midlothian Road. It all stopped!! and the clouds broke slighty for the first time to let us know it would soon be over.
After we had gone threw the fairly quick moving line up of cars and lugged all of our STUFF to our decided spot. I don't think we could have chose a better view for waking up too.... or, still being awake with, hahaha.
Took a wee bit to get familiarized with the grounds and where everything is. By far, this is the MOST Beautiful venue I've even been to for an event. Honestly, I've been to BPM fest in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico..... and while dancing at taco restaurants in the street is super fun...... that has NOTHING on Harvest.
Anyway! FOCUS! So yah... the Artistic property is amaaaaaaazing! Screaming Heads on Friday night we're so surreal and to hear Reggae music playing!!!!!! I'm all about the roots riddims in my studio. For me, I feel there is NO other genre with such powerful enlightenment and positive messages..... Soul Food.
Well, this concludes part.1 of our amazing Harvest adventure blog. Thank You so much for reading and I hope it's sparked a few memories to relate with. This is actually only a small fraction of my photos from this evening and I'm currently in the process of setting up a section in my store for making the entire series available for a small appreciation. No watermark and there will also be the option to have them printed on 11x14 high quality paper and shipped in protective packaging to where ever you like!
Part. 2 in the works as I currently type.... wait a minute, can't type both at once! | 2019-04-23T18:55:45 | https://www.shanewilcoxartist.com/blog-till-2015/archives/09-2015 |
We love breakfast! Not only is breakfast the most important meal of the day, but it can be easy and delicious all in one shot.
On nights when you know a hectic morning is ahead, prepare the dish all the way until baking and put it in the frig. The next morning pop in the oven for about 30 minutes and mix the syrup together. Almost instant breakfast! The smell wafts throughout the house enticing everyone down to the table.
This power packed french toast starts with any healthy brown bread. Remember you want bread with at least 3 grams of fiber / slice. If you use organic omega fatty acid rich eggs, you are getting healthy protein and a small amount of omegas. Finally, use plenty of our spice of the week, cinnamon….Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol. It can reduce the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells as well.
You can make this French toast gluten free by just substituting your favorite gluten free bread instead of whole wheat! And shake it up sometimes – you can cut the bread in cubes instead of slices and place it in ramekins for “personal” French toasts like the ones in the picture above!
In a medium sized bowl, combine the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and ground cinnamon. Beat to blend and then pour over the bread. Let soak until all the egg mixture is absorbed, turning the bread after about 10 minutes. Bake in your preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the bread and bake for about 10 more minutes or until golden brown. Serve with Maple Cinnamon Syrup.
Combine Maple Syrup and Ground Cinnamon in a heavy, small saucepan. Bring the Syrup to a Simmer. Remove from the heat, place the Baked French Toast on heated plates, top with the Warm Maple Cinnamon Syrup and serve. | 2019-04-24T14:18:18 | http://www.livingandeatingwell.com/spicy-tuesday-cinnamon-baked-maple-and-cinnamon-french-toast/ |
Inefficient and unsafe lights are not only dangerous for human health, but for the health of the Earth as well. Greenhouse-gas emissions produced by unsafe light sources (including biofuels, disposable batteries, kerosene, and propane) are roughly equivalent to the emissions from 30 million American cars. Refugees and communities displaced by natural disasters are more likely to rely on kerosene and biofuels, endangering their own health and the health of their local environment.
When solar lights and phone chargers are deployed after disasters to families who are displaced, they offer an alternative to these harmful alternatives. Solar-powered lighting requires no biofuel and produces no fumes and no CO2 during use. Solar is a naturally renewable energy, and relying on it for basic energy needs can improve environmental as well as household air quality—improving air quality for individuals and the global community.
Deforestation is another worrisome environmental outcome of energy poverty around the world. In communities without electrical access, families often depend on wood gathered or harvested from surrounding areas in order to light, heat, and cook in their homes or shelters. This dependence on fuelwood can be particularly detrimental in refugee and displaced person camps, where in some cases there is not viable wood found within 15km from the camps. Solar power can reduce dependence on fuelwood and therefore reduce the environmental cost to areas with refugee or displaced person camps.
When families have access to solar lanterns and chargers, they can reduce the time needed to gather fuelwood, while also reducing the environmental impact of displacement. Communities and their surrounding environments are more able to recover when renewable solar energy is an accessible resource for them.
Safe and clean lighting is a key step towards meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. One of these goals is to ensure universal access to clean household energy by 2030. Improving household energy is an important step towards reducing the production of polluting air contaminants and curbing atmospheric warming. Solar lighting systems help alleviate costs to human health, resources, and ecosystems incurred by inefficient fuels often used in low- and middle-income countries.
It's a way to contribute to a brighter future for communities and their local environments.

Several Olympic athletes have been spotted (literally) with round purple or red marks. These are telltale signs of cupping therapy, a useful recovery regimen for athletes such as swimmers to the USA track and field team. Cupping is an effective therapy and regularly used at the clinic as either a sole treatment or alongside acupuncture and massage techniques to aid soft tissue release and joint mobility.
Cupping involves negative pressure and suction, rather than the tissue compression you have during a massage. It creates a vacuum and lifts the skin up in that space and therefore creates a lift and release of the soft tissue. Utilising advanced bodywork techniques such as myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, acupressure and acupuncture, cupping can instantly release soft tissue; drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions, lift connective tissue and bring blood flow to stagnant skin and muscles. Using solely the compression of manual massage, these kinds of results are simply not possible.
Not at all! The strong vacuum will mimic the rolling action of a deep tissue massage without any discomfort. It is a very relaxing treatment.
Depending on how long you leave the cup on a particular area, you get an infusion of fluid in that region. This is why you may have seen marks on some of the Olympic athletes, as there is an increase in blood flow or qi to the area. Athletes physically demand a lot from their body and so someone with a greater level of soft tissue trauma or a particular injury will have deeper discoloration around that area.
The strength of the vacuum in the cups can be controlled from light to a much deeper pressure. This helps to limit any discoloration. It is thought to affect tissues up to four inches deep from the external skin. If you are worried about getting any bruising your practitioner will be able to adjust your treatment so that there is minimal to no bruising at all. However the greater the tissue trauma or blockage in the area the more lightly there will be some form of discoloration. Bruising tends to occur only on the site of injury for example the shoulder joint in a rotator cuff injury rather than all over the shoulder. This bruising is known as qi stagnation, the goal with cupping is to unblock this stagnation i.e. loosen the soft tissue.
Flash cupping – this is where a few cups are placed one after the other in a sequence over an area and removed quickly. This process is repeated a few times over areas such the back, chest, legs. It is most commonly used for soft tissue release as well as coughs and colds. This feels like a light tugging sensation in the area.
Sliding cupping – Massage oil is placed over the affected area and once a vacuum is created the cup is slid over the area or channel. This technique is useful as it covers a large area such as the back or legs and feels like a deep tissue massage.
Sports injuries – many professional athletes incorporate massage cupping into their training to enhance their overall performance, agility and ability to recover from their sport.
Pain relief and stress reduction – Chinese cupping feels like a relaxing deep tissue massage.
is regularly used for congestion. In fact, respiratory conditions are one of the most common maladies that cupping is used to relieve. | 2019-04-18T22:52:19 | https://www.healthpointclinic.co.uk/what-we-do/massage-treatments/chinese-cupping/ |

Wampum belt given to William Penn at the "Great Treaty" in 1682.
Wampum is a string of shell beads often woven into belts and formerly used for ceremonial and treaty purposes by some American indigenous people. A contraction of the Algonquian word "wampumpeage" (wom-pom-pe-ak) or "white shell beads," wampum beads were made from the North Atlantic channeled whelk (Busycotypus canaliculatus) shell. Wampum is often confused with sewant, a similar artifact made from the Western North Atlantic hard-shelled clam. Among Europeans, the term wampum was used to refer to both forms of the work.
Wampum belts were exchanged as a form of treaty between tribes. Wampum was also used for engagement, marriage, and betrothal agreements, as well as for religious and condolence ceremonies. The shell beads symbolized internal energies of peace, harmony, and contentment. These belts were often interpreted by a man designated as a "wampum keeper," who stored his people's wampum and presented it when necessary as a medium of exchange.
Not the same as "money," the weaving patterns of colored beads expressed in wampum and sewant belts were a means of denoting different ideas according to an accepted system of wampum language. European colonists in North America, however, often used wampum or sewant beads as money since coinage was scarce.
The use of wampum declined as treaties with the Native Americans were broken, making it irrelevant for them to be recorded in wampum. Following a demoralizing period in the history of Native Americans, the demand for wampum in Native religious rites has been revived. Today, wampum housed in museums is being slowly restored back to its original role in Native American life.
Traditionally, the white wampum beads come from the inner spiral of the whelk, the North Atlantic knobbie shell. Sewant refers to the black or dark-purple shell bead from the clam shell of the western North Atlantic Ocean. Sewant or suckauhock was often confused for wampum by Europeans, and the term wampum came into general use to refer to various beads and bead-work belts.

Wampum beads are traditionally made by rounding small pieces of the shells of whelks, then piercing them with a hole before stringing them. The terms for the white and black beads are wampi (white) and saki (black).
One use of wampum belts was as a memory aid in oral tradition. The belts were also used as badges of office or ceremonial devices of an indigenous culture such as the Iroquois. Perhaps because of its origin as a memory aid, loose beads were not considered to be high in value to the native peoples. A typical large belt of six feet in length might contain 6000 beads or more. Such a belt would be considered not only valuable, but sacred, because it contained so many memories.
With stone tools, the process of producing wampum and sewant is labor intensive, and the shells were available only to coastal nations. These factors increased its scarcity and consequent value among the European traders, until the Dutch glutted the market they created with it. Wampum is part of the Coat of Arms of New Brunswick.
In the area of present New York Bay, the clams and whelks used for making wampum are found only along Long Island Sound and Narragansett Bay. The Lenape name for Long Island is "Sewanacky," reflecting its connection to the "black" wampum. By the time of the arrival of the Europeans, the Pequots reputedly used their dominance of tribes around this area to gain control of the sources of the beads.
Native Americans, especially in the Iroquois Confederacy, greatly valued wampum. It was used to call a council, seat council members in the correct order, speak at the council, elect a chief, depose a chief, for an adoption ceremony, during mourning, as records and deeds, as gifts and as ornament. However, it was not a simple means of exchange or money.
When Europeans came to the Americas, they realized the importance of wampum to Native people, but mistook it for money. Soon, they were trading with the native peoples of New England and New York using wampum. Dutch colonists soon began to manufacture their own wampum as a means of exchange.
Wampum was legal tender in all 13 original colonies, and at least as late as 1701 New York was still setting an official rate. White wampum was made from various shells, but the violet/black wampum came only from the purple portion of the quahog clam and was more valuable. Generally the rate of wampum was six white or three black beads for a penny.
In the stories of adventures of early visitors to America who kept track of their expenses, wampum is ubiquitous. For example, when Jasper Dankers and Peter Sluyter came to New York to look for a home for their Dutch church in 1679, they paid to have their baggage brought from the ship to the hotel, customs duties, meals, ferries (including the Brooklyn ferry) and their tailor—all in wampum. Church ministers complained that people were putting broken wampum, undrilled wampum, or imitation wooden wampum into the collection plates.
The Hiawatha belt symbolized the unity of the five tribes. Squares from left to right represented the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca. The line between the figures indicates an alliance. The Iroquois maintain that Hiawatha (not the same person of the Longfellow poem) formed the Iroquois Confederacy and introduced wampum.
Wampum was commonly strung up into "belts," with the contrast between the dark and light beads making patterns. These patterns had definite meanings, and their interpretation was an important task. Usually a man was designated as "wampum keeper," and kept the wampum of his people, bringing it out when required. Belts were also exchanged, often as a form of treaty. If a quarrel arose between two parties who had exchanged belts, the wampum keeper would bring out the appropriate one and, using it as a mnemonic device, recite the terms of the original treaty.
This use of wampum declined since the treaties were often broken, and it did not matter whether they were enshrined in wampum or on paper. Recently, however, native religious rites have been revived that require wampum. Some of the wampum collected and housed in museums is now being repatriated.

Composing Better English For ESL Learners, Creating in any vocabulary is a challenging skill to acquire. As a result, as an ESL pupil you should strategy writing in British thoroughly. In order to create properly, you need to very first possess an understanding of grammatical structures, vocabulary, and tense use. You practice those concepts until you can use them with relative ease. Then you are usually prepared to exercise composing unique materials.
It gives you an abundant evaluation of fundamental constructions.
In Chapter 1 you will have the opportunity to learn or review grammar basics. By checking the Answer Key at the end of this book, you can find the right or illustration answers to the exercises. If you possess an English-speaking friend, you might inquire him or her to check out your function.
If you desire, you can follow your progress by using an extremely simple method. After each exercise, count number every term that you have written-even little words like the, a, and, or but. After that count every error you possess made in spelling, tenses, phrase purchase, missing terms, or any additional potential mistake.
After completing the examine exercises, you will be ready to begin Chapter 2. In this part you will full content with your first terms, and you will use your personal concepts as you compose. | 2019-04-21T11:06:53 | https://www.vocabineer.com/writing-better-English-for-ESL-learners |
On April 29 a webinar was held to connect local and frontline leadership throughout the south, learn about the vision and goals of GSR during 2015, discuss how GSR objectives connect to national and global work, and review various methods of support.
Gulf South Rising (GSR) is a regional movement of coordinated actions and events to highlight the impact of the global climate crisis on the Gulf South region (TX, LA, MS, AL, FL).
Grassroots leaders across the Gulf South are organizing collaborative events and actions around strategic dates in 2015, including the 5th anniversary of the BP Oil Crisis and the 10th anniversary of the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, among other turning points. Frontline communities demand a just transition away from extractive industries and discriminatory and unjust practices that hinder equitable recovery from disaster and impedes the development of sustainable communities.
shifts the regional narrative from resilience to resistance. | 2019-04-25T15:58:08 | http://www.gulfsouthrising.org/frontpage/ |
"Chris Beatrice" wrote: To help us out with suggestions and ideas that will make this game great. Our fans have always played an integral and invaluable role in our games, so please contribute your thoughts!
(1) Thrilled to know you'll be returning walker behavior to the older (non-radial) model - this was a great choice. One of Caesar (C) III's weakest points was the lack of control over walkers that Pharaoh (P) provided with roadblocks. If you model Pharaoh's walker engines for Medieval Mayor (MM), you won't go far wrong.
(2) Warehouse/granary control was ideal in Pharaoh - the player could tweak supply behavior to a fine level of precision but could quickly make large-scale decisions too (e.g., "empty all" versus "empty [x]" and "[allow] up to [y level]" versus "get up to [y level]"). Much more precise in P than in C3. The modular market style of Emperor and Zeus was novel but not, in my view, a particular improvement.
(3) The idea - pioneered in Pharaoh, improved in Cleopatra, and extended in Emperor - of building large-scale "monuments" (e.g., pyramids, temple complexes, the Great Wall etc.) was terrific because the player then had micro and macro challenges - city building was still essential (especially in peaceful campaigns), but there was something else to manage too. Watching the monuments develop was fun, though I very much appreciated Cleopatra's introduction of speed-up bonuses (blessings from the gods, etc. that would facilitate pyramid building). I'm not sure what the MM equivalent should be other than cathedrals - perhaps guild halls, increasingly complex castles, a cloister, chateaus (location appropriate?) - but I certainly hope that there IS an equivalent in MM.
(4) I thought the road system used in the Caesar 1-3, Pharaoh, Zeus, and Emperor games (i.e., on a square grid, capable only of right-angle connections) was adequate. Another user requested hexagonal connectivity; I could see that, I suppose, but I don't think the old system was broken, frankly.
(5) The notion of a large map (continent scale) to denote a user's progress from mission to mission was great fun, though I did like the concept in Emperor of returning to previous cities in later missions. I understand TM has committed to returning to cities to further develop them in MM - that's okay, but please make sure there are LOTS of cities/missions - for my taste 12 is a minimum, and 20-25 (including the 3-5 training missions near the beginning) would be ideal.
I think it would be a poor design decision to include just, say, 3-5 cities that the player simply keeps building and building and building over time. Allowing the player to build so few cities would force him/her to live with any mistakes made early on for a very long time. There's some virtue in that game design philosophy, I suppose - "be careful what you build early on because you'll have to live with it for a long time" - but it could also make the game's early levels feel more like a homework assignment. I like the freedom of knowing that as long as I get through a mission - however well or poorly - I can move on and try something quite different without having to replay and fix a level I botched.
(6) Making housing develop was one of the most exciting parts of learning to play the Impressions games of the city building series. It was a thrill to see the first time a palace appeared in C3 or P, for example. I hope that MM will maintain that policy of restricting necessary luxury goods (wine, say, or silk or spices or pheasant or something) until middle and later levels. It gives the user a sense of accomplishment to see wholly new tiers of housing suddenly appear.
(7) A sandbox mode, a level editor, and the ability (perhaps restricted until after the completion of all campaigns?) to play any level at will are highly desirable, though I would be willing to wait for the level editor until a later release. (Other games have taken that course. We all understand that development resources and time are limited.) Again, look to Caesar 3 for the model here.
(8) As an Apple user since 1987 and a Mac guy since 1991, a Mac OS X version - not just tablet/iOS version - is of great importance to me. Macs have a larger installed base now than ever before, and many, many game studios are profitably releasing Mac OS X games. (See the App Store.) I think a Mac version is essential, and I go so far as to hope for simultaneous releases on WinX and Mac OS. Pretty please?
(9) The peace mission/military mission dichotomy was a good one. I always got more thrill from city building in these games than I did from their military aspects, but I enjoyed having the threat to my cities too. Middle age weaponry and siege tactics should offer you a fertile ground to continue this tradition.
(10) Would it be too much to ask for a better title than "Medieval Mayor"? It sounds like "Sim City in the Middle Ages," which is NOT what I would hope for from a city-building game. A return to the one-word titles of the Impressions era gets my vote. How about "Baron" "Nobility" or just "King"? You guys may have better ideas - please consider something other than "MM" for the final title. It's corny.
Again, thanks for soliciting feedback. I hope the game carries on the great tradition that Impressions created, and if it does, I hope it makes buckets of money for TM.
- There is a rule: Don't change something that is working.
- 2D izometric, Caesar3 / Pharaoh / Zeus / Emperor like style. Same gameplay too. That was the golden era. Any other game that came after that weren't as great. If it must come in 3D.. make sure the scale will be at least the same, then graphic quality should be also good at best. Grid based construction. Altrough some would love to build in 3D style it is just too much.
- Extra large maps for endgame campaign or separate scenarios.
Please, a way to zoom out and see the whole map, or a LOT of it. I loved cotn, but I felt lost on a large map since I could not sort out where in the heck I was.
Hello Thanks you for asking.
Secundo: I Cant wait its release. i wish to get more weekly infos on how it s going on. more often updates.
i ll comeback if i have more ideas.

I would love to have the battle control system used in Caesar II back again. It was dropped in Caesar III because it required the loading of a separate screen for the battle map and that caused problems with a large number of computers back then. I don't think there would be a problem with today's computers.
Je serais ravi d'avoir le système de contrôle de combat utilisé dans Caesar II de retour. Il a été abandonné en Caesar III puisqu'il exigeait le chargement d'un écran séparé pour le plan de bataille et causé des problèmes avec un grand nombre d'ordinateurs à l'époque. Je ne pense pas qu'il y aurait un problème avec les ordinateurs d'aujourd'hui.
On that battle map you had manual control of your various types of cohorts. You could make them change formation, position them before battle, and then direct them on where to move during the battle.
Sur cette carte de la bataille, vous aviez une commande manuelle de vos différents types de cohortes. Vous pourriez leur faire changer de formation, positionnez-les avant la bataille et puis dirigez-les sur où aller pendant la bataille.
As for being able to empty a warehouse of one type of goods or all goods, you simply have to have one warehouse that accepts that type of goods, and then change the slider settings on the orders menu to "zero" on the warehouse you want to empty.
Que pour être capable de vider un entrepôt d'un type de marchandises ou de toutes les marchandises, vous devez simplement avoir un entrepôt qui accepte ce type de marchandises et puis modifiez les paramètres de curseur dans le menu de commandes à "zéro" sur l'entrepôt que vous voulez vide.
You can also mothball a warehouse and the other warehouses should come and empty it, if I recall correctly.
Vous pouvez également mothball un entrepôt et les autres entrepôts devraient venir vider, si je me souviens bien.
We have already been informed the game will not be in 3D.
Nous avons déjà appris que le jeu ne sera pas en 3D.
Did you visit the Medieval Mayor home page? There are links to three articles about the game design that you may want to read. These articles written in English.
Avez-vous visité la page d'accueil de maire médiévale ? Il y a des liens vers trois articles sur la conception du jeu que vous pouvez lire. Ces articles écrits en anglais.
I hope the French translations make sense, I used Microsoft's Bing Translator.
J'espère que les traductions françaises de sens, j'avais l'habitude Bing Translator de Microsoft.
Hi Keith. thx for your reply.
i dont remember alot about Caesar III, i played that so long time ago but yeah i remember that were a button to empty a warehouse or granary, but that button was not back in IV.
Will we be able to turn the camera or not ? and zoom in and out ?
you know , nobody have a 486 or a Pentium200 anymore. Why not use the power of our machines ?
and whats about a map generator ?

Michael, if you visit the Medieval Mayor website, you will see some images of buildings that may appear in the game. They will give you an idea of what they look like.
No details have been released beyond what was mentioned in the three articles that were published online.
I would assume that with machines being more powerful now there will be some extra features that they couldn't do years ago. What that might be we don't know. We don't even know if they plan on such a thing.
I would also assume that we will be able to zoom in and out to a degree, but there is no info on how close or how far away we will be able to get.
Rotating the camera position is also another unknown at this time.
Thx for all your answers.
Just PLEASE don't limit the game to much with the intention of going on tablets. Feel free to make a separate version of it, but let PC be the main console. I still remember the hugely annoying UI for Skyrim. You probably can't make it much better on a console, but for a PC it gotta be one of the worst UI's presented the last decade.
So both for UI and gameplay, possibilities, don't limit yourself because it might go on a tablet, just take out some features if you decide to put it on the tablet at a later time.
Don't forget about the music. IMO, C3 & Pharaoh set the bar very high. To this day, when I hear those pieces of C3, it brings tears of joy to my eyes. What wonderful work it was!
The most uber game of all time would be Medieval Mayor as a Total War mod.
When you double click your Capital City in Total War, it launches Medieval Mayor which you play for 1 season's time.
- If your Capital is every besieged in Total War, its game over anyway.
- Total War has always had kind of lame city management... the weakest link in the best game of all time.
- In Total War, you spend roughly 1/3 of your budget on city improvements.
- Medieval Mayor would primarily need to be the 'cash cow' for funding your empire, as opposed to a 'cash sink' for growing itself.
Hmm... I can see game balance being problematic. Sure would be fun to try.
I can volunteer on weekends to be a C++/C#/ObjC code monkey.
rome II looks gorgeous but its just not 'fun'.
In some ways it feels dumbed down.
and so far its a little lacking.
In CotN, I love the discovery process of balancing linen, jewelry, pottery, etc.
Are you referring to TW: Rome II?
Yep, I loved the old provincial map and battle map. But some computers back then had problems switching between them and crashed or returneda black screen. The only way around it then was to let the game auto-resolve the battle for you....not as much fun for sure. They opted to go with the one screen in Caesar III as a result.
The computers of today should be able to easily handle things like a provincial map and battle map screen.
I'm just guessing that we won't be seeing a return to that feature in MM. It may more closely resemble the game play of Pharaoh, Caesar III, and Zeus. No one other than TM knows for sure and they aren't talking yet.
I have the original TW: Rome. It was fun for a while. The battles were the most interesting parts of that game for me. Unfortunately, the province map in TW:R was rather dull and repetitious. I got bored with it after I conquered 50 provinces. Even with all those under my control, it never seemed like I had enough forces to march into Rome and try to take over.
The battles in TW:R were a more detailed version of those represented in Caesar II. I loved moving my cohorts around attacking and fending off the barbarians hordes. I haven't played TW:R in quite a while since then. I may break it out again one of these days and install it on my new computer.
I haven't heard much about TW: Rome II since I first saw it's announcement and I haven't been following it very closely. I'll have to check it out and see if it is worth picking up.
There are so many Medieval games out there. What do you think the game should focus on? I know some want a castle/knight game, or a culture game. What focus would you like?
What would make the game different and exciting from other Medieval games? | 2019-04-26T15:48:52 | http://tiltedmill.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=27033&start=20 |

Since President Obama announced the BRAIN Initiative in April 2013, entities across the federal government, including HHS, as well as dozens of main know-how firms, educational institutions, and different companions have made significant commitments to advancing the initiative. Dried fruits are a great source of fiber and roughage which might help keep health intestines and can help forestall or relieve constipation.

Health Coverage is intended to be a automobile for the exploration and dialogue of health policy and health system points and is aimed particularly at enhancing communication between health coverage and system researchers, legislators, resolution-makers and professionals involved with creating, implementing, and analysing health coverage, health techniques and health care reforms, primarily in excessive-income international locations outdoors the U.S.A.
As the Canadian health automobile system continues to alter and evolve, it will be important that we soak up to account the problems related to a single-payer system and think about the benefits that a statutory health insurance coverage system would provide. Inexperienced leafy greens are the very best, however many other vegetables carry quite a lot of health benefits on your dog as properly.

As I’ve discovered the sordid historical past of how we’ve gotten into the current mess regarding weight-reduction plan, health and human nutrition, I’ve been struck by similarities with different present controversies, like Catastrophic Anthropogenic International Climate Change (aka World Warming” or Local weather Change”). While Obamacare and RyanCare differ on how they finance health care providers, they are unsurprisingly related in terms of controlling health care supply costs, as a result of this portion of each nightmares was dictated by corporate lobbyists and special interests.

Saut� bacon in large Dutch oven. Remove bacon and leave drippings in pan. Saut� onion in reserved bacon fat until soft about 10 min. Add potatoes, carrots and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 min or until vegetables are cooked.
Add fish and corn, cover and simmer until it flakes easily with a fork, about 10 min. Add milk, reserved bacon and ranch dressing mix. Simmer until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Today we have salt in overabundance; we use it to preserve food, and it tastes so good that the average American consumes more than 3 to 5 grams a day. The recommended daily requirement is 1.5 grams per day. Excess salt ends up in the blood, where it draws in water from the rest of the body, elevating blood pressure in your arteries. We are adapted to crave salt, but eating too much salt can make you sick.
It should come as no surprise that salting our earth will make it sick as well. Minnesota applies an estimated 365,000 tons of salt to metro area roadways each winter. That's TONS. Most of which will end up polluting lakes where it can be lethal to fish, bugs and vegetation. Salt can also cause damage up to 60 feet away from a road, and affect plants by either leaching into the soil or spraying directly onto leaves and stems from passing traffic.
Use salt sparingly. If you see it on dry sidewalks, sweep it up.
Use something other than rock salt if you need to de-ice your walks and driveway. Sand, wood ashes, plain cat litter or a calcium magnesium acetate product are good alternatives.
Avoid de-icing products which contain chloride as an ingredient.
Near roadways, avoid planting salt-sensitive species such as little leaf linden, sugar maple, red maple, crabapple, white spruce, and white pine.
Highly susceptible plants can be wrapped with burlap if near roads.
Excess salt should be swept away from dry pavement.

It is often assumed that sapsucker feeding causes trees to die. Not true. Sapsuckers are woodpeckers that bore neat horizontal rows of holes into the trunk and limbs of trees. The sap that flows attracts insects that they eat. This sap is extremely diluted (it's mainly water), maybe 2.5% sugar. Nectar on the other hand is 25% sugar. But one can't live on sugar alone (I've tried it, it doesn't work), so sapsuckers are after high-protein, high-fat insects. They dip the captured insects in the sap and eat that or feed it to their young.
Trees are just fine. These wounds are quickly scabbed over and rarely does this kill the tree. Trees that are already stressed or in decline for other reasons may be set back by bacteria or fungi that enter the wound.
What is the best way to attract woodpeckers to your yard? Answer: a Suet feeder.
Neat horizontal rows of sapsucker feeding.
These will seal over and not hurt the tree.

Never assume what is in the bags for grouting.
Read all instructions for use, no matter how sure you are with the product you bought, errors are possible.
Be sure to check the expiry date of the product.
Start grouting only in the adequate conditions.
After placing the tiles they must rest for at least 24 hours, they should not be touched and you should not walk over them.
Consider the quality of the tiles, the grout and room temperature.
When you encounter a problem, no matter how difficult it is, seek advice from someone who is experienced with the application of the specific products.
You should consider following aspects in laying tiles before grouting: After the laying of ceramic tiles, it’s necessary to wait some time for the binder to harden, so don’t walk over them or put heavy items on them.The attractiveness and fastness of the surface depends on the care provided, as well as their afterwards maintenance.
Remove dirt from the edges of the tile. Once the tile adhesive is fully dry, you may begin sealing it. Before applying, test how things will look like. Clean ends of tile should be wetted with a wet sponge.
The semi-liquid grout on the tile surface is applied with a rubber spatula or trowel. It’s good to remove excess material and clean the surface of the tiles with a wet sponge. After drying, wipe the entire floor smoothly with a wet sponge. You may restore luster tiles with a dry woolen cloth.
Push grout of a plastic consistency, in the space between the tiles using a rubber spatula. After drying, clean the tiles with a sponge (often irrigated). If the joints are too dry, they should be moistened with a wet, smooth sponge. You may restore luster tiles with a dry woolen cloth.
When the plasterisal most dry, remove excess between tiles with a trowel. Smooth junctions with ajutecloth.
The joints are slightly inclined towards the inside of the lower edge of the junction. Hold the trowel down the vertical junction and with edge of the blade push one side of the junction. Pull the blade traversing to the other side to remove excess mortar. Shape the other junctions in the same way.
For horizontal junction, with edge of blade push the mortar on the top edge junction of approximately 3 mm. Below the junction adhere the flat wooden lath and with spatula remove the excess so that the bottom edge of the junction is slightly protruding. When the plaster is almost dry, brush to remove dust from the walls.
The main goal of the grouting is to fill the empty space and prevent water penetration into the wall or the floor,but they are often among the dirtiest surfaces in the household, which accumulate moisture and dirt. Removing impurities are very difficult, which is why we have four solutions that facilitate their cleaning.
We may use a baking powder and mix it with water and to apply the resulting mixture into the joints using an old toothbrush. It’s good to rub the surface well and leave on for 10 minutes, after which the joint should be clean.
If the joints have visible black fungus due to the large amount of moisture that accumulates there, we can use oxygen bleach to remove it. This agent is not toxic and does not damage the surface of the tile, it is necessary to bleach mixed with water at a ratio of 1:3. Pour the solution over the plate and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then use a damp cloth to wipe the tiles and joints.
A solution of salt and boiling water in a 1:2 ratio to effectively help detoxify the joints, pour the solution on the plate and allow to dry for 20 minutes, after which the joints need to scrub brush or rough side of a sponge. After cleaning the bathrooms definitely try to dry the surface thoroughly to minimize moisture accumulated in the joints.
To reduce moisture retention and dirt on the tiles and grout, we may coat them with wax for cars, twice a year. This smoothing system will prevent water retention in the joints, which in this case slips from them. With the use of the grouting color which is resistant to mold, we can solve the accumulation of dirt in the joints for a long term.
How to repair and beautify the old and damaged joints?
This is a common problem with tiles where is greater mobility and more frequent soiling. The joints lose their basic color and look sloppy. This can be solved in two ways. The first is to scrape out the grout. In this way, there is a possibility to damage tiles so should be done very carefully, and then to do the grouting again. The second way is simpler. In specialty stores you can buy paint for joints in packaging that is designed to facilitate painting. The joints will then look like new.
Why people use the special materials for the grouting on the surfaces of natural stone?
Some grouting material can cause discoloration when it comes in contact with the natural stone. Therefore, it’s necessary to use special materials for the grouting on the surfaces of natural stone (which are generally more expensive). Masking sanitary tape can be used for the joints along the bathtub, sink and floors.

A controversial planning application for the creation of a so-called “super cemetery” near the site of the Ulster Grand Prix circuit in Co Antrim has been turned down.
Members of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council’s Planning Committee yesterday decided to refuse planning permission for Loughview Park Cemetery at Dundrod – a decision that will come as a relief to the thousands of people who objected to the application.
The Loughview Park Cemetery masterplan.
Committee members ruled that there was no need for the cemetery, which would have had an estimated lifespan of 75 years, in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area.
The 96-acre development was to involve an initial £10 million investment and include funeral facilities, catering, parking, woodland walkways and a memorial garden.
Carston, the company behind a proposal, said it was “dismayed” by the committee’s refusal decision.
However, it has been welcomed by local residents and supporters of the Ulster Grand Prix, who feared the new cemetery’s proximity to the race circuit could spell the end for the annual motorcycle road racing event.
UGP organisers, the Dundrod and District Motorcycle Club, welcomed the Planning Committee’s “unanimous rejection” of the application.
“Race fans far and wide felt so strongly about the impact these plans could have on this international event that they launched a ‘Don’t Bury the UGP’ petition, which has been supported by motorcycle fans around the world,” Des Stewart, chairman of the Ulster Grand Prix Supporters Club, commented.
Noel Johnston, UGP Clerk of the Course added: “We are pleased with the unanimous decision taken by the council Planning Committee to reject the cemetery in favour of the planning officers’ recommendation for refusal.
DUP Alderman James Tinsley, who has opposed the application from the outset, welcomed the committee’s ruling, saying it came as “a huge relief” to those fighting the controversial plan.
“In the end it all came down to need and it is clear that there is absolutely no need for this cemetery in this area,” he said.
A statement issued by Carston claimed that while there may not be any need for additional cemetery space within Lisburn and Castlereagh at present, there is a need for new burial space in the neighbouring Belfast City Council (BCC) area.
The company said it had spent “a huge amount of money in trying to secure planning permission” for the project.
“The Loughview Park site would become to north and west Belfast what Roselawn is to the south and east of the city. It would also become a vital piece of civic infrastructure for the entire Greater Belfast, Lisburn and South Antrim catchment area. If Belfast City Council and others want it to become a reality, they need to get involved in this planning debate now,” the statement added. | 2019-04-19T13:02:36 | https://www.lisburntoday.co.uk/news/controversial-plan-for-super-cemetery-close-to-ugp-circuit-turned-down-1-8653991 |
Adolf Stern first recognized the emotional disorder known as borderline personality disorder in 1938.

Everyone recognizes that many people were in America long before Columbus. The Asiatic peoples who became Native Americans were certainly the first, tens of thousands of years ago. Also Norse expeditions to North America, starting with Bjarni Herjolfsson in 986, are well established historically. Many other pre-Columbian discoveries are not well established. Claims have been made for St. Brendan, Basque fishermen, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Africans, and even Carthaginians. Some of these claims may be true; most are probably not.
For example, Gavin Menzies recently made a big splash by claiming in a bestselling book that America (and most of the rest of the world) was discovered in 1421 by the Chinese Admiral Zheng He. While it is true that Zheng He made a number of important voyages, none of them went beyond the Indian Ocean, as numerous contemporary Chinese accounts make clear. A number of notable scholars have quietly demonstrated that Menzies' evidence is tissue-thin and his claims unfounded.
Even though Columbus wasn't the first, his discovery (or re-discovery, if you prefer) is rightly regarded as the most historically important, and will continue to be -- even if other earlier claims are eventually proven true. That is because, unlike the others, Columbus inaugurated permanent large scale two-way commerce between the Old World and the New. Previous discoveries were so obscure that almost no one in either hemisphere was aware of the other hemisphere's existence prior to Columbus. But after Columbus, everyone knew.
The "Admiral of the Ocean Sea," unlike his predecessors, changed the world.

As homes become smarter — using motion detectors to turn on lights and smart thermostats to automatically adjust heat or air-conditioning depending on the season — people expect their workplace to have similar efficiencies and conveniences so they can work better, experience more comfort and be safer.
To meet the users’ demands and achieve financial and energy savings goals, private employers and public entities are looking to energy services companies (ESCOs) to optimize their energy systems. This often comes at the expense of the users of their space as the companies implementing the projects are focused on financial and energy savings exclusively. Technologies and projects are implemented without taking into account what matters most — the users.
A different approach to the traditional model is energy systems optimization – a more holistic method to energy efficiency that optimizes energy systems to achieve not only maximized financial and energy savings, but also an improved environment for users that foster productivity, comfort and safety.
A good example of how energy systems optimization can improve spaces for users is with lighting.
“Enhancing lighting systems to adjust to occupants circadian rhythms can brighten people’s moods, make them happier and more productive in a safer environment,” said Brian Burcham, a member of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) and proponent of energy systems optimization.
With the addition of advanced lighting controls, users are given full control to adjust lighting in their space to meet their unique needs. Light levels can be dimmed or brightened, and color temperatures can even be adjusted on certain LED fixtures allowing the user to create an optimal atmosphere based on their preferences or work requirements.
In addition to lighting, improved comfort and productivity can be positively impacted by a building’s mechanical and control systems.
Ken Lane, a building automation controls expert with nearly 20 years of experience pointed out that the lives of the people using the space are improved, when all systems are tied to one easily accessed platform to best manage the lights and temperature within a space.
Burcham said the money saved isn’t just in reduced energy costs, but a more productive and content workforce.
Burcham believes that in 10 years, all ESCOs will either become energy systems optimization companies or be out of business. | 2019-04-19T20:47:19 | https://www.smartwatt.com/energy-systems-trends-point-to-user-experience/ |
Daisen-in Temple is the most famous sub-temple of Daitoku-ji Temple. Its beautiful garden is one of the greatest in Japan. Large rocks have been arranged in a small space to represent mountains and ravines. The garden employs all the elements of a classic Song dynasty Chinese landscape painting, but brings a three-dimensional form in a garden which surrounds the main hall on all four sides. The dry river landscape is a metaphor for the journey of life - from the narrow rapids of youth to the more mature stream of adulthood. Rocks symbolize human trials and tribulations. Eventually, the river empties out into a flat void of white gravel which symbolizes the void of death to which all travelers return. Further out stands a lone Bodhi tree beyond two gravel cones, which represent the obstacles to the attainment of enlightenment.
Daisen-in Temple's main hall is one of the few original buildings to survive the fire that destroyed much of Daitoku-ji Temple. It is one of the oldest remaining examples of the Hojo style of Zen-Buddhist architecture, and its painted screens are also masterpieces. Everything about this temple speaks to the deep beauty of the Zen aesthetic. It is a must-see. | 2019-04-21T12:58:11 | https://kyoto.travel/ms/shrine_temple/137 |
Republican Scott Kinzinger, a life-long resident of Wayne County, and owner of Kinzinger Printing and Advertising, has announced his candidacy for Wayne County Commissioner.
The son of Gordon and Gail Kinzinger, retired owners of The Country Auction, Scott has two brothers, Mike Kinzinger, owner of Sunrise Service and Board Director of the Wayne County YMCA, and Todd Kinzinger, Respiratory Therapist at Northeast Med-Equip/Stephens Pharmacy.
His sister, Susan (Kinzinger) Kimble is Bethany Borough Tax Collector and is employed at Marshall Machinery.
For over 40 years, Scott Kinzinger has been active as a leader and community volunteer.
He is especially well known for his work with area youth in Honesdale Little Baseball and the Honesdale Softball League.
Scott was instrumental in getting corporate sponsorship for youth athletic activities. Corporate dollars, along with many creative marketing programs, saved hard working parents thousands of dollars every year.
As a local businessman and taxpayer himself, Scott realizes how hard people work for their money.
Part of his plan for Wayne County's future is to find creative ways to reduce our taxes -such as getting corporate sponsorship for County programs.
It's a win-win situation - businesses sponsor with advertising dollars, the public patronizes the participating businesses and residents pay less County taxes.
Scott has already contacted the Pennsylvania General Assembly and the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania, and discussed more tax saving strategies that can be implemented in Wayne County.
Scott Kinzinger says, “Since high school, I’ve spent a large part of my time as a community volunteer.
“If elected as your next Commissioner of Wayne County, I want to do even more to make life better and more affordable for the people that live here.
• 40 Years continuous involvement of Honesdale Little Baseball (President, Vice President, Secretary, Director, Coach and Manager).
• President of Honesdale Softball League for past 10 years.

Vintage decor always adds a bit of character to any home, bedroom, or office. One of the most popular recent trends in clothing and home decor is going vintage—from cool clothing items to unique furniture and other decor.
Feathers and Twigs is Carrollton’s one-stop-shop for everything vintage. Becky Hill took over as new owner of Feathers and Twigs more than a year ago. She says the store has something that would suit any room or home.
Feathers and Twigs is located at 506 Maple Street, and the store recently expanded into the old Fabric Peddler space in March of this year. Becky says she expanded the store in order to provide additional choices for her customers.
Becky says Feathers and Twigs also carries a large assortment of vintage clothing items.
Much like traditional antique malls, the store also offers booth space which people can rent and sell their own vintage and antique items.
Becky says she hopes shoppers in the Carrollton area stop by Feathers and Twigs to see the new and improved store and clothing selection.

Zeller had the pleasure to welcome the South Korean pharmacist and key influencer Ms. Bohyun Lee to Switzerland this September. An exciting program, fully packed with science, product education and experience exchange was undertaken with Ms. Lee.
Zeller had the pleasure to welcome the South Korean pharmacist and key influencer Ms. Bohyun Lee to Switzerland this September. An exciting program, fully packed with science, product education and experience exchange was undertaken with Ms. Lee. The team of the International Division at Zeller accompanied Ms. Lee throughout the trip.
Currently, four Zeller products are on the Korean market including Redormin® (for sleep disorder), Prefemin® (for premenstrual syndrome), Cimidona® (for menopause) and Cosalin® (for allergic rhinitis).
Ms. Lee, who operates her own pharmacy in Seoul, was excited to experience the manufacturing process at Zeller and to learn more about the Zeller products from the Swiss perspective. In Korea, she regularly posts articles on the Korean pharmacist community www.dailypharm.com and educates her peers in on- and offline seminars about treatment of different diseases with phyto-pharmaceuticals. As Western phyto-therapies are still not well known in Korea, she is a pioneer in creating awareness about this therapeutic option in Korea.
The first stop of her trip was the Annual Conference of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA) in Basel – the largest conference in the phyto-medicine area in Europe. Together with Dr. Si Chen, Business Development Manager at Zeller, she visited several lectures and posters about medicinal plant research, including a talk about Cimidona®, and deepened her knowledge about medical usages of plants.
Day 1: Impressions of the GA conference (Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research). Upper right: Bohyun Lee (right), Si Chen (Business Development Manager, Zeller, left).
The second stop was a tour through Zeller’s headquarters in Romanshorn and Zeller’s daughter company Vitaplant in Uttwil, including a visit of the production facilities, the R&D and QC laboratories and medicinal plant development facilities at Vitaplant. Ms. Lee received a detailed insight into the value chain at Zeller and could experience first-hand how plants are developed and processed in order to produce high-quality medicines.
Day 2: Visit of Zeller and Vitaplant. Upper right: Ms. Lee (left) with Philipp Trautzl (Vitaplant, right), Middle right: Ms. Lee (right) with Stefan Bauer (Production Head, Zeller, left).
Next, Ms. Lee had the opportunity to exchange experiences with Swiss pharmacists at several pharmacies and drug stores. Coming from Korea, she was fascinated by the size and product range in the Swiss pharmacies. She was especially amazed by the private consultation rooms, which do not exist in Korea, and is already considering implementing one in her own pharmacy. During lively discussions with the Swiss pharmacists, both parties could learn about each culture’s way of consulting patients and exchanged tips on different treatment options.
Day 2 & 3: Pharmacy visits. Top: Ms. Lee (right) and Yulia Kirschner (Director International Division, Zeller, left). Middle right: Ms. Lee (left) and Julia Witt (Assistant International Division, Zeller, middle) talk to the pharmacist Ms. Kern from the TopPharm pharmacy in Romanshorn (right). Bottom left: Ms. Lee (right) and Dr. Si Chen (Business Development Manager, Zeller, left) visiting DROPA drug store in Arbon.
After two days full of new impressions, Ms. Lee could relax a bit on a short visit to Constance and the Lake Constance, before taking off back to South Korea with many new insights, knowledge and ideas. She couldn’t wait to share her experience with her fellow pharmacists in Korea and already started posting about her trip on her facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pharmacist.leebohyun). This international exchange was truly a great experience for both Ms. Lee and Zeller. | 2019-04-18T20:57:57 | https://zellerag.com/en/news/korean-pharmacist-visits-zeller-in-switzerland/ |

Coming back to skiing after a long layoff, I wanted to get a basic setup that was a) good enough for Midwest skiing and b) a lot cheaper than renting.
When I saw this boot on sale at Sports Authority online for $80 with free shipping, I couldn’t resist. I ordered a pair for myself and our 13 year old son. I wore the boots around the house a few times, with no problems. Of course, on the slopes is a whole different thing.
We’ve gone skiing a few times together now and, apart from some trouble getting one of my son’s boots on, he says they’ve been comfortable. He has complained about cold toes (I suspect overly thick socks, though the polar vortex probably has something to do with it), and some foot pain on and off, but has continued skiing, so it’s either teen stubbornness or not that bad. He is still struggling to get one foot in, not sure why, as I’ve had no problems at all.
The boot, on the whole, seems well-made, though it’s not easy to walk in – it’s a pretty stiff boot and plenty heavy. I will say it’s broken in pretty nicely though. I’ve skied at least a dozen times this winter, and it just keeps getting more and more comfy. The buckle system also feels a bit cheap, though it works and, in conjunction with the shin strap, has been completely capable.
I’d say, as a beginner and entry level boot, this is a winner on most counts and definitely worth looking into if you’re looking for a temporary boot or for a fast-growing teen.
My only problem now? As my skiing has improved, so has my need for a higher level pair of boots! | 2019-04-25T06:25:06 | https://midwestbasecamp.com/nordica-one-45-ski-boots/ |
Just a reminder..Chilliwack Summer Fly In is scheduled for Aug 23 and 24....but you can come earlier, and stay a few days later if you like...there's always room at the field for your RV or tent.....and we're always happy to have you here.
Ya'll have a great time!
I've been at the last 23 fly-ins (2 per year), I won't miss # 24.
Brad, I'll see you there! Sarah and I plan to arrive on Friday. This is only our #4, but we're still young!
Will Sir Fishwick be accompanying you again?
I will certainly be there for some of the days. I managed to get to the Chilliwack club event last Saturday. For most of the time Gerry and I were the only participants. Sure it did rain frequently then blew a gale!
The field was in great shape and know there is a separate heli area.
On Sunday evening, I will be coming down from the mountain. My niece is back from the cruise but they just dropped in to get a change of clothes and have taken off to Whistler for the weekend. Unfortunately, that means I must remain up here and try to get by with all of the luxuries that Brad mentioned. I will, however, be coming up to Chilliwack with Brad. Looking forward to seeing you both again.
Looking forward to seeing you too Ron, I too have been to many many of the meets at Chilliwack. By the way, I have rebuilt my old LT40 and will be bringing it up to fly this next weekend. I have flown this airplane dozens of times at chilliwack, it is my all time favorite.
Looking forward to seeing all of the regulars again and hope to meet all of the newcomers as well.
I''m looking forward to this and will be there on Thursday I think, but w/o my beloved Laura who doesn't get the 5 weeks A/V that I do. There was a chance she might swing the time off, but no luck with a bunch of co-workers leaving.
I'll be traveling light with just a Spit, an EZ glider and a couple of heli's. No extra's that basically stay in the van anyway, & just a few heli parts.
And something odd has happened - instead of rushing to finish off a heli rebuild or model project (such as an autogyro or glider I have waiting/begging to be built), I've been busy shopping for a flash-based DV camcorder, LOL. And if you knew me like my wife does, you would expect that I'd spend a lot of time researching my decision and then return the first purchase or two And I hope that I won't miss the 37X optical zoom camera I returned to get an HD one with only 12X optical (but has OIS), when it comes to trying to fill the screen with an aircraft. So I'll be another guy on the edge of the runway enticing pilots to fly close to the ground at "just the right angle to the sun"
How's the Weather Forecast Looking??
If all goes as planned, I should arrive late Wednesday PM or Thursday AM..
Just finished my new T-Rex 500 and hope to ring out any bugs before the start of the weekend..
Will be bring the usual lineup..
So I'll be another guy on the edge of the runway enticing pilots to fly close to the ground at "just the right angle to the sun"
John, if I get anything worthwhile I'll send you a DVD.
Every body have a safe trip here..see you on the field.
Things are crazy here today so I won't be arriving until well after dark tonight. See you at the field (or maybe the float pond, though I'm not bringing anything to fly on floats this time - another casualty to it being crazy at work) tomorrow. | 2019-04-19T14:22:52 | https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?907506-Chilliwack-Summer-fly-In |
School boards and parents are discovering that schools they labored hard to raise money to build in the last 10 years or so are subjecting their children to mold and indoor air quality problems. Many of these problems can be attributed to choices made in building materials. Some materials provide a ready food source for mold. Roof leaks, wall leaks, window leaks or plumbing failures have even led to the destruction of materials installed to protect the buildings. These observations are at the heart of a new book called "Are You Building a School or a Liability?" written by Chris Huckabee and Kyle Montgomery and published by the Brick Industry Association, the Masonry Contractors Association of America and the National Concrete Masonry Association. The book calls attention to a serious problem with school buildings.
"The use of porous and paper-based products as the substrate of an exterior wall system has given rise to many, if not most, of the mold-related issues that building owners face today. These products are destroyed by mold. In fact, the mold actually consumes this material as a food source," said the authors. Huckabee is a well-known Texas architect who has built more than 1,000 schools. Montgomery is the executive director of the Texas Masonry Council.
Together, they recommend the use of materials that are "forgiving." A forgiving material, according to Huckabee and Montgomery, is a material that is not destroyed by moisture. They also argue in favor of redundant construction in which wall systems are designed and constructed to direct moisture from inside the building to outside. "Are You Building a School or a Liability?" presents several case studies where masonry was the solution to serious mold problems in schools. Huckabee and Montgomery note that concrete masonry block is a material that can be cleaned and dried easily and will not be destroyed by mold. Huckabee and Montgomery cite case studies where gypsum-based interior walls of schools were replaced with concrete block in areas of high moisture probability. In one case, all exterior walls were demolished and replaced with a masonry wall system that included a masonry wall backup. They call this approach "total masonry construction." School boards, parent groups and architectural firms specializing in school building construction can obtain free copies of "Are You Building a School or a Liability?" To get a copy, send a letter written on letterhead stationery from your school board, parent group or architectural firm to the National Concrete Masonry Association, 13750 Sunrise Valley Drive, Herndon, VA 20171. | 2019-04-24T04:48:02 | http://unilodgehotel.com.au/read-article/54422 |
As I spent time watching for the response of many friends on social media to what happened in Charlottesville over the weekend there was one thing that stood out more glaringly than anything else. It wasn’t the response or lack thereof of President Trump. It wasn’t the hate filled invective of the damned Nazis and Klan, or as they call themselves now, the “Alt-Right.” It wasn’t the response most elected Republican or Democrat office holders, or of civil rights activists. It was the silence of conservative Christians and ordained clergy of whom I have many friends, some going back decades. The silence was deafening.
But the silence of conservative Christians was even more deafening when I heard the claims of the Nazis and their supporters who called the violence “a victory of victories,” “the beginning of their revolution,” “their Beer Hall Putsch,” and that it “fulfills the promises of Donald Trump.” Even so most remained silent, the great and the small, the elected and the ordained, the politically active and the non-politically active.
It is a good question for all of us to ponder. But I think that it is a more pertinent question who for whatever reason cannot condemn the evil of racism, race hatred, and racial superiority. Whether it is those who excuse evil by using the argument of moral equivalence, those who are too afraid to speak up because it might cause them the loss of popularity or profit, and those who while maintaining their outward respectability quietly agree with the evil. I found it troubling that I saw very few conservative Christians, great or small, openly condemn the violence and death caused by the Nazis in Charlottesville, and like Bonhoeffer I ask, are we still of any use?
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Yes, this does matter. It is a stain upon our nation, but even more for the Christian it is a profound witness against Jesus Christ, and a stain upon his Church. If those who profess the name of Christ cannot stand in the face of evil then what use are we?
Please don’t get me wrong, I know a number of theologically conservative Christian friends, including my Friend Fr. Kenneth Tanner who have been a consistent witness for Christ and justice, and Kenneth is quite eloquent in his witness. But sadly I haven’t seen many who can even bother to put a like on an anti-Nazi and anti-racism post. Why I don’t know, maybe they don’t want to appear political, but there are times that even the most non-political people have to speak up.
Too many Christians are turning a blind eye and remaining silent in the face of the evil of White Supremacy and race hatred, remaining silent and not surprisingly justice and liberty are dying.
Thus I repeat Bonhoeffer’s question, are we still of any use?
The Southern Poverty Law Center http://www.splcenter.org lists nearly 800 active hate groups of all types operating across the country, including neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, border vigilantes and others. (See the Hate Map here https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map) The number is down from recent because a number of more the virulent White Supremacist and militia groups have gone underground, shut down websites and social media pages.
We cannot ever let ourselves forget that it was supposedly Christian men who bombed a church and killed those four little girls, and that as long as all of us fail to live up to our responsibilities such things will happen again. If we do not, we are as guilty as those who throw the bombs, shoot the bullets, and those preachers, pundits and politicians who deny the fact that these things are still commonplace. Sadly the candidate of the Republican Party for President as well as many GOP operatives and candidates for office dow the ballot seem to have no interest in justice and Trump’s many supporters in the badly named “Alt-Right” which would be better called Klansmen and Nazis long for the return of the society that allowed the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church.
Sadly my friends, if we allow a racist like Donald Trump to become President we will be at least as guilty as the brazen killers who continue to try to kill the dreams of those who are not like them. As for me, I hope that I will be as committed to stand for the rights of the oppressed and for justice as did Charles Morgan no matter what the results of the upcoming election.
Just a short thought today as I have been very busy with a new class at the Staff College as well as doing more writing and research on my Civil War and Gettysburg texts, but I wanted to share this thought, from the late Charles Morgan Jr. I wrote about what this amazing man said in regard to what he said after the bombing to the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Alabama some 53 years ago in previous articles, but I think that this is something that is pertinent as well look to the coming election.
Morgan was a well off young Southern gentleman, a lawyer, and a man with a conscience. He was a defender of the civil liberties of many people during his life, most of which were incredibly unpopular when he made his strand.
Sadly, there are too many who will do just that, all to often in the name of their God, or their religion, but some in the name of “law and order.” If we ration justice so that only a few; the rich, and the well off are able to afford it, then we will succeed in standing idly by as injustice becomes the norm.
Please ponder that thought. I have some other projects that I am working on for this site, but today I am going with Judy for another follow-up visit with her oncologist and praying as always that there is no recurrence of the Endometrial Cancer that she was operated on last year. | 2019-04-26T05:39:12 | https://padresteve.com/tag/charles-morgan-jr/ |

It seems the landscape of video game releases is slowly changing, and it’s trickling down to how publishers are releasing their games. Bethesda has stated that it will not be launching Fallout 76 via Steam, in a peculiar announcement made via the most updated Fallout 76 beta notes. The notes mention that the game will be available on “PC (via Bethesda.net)”, bereft of any reference to Steam.
Bethesda didn’t elaborate further on why the game would be skipping Steam, but much like Epic Games is doing by keeping the Android version of Fortnite away from the Google Play Store, it likely has something to do with earning more money from each cut of the game. So if you’re looking to play the game on PC via Steam, it looks like you’re currently going to be out of luck. It doesn’t appear that it will be making its way outside of the Bethesda launcher, at least not any time soon.
Fallout 76 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Nov. 14. | 2019-04-22T02:17:55 | https://twinfinite.net/2018/08/fallout-76-is-skipping-steam-on-release-opting-for-bethesda-launcher-instead/ |

Hi everyone. I need some help. Here's the situation.
I am only applying to McMaster this year because I just switched my career goal from clinical psychology to psychiatry or possibly neurology and don't have the requirements yet to apply at other schools except for McMaster. I live out of province and am male. Both of these characteristics seem to greatly limit my chances (as 100 out of 130 admitted are female). I have so-so grades (3.7) which makes it hard to get in all the other schools except for McMaster (mean gpa of accepted applicants is usually 3.55-3.6). So to get an interview I hear that it all comes down to the autobiographical sketch. The questions are not that tough but do require a lot of thought. I don't have any quarms with thinking I just am wondering if anyone has had any experience with applying to McMaster and the autobiographical sketch in particular.
I am not asking anyone to answer the questions for me, just some advice maybe on things to say or not to say.
1. Why do you want to study medicine instead of pursuing another career?
2. How has your understanding of health care issues in Canada influenced your choice of career?
3. How has your understanding of the role of physician in society impacted on your career choice?
4. What does the McMaster undergraduate medical program have to offer you?
5. What do you have to offer the McMaster undergraduate medical program and your fellow students?
6. What is your understanding of self-directed learning? Provide evidence that you have the skills to study medicine at McMaster.
7. What is your understanding of problem-based learning? How do your think it will facilitate your study of medicine at McMaster?
8. Provide evidence of your ability to learn in a small group. How will this enhance your study of medicine at McMaster?
9. How do you know when you have learned enough without relying on external standards?
11. Provide evidence of your ability to cope with conflict.
12. Describe the multiple demands in your life, and how you keep them in perspective.
13. What does time management mean to you?
14. Elaborate on the lesson(s) learned from a significant failure in your life.
15. Justify why you should receive an interview at McMaster.
Welcome to SDN!! Sorry I can't offer specific advice, since I'm not Canadian or familiar with their perspectives. Wow! Makes me tired just looking at those questions. Makes all the whining SDNers do about AMCAS and secondaries look pretty pathetic. But at least it's the only one you have to work on.
I would change the title of your thread to ask for help from Canadians. (Use the edit post button at the bottom of post.) That will get your questions looked at by the right people. If you don't get anwers, try PMing brandodnite, an extremely helpful Canadian guy who moderates the MD/PhD forum (I believe). In general I'd say to just be as honest, genuine, human and concise as you can be in your answers. In the US you want to say things that make you stand out from the pack, that let the adcoms know why you are such a unique person that will contribute to the quality and diversity of their incoming class. Best of luck!
Thanks! I'll remember that when I answer the questions. I switched the title like you suggested. It was nice stumbling across this forum. I have learned so much from reading up on the PBL experiences of other members. Now I just got to get me one of those nifty quotes everyone seems to have. | 2019-04-25T03:02:23 | https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/need-help-with-mcmaster-autobiographical-sketch.44122/ |
It was nice to meet the Ice Co team at the Ice Cream Exhibition in Harrogate. We have had a close alliance with this company since we started back in 2008 when their company director Andrew Marr, paid us a visit – we recommend all our Shave Ice operators use “Party Ice Cubes” which are readily available throughout the UK at most super markets and cash and carry’s (the latter offering much better value for money).
It’s nice working with a company which still holds “Family Values ” at the core of its business, although the Marrs Group has been going for more than 100 years (Est 1870) and involved six generations of Marr’s the business started with a single trawler boat. – We are still at an early stage of our exciting journey – starting with a single trailer shack and now supplying over 200 operators – I wonder where our legacy will be in 100 years …. | 2019-04-22T02:43:22 | http://www.theshaveicecompany.co.uk/the-shave-ice-co-meets-some-of-the-team-of-the-ice-co/ |
MUMBAI, India (AP) The India selectors have stuck with a winning combination, retaining the 16-man squad from the test victory over Bangladesh for the first two tests against Australia.
India beat Bangladesh by 208 runs in a one-off test on Monday, following home series wins over England and New Zealand, and will start the four-match series against Australia as hot favorite.
Virat Kohli’s squad is on a 19-test unbeaten streak, and has been unbeatable on home soil in its last 20 tests, winning 17 and drawing three.
Australia holds the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after winning the four-match series 2-0 in Australia in 2014-15, but was swept 4-0 in the previous tour to India and has lost its last nine test matches in Asia.
Australia will play a warmup against an Indian XI this week, and the first test starts on Feb. 23 in Pune.
India: Virat Kohli (captain), Murali Vijay, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha, Ravi Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Karun Nair, Jayant Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, Abhinav Mukund, Hardik Pandya. | 2019-04-24T06:38:26 | https://www.foxsports.com/cricket/story/india-retain-winning-squad-for-first-2-tests-vs-australia-021417 |
One fails as a scientist if one cannot not replace a name such as ‘Pluto’ with increasingly accurate properties of what we now call the dwarf planet Pluto. But this has never been the case in the arts. We do not understand a painting by Picasso by discovering an ever-lengthening list of true facts about it. The goal of art is not to create paraphraseable imagery, but to create something to which no paraphrase ever does justice.
I agree that great Art produces something whose imagery is not paraphraseable, "something to which no paraphrase ever does justice" but I doubt this is the goal of Art, but rather the effect of a great work of Art. Art to my mind can never be understood by a simple list of facts, but I think that's in part because what we experience in such works as such is not fully paraphraseable, there's always more that can be said or is felt.
Great works of art exert power that is not diminished over time, power that goes beyond the normative bounds of any observer. I think this is only possible if force of these works reaches certain objective truths about the world that, if we have sufficient knowledge and emotion, can't be avoided because their power consists in their spontaneous ability to continue to generate new or deeper thoughts, newer more meaningful narratives in observers.
What do you think the goal of a work is?
Art is simply a social trait that enables one to acquire resources, mates and friends - which is why we do most of the weird social things we do.
To make us better people. To communicate quality.
If this is your understanding, Cavacava, can you explain why art is not paraphrasable?
As much a something as anything else.
I don't think artworks provide discursive explanations of what they are. The aesthetic effect we experience from certain works of art describe a spectrum of experience which is not amenable to discursive explanation because it expands beyond our typical conceptualization of the subject by opening new ground and expanding our conception of what the subject entails . The experience of art , the aesthetic effect is lost in any attempt at interpretation of what is experienced. If there is no remainder, nothing left out of the explanation then what is explained is not a work of art.
Art as expression creates narratives which intersect with existing narratives either negatively or positively, the movement is dialectical. It is only by negation of existing meanings in art that new meanings can be experienced, and our notions can be expanded. Kandinsky's abstractions are not based on representations of the exterior world, they are interpretations of an interior world of feelings/values/meanings, which sets him apart from other abstract artists such as Picasso or Mondrian.
I don't think that great works of art are simply things, rather I think they pull things out of simple material existence into processes, or ways of experiencing which if you can catch their vibe separates them from other experiences.
The "goal" depends. The conscious goal of the artist? Sometime's there isn't one. The metaphysical telos of art in general? Big shoes to fill, no? I like what Berdyaev said about art, paraphrasing: "art wants to create actual being, but fails." Art has the divine creative urge, to create being itself. Laughable or controversial, maybe, but real.
Even for myself, my motives for making art depend. I will say, in leu of the Witty quote I just posted to the TPF Quote Cabinet, that the music I've made that I found to be the most personally satisfying and cathartic was the work that was the most personal and honest, as cliche as that is. The personal goal, for me, of making music is to go deeper and deeper, both into myself as I evolve (or devolve), and also into the medium that I have available to me. To explore my own being concurrently with exploring the medium, and to explore how the two interact, and how they interact with the world. All of this is a product of the world around me; the world and the life I find myself in dictate how I respond to the medium, and to what extent I can go into myself to pull a piece of myself out and transform it into something.
I can understand how art if understood as semblance fails to create actual being, that's why Plato kicked the imitative arts out of his Republic, but if an artist composes a song with lyrics and melody, a work of art, doesn't that song have actual being?
and does not remain a glove without a hand.
Yes "If you are unwilling to know what you are, your writing is a form of deceit." and yes, "All of this is a product of the world around me; the world and the life I find myself in dictate how I respond to the medium, and to what extent I can go into myself to pull a piece of myself out and transform it into something"
Kandinsky and Wittgenstein seem to bring ethics into the goal of art, the duty that one owes to one's art as one of its devout practitioners. So then perhaps a goal of art is to produce ethically authentic works, that further our understanding of truth because they can enable observers to experience a facet of the artist's self which is consciously or unconsciously transformed and presented in the work of art.
An artist's job is to give the seed of inspiration what it needs to come into this world. Once the baby has arrived, the artist gives it up to the world to go out and find independent life in other souls.
I like your analogy, Do you think that inspiration is independent of the artist that becomes inspired; that perhaps the artist's insight is already shared in the artist's community and that the artist through his/her sensitivity and skill enables a synthesis of existing ideas which are presented in a novel manner in the work of art.
Yes, it appears as something independent. On reflection, it's apparent that an artist's time and place are part of the medium in a way. It puts an interesting slant on "artistic community" to think about artists who worked alone throughout their lives. The ones I know of all happen to be women: Vivian Maier, Emily Dickinson, and Hilma Klint are some that I think of as biggies who were loners.
It's interesting to compare Hilma Klint to Kandinsky.
I don't know that much about Hilma Klint, however looking at her works, all those circles, reminds me of all those squares Mondrian painted.
Kandinsky wrote a theory of his work published in 1912 "Concerning The Spiritual In Art"
Unlike most abstract artists Kandinsky did not look to nature or the universe for inspiration, he looked inside himself and gave expression to his interior feelings, emotions, what he suggests is the pure or essential pictorial plane, and he did this by means of the figurative, the external, which for him is the non-essential plane.
They may have worked alone, but no one can fully isolate themselves from society, they have to be raised by someone, go to school and learn. Yes they can become eccentric, and perhaps by in being so isolated they can see further and clearer than those who are so fully enmeshed in society that it is impossible for them to have such a point of view.
True. Would you say the meaning of a piece of art is public in the same way the meaning of a statement is?
There are cultures where that's how art is understood. A Chinese watercolor painting can be clearly translated into words.
Science explores the universe and things in it.
Art does not explore itself, that's the consumption of art (some art is surely self-exploratory, however), like science it tends to explore the universe and things in it.
Some art may be hard to paraphrase, but its meaning has finite strokes. No, study of a single Picasso does not reveal ever increasing detail because the Picasso itself is a limited study of something else.
If we're forced to compare art to science, it's hard to speak to its "goals" as the goals of scientific endeavors are varied (it is not merely the pursuit of knowledge). Likewise the goals of artistic endeavors are many.
A scientific work yields descriptive and predictive power over the physical world by making rigidly defined and testable statements in procedural fashions. Artistic works can also yield descriptive and predictive power over things in the physical world, but they tend to do so without the organization, consensus, and rigidity which science demands as prerequisite.
Good science describes relationships that are hard to reduce.
Good art says things which are hard to paraphrase.
I think good art is indeed good because it "says something" that is difficult to compress or is very specific. In the case of Picasso, by distorting and removing so much, what remains is brought into greater focus.. Good art reveals, and it does so with ineffable style by using clever compositions of imprecise language.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but how many words can a Picasso fetch?
In high school I had a very talented art teacher who showed us his magnum opus which was a hyper-realistic painting of an old row boat tied to a dock. It was so realistic that I could not distinguish it from a photograph. Here was a work of art completed with more organization and rigidity than most other artworks, but he was almost ashamed of it and now I can gather why: it said little to nothing of value or intrigue. It was a painting imbued with skill beyond what I can fathom, and really that was the only remarkable thing about it. It's language was too precise. A grainy black and white photograph would have stated more.
What reveals more about the world and is harder to paraphrase, a photograph of a person or Picasso's portrait of them? In describing the photo, we would have a long list of details, and in describing the Picasso we might also need to list all the details which have been intentionally warped and omitted. It's kind of paradoxical that a photograph contains more information than a painting, generally (Picasso could probably have done what he did working from photographs to begin with) but a good painting even from a photograph can mean so much more. Photos tend to contain more data, but good art simplifies to magnify, making them more interesting and meaningful.
Science is the same way though: we observe vastly mixed phenomenon and try and bring fundamental parts and relationships into focus. Science seeks to highlight by simplifying and magnifying.
A painting is generally more interesting than a photo because the painting makes commentary. The commentary of the painting might be contained in the photograph but discerning it would require the lens of the artist (additional data perhaps).
So to conclude, good art says more with less. It trims detail into a kind of negative space where it becomes ambiguous, and what remains therefore becomes the object of focus. Often times we do not have suitable language for the things artworks communicate. The beauty of life, the curves of nature, the hubris of man. Such specific and contextual (lacking better terms) concepts and experiences are sometimes most efficiently expressed through a non-verbal medium, and if a work of art efficiently communicates a perception or notion I find worthy or interesting, I'll call it good art.
But I'm reluctant to discount prose; A picture can be worth a thousand words but a well written book can be worth thousands and thousands of pictures.
I am not sure I understand here. Is it because he is imitative in the way Plato suggests in the Republic or do you mean that Picasso always founds new ways of presenting what he had previously presented.
Yes, I wanted to bring that up, I don't agree with Harman that there is a finite interpretation, in fact I would strenuously argue against any finite limit, as long as there are humans there will be arguments about what is the correct way to interpret. I think the reason why masterpieces are masterpieces is because they continue to strongly affect their observers.
What reveals more about the world and is harder to paraphrase, a photograph of a person or Picasso's portrait of them?
The photo and the portrait are both mimetic, in a photo time is frozen as it presents a reality which as you indicate presents much more detail and more information. Yet it is still a simplified reality, since it presents a 3D object in 2D. The portrait distorts her face providing an overt commentary (to use your word) prior to any interpretation. Simplifying it as you suggest. While the figurative elements in the artwork may be simpler than the photo, the art work presents a much deeper view of the character in the portrait. It goes beyond the surface to the invisible in a way that is very difficult to replicate using a camera.
So then perhaps a goal of art is the communication of a way of understanding/experiencing by means of simplification and stylizing of its object.
What I mean to say is that a single painting or work of art might be analogous to a single scientific detail like "dwarf" in "dwarf planet". Comparing science to the study of a single artwork instead of the on-going body and process as a whole seemed vastly unfair in the analogy. The additional context makes it clear that its point was not to produce this effect, but I think my objection might be down to the authors somewhat loose usage of the terms art and philosophy (Do we define art/philosophy by specific products? By their processes? Their goals?). As he reassures us though, the issue is of mere taxonomy.
This definition resonates very strongly with what I consider to be good art. In addition to this, art which invents complexity which is not there in the first place (instead of simplifying and focusing), the dreaded abstract art, tends to say nothing at all by obfuscating and randomly distorting until all tangible meaning is lost. Anti-art.
I see now that Harman doesn't claim that art is not paraphrasable. He merely says that art may be created that "no paraphrase ever does justice."
Quoted in my opening post and you quoted in your response to me.
I didn't deny this only that I don't think it is art's goal.
You said art's goal is to "To communicate feeling/value/meaning.", and I wonder how such a goal differentiates it from other human endeavors which also attempt to communicate feeling/value/meaning?
So the butcher, the baker, the cobbler, the culter, the chef...don't have an aesthetic?
Isn’t the aesthetic of an artwork something different? It serves no utility, unlike the work of the other artisans you mention, Cava.
Yes, that's my point. What's your answer ND?
Sorry missed the utility part...does the whole exist for the benefit of the parts or do the parts exist for the benefit of the whole, where is the utility?
I don't have an answer, necessarily, in regards to the artisan. I suppose the "whole" of a loaf of ["whole-wheat"] bread is the nutrition and sustenance. Some parts of that are the flavor and texture, and the aesthetic of what the loaf looks like. Is it a cheap mass-produced loaf from the supermarket? Is it a fancy, expensive artisan loaf with perfect little crevices and colors? Was it an imperfectly shaped loaf made at home by someone who loves you? These are all aesthetic considerations of the loaf. Is that what you're getting at? If so, I'd say the parts serve the whole, when it comes to the utilitarian artisan. The parts still have value in themselves, though.
But it's not clear to me when it comes to a painting, or a piece of music. What is the "whole" here? I don't know. The artwork doesn't have a clear utility (nutrition). Nutrition of the spirit, maybe? An attempt to create "actual being" that fails?
By the way, I don't think I responded to your response to me, sorry. I'm too lazy to drag up the Berdyaev quote, but my understanding is that by actual being (that was a paraphrase), he meant Being, capital B, in a philosophical sense. I interpret it as the creative urge as a literal urge to create Being in the way the divine ("God") created being (thats the worldview Berdyaev is working from). And that urge is always a failure. I should drag up the quote because it's hard to wrangle with.
The word ''art'' is very vague but I think art is a medium of expression. The message may be everything under the sun and the medium too has a similar range.
What you want to say and how you want to say it.
These are all aesthetic considerations of the loaf. Is that what you're getting at? If so, I'd say the parts serve the whole, when it comes to the utilitarian artisan. The parts still have value in themselves, though.
I agree that "the parts serve the whole", that the parts are the means to an end, that their utility is only realized by the whole or end. In a similar way, water, yeast and flour are essential parts for making a loaf of bread. These parts at the immanent level of composition are purposeful. These parts, again similar to a loaf of bread, are transformed in the process of composition into a whole which is categorically different from the parts.
At the level of the whole, a loaf of bread sustains life, utility at this level is different from the composition utility that made it, yet it retains some of the essential characteristics of what and how it was made (almost like a dialectic). A work of art does not have the same kind of utility as a loaf of bread. We can compare loaves of bread for texture, moistness, aroma, flavor and so on, as well as how or if it sustains our body. A work of art also can be described in the terms of color, hue, saturation, or cadence, pitch, meter...but in the case of art what is sustained, broadened, or enhanced is our spirit..."Nutrition of the spirit"
The oldest works of art are estimated at around 40000 years old preserved in caves in various parts of the world. The most famous are at Lascaux in France, but they are also in Indonesia. Many of these paintings are fabulously stylized. I especially like the hand stencils that appear in these caves.
It is almost like they are waving at us, 'we were here'.
So, yes art is a medium of expression and expression is an essential characteristic of man from the get go. Understanding this "vague" term is the challenge. That challenge goes beyond, painting, music, sculpture...into our virtual world, where new concepts (or transformation of existing concepts) of what comprise art art are emerging.
They may or may not. Art is just a concept, and as such it can be applied to practically anything. Framing something as art is like an invitation to view a subject in a new or aesthetic way, where we might appreciate what has been previously taken for granted, see new or renewed meaning, or perhaps generally expand our conception of a subject (as I think you mentioned).
I'd say it's going beyond the rational but practical rationality is actually rather irrational, I'm beginning to understand.
I encountered a new set of notions out of the post-modern camp a few days ago (i guess it's not all bad!) which describes the essence of art almost exactly as you've formulated it.
Russian "Defamiliarization" (ostranenie), German "Distancing Effect" (Verfremdungseffekt), and Derrida's "Difference" (Différance).
It takes what is real by virtue of familiarity and presents it in an unfamiliar, magnified, or distorted way, thereby causing new perceptions and perspectives to emerge in the consumer.
This may not be the precise definition covering all "art", but it's a good start toward defining "good art".
A good work of art is designed to induce a reaction within the individuals who observe it. You can love or hate the work art. The induced reaction is important. Art is a way to trigger the unconscious mind of the audience.
The creative energy for the art, comes from the unconscious mind of the artist. The good artist builds a bridge between his unconscious mind, and the unconscious minds of his audience. The unconscious minds of the great artists, anticipate the future, and can convey this vision to others though the art; unconscious bridge to the future.
For example, art during the industrial revolution, changed from photographic clarity, to the fuzziness of impressionist art. This change paralleled the shift in culture away from the historical farm life, based on centuries of pastoral repetition, to unprecedented factory life. The industrial revolution had an impact on human nature, making things fuzzy. The art movement anticipated this change.
Abstract art, which came next, anticipated other changes in culture, made by theory like relativity and uncertainty, where cause and affect became distorted; determinate versus indeterminate. The artists unconsciously sensed and/or anticipated the change, and helped make it conscious.
Idol worship has a connection to the unconscious art affect. The golden calf was a good work of art, that had power over some people, due to its unconscious induction affect. The ancients would project the induced feelings, as coming from the work of art; god in the art. The induced affect was inside them all the time. The art made it conscious. A new car has an art affect, in the sense it induces a feeling of importance.
One modern artist from the 1950's. who was prophetic of now was Escher. He has a work of art called Relativity. In this work of art, there are people climbing staircases at all angles. If you look at any particular staircase, the reference appears fine, by itself. However, if you look at the bigger picture, all the references cannot exist at the same time.
The trick behinds this affect is connected to creating an illusion of 3-D, using 2-D; flat paper. A 3-D illusion can exist in 2-D, but it will not exist in actual 3-D. I can draw a ball on a flat piece of paper to look 3-D. But it you touch it with your finger you can feel it is flat. It can fool the eye but not touch.
Logic is based on cause and affect, which is 2-D (x,y). Logic can create spatial illusions which look 3-D to the eye, but which do not exist in 3-D. One such affect is connected to special relativity. Einstein defined three parameters in special relativity; relativistic distance, time and mass. However, most of physics only uses space-time and ignores relativistic mass. This downgrade from 3-D to 2-D, allows 3-D illusions in 2-D. If you include mass; energy balance, the illusions are easier to see.
If it is so, why does art play that role? Why is art the way it is?
The same way and role that the peacock's feather plays. It encourages mates to choose them because it shows fitness.
Art is everywhere, even if it is not called art. The new 2018 summer clothing styles are a type of art. This is art you wear. Good art induces an emotional reaction. New clothes induce positive feelings. Designer clothes give the best buzz. The former is individual and the latter is collective.
The golden calf affect; god in the art, can induce unconscious projection, so one feels better if surrounded by the god in the clothes. The tribal hunter will wear the skin of his prey, to acquire the spirit of the animal; golden calf affect. The skin is not a god, but a trigger to what is inside of us.
The reason this affects works is the unconscious mind is the original instinctive mind. Modern humans have become unnatural due to willpower and choice. There is a sense or need to return to its roots. Art brings us there, while culture swings the pendulum the other way. Fashion needs to reboot constantly to trigger the feelings since they are temporary.
Some art brings the individual back to their roots for a short time, while other art brings the herd back, or warns the herd that there are hazards to instinct, ahead.
Shoes are a common female art induction. Shoes fit on the feet, which touch the earth. Shoes are connected to natural instinct; of the earth. The problem is the golden calf induction is not permanent, but needs to be rebooted constantly; new shoes, since culture pulls women the other way, away from natural instinct. The shoe girl is often the cultural girl, not the natural girl. She has more unconscious potential for the trigger. | 2019-04-23T04:09:00 | https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/3399/the-goal-of-art |

ethan walker : ...Happy Christmas!
For this post I thought just uploading a few photos from our recent days out would be best. I do love to read about peoples ascents and thoughts but I equally love sometimes to just browse through pictures. Enjoy!
I should have some cool video to share with you all soon too, so keep an eye out for that! | 2019-04-24T14:05:43 | http://ethanwalkerclimbing.blogspot.com/2013/12/happy-christmas.html |
It appears 2018 will be a deadly year for whales in the northern hemisphere, as both Norway and Iceland have issued their highest whaling quotas in years. In all, as many as 1,287 minke whales could be killed by Norway, while the Icelandic government has issued a base quota of 217 minke whales and 209 endangered fin whales. These quotas have not been approved by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and defy the intent of the IWC global moratorium on commercial whaling.
The Norwegian whaling season opened the first week of April. Some 15 vessels requested a whaling permit—up from 11 last year, when 432 minke whales were killed. Two vessels in particular, the Reinebuen and the Kato, were responsible for the greatest number of whales taken in 2017; both are engaged in exporting whale products to Japan. As domestic demand for whale products in Norway continues to wane, Norwegian whalers are struggling to turn a profit, and even the companies linked to the two whaling leaders have seen falling income in recent years.
Until recently, Hvalur held over 34 percent of HB Grandi’s shares and Hvalur CEO Kristjan Loftsson chaired the seafood company’s board of directors. Two days following the announcement that Hvalur would resume fin whaling came the news that Hvalur would be selling its HB Grandi shares to another company. HB Grandi CEO Vilhjálmur Vilhjálmsson admitted to AWI that the sale of the shares were indeed due to Hvalur’s decision to resume fin whaling, and that marketing seafood had become difficult due to the whaling issue. At its May 4 annual meeting, HB Grandi shareholders voted for a new board of directors. For the first time since the company was founded in 2004, Kristjan Loftsson was not elected.
The whaling issue has also been raised in the Icelandic Parliament, and the prime minister has indicated her intention to thoroughly review whaling’s impact on Iceland’s image and economy prior to renewing any quotas in 2019. | 2019-04-26T14:53:19 | https://awionline.org/awi-quarterly/summer-2018/norway-and-iceland-resume-whale-slaughter |

Alex Arndt is a creative soul constantly working to make music. With his new project, the Red Couch Sessions on YouTube, Arndt is rapidly growing his reach and giving his fans a chance to have a part in his craft. Continue reading to learn more about Alex Arndt and the Red Couch Sessions.
Before we start talking about the Red Couch Sessions, can you share a little bit about yourself and your background in music?
Sure! Thanks for asking. Music has always been flowing through me. I remember being of preschool age and asking my parents if I could have sleepovers with friends whom I vibed with. Fortunately, I had some young music-minded friends who would appreciate creating songs with me. I had two tape recorders and I would record us singing on one and then play it back and record us on the other one singing over our previous recording. Basically, I was multi tracking between the two tape recorders until I had one big static mess of a song. This is how I learned to harmonize. I can’t imagine being a musician 100 years ago with nothing to record on! Around this age is also when I developed my vision for who I dreamed to be when I grew up. Listening to my favorite songs on the radio, I would imagine that I was the singer and songwriter.
From grade school through college, I was always in the choir. This definitely played a role in strengthening my voice. It wasn’t until the summer after my freshman year of college at Virginia Tech that my sister decided to give me her guitar. I was tinkering around on it one day and she said I could take it with me to school, because she never used it. Since that moment, I was never without a guitar by my side, and I knew music was my calling in life. I started writing meaningful songs and formed a band called “Drive” at Virginia Tech. After graduating, I packed up my car and drove to California. I went through quite a few bands and styles while living in San Diego and then eventually moving to the Los Angeles area, where I currently reside.
I met another songwriter, Kay Glynn, at Durango Songwriter’s Expo in 2007. We instantly hit it off and within a few years had written and recorded a couple of albums, various EP’s, and singles together. One of these albums was called “Sonic Paradigm” and put out under the name “Alex Arndt & The Sonic Universe.” It was Kay who assisted me in coming up with the name, “The Sonic Universe.” At one point, I was disheartened because just as I was about to establish the moniker, I realized there was a comic book put out by Sega called, “Sonic Universe.” I spoke with three different entertainment attorneys. They all told me basically the same thing: that it was ridiculous even to try and use that name and even more so to look into trademarking it. One morning, after seeing me so down about this matter, Kay asked me why I don’t simply try asking Sega myself? Why not give it a shot? So, I got in touch with Sega of America’s legal team. I spoke with headquarters in Japan and they informed me, they had no issue and there was no conflict with me trademarking “The Sonic Universe.” They loved my music and wanted me to keep them updated on my whereabouts.
Since that time, I’ve performed around the world either as “Alex Arndt” or “Alex Arndt (of The Sonic Universe)” or with a full band as “Alex Arndt and The Sonic Universe” or in the recent years just as “The Sonic Universe.” I love performing with a full band — drums, lead guitar, bass, keys, and beats and sound effects which I sync up with the rest of the music. At one time I was working with one of the lighting techs who also worked with Pink Floyd. In this next phase of The Sonic Universe, I plan to get guys like this to help transform the environment at our shows. I aim to give the audience an experience which raises their vibration through the tones we play and the imagery they see on our screens.
So, what exactly are the Red Couch Sessions? What is the concept of it, and what makes these different from the typical cover songs found on YouTube?
Red Couch Sessions is me, Alex Arndt performing songs, which viewers from around the world have requested me to play. I perform them organic and stripped down. It’s usually just me singing and playing my acoustic guitar. Most of the popular covers on YouTube are either very polished recordings with a multi-instrumental production and the singer’s voice is layered into the arrangement just like a song on the radio OR if it’s someone playing acoustically, the sound and video isn’t usually of the highest quality. I’m a big of fan of some of these YouTubers.
One of the things that distinguishes me and my brand is that I’m performing acoustically with high quality sound and video production. I’ve been a music artist for many years and during that time, I’ve acquired the skills and equipment to record, film, and edit my productions so they come across professional. What many people don’t know is that I’m getting the crisp 4K video quality using only Apple iPhone’s 7+ cameras at this point.
Another distinguishing factor is that I’m not just performing songs on YouTube, I’m taking my fans’ requests. A fan can place a song request order on thesonicuniverse.com for a fee. Every song I’ve performed on Red Couch Sessions is a specific request from a person or group. On the order form, fans can tell me which version(s) of the song they like the most and what the song means to them. Also, they can share with me their business or vision and I will promote them briefly on that Red Couch Sessions episode during the ending when I talk about the request.
The last minute or two of an episode gives me a chance to speak about the song request and also promote any upcoming events or tours. I also have a new sponsorship segment in the works where brand related companies get featured in the program. Also, in the future, Red Couch Sessions is going to be expanding into more than just my “Requests Only” segment. I am going to be interviewing other artists and personalities on the red couch and performing together with one or more people. Once I have the proper studio and equipment, it could turn into a YouTube Live broadcast. This is actually just scratching the surface of what’s in store.
You cover fan favorites like last month’s song of choice, which was Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Do you cover your personal favorites too, or is this strictly fan driven?
It is strictly order based. Every order is placed through my website. (Direct link to order form). I reserve the right to refund a fan if I chose to not cover a request. I have been lucky I guess so far because most of the song requests have also been personal favorites! I think my fans tend to know what I like and what I sound good playing, which is pretty awesome.
You’ve really got a great voice. I know you have original songs out there, so can you tell me about your own music?
Aww, thank you, I appreciate that. Yes, actually, performing my original music is what I like to do best. My all time favorite thing to do is the songwriting itself. I have to be inspired to write. When I’m in the zone, I feel as though I’m a receiver of transmissions that are out there in the cosmos. I’m just able to tap into them and be a vessel or conduit for them. They flow right through me. As I was saying before, I don’t know what I’d do without modern technology. Because these melodies and progressions just write themselves, if I didn’t have a recording device to capture them as they are coming out, they’d probably just go right back into outer space. Most of my material is of some type of spiritual nature. Even if it’s about romantic love, it’s still usually deeper than a surface type of love song.
I have a new release coming out soon. I’ve been working very hard on the production over the past couple years here in the Los Angeles area with a talented producer and artist, Patrick Perfetto. This new music is a combination of Rock, Pop, and EDM. Everything is mastered and ready for release. At this point I’m seeking out the best management and label to make sure it gets released properly and really hits. I’ve also already got an additional album of my best ever songs, which is ready to be produced and taken on the road with my band, The Sonic Universe. It all just needs funding.
Is all of your original work for The Sonic Universe?
The Sonic Universe has been my brand since 2009. A large portion of my original work is for The Sonic Universe, but I also collaborate with other artists and have been asked to write songs for other artists, events, film, and TV. Licensing of my music definitely helps to pay the bills. One of the artists I collaborate with is DJ, singer, and producer Amanda Darling. We’ve combined our vocals and dance music vibe and have performed at some pretty amazing events together including a performance at the Olympic Stadium for Ultra Music Festival in Seoul, Korea. Writing music for other peoples’ objectives, including film and TV can be fun for me and brings out another side of my creativity.
Circling back to the Red Couch Sessions, have you noticed a major growth in your audience and the interaction between fans and yourself since its inception?
Definitely. I think my fans are starting to realize that I’m serious about putting out quality content on a consistent basis. I’ve come to find that most of my fans think I have a pro company or label behind me right now producing and pushing this content. When I tell close friends and fans even within the music industry that my content is completely self produced, they are definitely surprised and amazed. I’ve been seeing a lot more interaction in the most recent episodes and my YouTube subscribers have grown by several thousand since I’ve started the program.
Do you have an idea of what your next couple covers are going to be?
Yes, I do. Requests have come in, but it is not within the scope of Red Couch Sessions for me to talk about the song requests before they actually air. People are welcome to send a note in to [email protected] before they place an order to find out when their potential request will be broadcast.
June 1st was the release date of your newest session. Can you tell me about it?
Yes, I’d be happy to talk about it. This request goes out to a long-time friend, Bonnie Jean and her little girl, Tyla. I met Bonnie during our second year at Virginia Tech. We bonded over our love for our all-time favourite band, Pink Floyd. So, this song is actually a personal favorite of mine. It’s Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.” This band has greatly influenced my own music and concept of what a concert experience can be. I modeled my album, Sonic Paradigm after Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon album, where each song flows into the next and the whole album is one conceptual piece.
Of the sessions you’ve recorded so far, is there one you prefer to show off first when people ask you about them? Essentially, do you have a favorite?
Is there anything I missed that you would like to discuss?
I’m looking forward to my Ireland tour this month (June). It’s my first time going to Ireland. Irish people have always loved my music and now I’m getting to experience their culture! Please check thesonicuniverse.com/tour for more details! Thanks so much for interviewing me. I hope your readers found this content inspiring!

« Are Tiger to Snow Leopard Upgraders Violating the User License?
The Snow Leopard Report: Still Safe From Malware?
The spin about whether or not Mac OS X is susceptible to the malware scourge that has inundated the Windows platform will never stop. Whenever Apple releases a security update for Macs or the iPhone, or when a security researcher breaks into a Mac system, lurid headlines will be written.
Recently, for example, there was a story suggesting that Apple missed out on some serious opportunities to harden Snow Leopard and make it less vulnerable to malware. I won’t go into the specifics. I’m not a security expert and don’t play one on TV. But what Apple has done so far demonstrates they are committed to providing a secure computing environment to Mac users. Indeed, some of the suggestions may require tons of back-end work to deliver, and there’s nothing to say that these additional features can’t be rolled in via maintenance updates before the next major Mac OS X release.
One of notable new feature consists of a basic check of file downloads for potential malware. It wasn’t actually an announced feature or refinement for Snow Leopard, but it didn’t take long for the early adopters to discover it as they downloaded various and sundry stuff online.
At best, though, it’s a bare-bones tool. It will use a database to check against and put up a warning notice. It’s up to you to decide whether to trash the file, and it won’t repair any system damage after the fact. Well, at least it’s a start. I realize the companies that market security software are using it as evidence that Apple is beginning to recognize the potential for a malware problem, and maybe it’s a good idea for you to buy one of those products now and get robust protection.
For the time being, The Night Owl disagrees. You see, it’s not as if there’s a known virus threat for Mac OS X users that’s actually spread far and wide. So far, there have been proofs of concept, and a few mild infections. But a lot of what you’ve read about fits into the Trojan Horse category, where you actually have to physically download a file and launch it to allow it to deliver its payload, whatever that might be.
You’d probably categorize that form of malware as a form of social engineering. The same applies to phishing scams, where you get an email purporting to come from your financial institution, and you are asked to login via a link in the message to fix an account problem. If you do make that mistake, you are taken to a site that is cleverly (or not-so-cleverly) designed to mimic the real site. You enter your username and password and the keyloggers on the site record that information, so that the online criminals can login to the real account and steal your money.
Problems of that sort aren’t restricted to any computing platform. A Linux user can become a victim just as well. Yes, all the major browsers offer some measure of anti-phishing protection. The latest edition of the iPhone version of Safari has it too, but they generally work in the same fashion as anti-malware scanners. They check against a database of known scams, or evidence of suspicious behavior. The criminals, alas, are often a step ahead, so by the time updated databases are available, lots of people may have already become victims.
On a more expansive level, it’s quite true that Microsoft has invested a lot of energy and cash to make Windows less susceptible to malware. Certainly it’s a lot harder to infect a properly updated version of Windows XP, or even a Vista PC, and no doubt Windows 7 will be more secure. But you still have to possess an active security software subscription to protect you, since no operating system is perfect.
For now, Internet criminals take advantage of the fact that tens of millions of homes, and even small business PCs, are not well protected. So they have plenty of potential victims from which to create networks of spambots. Even if a PC owner takes the hint and fixes their computer, there are lots more unwary victims waiting their turn.
Yes, some fear merchants want you to believe that the Mac will soon become a major malware target. Just give it time, as Apple’s market share continues to grow, and you’ll see problems that are equal in scope to those facing Windows users.
What they don’t want to tell you is that Mac OS X is just one of a number of Unix and Linux style operating systems, and they have been out there for decades. The first computer virus was actually created on the Unix platform and you don’t see loads of infections on those ubiquitous Linux-based Web servers, do you?
Yes, there are problems of a different sort, such as the occasional DDOS attacks on sites, but such things happen regardless of computing platform. Even networks with special hardware security devices might occasionally succumb to such onslaughts if sufficiently intense.
But when it comes to regular home and business personal computers, the fact remains that Windows users remain highly vulnerable without protection. Mac users are still relatively safe. The latter situation may worsen over time, but few, except those who have a vested interest in selling bad news, believe the situation will ever become serious on the Mac. That’s not what they want to hear, but it appears to be the truth.
This article was posted on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 at 6:00 PM and is filed under News and tagged with: Internet criminals, Iphone, Linux, Mac Os, Mac Os X, Macintosh, Malware, Microsoft, Microsoft Vista, Microsoft Windows, Operating System, Operating Systems, Safari, Security Software, snow leopard, Unix, Web Servers, Windows 7, Windows Xp.
Your last paragraph hits the nail on the head.
Various Microsoft shills and antivirus vendors will come up with all sorts of lame excuses which boil down to “Macs are only safe because there aren’t many of them”.
I don’t buy the argument for a second, but let’s say that it’s true. What if the ONLY reason Macs were safe today was because they were in the minority?
Does anyone expect Mac OS X to overtake Windows any time soon? If the obscurity argument is correct, Macs will remain safer as long as Macs are in the minority. Since I expect that Macs will be in the minority for as long as I own any computer I buy today, then their logic says that Macs will remain safer for the life of my new computer purchase.
(Again, I don’t believe the argument. If someone develops and releases a virus that affects Macs, it could be devastating and since most Mac users don’t use AV, it could overnight become extremely destructive. I’m simply pointing out the logical consequence of the security through obscurity argument). | 2019-04-23T00:37:17 | https://www.technightowl.com/2009/09/the-snow-leopard-report-still-safe-from-malware/ |
Not all athletes are brickhouse brutes. In fact, many of the most agile ones rarely are.
It’s no different in sports car world and the AMG C43 is no poor man’s C63 - it’s just a different beast that lets you do different things. For a start, it has all-wheel drive and a smaller engine but it’s still pretty quick. And if you’re a modest sort of person, it probably feels a little less brash.
This updated AMG C43 is part of Mercedes’ mid-life update to its top-selling C-Class range, and along with some tricky new tech the big news is that every model gets a revised or entirely new engine.
This baby AMG gets larger turbos boosting power by 17kW to produce a total output of 287kW and 520Nm. The engine is otherwise the same 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol motor mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4matic all-wheel drive.
The C-Class’ mid-life update looks largely familiar outside but incredibly over 50 per cent of vehicle components have been changed – many of those underneath the nose. While all variants get new-look LED headlamps the AMG gets special multibeam lights with automatic adjusting high beam that illuminates 500m in front of the car, effectively seeing ‘around’ other traffic.
Distinguishing itself further apart are new 19-inch Aero AMG alloy wheels but otherwise it really is a light nip and tuck outside with some extra bits of AMG flair.
Interior comfort is unchanged and the C43 carries on its AMG-exclusive trim with black leather and red stitching and seatbelts. But tech gets a major overhaul and the traditional analogue binnacle dial has been replaced with a tidy 12.3-inch digital instrument display not unlike Audi’s stalwart virtual cockpit.
The infotainment system has been updated to a new slimline 10.25-inch unit and the steering wheel is the latest touch pro with touch-sensitive input and buttons for adaptive cruise control, but it doesn’t get MBUX like the upcoming A-Class due to launch later this year.
The C43 comes standard with the latest full driver assistance package which includes automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning and now gains active steering assist and active lane change trickled down from the larger E- and S-Class. Both add firmer automatic steering that can perform greater manoeuvres - active lane change will automatically change lanes while active steer uses map data to slow the car for more accurate unassisted cornering.
A new full-colour heads-up display is also available though not yet confirmed as standard spec for the new C43 when it arrives here in August.
Pricing will be slightly higher above the current sedan’s starting price of $102,611. It will still also be available in coupe, wagon and convertible format.
The C43 doesn’t feel any less special inside and it gets the hallmark AMG badge etched into steel on the new steering wheel. The wheel feels nice too, with aggressive Alcantara grips at 9 and 3 o’clock and a noon marker for steering wheel position when going hard.
The seats are hugging – with optional pneumatic bolstering - and finished in black leather trim with red stitching that matches elements across the curvaceous and unchanged dash design, and there are further aluminium and carbon-fibre trims dotted around the cabin.
As far as ergonomic and intuitive command dial placement, everything feels in the right place, including the new touch sensitive steering wheel that can command either the infotainment or the new 12.3-inch instrument display.
The new display replaces the old binnacle dial setup across the range and the AMG version gets its own special screens including G-force meter, race timer and engine data. It can also show partial sat nav mapping and has a semi-customisable layout in its different sport, classic and progressive modes.
On the flip side to its sporty theme are new additions including 64-colour ambient lighting and Mercedes’ energizing comfort that aim to calm occupants and tailor ambience from a choice of lighting and background music.
The optional Burmester sound system is also good – powerful and punchy and easy to use – and connectivity to infotainment includes Apple CarPlay.
Space upfront is comfortable and similar in the rear of the sedan, but the coupe and convertible is a bit of squeeze for rear-seat passengers that sacrifice leg room for sleek looks.
Despite being a smaller engine than we’re used to seeing in the C63, the 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo is energetic and has been wound up further than before. Two larger turbos increase power by 17kW to 287kW while torque remains unchanged at 520Nm available from 2500-5000rpm.
There’s no urgent rush of power in the mid-range but power delivery is linear and provides for a sub 5.0 second 0-100km/h dash in either sedan or wagon format.
The nine-speed automatic has more than enough gears but can be overridden using manual-select mode via the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, holding onto gear at redline and flashing a red haze across the bottom of the new digital driver display when the gear is about to ring out. It’s a simple solution that works well.
While the V6 engine isn’t going to make the wolves howl it does have a mean grumble around town and develops an eager rasp above 3500rpm.
The transmission is mapped to shift faster than before too and although this isn’t a hand-built engine from the crack team at Affalterbach it sure is quick. Top speed is electronically limited at 250km/h and we had no problem eclipsing that on German Autobahns before a quick blast through winding forest roads.
Riding on AMG’s own adjustable damper setup the C43 rides flat with minimal body roll in sports mode but independent adjustment on each wheel help it from feeling overly firm and skittish. But even in comfort mode it’s still firmer than passive and air suspension C-Class models that blend comfort over dynamics.
However, it’s a well-balanced tool on twisting corners that can make the most of its power and torque thanks to a 31 per cent front and 69 per cent rear bias all-wheel drive system. It’s very hard to unsettle the C43 and while it doesn’t have the hoon-like oversteer of bigger muscle cars it grips the road like a cat up a tree.
The steering is responsive and sharp and has a speed-sensitive variable ratio rack – at high speed there’s little assistance while at lower speed its more rapid to turn in. Braking is equally well balanced and hard to falter even when being pushed downhill.
While agile, the C43 isn’t a traditional intimidating AMG muscle car, but it’s also more than a price-point sports car. With a unique blend of linear power and all-wheel drive grip this is one of the most easily accessible performance cars in the German performance arm’s garage, with tidy manners but just enough gristle.

This came to my attention today, and even tho I may have actually posted it here a couple of years ago (which is possible but I haven’t checked), I feel it is good to go again :) Just 5 1/2 minutes of someone’s take re: how our paradigm will change. Sometimes a quick reminder can refresh a weary soul.
And while I’m here I’m feeling moved to thank you for your energetic presence here at Whitehawk’s cybernest. I hope at least some of your experience here is of service to your soul’s voyage.
Greeting from the starship Athabantian.
My name is Taugth. I am a celestial of the highest order and am androgynous. I am currently stationed aboard this exquisite Andromedan vessel along with several thousand other beings. Although this starship is close enough for you to see with your human vision, it is currently cloaked from your view.
Transforming Earth humans out of this fear-based paradigm is a goal set by Creator. It is to be implemented by celestials, your star brothers and sisters, and higher conscious Earth humans. There is no one path that will enable everyone to make this transition, so many are available.
November 11th 2011 is of great significance, as an enormous boost will be applied to your individual energy fields to mightily assist you with the process of your awakening. Many on earth who have been focusing purely on the physical or material environment that the illusion provides will receive a sharp shock or jolt that will bring to their awareness a realization that there is much more to life than they had thought. There will be a large increase in the numbers of people embarking on spiritual quests as they experience “aha!” moments, giving them a sudden intuitive sense of the vast realms that exist beyond the physical and that, until now, they had thought were the unreal imaginings of the mentally unbalanced.
When their surprise eases they will experience a feeling of pure joy and excitement as they discover a hidden inner knowing that tells them that life is far, far more than a few decades of bodily existence followed by death and extinction.
This realization, occurring to so many, will bring with it an understanding that Love is their true nature, and that fear and doubt are meaningless concepts that they can happily release. To release your fears is enormously freeing and invigorating. This does not mean that you suddenly feel you have the power and ability to overcome or deal with an enemy, or any disaster or catastrophe in which you might become caught up; what it does mean is that you have accepted yourself exactly as you are, without qualification, and with no need to present yourself to others from behind a mask of competence, diplomacy, humility, or power which hides the fearful and inadequate real you that you fear you are. You just are, no “ifs, ands, or buts,” and because you just are, no mask, defense, or deceit is needed, ever.

I am sure most of you are feeling it already, but we are in a pretty profound passage this week and so I have been asked by the Pleiadian High Council… on what they call a special mission of service… to address some things that they feel we would benefit from knowing. Please bear with me as I have not fully integrated this information…which I try to do (at least a little) before I post an update…however, there is a sense of urgency behind this that is forcing me to wing-it. As always, the energy of the article is more important than the words that are preceding our mental comprehension of it all.
If I could sum up this entire update in one word, it would be: HUNKERDOWNANDGROUND.
November is an extremely intense, fast paced, action-packed month full of unprecedented change and huge breakthroughs. The scope of the breakthroughs we experience will be determined by how True we are. If we are resistant to change, it may be a difficult month. Many people are scared by the vast scale of the changes because it looks like everything is breaking apart and it is. But if we embrace these changes that make space for the entrance of the New and True, it will be immensely exciting.
On November 11, 2011, we will experience a major RESET as the massive Wheels within Wheels click into position, one after another. This RESET represents a Mua of immense proportions. (A Mua is the beginning of a major cycle.) This RESET opens something totally new and sets off a series of triggers that will create a series of Major Intersections of RIGHT TIME – RIGHT PLACE.
11:11:11 is the moment that all our beings have been waiting for, for ages!!! It is an awesome event that will anchor something much huger that we can even imagine.
As some might relate, being miserable these days comes with wagging fingers (real or imagined), pointing and blaming for not adhering to the “love ‘n light” frequencies well enough. Seems most people around me are just perky and happy as can be, thrilled to be dancing in the new energies upon us (part of me wonders if they might be newbie souls, who don’t have hundreds of lifetimes worth of karma to clear NOW) while I, meanwhile, find myself dealing with a dark vapor I haven’t seen/felt in a long time. | 2019-04-24T13:55:08 | https://wingingwithwhitehawk.wordpress.com/2011/11/ |
Salford’s BAM Construction office has secured two school projects to the south of Manchester and is in line for a third in Tameside under an agreement with the Education and Skills Funding Agency and the multi-academy Laurus Trust.
The firm has just started work on the first contract consisting of building Cheadle Hulme primary school and an adjacent secondary school, Laurus Cheadle Hulme.
BAM is also developing the design for Didsbury High School, which will be a new high school and sixth form for 1,350 students.
If planning, which is due to be lodged shortly, is successful, work will start on site around May next year, with the new school due to open in September 2019.
A further school, Laurus Ryecroft based in Tameside, forms part of the batch with Laurus Didsbury, encompassing a 1,350 place secondary school and sixth form.
The ESFA is currently working with BAM to develop the initial proposals. BAM has partnered the same design team as for Laurus Didsbury. This includes architect is Pozzoni and Ramboll on building services design. Mace is providing technical advice for both the schemes.
All schools together are expected to be worth around £60m, subject to finalising contracts on the two projects in design.
Ian Fleming, Regional Director for BAM Construction, said: “Education is a key market for BAM. Our track record is excellent, and our highly collaborative approach works well for schools.
BAM has just been appointed to both of the high value lots for the new ESFA national education framework running from 2017 to 2021. | 2019-04-19T11:17:32 | http://www.constructionenquirer.com/2017/12/19/bam-wins-60m-north-west-schools-hat-trick/ |

Many take a loan to finance their purchases. It can be a financial leverage, a perfect tool to create holdings provided one is careful that indebtedness is only a transitional phase before making the capital gains on one's purchase. Common sense imposes to evaluate carefully the limits of one's investment capacities such as having noted the various existing loans before committing to a real estate operation with credits.
The bridging loan or loan for purchase and resale is offered to the owners who wish to purchase a new property before having sold the property put on the market.
Taking a bridging loan offers the option to receive from the bank an advance on the future proceeds of the sale. The funds released thanks to this transition loan on short term enable the purchaser to have the time necessary to sell his/her previous lodging without having to sell it off cheap. Moreover, it is generally difficult to have the dates of purchase and sale converge.
This formula suits the purchase of a new property with a value inferior or equal to the property sold. In this case, the bank offers a "dry" bridge, that is to say a simple financial advance reimbursed by the sale of one's own property. Here, the advance shall thus be on short term: one year maximum and the borrower only reimburses monthly the interest of the loan.
If the amount of the bridging loan is not sufficient to finance the purchase of a new housing, the borrower thus has to cover the remaining amount by a property loan. As long as the first property is not sold, the borrower reimburses the loan interest every month of his bridging loan, in addition to the monthly instalments of his usual property loan. It is thus possible in this case to benefit from a differed payment: here, the interests are not paid back monthly but are capitalized. They thus increase progressively the amount to reimburse at the time of the sale of the property. The instalment thus much relieved but the total amount to pay back in the end shall be heavier by as much as the sale is executed late.
3 - The Bridging loan with a "total allowance"
This option is granted for a term of 24 months. In this case, the borrower does not reimburse the loan interests during the first 12 months. If he/she sells his/her property before then, he/she pays back the capital of the bridging loan and the interest for the past months. If the borrower has not sold his/her property in the first 12 months of the bridging loan, from the thirteenth month he/she pays back the loan's interest as well as those of the first month.
The redeemable credit is the most common loan solution in France with individuals to finance properties. As its name suggests, it enable each taker of this sort of loans to pay amortize at the same time the capital owed as well as the interest in the same instalment.
As time goes by on your loan, the lower is the share of the interest, leaving space for more amortization of capital. We commonly say that we pay the interest of the loan during the first part and the capital in the second part. On each instalment we owe less and less capital to the bank, we "amortize" thus the property this way.
However, depending on the terms of the contract, the instalments can also be decreasing or increasing if the instalments are flexible. Every year, on the anniversary date of the credit, the instalment can vary by more or less 30% depending on the wish and the capacity of the client.
Finally, the interest rate of the redeemable credit can be fixed or flexible. If it is fixed, the borrower will lose out if the rates decrease and win if they increase. More often the borrowers favour the fixed rate for more safety. The flexible interest rate consists in a reference index and a margin. It is in general more attractive but revisable.
During the whole term of the loan, the borrower only pays back monthly the interest of the loan or this capital borrowed is only reimbursed that the end of the loan, in one instalment.
The bank verifies the borrower's capacity of repayment imposing him a monthly payment on a savings product (a life insurance for example) for a pre-determined amount. This saving progressively supplied up to the capital borrowed represents a guarantee of reimbursement at the maturity of the loan. The main advantage of this loan is on a tax point of view: the investor can deduct the loan interests from his income, the total amount of which is higher than for a classic loan.
Do not forget that, to take a property loan, the bank demands that the borrower takes a life insurance covering death and invalidity to cover its instalments and the capital borrowed. Despite its cost, this security offers some advantages: if the borrower dies during the term of the loan or were to become an invalid, this life insurance will reimburse the bank. Himself or his heirs will then have a house fully paid and a life insurance subject to the regime of the transfer outside of the inheritance. In case of a partial invalidity, the coverage will be in proportion with the level of incapacity.

The symptoms caused by vasculitis will depend on the organs involved. However, some general symptoms include: tiredness, weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fever. Unfortunately many of these symptoms apply to other diseases which make it difficult to diagnose vasculitis.
Kidneys/Renal - initially no symptoms. However urine dipstick tests will indicate problems with minute amounts of blood or protein in the urine. Occasionally blood may be seen in the urine (red or brown urine) or the amount of urine produced may suddenly reduce or stop altogether. | 2019-04-20T19:11:14 | http://www.vasculitis.org.uk/about-vasculitis/symptoms |
