Masa Inokuchi is a violin-maker and craftsperson. With dreams of using Canadian maple for his violin making, Inokuchi immigrated to Canada with his wife Shoko and three children in 1968. During the years it took to prepare himself towards a career in violin making (which took more than ten years because tone woods need to be aged more than ten years), Inokuchi engaged in the business of making Japanese style interior décor items like shoji screens and tea ceremony rooms for private homes and restaurants.
In the past 50 years that Inokuchi has been making instruments, he has made over 300 including guitars, violins, violas and cellos. Many of his instruments are played by professionals and enthusiasts in Canada, USA, Japan, U.K. and Europe. In the past 5 years, Inokuchi has been working on building an airplane. | 2019-04-26T09:48:11Z | http://japanesecanadianartists.com/artist/masa-inokuchi/ |

Waugh Bag ReportHome » Blog » Waugh’s Bag, Volume Eight, Issue Four!
Despite being on borrowed time, the Netflix/Marvel Studios train has kept chugging along. After the cancellation of Daredevil, it’s all but assured that Frank Castle is next on the chopping block, but he’s not going down without a fight, and if there’s two things to take away from The Punisher‘s second season, it’s this: Frank Castle knows how to fight, and Jon Bernthal can hold together a bunch of disparate storylines and keep you still intrigued, even if the end result isn’t quite up to par with what he deserves.
Picking up a few months after the end of the first season, The Punisher’s sophomore outing finds Frank Castle assuming a new identity as “Peter” in rural Michigan. He’s set aside his life of violence, preferring to spend his time at the bar, winding down with “one beer at a time”. But like everything in Frank Castle’s life, violence has a way of finding him, and after coming across a young transient girl (Giorgia Whigham) who runs afoul of some very dangerous men, Frank finds himself on a journey that takes him back to New York City, and in the crosshairs of Billy Russo, the man who killed his family and is now permanently scarred physically and mentally by his last run in with The Punisher.
Let’s get this out of the way first: this season is a bit of a mess. When it was first announced that this season would feature not only Jigsaw (who was set up at the end of last season), and a new villain that’s part of a religious cult, I assumed that this season would follow a similar format of Daredevil‘s second season, with a few episodes devoted to one storyline, and the remainder focusing on the other. However, the show-runners behind this season try to cram both storylines together, and it doesn’t really work all that well. John Pilgrim (Josh Stewart) starts off as a pretty interesting villain who could challenge America’s views on religion (much like how The Punisher is a statement on America’s view on guns), but once Frank makes his was back to New York, Pilgrim is largely an afterthought, only appearing a handful of times. Billy Russo fares better, mainly because Ben Barnes does a good job portraying him, even if the character should really look a lot more gross after the injuries he sustained last season.
Speaking of Russo, the decision to have Jigsaw’s scars be mental as well as physical makes sense, but the way the character looks makes it seem less like it was a decision made by the show-runners before they started filming, and more like one made when actor Ben Barnes decided he didn’t want to be covered in make up. That being said, Barnes actually makes Russo a little sympathetic at first, as the trauma from his facial scars and fight with Frank Castle have left him with short term memory loss. However, once he remembers what happened to him (and why it happened), Russo quickly goes back on the hunt for Castle, with the help of his psychiatrist turned lover, Dr. Dumont (Floriana Lima).
One of the frustrating aspects of this season actually centers around Dr. Dumont. The fact that this seasoned professional is not only attracted to her patient, but is willing to upend her life to be with him and his criminal empire is pretty absurd, and just seemed like the writers taking the cheapest (and laziest) way out. There’s no real explanation for why a doctor who’s seen hundreds of patients would be willing to change out her life for Russo, and it’s easily the weakest parts of the season.
While there’s some definite narrative flaws with The Punisher‘s second season, Jon Bernthal remains consistent throughout. I’ve been a fan of his since the first season of The Walking Dead, and now in his third time out playing Frank Castle, it’s safe to say he’s the best live-action take on the character ever. His casting as the character will go down as one of the best in the entire superhero genre. Bernthal is able to find the small nuggets of humanity that still exist within Frank Castle, and those are showcased really effectively in his scenes with Amy, the teenage girl he rescues from John Pilgrim’s crew, and with Karen Page (Deborah Ann-Wol) in her obligatory cameo episode. However, he also doesn’t shy away from the fact that at his core, Frank Castle is good at one thing: killing, and when he gets into rage mode, you better clear out, cause it’s going to get BLOODY.
More so than the first season, Punisher features some absurdly violent action sequences. Numerous times I winced and audibly gasped at what I was seeing with my own eyes, and I have a pretty high tolerance for gore. The action sequences are well choreographed and pretty inventive, the highlight being Frank taking on a bunch of giant Russians in a gym in the fifth episode. Trust me, uou’ll never look at gym equipment quite the same way again.
There’s a high likelihood that this will be the final season for The Punisher, and I’d love to say that it would serve like a good send off like Daredevil‘s third season was. Unfortunately that’s not quite the case here, as the series flip-flops antagonists’ importance almost on an episode by episode basis. And yet, there are plenty of fantastic moments throughout the season. In contrast to the binge-culture that Netflix has created and cultivated, this season may have benefitted from not being released all at once, where character motivations and plot changes are more noticeable than when you have a week to take it all in. But as it stands right now, The Punisher’s sophomore season set up a lot of interesting ideas, but doesn’t have the time to really dive into them. Yet it’s kept afloat thanks to some solid performances from Ben Barnes and Jon Bernthal, and by showcasing this controversial character in a way that’s not only intelligent, but makes you rethink the character as well.

What is going on at Guantanamo Bay? While the Bush administration has made a few missteps in its war on terrorism, its decision to send some captured Taliban and Al Qaeda members to the U.S. naval base in Cuba--and its refusal to grant them prisoner-of-war (POW) status--has become a public relations fiasco. "The U.S. is placing these people in legal limbo," complains Amnesty International. "They deny they are prisoners of war, while at the same time failing to provide them with the most basic protections of any person deprived of their liberty." Even the British are upset. "It is very important for those people to be held according to the principles of international law," British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has said of the Guantanamo prisoners. "[T]hat is the way in which one can maintain the moral ascendancy here, and the reverse is also true."
Criticisms of the Guantanamo Bay policy fall into four categories--none of them convincing. The first concerns allegations of actual mistreatment. After captured Taliban and Al Qaeda members first began arriving in Guantanamo on January 11, the Pentagon released photos of the prisoners in shackles and blacked-out goggles; cries of "inhumanity" quickly followed. The British newspaper The Independent likened Guantanamo Bay to a concentration camp; the Mail on Sunday tabloid ran the headline "TORTURED." But in fact, as has since become evident, the conditions at Guantanamo are far from inhumane. The pictures that sparked the outrage were taken shortly after the prisoners' arrival, while they were in transit to their cells--and most likely to revolt. Once the inmates settled in, the goggles and shackles were removed. Moreover, the prisoners are entitled to hot showers, prayer mats, and three meals per day. They also receive medical care. (One prisoner even underwent surgery for painful glaucoma resulting from an injury sustained five years ago.) Little wonder then that Taliban being kept in the Shibergan prison in Afghanistan recently shouted to an Associated Press reporter, "We want to go to an American prison!"
The second criticism focuses on international law. Although the United States may be treating the prisoners humanely, some are troubled that the prisoners have not all been officially afforded the protections offered by the 1949 Third Geneva Convention. But the full range of Geneva Convention privileges belong only to "lawful combatants" who, among other requirements, have a "fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance" and conduct "their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war." These criteria clearly don't apply to members of Al Qaeda, and arguably not to members of the Taliban either. Nonetheless, President Bush recently decided that the Convention will in general terms apply to captured Taliban members at Guantanamo, but not to captured Al Qaeda. Yet neither group will be afforded POW status. (As POWs, the prisoners would be entitled to automatic repatriation to their home countries when the conflict ended.) This compromise has not satisfied the International Committee of the Red Cross (icrc), which maintains that the Geneva Conventions require that in cases of doubt a "competent tribunal" decide whether captives are entitled to POW status. But the icrc is not the only arbiter of what the Convention entails; other legal scholars argue that the Convention mandates a competent tribunal only when fact-specific questions of an individual's status are at issue, such as in instances of deserters or those who have lost their identity cards. "If you stipulate that these detainees are members of the Taliban and Al Qaeda," says Ruth Wedgwood, an international law professor at Yale, "then there is no fact-specific question for a tribunal to decide."
The third criticism leveled at American policy is that if the United States does not grant the Taliban and Al Qaeda members POW status, Americans taken prisoner in future conflicts will not be treated in accordance with international law. But even leaving aside the fact that the United States is acting in accordance with international law at Guantanamo, it's hard to imagine a theoretical U.S. adversary that would adhere to international law if only the United States had read the Geneva Convention differently at Guantanamo. Saddam Hussein? The Taliban? A contempt for not only international law but also civilized norms is, after all, the one characteristic most American adversaries share.
The final complaint brings us back to where we started: public relations. Even if the prisoners are being treated humanely, and even if the Bush administration is acting in accordance with international law, some argue that the perception of what's going on at Guantanamo makes the United States look bad. But this criticism essentially asks America to abandon its own moral judgment--presumably in favor of the judgment of those who have opposed the war at every stage. But this is not a public relations war. It is a war. | 2019-04-19T01:10:07Z | https://newrepublic.com/article/66136/prison-terms |
Well we finished up the greens aeration Tuesday, October 14 by the end of the day. All in all the process went very well with the weather cooperating and the staff working hard long hours to complete the aeration portion on Monday evening. The topdressing portion was completed by 4:00 pm on Tuesday and the course was back in quite playable condition. Thanks Guys!
There are many different reasons that we do things here in the Turfcare Department and aeration is no different. Some people ask why we do our aeration late in the fall when the holes wont heal? Others ask why we would do it in the middle of the season when the greens are in great shape? Everyone has answers of their own but I thought I would give a few of my own.
Every season is different. Some summers we may need to aerate in the spring and others late summer yet others fall. If we come out of winter and have damage on greens for instance. We would probably look at a spring aeration not only for compaction and air and water movement but to provide a seed bed for overseeding any of the damaged areas. Sometimes a early spring or late summer aeration would be a great choice so that he turf is actively growing and it provides a good opportunity to have the turf recover.
Why would you aerate late in the fall Heath? Well, the reason that we used this method this year is that we choose not to do a “core”aeration during the summer months. This doesn’t mean we didn’t aerate. It just means I used other methods to get a similar result. Planet Aire slicing, and needle tining are just a couple other methods that were used. We don’t have a huge amount of thatch here at the Country Club and frequent topdressing helps keep that in check along with smoothing the putting surface. I chose to do a fall aeration not only because it needs to be done sometime but at this time it disrupts play very little. I like to have some channels filled with sand during the winter months so that if we have any sort of melting event during the winter there is an area for water to percolate down through the profile hopefully alleviating or minimizing damage caused by ice. In the spring when the turf comes out of dormancy we like to push growth with liquid fertilizers applications and recovery should be quite quick. We now are in a situation where the greens have been aerated and we can look at a long spring with little disruption in play.
A wise turfgrass manager told me one day. “always have a reason for what you do” and aeration is no different. I will not aerate greens just because someone says that it should be done twice a year on May 12 and the August 23. We need to look at all the factors that would cause someone to aerate and we do just that. Compaction,water movement, health of the turf, health of the root system, soil structure, air movement, nutrient uptake too name just a few.
Thanks for understanding that in the Turfcare Department we want the best possible playing conditions for as long as possible and we take aeration as well as all other management practices very seriously in taking care of the health of the turf here at the lovely Red Deer Golf and Country Club. | 2019-04-25T14:16:13Z | https://rdgcc.ca/fall-aeration/ |

In 2010 the Institute of Contemporary Art-Sofia started the annual Christmas shows titled “Museum souvenirs from the none-existing museum of contemporary art”. The tradition goes on with a challenge to the artists to think about art and the gift at the same time; to create small, compact, attractive and accessible objects. To make art works that are souvenirs and souvenir that are art works. Or both in one whole. The main thing about such works is the GIFT.
The Gift is both the title and the theme of the Christmas show this year at the ICA-Sofia. There is a motto – “A Gift is a Gift only when it’s wrapped!” From December 17th to January 12th gifts will be wrapped, many gifts. | 2019-04-20T14:46:01Z | https://ica-sofia.org/en/ica-gallery/exhibitions/item/420-the-gift |
Herron, Alison (2007) It opens a whole new world: older people’s perceptions of the role of the creative arts as leisure in their lives. Research Master thesis, Victoria University.
This thesis reports on an original qualitative study of older people’s perceptions about how they benefited from participating in a creative arts program. The study brought together the research fields of leisure, arts and ageing well to explore the meaning that 10 older people gave to their creative leisure experiences. Narrative data from in-depth interviews were analysed using a qualitative approach. The major finding of this study was that creative activities, particularly group arts activities, can be a powerful mode for delivering leisure benefits to enhance ageing well. Many participants attributed a sense of a new lease of life to the stimulating opportunities they now had for self-expression. This new lease of life resulted from the benefits of heightened enjoyment along with a strengthened sense of life purpose and meaning. Sharing a common interest was identified as vital to enjoyable social interactions and a sense of belonging. The findings of this study indicate that there is certainly scope for the arts, leisure and aged care fields to provide a more stimulating and developmental range of creative programs to benefit older people. Furthermore, this study identified specific facilitating strategies that leisure providers can incorporate into program design to enable older people to reap the potential benefits that creative leisure can bring to their lives. | 2019-04-23T22:04:50Z | http://vuir.vu.edu.au/1487/ |

This is the largest and most controversial topic in philosophy. And I find that I lose pretty much everyone when I try to address it. So I don’t think I can do it in a couple of examples. I can given an analogy between the problems of constructive/intuitional mathematics, the requirements for scientific argument (which are moral constraints actually), the problem of inconstant relations in economics, and the difference between truth and proof. And that forms a basic language for discussion.
Since that conversation requires a pretty exhaustive knowledge of multiple disciplines It seems that the argument is quite hard to make even if done in long form.
The best I can do is state that imagination can only be tested by action – external correspondence. And our understanding of of our actions tested by internal consistency. And the veracity of our internal consistency by our understanding of construction. As such, our logical methods allow us to construct instruments which assist us in testing correspondence, internal consistency, and construction. Albeit, while internal consistency can be expressed in complete terms, neither external correspondence nor construction can be.
Without such instruments to extend our perception, memory, and calculability, we lack the ability of sufficient introspection, and the ability of sufficient external perception, to perceive the internal and external world, at the SCALE of those action that we require for cooperating in large numbers, in a vast division of knowledge and labor – the sum of which constantly reduces the cost in calories and time of the production of goods and services which serve our reproductive interests and perpetuation as a species.
This is why ratio-scientific societies outperform magian and allegorical societies: because the constancy of their efforts in correspondence with physical and social reality allows them to take better advantage of physical reality and to cooperate at scale for the production of goods and services.
So, since the above statements effectively reflect the scientific method, then the scientific method is not constrained to ‘science’ per say, but it is the only method by which we can improve our actions. ergo: the scientific method is ‘the method’ of philosophy.
Now, this does not mean that allegorical language (mysticism, religion, mythology, the narrative) have no pedagogical value. They do because we cannot teach the young any other way. It does not mean that Obscurant language (deception) such as is used by the continentals as a means of maintaining loading and framing, and therefore simply preserving christianity and authoritarianism in new form, is impossible or will not succeed in achieving those desires.
It does mean that achieving those desires through obscurantism, deception, framing other than by means of correspondence, will produce negative economic, social and political consequences, because of their failure to correspond to reality. | 2019-04-24T02:44:07Z | https://propertarianism.com/2014/02/15/metaphysics-vs-science/ |
My word for next year is, as mentioned before, transformation, but how I want to feel is just as important, thanks to Danielle LaPorte. Last night I was pondering the idea, and “lighter” popped into my head. Lighter physically, emotionally… just in every way. Life has become heavy and I want to let that go.
“Comfort” was the next word, and then another popped in, and before I knew it the words from the definition of hygge that I found “comfort, joy, and courage” completed the list. Four simple words that mean so much to me.
And the thing is, by feeling those three words, I’ll feel lighter, too!
Do you use feelings as your guiding light in life? Not in the Law of Attraction way, but just as signposts to help you along your path? What words come to mind for next year?
PS: On Twitter GetGonetheMovi1 posted a response to Ed Solomon’s tweet concerning the correct pronunciation of Happy New Year (I can’t find his tweet now and suspect it was deleted because people took it seriously), and now I can’t get it out of my head. I’ve been adding specific calendars to it, so, Joyous Gregorian Calendar Renewal to you! 🙂 Let’s hope next year is better beyond imagination!
I definitely use feelings and serendipity. I find when I’m open to looking the word appears everywhere.
That’s how my word for 2019 arose. Bloom.
I had that for my word a few years ago!!! | 2019-04-21T06:55:35Z | https://hyggelightwork.com/2018/12/31/in-2019-i-want-to-feel/ |

NEW DELHI/LONDON: India, the world’s top gold consumer, has barely scratched the surface for exchange traded funds (ETFs) and it will be a long haul to tempt buyers clinging to jewellery to switch to rules-ridden paper gold.
Though the country consumes 800 tonnes a year – nearly a fifth of the world’s annual gold supply – in jewellery and physical metal, the funds have attracted investments of less than five tonnes since their listings three months ago.
In contrast, an ETF launched in the US in 2004 attracted investment equal to eight tonnes of gold on the first day and more than 100 tonnes in about a week.
Global gold funds now collectively hold more gold than the Chinese central bank, the world’s tenth-largest holder with 600 tonnes.
Analysts said bad timing and rigid government rules were equally to blame for not winning over more Indian investors.
“It has been launched at the wrong time when gold prices have started dipping. People are sitting with surplus cash, but the volatility has kept investors away,” said Mumbai-based Gnanasekhar Thiagarajan, director of Commtrendz Risk Management.
“Vibrant equity markets have also kept investors away from gold exchange traded funds (ETFs),” he said.
The Mumbai Stock Exchange’s main index surged 47% in 2006 and another 5% this year. Gold rose 24% in 2006 but is only up 1.6% so far this year.
Analysts said investment in Indian gold ETFs was a sure bet, provided investors were willing to hang on for a longer period and shed their desire to buy it physically. The interest was being stymied by lack of aggressive marketing.
“The awareness of this type of investment vehicle is still low. Also, if the ETFs have to reach the rural public, the account opening procedures and documents should be kept simple,” said SI Kannan, analyst with Kotak Commodities.
Mandatory requirements for an income tax identification number made the system difficult for illiterate farmers who buy gold. Rules that prevent commodity firms from giving price guidance were also hampering growth, analysts said.
Analysts said that other issues such as restricting trading in ETFs to Indian stock trading hours prevented investors from taking guidance from global price trends, especially from gold futures in the US.
Stuart Thomas, managing director of US-based World Gold Trust Service, said the poor response was also a result of the structure of the Indian products.
“With the market size of India, with growth in India, with the affinity for gold, I would call those products sub-optimal,” said Thomas, who heads the firm that has launched a gold ETF, which accounts for 75% of gold accumulated by global ETFs.
“It’s really a structural issue more than anything else. I think with the right product in that market with the right structure, you have got the massive offtake there,” he said.
Analysts said the design of the products – only in local currency, controls on imports and exports of gold bars, limitations on the foreign exchange trade and several rules imposed by the equities market regulator – scared investors.
“What has prevented us from really doing something in India is that the current regulations are not favourable for us to roll out our products the way we think they should be,” said Pierre Lassonde, chairman of industry-funded World Gold Council, which has sponsored and promoted several gold ETFs in the world.
Only about a dozen authorised banks and government trading houses are allowed to import and sell gold in India. Shipments of gold bars are banned, but gold jewellery can be exported.
But promoters of Indian ETFs, UTI Asset Management and Benchmark Asset Management, remain optimistic following a pick up in trading, though volumes were still small.
“We have about 10 kg of gold, or 10,000 units being traded every day on the exchange,” said Swati Kulkarni, vice-president of UTI Asset Management. “In May, 5,000 units were being traded.
In two years, I would think it will be a popular product.” Rajan, Mehta, managing director of Benchmark, which launched the first gold ETF in March, said its growth had been steady.
“It is a cultural shift and it takes time. | 2019-04-23T14:33:23Z | http://indianimportnews.blogspot.com/2007/07/indian-investors-stay-away-from-gold.html |

I still live with my family in the West Tamar valley, on a cool climate wine route in a premium tourism destination. We farm, my husband makes sausages and bacon (he's English, he can't help himself), we run guest accommodation, and I write.
Off the side of my desk and when I'm not helping in the farm business, I write for magazines, write content and copy, and help other people edit their manuscripts, usually for books they want to publish themselves. Although the Internet has given people the impression that anyone can write a book, it's not actually true. You need an editor, if you want your book to read in any way professionally. I also assess short stories for people entering competitions.
Most excitingly, the manuscript for my book Apple Island Wife was picked up by independent UK based publisher Unbound in 2017. They're an innovative lot - like a normal publisher, but you have to crowdfund to offset the publishing costs. I did that in 2017 and the book as published in paperback and digital format on 1st November 2018.
Currently I'm working on building my freelance portfolio, and self-publishing some romantic fiction under a separate name, a cook book, an e-book about writing short stories, and two children's books. It's a rich tapestry but thankfully it leaves enough time for Pinot Gris in the evenings. You can read more of my writing on my blog, also called Apple Island Wife.
Do get in touch if there's anything I can help you with, and find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Goodreads.
PS: I changed my mind about Martin Amis when I read his memoir, catchily titled 'Memoir'. Highly recommended. Just in case he's reading this.

Srinagar: Congress on Tuesday promised to review the dreaded Armed Forces Special Powers Act and reduce Army footprints in J&K.
In its manifesto that was released on Tuesday, the Congress said said that Dialogue was the only way forward for the resolution of Kashmir issue. “Dialogue is the only way to understand the aspirations of the people of the 3 regions of Jammu and Kashmir and to find an honourable solution to their issues. We will take that path,” the manifesto states.
“The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and the Disturbed Areas Act in J&K will be reviewed. Suitable changes will be made in the text of the laws to balance the requirements of security and the protection of human rights,” it added.
“We will appoint three interlocutors drawn from civil society to facilitate such talks,” manfesto says.
“We will adopt a two-pronged approach: firstly, uncompromising firmness on the border and ending infiltration; and secondly, absolute fairness in dealing with the demands of the people and winning their hearts and minds.
“Congress promises to review the deployment of armed forces, move more troops to the border to stop infiltration completely, reduce the presence of the Army and CAPFs in the Kashmir Valley, and entrust more responsibility to the J&K police for maintaining law and order.
“The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act and the Disturbed Areas Act in J&K will be reviewed. Suitable changes will be made in the text of the laws to balance the requirements of security and the protection of human rights.
“Building a Union of States that is India is a project of inclusiveness. Jammu & Kashmir and its problems deserve a large-hearted approach that will eschew muscular militarism and legalistic formulations and look for an innovative federal solution. Congress promises to find such a solution through patient dialogue and talks with all stakeholders in the State.
“Congress promises the people of J&K talks without pre-conditions. We will appoint 3 interlocutors drawn from civil society to facilitate such talks.
“We will renew the initiatives taken by the UPA government such as UDAAN, HIMAYAT and UMMEED to impart training in skills and create economic opportunities for the youth of J&K.
“Free and fair elections to the State Legislative Assembly will be held immediately. | 2019-04-21T11:17:35Z | https://thekashmirpress.com/2019/04/02/kashmir-integral-part-of-india-dialogue-only-way-forward-no-changes-to-special-status-congress-in-election-manifesto/ |

There isn’t any shame in having someone else do roofing give you the results you want. Should you’re frightened of heights, haven’t any steadiness or simply plain intimidated by your roof, hire someone else to do the give you the results you want. Roofers could be surprisingly inexpensive, and the associated fee is value the advantages to your psychological well being. Only rent people who are professionals at each step. A contractor ought to be able to give you a dependable quite, for instance. If the method is skilled, likelihood is the work is too.
When hiring a roofer, don’t let price be your solely consideration. Whilst you wish to keep away from paying an excessive amount of, you additionally want to just be sure you do not skimp on different things which can be as important. Make sure you get estimates from just a few completely different contractors and know what is included in every quote. There are several widespread kinds of roofing material, including asphalt, wooden, tile and steel. Each of these has benefits and disadvantages, so you should think about what factors matter essentially the most. For example, wooden lasts for a very long time, however tile has many colours obtainable. It is simple to personalize the look based on your budget.
Roofing supplies are available in many attractive colours. If you are considering a new roof in your house however aren’t certain which colour to decide on, ask the salesperson for advice. Dark colors will appeal to warmth, and that could be an issue should you reside in a warm local weather. Neutral colours are normally a better choice. Do not make modifications to your roof that aren’t lengthy-time period. It’s good to economize, however the additional harm that putting off quality repairs can cause, usually ends up costing more later. Repair any issues promptly and properly to ensure that the problem doesn’t worsen down the road.
In case your roof needs a repair, it’s possible that you may deal with the state of affairs yourself you probably have the data. Nonetheless, it is important that you simply wait for proper climate situations, as roofing could be dangerous work. Working in climate that isn’t dry may end in severe damage or death. Do not work with any roofing contractor that wishes to offer you an estimate over the phone. Each roof is different, and it is best to find somebody that’s prepared to return out and try your specific subject. If someone balks at making a house visit, you should probably rent another person.
Slate roofs can offer you something that a shingle roof cannot, this is an aged and complicated look. Slate roofs have been used for a whole lot of years, as tar shingles haven’t been produced for as long as people have needed roofs. Among the most famous buildings have slate roofs, all having a sophisticated and well timed look. In case you are unable to search out the place your roof is leaking, attempt to not become discouraged. You’ll find the problem, and the usage of a water hose and a buddy system will help. If your home is very massive, communicate through phone to verify every individual in in the spot they need to be. You don’t need water to stream into your own home if nobody’s there to identify the leak!
To stop expensive repairs later, usually examine your roof. Test that there aren’t any missing or broken shingles. Restore these items as needed. Additionally, the flashing needs to be in fine condition and there ought to be no leaks inside your property. You need to verify the roof about as soon as a month to keep away from costly repairs later. Be leery of anyone who randomly knocks in your door, and offers to fix your leaky roof. Unscrupulous con-males will supply to do the work, and most instances run together with your money, without doing any of the work at all. For those who need a roofing job performed, do your analysis and find a roofing contractor that you would be able to trust.
Get a number of quotes from multiple roofing companies. Not all firms are the same. You could see an organization with huge ads in the Yellow Pages, but that doesn’t guarantee the quality of their work. Obtain multiple quotes from various roofing firms and evaluate their details to each other. Try only getting bids from licensed contractors since some states don’t require licenses for roofing contractors.
Don’t select a roofer primarily based solely on price. Positive, cheaper costs could also be good to your pocket, nevertheless it could be an indication that you’re not going to get the standard work you want. Check out the BBB to search out out if a potential roofer is somebody you may belief. Conduct a thorough roof inspection over your entire surface, so you don’t miss any downside areas. The fabric needs to be bonded effectively, and fasteners are secured. If you want to work on a certain space, the material must be clean and dry. Be safe when engaged on the roof to avoid injury.
Put together your house for roof contractors earlier than they get there by marking your sprinkler systems and letting the contractors know the place they will park. | 2019-04-26T09:06:31Z | http://www.homedesignraleigh.tk/ideas-for-maintaining-your-roof-in-tip-prime-shape.html |

Created by Chef Mark Dommen, One Market's Dungeness Crab Cakes have become one of the restaurant's most sought after appetizers. Incorporating scallops with a variety of seasonings and fresh crab meat make the perfect starter for any dinner occasion. It's no surprise Chef Dommen was applauded for serving one of the best dishes at the SF Chefs Food Wine Festival.
One Market uses pasteurized egg yolks for the aioli.
Crack and clean the whole crab removing all the shells and keeping only the meat. Place the crabmeat into a mixing bowl and keep refrigerated. A two-pound crab should yield approximately 10-12 ounces of cleaned crabmeat.
Place the scallops into a blender with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of fresh ground white pepper.
Turn on the blender and slowly add the heavy cream in a steady stream. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula, blend the mixture one more time to make sure the scallop mousse is a nice homogeneous mixture. Set aside.
In the mixing bowl with the crab, add the Dijon mustard and the cilantro and lightly toss the crab to evenly disperse the ingredients. Next, add the scallop mousse and again mix lightly as to not break up the crab, but you want the mousse to be evenly mixed through out the crab. Taste the mixture and season to taste with sea salt, fresh ground white pepper and a pinch of cayenne.
Form the cakes into a free form shape about 1 oz. each and place on a lightly oiled baking dish. They can be made up to this stage several hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
Before serving, turn the broiler on high and allow it to heat up. Lightly brush the tops of the crab cakes with grape seed oil and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until they begin to lightly brown on the top and are heated through. Remove from the broiler, and with a spatula place on a serving platter or plate each serving individually. Serve with a saffron aioli and lightly dressed mixed green and herb salad.
May substitute 10-12 oz of cleaned crabmeat.
Place all the ingredients into a blender except the grapeseed oil. Turn on the blender and slowly add the grapeseed oil in a slow steady stream until all the oil is incorporated and you have a nice emulsified mixture. Check the seasoning and adjust accordingly. Refrigerate until ready to use. | 2019-04-19T12:52:47Z | https://tableagent.com/recipes/dungeness-crab-cakes-one-market-restaurant-san-francisco/ |
The production of crude oil involves three separate steps: exploration, drilling and the actual production or bringing of the oil to the surface. These steps may be done by one or more separate companies, which may or may not also be involved in the refining, distribution and/or marketing of refined petroleum products. After water and sediment are removed, the crude oil is transported to a refinery for processing.
Refineries convert crude oil into useable petroleum products. Typically, one barrel of crude oil will yield approximately 19 gallons of gasoline, nine gallons of distillates (home heating fuel, diesel and kerosene), plus lesser amounts of other refined products such as jet fuel, liquid petroleum gas and residual oil. To a limited extent, refiners can adjust the refining process to alter the resulting mix of refined products to fit changing customer needs.
A refinery may be owned and operated by an integrated oil company which drills and produces much of its own oil and directly markets refined products, or by a corporation whose only function is to buy crude oil from producers and sell refined products. Both types of companies may market their products through their own distribution system or to terminal operators and independent downstream marketers (distributors) for further redistribution.
One of the unique advantages of oil as an energy source is the variety of ways it can be transported, both from the well to the refinery, and from the refinery to terminals, bulk plants and eventual end users.
Depending on the distances involved, the location of the facilities and the amount of oil to be transported, crude oil and refined products can be transported by tanker, barge, pipeline, tank truck or railroad tank cars.
The job of transporting crude oil and refined products can be done by the producer, refiner, pipeline trader or one of several downstream distributors, such as a terminal operator or independent marketer. In other instances, the product can be transported from one storage facility to another by a "common carrier" whose only role in the distribution chain is providing the means of transportation.
Water- and land-based terminals generally receive refined petroleum products by pipeline, tanker or barge. In more remote areas of the state, terminals may be served by railroad tank cars or truck transports directly from refineries. The main function of terminals in the distribution chain is to provide temporary storage for refined products for eventual redistribution to smaller bulk plants closer to end users and to directly supply large commercial accounts. A terminal facility will usually store a variety of refined products: gasoline, heating oil, kerosene, diesel, etc. Although often lacking in esthetic beauty, terminals are nonetheless a vital part of the petroleum distribution network. They constitute the chief secondary storage for refined products in a given market area. The storage capacities of terminals vary considerably depending on the market and the terminal's distance from the refineries. Terminals are owned and operated by integrated oil companies, refiners, independent terminal operators, and local distributors.
Smaller than marine or land terminals, bulk plants receive their shipments of refined products by truck transport or rail, either directly from refineries or from terminals. The local marketers who own and operate the plants then redistribute the products in smaller tank trucks to commercial accounts, homeowners, farms and gasoline service stations. Frequently referred to as distributors or wholesalers, the independent marketers who own and operate bulk plants may also own and operate their own service stations and/or home heating oil businesses.
In some instances, a bulk plant owner may resell product to another independent marketer who, in turn, will complete the downstream distribution of the product to service stations and home heating oil businesses. When this is done, the product may not carry the brand name of the original refiner, producer/refiner or terminal operator.
The neighborhood service station may be owned and operated by an integrated oil company, a branded or unbranded refiner, an independent marketer (distributor), chain retailer, convenience store or an independent service station dealer.
The gasoline in the station's pumps may be branded or unbranded and may be supplied directly by a refiner, or by an independent marketer.
The local home heating oil dealer is responsible for delivering heating oil to homes and commercial buildings throughout the year. In addition to fuel deliveries, a "full service" home heating oil dealer installs and maintains heating and hot water equipment on a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week basis. The dealer may also sell, install and service other energy-related products such as air conditioning systems, solar equipment, energy conservation measures, kerosene, wood and coal.
Solvents such as those used in paints, lacquers, and printing inks.
Lubricating oils and greases for automobile engines and other machinery.
Petroleum (or paraffin) wax used in candy making, packaging, candles, matches, and polishes.
Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) sometimes blended with paraffin wax in medical products and toiletries.
Asphalt used to pave roads and airfields, to surface canals and reservoirs, and to make roofing materials and floor coverings.
Petroleum coke used as a raw material for many carbon and graphite products, including furnace electrodes and liners, and the anodes used in the production of aluminum.
Petroleum feedstocks used for the manufacture of chemicals, synthetic rubber, and a variety of plastics. | 2019-04-25T23:56:49Z | https://eseany.org/consumers/petroleum-story/ |
Who wrote this short poem and what do you think it means?
"As the spirit wanes the form appears." This was written in a small book, one word per page. I think it speaks to the very nature of art itself. So who out there knows who wrote it and what do you think it means?
Update: you've got to be kidding me, nobody is willing to take a stab at this. ok, can you at least tell me what it means?
Best Answer: "As the spirit wanes the form appears," wrote the poet Charles Bukowski toward the end of his life and career, implying that as one loses touch with one's artistry and skill, the more one falls back on the structural devices behind them. Tellingly, it takes twice as many words to reveal the meaning of this simple prose. And while he was surely referring to himself with that atypically lyrical sentiment, he is never seen in less than fighting spirit or formidable form throughout the documentary "Bukowski: Born into This." Bukowski was a massive, volatile man with a pockmarked face from a childhood bout of acne vulgaris and a bulbous W.C. Fields nose for trouble. Whatever the demons that drove him, he had a bellyful of them, if the losing battle his shirts fought with his girth is any indication. One thing that drove him was alcohol, and in the film's interviews, often conducted by European admirers, he is rarely seen without a bottle or glass in his hand. In one interview, the camera peers into an apartment barren, except for empty beer bottles, beat-up furniture and an ancient typewriter. In footage shot by filmmaker Taylor Hackford, Bukowski is shown at a reading with a beer-stocked refrigerator on stage. "Do you have a little pot on stage I can vomit in," he mumbles, at one performance. When he died in 1974 at the age of 74, it was surprising he lived that long, considering the sort of life he led. His prose was as homely and blunt as he was. If romantic poetry is about roses, his was about thorns. "He had no time for metaphor," says rock star Bono who, along with Tom Waits and Sean Penn, forms a celebrity chorus in the film by John Dullaghan. Bukowski "was a man of the street writing for the people of the street, the dispossessed," growls Waits. Bukowski said he "had all the pretense beat out of" him as a child by an abusive father, yet still waxed sentimental when revisiting his childhood or recalling a lost love. He spent years traveling across the country, living in rooming houses, working dead-end jobs, always writing, mostly fiction, and sometimes getting published. By the time he settled in Los Angeles, his prose was shaped into noirish and hard-bitten narrative-driven poetry. Despite his profligate ways, his discipline and work ethic were impressive. He spent 15 years working for the U.S. Postal Service, while writing countless poems and mailing them to magazines, without making carbon copies and never getting them back. He was the "king of little magazines," wrote a popular column called "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" for a free weekly newspaper and was finally hired by a small publishing company, after which writing poetry became his full-time job and his notoriety grew.
He was an American primitive whose poetry, according to his German translator, reflected "the fundamental waste of a man whose life is dictated by others." But it was ultimately lived on his own terms.
Of course it's Bukowski but I got a total interpretation of this. The way I see it is, when you start something like art, you have this enthusiasm because you think you know how easy it is going to be. As an artist, it is not until you're completely almost at the point of quitting do you finally make a breakthrough and the form of your true character actually comes through. In his case, I'm sure he thought he was supposed to write things just like everyone else, it got him nowhere but finally when he said **** it, I'm tired of doing it the way I'm supposed and I'm going to do it the way I want to, HIS FORM BEGAN.
This prose was written by Charles Bukowski. It was his answer to the critics who felt his style of writing was being replaced by a more formal style. In other words, art is dead when the spirit wanes, then a more formal style will replace it. Art is dead when the spirit wanes. It will be replaced by crap. Fortunate for us, it never happened.
When we become disconnected from the truth of being, the spirit, we become reliant on external forms and others yo tell us who we are and how to express ourselves.
Bukowski passed at 74 in 1994.
i find a very different reason behind this line than everyone else, apparently.
"as the spirit wanes, the form appears"
when an artist works hard and honestly at his selected craft, he chips away at himself/herself, as a sculptor does to the slab from which his chisel attacks. as we take and take from ourselves, the form of our art, of our "soul" appears. we waste away the hours, nights, years, trying desperately to hone our skills, and in doing so, the "spirit" eventually reclines from view, and the "form" of our work appears. only in letting go can we begin to see what we are heading towards.

Within Triumph?s Modern Classics line there was always a sizable gap between the Bonneville T120 and the Thruxton. The Bonnie had a nice standard riding position and more sedate power delivery, while the Thruxton had a much more committed rider stance and sportier performance. What about riders who wanted an upright riding stance but craved more get up when the go knob was twisted" Well, the good folks in Hinckley have answered the call with the 2019 Triumph Speed Twin. However, Triumph delivered more than merely a revised riding position grafted onto a Thruxton chassis. Instead, an entirely new motorcycle was created from careful updates to the Thruxton. In the end, the Speed Twin offers a package that may out-Thruxton the Thruxton ? at least until some of the Speed Twin?s modifications trickle-up to the older sibling.

中秋節- Mooncake/Mid-Autumn Festival – Kaohsiung's Premier English Website.
The festival is one of the biggest holidays in Taiwan. It’s a special occasion for a family to reunite and share stories over a BBQ. The main features of this festival are the mooncake and pomelo (read #3 below). Mooncake is a pastry in the shape of the moon. They come in many flavors, but the most popular are red bean and mung bean. They are often filled with egg yolk. The round shape of the mooncake represents not only the moon, but unity of the family.
#1: The holiday has turned into a BBQ feast for the family gathering. This started with an advertisement by a BBQ sauce company that went viral. In Kaohsiung, a popular place to BBQ is Cheng Ching Lake, which has brick ovens for public use. But, you will see many families BBQing in front of their houses or businesses. The local people are also very warm and giving, often sharing the BBQ with strangers, especially foreigners. One cannot go wrong by offering mooncakes as presents to friends and family. One may even receive a BBQ invitation in return.
#3: Pomelo brings good luck. You will find children often encouraged (forced) by the parents to wear the skin of the pomelo as a hat in the hope of bringing fortune. There are two thoughts on the origins of this practice. First, it is said that pomelo was the favorite fruit of Chang’e and that she would bring blessings to those wearing the pomelo hat as they were easier to spot from the moon. Second, it is a play on the homonym (同音異義詞) of the word for pomelo, youzi (柚子), where it sounds like the word for “protection” youzi ( 佑子). Interestingly, the pomelo is a seasonal fruit during the festival.
#4: Lanterns are also popular with children during the festival. It is said that the lanterns light up the earth to make it easier for Chang’e to see.
#5: Highways. Avoid the highway all costs. Since it’s a major holiday, the whole of Taiwan will be traveling on the highway and it will be congested. If you do travel via highway, be prepared with food, drinks and entertainment for the kids. Alternative forms of transportation are trains and High Speed Rail. Due to the volume of traffic on the highway, access will be limited to vehicles with 3 or more passengers. Traditionally, the highway will be toll-free during the evening through early morning hours. Once “My Kaohsiung” gets more information on the traffic situation, we will post an update.
Origins: There are many versions of the history of the Mid-Autumn Festival, depending on who you talk to. In Taiwan, one of the more prevalent stories revolves around a 3,000-year-old long-lost love story: Once upon a time, there were 10 suns. These sons scorched the earth, so nothing could be harvested. An expert archer (Hou Yi) then shot down 9 suns, leaving the 1 remaining sun we see today. The harvests returned and as a reward, he was given a pill for immortality by the then king. His wife (Chang’e) found the pill and swallowed it without knowing what it was. Then, she started to float to the moon and has become immortal. On the moon, she has a companion, a rabbit. Her beloved and grieving husband died a mortal, alone on the earth. People felt sorrow for the two lovers, thus starting the festival as we know it today.
And all this time, we thought Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon.
Mooncake: It represents the moon and unity. However, it is also said that the mooncake played a turning point in ancient Chinese history. During the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), Mongol warlords controlled large parts of China and oppressed the Han Chinese. A rebellion was planned and since there wasn’t My Kaohsiung’s Facebook page to share information back then, the Han warriors coordinated the rebellion by putting a hidden message inside the mooncakes, which only the Han ate. The result was the overthrow of the Mongols and the return of rule to the Han ethnic group. | 2019-04-21T11:57:52Z | https://mykaohsiung.com/2018/09/12/%E4%B8%AD%E7%A7%8B%E7%AF%80-mooncake-mid-autumn-festival/ |

Wolves, coyotes, and other canids are members of a diverse genus of top predators of considerable conservation and management interest. Canid howls are long-range communication signals, used both for territorial defence and group cohesion. Previous studies have shown that howls can encode individual and group identity. However, no comprehensive study has investigated the nature of variation in canid howls across the wide range of species. We analysed a database of over 2000 howls recorded from 13 different canid species and subspecies. We applied a quantitative similarity measure to compare the modulation pattern in howls from different populations, and then applied an unsupervised clustering algorithm to group the howls into natural units of distinct howl types. We found that different species and subspecies showed markedly different use of howl types, indicating that howl modulation is not arbitrary, but can be used to distinguish one population from another. We give an example of the conservation importance of these findings by comparing the howls of the critically endangered red wolves to those of sympatric coyotes Canis latrans, with whom red wolves may hybridise, potentially compromising reintroduced red wolf populations. We believe that quantitative cross-species comparisons such as these can provide important understanding of the nature and use of communication in socially cooperative species, as well as support conservation and management of wolf populations. | 2019-04-18T21:31:46Z | http://www.montana.edu/research/publications/article.html?id=1814 |

At an early age I grew to become fascinated with computers and I learned computer programming.

The main motive why the Luddites have been flawed is as a result of technological improvements made for cheaper merchandise, which left consumers with more cash of their pockets to purchase other products – that means that jobs had been created elsewhere and there was all the time plenty of demand for workers. When agriculture was mechanized, for example, main to a massive drop within the variety of agricultural staff, cheaper food allowed individuals to purchase other client services, so other industries picked up the slack and employed more people. It is usually true, after all, that some jobs had been also created within the design, manufacture and maintenance of the machines themselves. | 2019-04-24T10:42:22Z | http://www.web-technology.info/computers-and-technology-quiz-4.html |

Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room. Yes, I did make my maiden journey to Sri Lanka, and like you, I found it somewhat blasphemous to head to Sri Lanka, but not partake in a meal that includes Sri Lankan crabs. As a Singaporean, food is most definitely at the top of my must-do list while travelling, so imagine my disappointment when I was whisked away by travel planner Amala Destinations to a nondescript hotel for a quick meal after touching down in Colombo.
But after my first mouthful of Sri Lankan spicy beef curry, all was forgotten. No crabs, no problem. Thus began my journey in Sri Lanka.
Instead of the usual Colombo-Kandy-Galle route most are used to, Amala decided that the best way to experience Sri Lanka would be to pluck the city-loving dwellers out of us, and transport us to Gal Oya in the south east.
After sixty minutes of treacherous turbulence in a seaplane and three hours in a car — keep your eyes peeled for the emerald green paddy fields — we finally arrive at our lone accommodation for the next three nights: Gal Oya Lodge. It’s by no means luxurious, and exactly what you’d expect from an eco-friendly lodge that’s located in a jungle. There’s no mobile phone signal, you’re surrounded by an abundance of critters (read: insect bites are to be expected) and electricity gets cut off on a regular basis. Unfortunately, neither mosquito coil nor repellent is available in the room, so be sure to bring your own, and when you’ve run out, ask the staff for more.
The lodge is home to just nine single huts and a lone two-room bungalow. The rooms come with a L-shaped sofa in the living area, a mosquito-netted king-sized bed, and a sheltered open-air bathroom with twin sinks. Materials of stone, unprocessed wood and bamboo provide that rustic feel, and with geckos and other insects sharing your space, you can’t help but reflect on urbanisation and its effect on wildlife. While there aren’t any monkeys to steal your belongings, it’ll be best to keep your toiletries after use given that lizards will leave their droppings just about anywhere. Local fowl run around the resort and disappear into the jungle, the odd green vine snake makes an appearance and grizzled giant squirrels rustle between trees. You learn to adapt and live with animals in their habitat, with creature comforts like a cold shower (or hot, if that’s what you’d like) and a fan-cooled room as prizes at the end of the day.
Whether a brilliant move or mistake by Amala is entirely dependent on what your expectations are like when planning a holiday. It takes some adjusting to get used to Gal Oya, but once something in you clicks, you’ll begin to view the National Park with a different lens. The 26,000 hectare National Park is home to wild elephants, crocodiles, sloth bears, leopards and monkeys, making sightings rather exciting.
I’d not have thought that peace would be something I’d associate with Sri Lanka, and yet, I find it by the dozens in Gal Oya. You’ll find nary a wandering tourist soul here. In fact, the lodge makes a great place to recharge, given that you’ll have no contact with the outside world. After a breakfast of appam and fresh fruit, settle in the lodge’s open-air ‘living room with a book from its library. I also highly recommend taking part in the jungle cooking class. It’s less gimmicky than it sounds, given that you’ll be making a deceivingly-delicious millet paste, fish curry, and a semi-cooked salad on open fires in a wooden hut.
We ride an open-air jeep to Gal Oya National Park, armed with expectations of wildlife sightings. Our guide, Arun is a 26-year-old naturalist who’s spent much of his life studying wildlife in Sri Lanka. Along with two other staff, they take us to the river for an early morning cruise. We spot a lone baby elephant, a couple of Marsh mugger crocodiles, and flocks of comorins, grey herons and darters. Just before we get comfortable, the boat stops in front of large, sloping boulders. It’s time for breakfast. Arun and his team lay out the tinkat tins comprising breakfast wraps, buffalo curd, granola and fresh fruit. With a killer view to boot, there’s really not more one can ask for.
If you’re not a morning person, perhaps the picnic by the Gal Oya river would fare better. It’ll be a pity to sit out on this, as Gal Oya means rocky river after all. Forget settling by the banks and set up instead on the boulders on the river. The cold tomato soup, I’ve to say, was my favourite of the lot, with its salads coming a close second. Jump in and wade in the water, or if you’d like to stay (relatively) dry, follow the path of the rocks that’ll take you to the other side of the river.
For a dose of culture, pay a visit to the Vedda tribe, where you’ll get to meet the chief and his second in command. While most members of the tribe now don modern-day clothes, both our hosts have graciously showed up in traditional wear — wrapping a sarong around their waists, walking around barefoot and resting an axe on their shoulders. They take us foraging through the jungle, plucking inconspicuous leaves to the untrained eye, that turn out to be herbs used for various ailments including colds and migraines.
The short four-day trip means that I’m back in Singapore quicker than expected. For a more authentic experience, Amala recommends doing a two-week journey which also covers Tangalle (sun, sand and sea, anyone?) and Galle Fort.
I would have really rather embarked on a road trip for my return journey — it takes roughly six to seven hours by car, and is far more pleasant than a three-hour car ride followed by an hour in a seaplane — but as they say, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. But no matter, for a return trip is in order.

We checked in with Alfie Mills, to see how he got on at this year's NASS and to find out how the experience was for him.
Hi Alfie how are you?
I’m good thanks. Looking forward to the summer holidays so I can skate more!!
So NASS festival has been and gone for 2017, how was your experience this year compared to previous years?
It gets better every year, as I get to know more skaters from different places.
How did you find this year’s course to skate? Has the course been better in previous years or was this the best layout you’ve ridden on?
I thought this year's course was awesome. Probably a bit better than last year's, as it seemed more diverse.
You competed in the AM park finals and got a fantastic result of 22 out of 60 entrants. How do you feel about the result, and what would you do different next year to move further up the table?
I was really happy with the result as I did a little better than last year, plus it’s just cool to ride the pro park with skaters of all ages. Next year I’ll just ride like I’m at a Park and try not to think of the time limit!
As always it’s been a pleasure to catch up with you. Is there anyone you would like to give a shout out to before we sign off?
I’d like to thank the Kings Park crew for they’re ongoing support and encouragement, also a big thanks to Jamie Smith and all at Enuff for being a great sponsor and for the regular supply of boards!! | 2019-04-21T00:53:44Z | http://enuffskateboards.blogspot.com/2017/07/alfie-mills-nass-2017.html |

The endowment effect is old news: the amount that we value an object increases once we take ownership of it. The ‘extended version’ shows that the impact of the endowment effect increases with time: our valuation of an object increases more and more as the amount of time that we own it also increases. This is known as the length-of-ownership effect.
Touching an object will increase our attachment to it and valuation of it, whether we own it or not.
The longer we touch or handle an un-owned object, the greater we will value it and feel attached to it.
Simply thinking about an un-owned object increases our valuation of it and how much we feel attached to it.
If an object is being sold at auction, the amount that we value the object will increase as the length of the auction increases.
Owning a coupon for an object increases our emotional attachment to that object.
Making an item the “focus of a comparison” increases its attractiveness and the probability that it would later be selected. We will also feel more attached to the item and will value it higher.

‘Touchier’ basketball teams and players (those who bump, hug and high five the most) are more successful than those who limit their non-playing physical contact. Similarly, higher satisfaction has been reported in romantic relationships in which the partners touch more.
Just two of the findings from research looking at the importance of touching in relationships.
Students who received a supportive touch on the back or arm from a teacher were nearly twice as likely to volunteer in class as those who did not, studies have found. A sympathetic touch from a doctor leaves people with the impression that the visit lasted twice as long, compared with estimates from people who were untouched. […] A massage from a loved one can not only ease pain but also soothe depression and strengthen a relationship.

Primal, Acute and Easily Duped: Our Sense of Touch is a recent article from Pulitzer Prize-winning Natalie Angier (author of The Canon: The Beautiful Basics of Science) taking a rudimentary look at the sense of touch and some recent research in the field of haptics.
Scientists have determined that the human finger is so sensitive it can detect a surface bump just one micron high […] 1/25,000th of an inch — the diameter of a bacterial cell.
Aside from the fascinating accuracy of the sense, the article looks briefly at what is dubbed the ‘rubber hand illusion’ which Mind Hacks looks at in more detail—and I suggest you do too.

•Class 1 fibre :- the yarn tail picks up the trailing end of a fibre which lies wholly on the surface of the rotor. The fibre is integrated into the yarn & tends to take a helical form, which will be distorted by migration. The original fibre direction is reversed. This fibre is called as class1 fibre.
•Class 2 fibre :- the fibre is just emerging from the transparent tube as the yarn tail sweeps past. The leading end of the fibre is picked up & moves towards the centre ; the trailing end is flung onto the surface of the rotor ;The fibre becomes a “bridging fibres”. I.E., Fibres that bridge the gap that should theoretically occur behind the pick-up point, p. The fibre is integrated in the yarn & tends to take a helical form as in class 1, but there is no change in fibre direction. This fibre is called as class 2 fibre.
•Class 3 fibre : a fibre that has partly emerged when the yarn tail arrives : the leading part is on the surface of the rotor ; the trailing part is tube. The fibre is picked up at some point along its length. The leading end is integrated in the reverse direction . the trailing end is integrated in the forward direction. A leading hook is created. This fibre is called as class 3 fibre. | 2019-04-22T16:31:41Z | http://textiletechinfo.com/open-end-spinning/various_types_of_binding_fibres.htm |
I have one of these on my kegs and they work great. Very easy to install and use. I will most likely be buying a couple more of these soon.
Nice product. Sturdy and reliable. Just make certain you get a clamp to help your house stay fixed to this product. Nice/necessary product if you have a pin-lock keg.
I purchased these along with two reconditioned pin lock kegs orginally to ferment my beer in as opposed to a carboy. That didn't work out so great so I now use the kegs for filter my beer from one keg to the other with the Midwest filter kit and polishing filters. I discovered that the barb fittings are a hassle as they take too long to disconnect. I now use the screw based ones as they are much easier and I get no leaks.
I like the barbed quick disconnect better than the threaded. The barbed version eliminates one piece and potential leak point. | 2019-04-21T12:04:48Z | https://www.midwestsupplies.com/pin-lock-liquid-fitting-barbed |
When I got back home to Colorado I picked up my first wine kit, an Old Vine Zinfandel, and started making wine. At the same time, I was excavating the crawl space in my house to create some extra storage space. I dug approximately 2 feet of dirt out of the 13 x 18-foot space to give me 6 feet of height once the floor was poured. With the help of friends and a 6-bag cement mixer we poured the shelf walls and then the floor. As I stood there trying to figure out how to arrange the shelves, I noticed that the temperature in the space was cool and the humidity was high. I thought, “This would be a pretty cool wine cellar.” And so it was born: the wine cellar to hold my first vintage, a 2008 Old Vine Zinfandel.
I made the diamond racks in 2008 and have since added a shelf for storing wine made from grapes aging in carboys. (Yes, I graduated to grapes this last harvest, but I still make wine from kits, too.) My kids and wife got me the table and stools as a gift and I found some local rough-sawn, beetle-killed pine to dress up the walls. Half of the room is still for storage so I use a portable room divider to hide that side. When the candles are lit and the lights are out the atmosphere in there is wonderful. We’ve hosted many tastings and dinners in the cellar since and our guests always have a great experience.
I am lucky in that the cellar is, for the most part, passive. It maintains a temperature range of 64 °F (18 °C) in the summer and 52 °F (11 °C) in the winter. There was one winter cold snap that prompted me to put a little oil-filled space heater in there to keep the temperature from falling much below 50 °F (10 °C). The humidity runs anywhere from about 40% up to about 60%. Since it is a storage area, I do limit the humidity to a maximum of about 60%. For the Colorado climate, that’s really humid. All the temperature and humidity changes are very gradual as the floor and most of the walls are concrete. The little bit of the cellar that is framed, including the ceiling, are well insulated.

Who knows whether the satellite Yamahas will have the livery that you see above, conceived by MotoGP Livery (many 'futuristic' designs appear on its Twitter profile). What we do know is that Petronas will definitely feature as sponsor on the “secondary” M1s, an agreement having now been reached.
Having lost Tech3, an historic partner, they can breathe a sigh of relief in Iwata and start to plan for the immediate future. The deadline for ordering the bikes was set for 30 June and an agreement has been reached with the Malaysian sponsor just a few days prior to said date.
There will once again be four Yamahas on the grid in 2019 then, ridden by two riders who are currently on a Honda. The first will be Dani Pedrosa, who was considering retirement prior to Barcelona but has been tempted by this opportunity. The second will be Franco Morbidelli, an innocent bystander in the Marc VDS debacle. The Italian had a contract to ride with the Belgian team next year, but recent events have seen this draw to an unexpected conclusion. It is almost certain that van der Straten's team will not be in MotoGP next year.
Problems inside the team have seen Yamaha change its plans, the manufacturer having originally lined up Marc VDS as a replacement for Tech3.
Petronas has thus brought a solution to the problems. The Malaysian firm is closely linked to the Sepang International Circuit and, as of 2019, wants to strengthen its presence in the championship, participating in all three classes from Moto3 to MotoGP.
An ambitious but financially sound project, a breath of fresh air for a paddock that is always in search of reliable investors.
On paper, the team is intriguing. As we wait to learn whether Yamaha will supply at least one factory bike (Tech3 would always receive versions from the previous year), the two riders are very interesting. Pedrosa is a highly experienced champion, his in-depth knowledge of rival Honda perhaps useful when it comes to development. Morbidelli is a promising youngster who hasn't yet shown his full potential on a satellite RC213V that doesn't exactly shine in terms of its ease of use or competitiveness.
It remains to be seen whether Petronas will join forces with an existing structure. It's no mystery that Team Angel Nieto is involved in this negotiation. An initial announcement regarding the Petronas-Yamaha agreement is expected at Assen, with further details to follow. | 2019-04-19T11:13:11Z | https://www.gpone.com/en/2018/06/27/motogp/petronas-and-yamaha-announcement-set-to-arrive-at-assen.html |

A young Israeli man who was brutally beaten in downtown Jerusalem earlier this month revealed to The Jerusalem Post that his assailants were apparently employees of the US Consulate in the Israeli capital.
The young man, who identified himself only by his first name, Yishai, said the attack occurred as he and a friend stepped out of a downtown bar where they were celebrating another friend's birthday to buy some cigarettes.
As they were returning to the party, the two Israelis were approached by a group of people speaking English. One of the larger of the English-speakers exchanged words with Yishai and then punched him in the face. The others proceeded to punch and kick Yishai, leaving him with multiple head and body injuries that required him being taken to a nearby hospital.
Yishai's friend, who was also lightly injured, rushed back to the bar to let the rest of his friends know what happened to and to call the police. The group searched for the attackers and found them at another bar, to which they directed police. The assailants were arrested and taken to a downtown jail, but were shortly after released.
When Yishai's friends demanded to know why those who had perpetrated an unprovoked and brutal attack were simply allowed to walk free, one officer revealed that the attackers were employees of the US Consulate, and so enjoy diplomatic immunity.
Police officials later contacted by the Post refused to confirm or deny that the assailants were US diplomats. US Consulate staff insisted that they were cooperating fully with the Israeli police in the investigation.
The US Consulate in Jerusalem has many Palestinian Arabs who possess US citizenship on its staff. They, together with other American employees of the mission, have on numerous occasions confronted both Israeli civilians and security personnel in a very hostile manner. One of the more recent incidents involved a consulate driver refusing to allow Israeli guards at a border crossing check his vehicle. He reportedly attempted to drive the car into one of the guards as the situation escalated. | 2019-04-22T12:32:51Z | http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/21142/Default.aspx |
The European Commission on Wednesday proposed giving itself new powers to request scientific studies on the safety of products in an effort to quell public concerns that industry has too much influence over the process.
Should the plan be signed off by national capitals as well as the European Parliament, it would hand Brussels far-reaching capabilities to re-evaluate scientific studies submitted by companies in order to approve the likes of food additives, pesticide products and genetically modified food.
The Commission's proposal comes after lawmakers and campaigners complained vociferously last year that studies used to assess the carcinogenicity of the weedkiller glyphosate were kept secret. They accused Monsanto — the world’s biggest manufacturer of the substance — of ghostwriting some of the research, a claim that the U.S. concern has strongly denied.
"It goes without saying that the responsibility to demonstrate that a product is safe continues to lie with the industry," European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans told reporters as he unveiled the legislation in Brussels. "But in controversial cases EFSA [the European Food Safety Authority] will now also be able to commission its own studies financed from the EU budget."
The new rules, if adopted by EU member countries, will affect all companies — including big players such as Germany's Bayer and the Swiss-based conglomerate Syngenta — looking to approve a wide range of products, including genetically modified food, food and feed additives, food enzymes and pesticides. As part of the new regime, the Commission would order the European Food Safety Authority to commission its own scientific studies should "exceptional circumstances" arise.
The new proposal, which emerged as part of a revision to the EU's General Food Law, did not specify what would count as an exceptional circumstance.
It would also oblige companies to post data from the studies they commission on EFSA's website so that scientists can assess the research independently.
But the Commission's move did not go far enough for some campaigners, who argued companies should play no role whatsoever in commissioning the studies that go into proving the safety of their products.
The Commission's plan would give Brussels new powers to ensure that laboratories that conduct scientific studies comply with international standards. In recent years, public skepticism surrounding the independence of the science behind chemical substances — particularly pesticides and genetically modified food — has put pressure on EU countries not to approve such products for the marketplace even if the science concludes they are safe.
That has left the Commission in a tricky position when trying to decide whether to approve genetically modified crops for cultivation and risk taking the flak from the public. In November, the EU only just managed to gain enough support to renew the license of glyphosate, the world’s most common herbicide, thanks to a dramatic U-turn from Berlin, whose environment minister at the time, Barbara Hendricks, angrily asserted that she had been double-crossed by the conservative then-Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt.
Timmermans defended the Commission's decision to keep industry involved in carrying out research to determine the safety of their products.
"Many of these studies are completely uncontroversial. If you can leave the financial burden on the ones who are going to profit from it and not put it on the shoulders of the taxpayers then that is good," he said. "But if there is a controversy ... then EFSA can intervene."
The Commission's move follows an announcement last month from dozens of agrichemical companies pledging to release undisclosed documents containing safety data on their pesticides. Critics of the move, however, said they were skeptical about the transparency pledge because companies would still be able to hold back key data, citing corporate secrecy.
That option is also possible under the new Commission proposal, although companies will "have to provide verifiable justification for their possible confidentiality claims," the EU executive said in a memo.
"I hope that the global commitment to further transparency from our industry, and the principles enshrined in this new proposal, will be met with a similar commitment by those on the other side of the debate who produce studies arguing against the need for, or approval of, pesticides," said Graeme Taylor, director of public affairs at the European Crop Protection Association, an EU pesticide lobby. | 2019-04-26T03:47:13Z | https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-commission-wants-new-powers-to-vet-product-safety-frans-timmermans-food-gm-research-pesticides/ |
Legislative power is vested in the unicameral Grand National Assembly, consisting of 550 deputies elected every 5 years. Under the 1961 constitution, the Grand National Assembly was a bicameral parliament with over 600 members. The 1982 system represents an effort to avoid the imbalances and the challenges to leadership that occurred under the larger, two-house legislature. And the number of deputies was dropped to 450 which later in 1998 became 550.
The legislative term has been lengthened by one year under the new Constitution in an effort to reduce the preoccupation with campaigning that had contributed to Turkey's political fragmentation in the past. For the same reason, by-elections to fill vacant seats are to be held only once between general elections unless the number of vacancies reaches 5 percent of the total assembly membership. General elections may be held earlier than scheduled if a majority of deputies so decides or if a prolonged parliamentary deadlock occurs.
The Grand National Assembly is to convene on the first day of September and may not recess for more than three months a year. During an adjournment, the president may summon the assembly for an extraordinary session, either on his own initiative or at the written request of one-fifth of the members. The assembly has the power to enact, amend, and repeal laws and can pass legislation over the veto of the president. It also supervises the Council of Ministers and authorizes it to issue decrees. It debates and approves the budget and makes decisions regarding the printing of currency. In addition, the assembly approves the ratification of international treaties and has the power to authorize a declaration of war. Although the Constitution provides for legislative controls over the executive in the form of written questions, investigations, and interpellations, whereby the Council of Ministers can be voted out of office, there are also procedures under which the parliament may delegate its lawmaking powers to the Council of Ministers.
Every Turkish citizen over the age of twenty-five is eligible to be a deputy, provided that he/she has completed primary education and has not been convicted of serious crime or been involved in "ideological and anarchistic activities". Male candidates are required to have performed the compulsory military service. Members of higher judicial and educational institutions as well as civil servants and members of the armed forces must resign from office before standing for election.
According to the Constitution, deputies represent the whole nation, not merely their own constituencies. A member of the Turkish Grand National Assembly wields more patronage and influence than do members of most other Western parliaments and is expected to intervene in the bureaucracy more actively and frequently.

Disappointingly, frustration at Richie McCaw’s constant law-bending and Craig Joubert’s massively ineffective refereeing performance got the better of French centre Aurelien Rougerie, as the damning evidence of his use of those darkest of arts illustrates.
Similarly disappointing has been the outcome. While Sur Ruchie’s eye is fine, the incident was apparently behind the lack of courtesy between the two teams who fiercely competed for the William Webb Ellis trophy last Sunday. In the immediate aftermath, neither McCaw nor Henry saw fit to even mention the French in their after match speeches, so obsessed were they with their own plight.
Equally, it’s disappointing that everyone would rather swallow this incident. Rougerie should be cited and banned for his dirtiness and the French performance in general should be commended, while Craig Joubert’s roundly condemned. To attempt to sweep the aftermath of the game under the carpet is not the right thing to do – not least because it will give the “terrible winners” New Zealand an injustice to crow about despite the realities of the final.
Sounds like it will stand up in court anyway Keith.
Remarkable too has been Lievremont’s lack of comment on the issue of the referee. For a man who put his foot in his mouth so repeatedly throughout the rest of the tournament, his vow of silence on the officials’ performances has been remarkably out of character. Where was that tact when it was required?

So today I came back from a weeks holiday at Falls Creek which is a snow retreat for boarders, skiers, and general snow lovers! There was so much up there which it amazed me beyond my initial expectations – especially considering it was my first time! First off, the ride there. Boy it was amazing! The scenery is a location managers dream :] Flushing meadows, trees standing 200 metres tall, flowers as far as the eye can see!
But being a massive fan and enthusiast of beautiful scenery, I couldn’t go past a rainbow after some light showers. Though this wasn’t a normal rainbow… it was a DOUBLE RAINBOW! I was ecstatic when I saw it thinking this is truly the best first snow trip ever.
When we arrived, I thought how could this trip actually beat a double rainbow? Like that is pretty intense stuff to beat, and being the end of the snow season there wasn’t much of a chance of good snow left. WRONG! We arrived into a wonderful downfall of snow. I nearly exploded! A double rainbow and snowfall?!
Anyway, after arriving to our destination I decided to take some snaps for souvenirs – but more importantly future landscape ideas for video production. The sights from the top and bottom of the mountain was wonderful and only effective if experienced in real life. I say this because I joked to the others who I went with that I could have Google Imaged the view and saved a lot of money – all jokingly of course! There is no substitute to the real life experience of going somewhere and meeting the people who live in that climate daily.
On one particular day I was walking around, and there were two Huskie cross Maltese Shih Tzu dogs playing with each other. Now not too sure if the dogs were friendly to strangers – as I couldn’t see an owner – I walked cautiously past admiring their playful spirit. Soon enough they spotted me and came to attack. And when I say attack I mean attack with affection. They were the most playful dogs I had ever encountered and even were willing to play fetch with a snowball! After a while their owner came by and said they all needed to be off. I agreed saying I still had lots to discover!
A few days down the track I eventually got the camera to work – in the freezing conditions – up on the mountain peaks. It was amazing and I can now say that I have eaten a cloud, which probably isn’t good, but i’ve done it! I took a few panoramic shots (still to be uploaded) of the mountain top, as well as a full 360 degree video. It again, was amazing to just be there.
The ride home was even better than the ride there – only because it didn’t hurt my body as much, and there was no radio reception so I didn’t have to switch between iPod and crackly radio! But nonetheless the ride back had scenery which was beautiful too… switching from snow capped mountains to tree filled paddocks and mountaintops.
Coming back I feel rejuvenated. Powered up for another million years to help keep people entertained! I guess that’s the key to life sometimes… Maybe it’s best just to drop everything and disconnect yourself from the world, go to a place where there is no distractions (internet, telephone, etc.) and just clear your mind.
Finally, no trip would be a fun without some really stupid photos which you look back on an go, “Ahh that was too much fun!” So here we go for a few photos which you can look at and laugh with me on the good experience (or just admire the beauty)! | 2019-04-20T20:56:26Z | https://markbattistellafilms.com/2010/snow-trip-2010/ |
This daily weblog by Dinotopia creator James Gurney is for illustrators, plein-air painters, sketchers, comic artists, animators, art students, and writers. James Gurney wrote "Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter," he also wrote and illustrated "Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time.
Oscar Rejlander contributed photographs to Charles Darwin's work The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
Published in 1872, the book was one of the first to be illustrated with photographs, and it was unusual at the time to see photos showing such expressions.
Oscar Rejlander took a carefully composed portrait of Alice-in-Wonderland author Lewis Carroll.
He provided reference photographs to assist painters such as Lawrence Alma Tadema. Finally, Rejlander pioneered an ambitious approach to art photography, producing in 1857 a moralistic photomontage called "The Two Ways of Life"
Anand has some questions about how people talk about color temperature.
He says he understands how a yellow can be cooler if it leans more toward blue, and warmer if it has a red bias. But which blue is warmer/ cooler? One could argue that a blue with a red or violet bias is warmer because red is a warm color. But a blue with a yellow or green bias can also be regarded as warmer because yellow is also a warm color.
He also asks which is warmer, green or magenta? And is there a pure primary color on the dividing line between warm and cool? Finally, Which is the warmest color on color wheel of tube colors yellow or orange?"
Answer: Artists mean different things when they talk of color as warm or cool. A swatch of orange or blue standing alone can be described in absolute terms as a warm color or a cool color. Alternately, some artists use color temperature more as a relative concept to distinguish two closely related colors. For example, a green mixed with more orange might be regarded as warmer than a similar green that was composed with more of a blue-green hue.
As you suggest, this relative approach to assigning color temperature can be confusing when someone is talking about blue, which could be made warmer with the addition of either red or yellow. You're right that blue is the coolest color, so I don't think it makes any sense to describe a warmer blue.
Is there a primary color on the dividing line between warm and cool? Yes, greens and violets are on the dividing line, but artists don't always agree precisely where to divide the color wheel.
Which color is the warmest? I'd say a yellow orange, like a cadmium yellow medium is the warmest. But keep in mind that warmth is not something you can measure with a thermometer. It's psychological. And the effect of a color in a given picture depends to a great extent on what colors you put around it.
Alphonse Mucha's son Jiří (1915-1991), who wrote one of the best books on the artist, went before the camera in 1975 to share his recollections. He leafs through old prints and portfolios and tours the family home in Prague.
He says that his father put the idea of the perfect women on such a high pedestal that he was aloof and even disdainful around his actual models. When his father was about 13, he fell in love with a girl his age, who died. Forever afterward, he cherished that childlike feminine ideal, and tried to recapture it in his work.
Answer: "Some people call it "window shading," especially oil painters. I call it "ink-jetting" or "area-by-area painting."
For example, I want to paint this diner in watercolor. I start with a pencil drawing to give a baseline scaffolding.
Today the National Gallery in Washington opens the exhibition "American Pre-Raphaelites: Radical Realists."
The show includes more than 90 works of art, including oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings, some never before exhibited. One of the American leaders of the movement was English expatriate Thomas Charles Farrer, who was instrumental in spreading Ruskin's philosophy of close observation of nature.
Oddly enough, the curators left out Asher B. Durand from the selection of exhibited artists, even though he was a central figure in advocating truth-to-nature philosophies. Although Durand didn't mention Ruskin by name in his Letters on Landscape Painting, he exemplified many of Ruskin's philosophies in his careful studies of trees and landscapes, and he gave Ruskin's ideas his own American slant. Durand exhibited these studies to a rising generation of landscape painters at the National Academy of Design in New York, where he was president from 1845-1861. Contrary to the impression left by the catalog essay, which quotes critics accusing Durand of belonging to a "past age and a dead system," in fact he remained an influential advocate of close observation, celebrated and beloved by younger artists until his death in 1886.
Henry Roderick Newman, Study of Elms, 1866, watercolor, 17 x 19 in.
The catalog begins with seven essays examining roots of the truth-to-nature philosophies, the role of photography in their work, their interest in still life painting, and the iconography of American Pre-Raphaelites.
One of the authors devotes twenty pages to the idea that some of the landscape paintings contain veiled references to the Civil War, Abolitionism, and other hidden political agendas. For example, the boat pulled up on shore in Charles Herbert Moore's painting Hudson River, Above Catskill is described as a "wrecked or stranded boat emblematic of a foundered ship of state and the associated fears for and even a loss of faith in the American corporate enterprise during and following the Civil War."
While some artists were certainly painting landscapes with political overtones during this period, I'm a bit skeptical of some of these interpretations. In the case of the Moore landscape above, maybe the boat was there because someone just beached his rowboat above the high tide line (the Hudson River above Catskill is tidal).
1864, graphite, 23 x 17.5 in.
I wish the catalog's editors had devoted less page space to political theories (why not publish those online?) and instead tell the factual and humorous stories of the artists. What logistical challenges did they face, and what practical methods did they use? There are a lot of vivid, first-hand accounts in letters and journals to draw upon. I also wish the editors would consult practicing painters and conservators to give themselves more of a grounding in the concerns the actual artists faced.
Or better yet, cut back on the text and devote more pages to reproductions of artwork.
John William Hill, Apple Blossoms, watercolor, 1874, 9 x 15.5 in.
Despite those quibbles, the 312-page catalog is worth the cost ($65 list, $42 on Amazon) for the 210 color illustrations. There are high quality reproductions of all the works in the show, plus several closeups.
Fidelia Bridges, Study of Ferns, oil on board, 10 x 12 in.
I was especially impressed with the 11 works by William Trost Richards and the six samples by Fidelia Bridges. The back of the book includes an exhibition checklist, a timeline, artist biographies, notes, and index.
Exhibition: American Pre-Raphaelites: Radical Realists will be up through July 21, 2019.
It's time to visit my friend Mel Birnkrant, who almost singlehandedly rescued the early image of Mickey Mouse.
Classic Mickey was nowhere to be seen between 1939 and 1973, because Mickey was replaced with the 1938 redesigned version).
One of Mel's cherished possessions is a set of one-of-a-kind sculpts of Minnie, Mickey, and Horace Horsecollar from about 1934. The rubber-hose style legs are made from electrical wire, and the heads are hand-carved from wood.
The painting is in gouache (white, raw sienna, terra rosa, and ultramarine blue) over a casein underpainting.
I'm using my homemade sketch easel at sitting height. Original Borden Dairy “Elsie” puppets are in the background.
Tomb guardians in ancient China from the 7th to 9th century A.D. served to protect the living from wandering spirits of the dead, and to protect the tomb from robbers.
Some of these molded earthenware sculpts were composite figures that included qualities of human and animal forms.
According to Wikipedia, the earth spirits had animal bodies "often including wings sprouting from the tops of the forelegs.
"The heads are often different, with one semi-human and another perhaps based on a snarling lion. Both have horns and crests like flames or huge cockscombs."
The European Union has thrown out Sweden's proposal to ban cadmium paint.
"It’s hard to imagine painting without cadmium. The brilliant, lightfast pigment was discovered around 1820 and started appearing in artist’s red, yellow, and orange paints in the 1840s — just in time for Impressionist founder Claude Monet’s arrival in the world. They’re what gave us Monet’s haystacks, Van Gogh’s sunflowers, and Matisse’s red-drenched studio. The European Chemical Agency (ECHA) began considering a ban on cadmium after the Swedish Chemicals Agency submitted a 197-page document calling for one in December 2013. Cadmium pigment is made with cadmium sulphide, a toxic heavy metal. It is not technically classified as hazardous by REACH, the EU body that advises the commission on chemicals, and it makes up only .1 percent of paints. Nonetheless, the report argued that artists were polluting the environment by rinsing their cadmium-soaked brushes in the sink. The cadmium would find its way into sewage sludge that is spread on agricultural land and wind up polluting crops, and so increase the risk of cancer and other illnesses."
In the summer of 1851, Pre-Raphaelite painters John Everett Millais and William Holman Hunt traveled to the Elwell River in England, each in hopes of painting the background for an ambitious picture that they had planned in their heads.
Millais wanted to paint Hamlet's Ophelia drowning in a stream, and his plan was to paint the background first.
Following the advice of critic John Ruskin to capture every detail faithfully—“rejecting nothing—selecting nothing”—Millais dutifully recorded the "flowering rush, river daisy, forget-me-not, willow herb, meadowsweet, and the wonderful tangle of brier bush with its multitude of dog roses in bud and bloom."
According to a 1923 biography: 'They were up by six o’clock and at their selected spots by eight o’clock, where they painted until evening, returning to their lodgings about seven o’clock; Hunt had to walk four miles and Millais two to their respective painting places.
The process of painting the background on location took more than two months.
Where do our eyes look when we watch a movie? Eye-tracking technology can record in real time how the observer's eyes land on important features, and then jump to new points of interest.
Scientists can take the data from the visual experience of many individuals and compile it into heat maps showing where most observers actually look. That information can suggest the cognitive activity driving the eye movements, and it can help editors understand what information people are taking away from the moving pictures.
Researchers used this technology on three films: the war movie "Saving Private Ryan" and two Pixar movies, "Up" and "Monsters, Inc."
1. "Hot spots emerge around the character’s mouths, as if our viewers are conditioned to look for identification through the way a film’s central characters 'speak', and are searching for narrative clarification through dialogue exchanges that actually never emerge."
2. "Objects and motifs that actively move the story along and define character mood are picked out of the mise-en-scène and gazed at even when the scene is fluid and action is taking place across the filmic space."
3. "Our eyes seem to be active in finding emotive objects even when they are found in a busy scene. There is a caveat here of course: the 'extra' attention to significant objects may well have been because the scenes were free of dialogue."
4. "When the sound is off, viewers actually migrate slightly away from the character’s mouths to focus on their eyes, and to objects that are pregnant with narrative information."
5. "The viewer is searching for non-verbal signs to confirm what might be taking place and because the eyes, culturally speaking, are where “truth” is to be revealed." | 2019-04-19T08:43:52Z | https://www.feedspot.com/infiniterss.php?q=site:http%3A%2F%2Fgurneyjourney.blogspot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fposts%2Fdefault%3Falt%3Drss |
Synopsis Following the murder of her father by hired hand Tom Chaney, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest U.S. marshal she can find, a man with "true grit," Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn. Mattie insists on accompanying Cogburn, whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Chaney. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her "grit" tested. | 2019-04-20T13:12:17Z | https://www.filmmelier.com/en/ww/film/20/true-grit |

WELCOME BROTHERS & SISTERS ON THE GOLDEN PATH TO INNER PEACE ……… THAT PEACE THAT PASSES THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMAN MIND!
Let us quote what the Ascended Masters said on the subject of holding undisturbed peace.
“One man, woman or child, learning the self-mastery of UNDISTURBED PEACE, under ALL circumstances, can, through the expansion of consciousness, hold an entire continent in perfect balance. In early ages, this God-illumination, elf-mastery, and undisturbed peace, enabled those, so equipped, to sustain the entire Earth during her lowest ebb.
In the atmosphere around the Earth, there is this turbulence, moving energy of which I speak, and yet, in the midst of all that – ONE LIFESTREAM, turning his attention toward God or myself, or any Divine Being, can draw back enough PEACE to hold the balance for a community, a city, a state or a nation!
“It was not easy for me to hold the peace when I led that little “infant” (at least to me he seemed so) through the gates of the Temple of Luxor. It was not easy to hold the peace, either, when, after the passing of Joseph, Jesus went the long way alone, across mountains and plains, into India for further instructions.
On Good Friday I also had to hold the feeling of peace around blessed Jesus, as a protective aureole, while his blessed bleeding body was nailed to the cross.
If I had not been able to hold that inner peace, there would no Christian Dispensation today, no mighty cathedrals, with their spires pointing to the sky, no great choirs of lovely singers, and no ecclesiastical glory of the Christian Church.
When the come times (when there will in the future) when great numbers of people will require your assistance, your emotional stability will be the forcefield over which our protection can flow. SO BUILD IT NOW! And in your sanctuaries and groups, watch the quality of the decree work, watch the quality of your songs, watch the quality and energy and fibre of your group-endeavour, to keep that wonderful positive balance.
Nothing can be permanently sustained anywhere in this universe, without the feeling of undisturbed peace. The calm, poised, reasoning individual becomes the pivotal point for the greater number, who are unable to intelligently cope with sudden shock, surprise, fear, or whatever the appearance may be. We have all heard of how great audiences have been safely removed from burning buildings through the quick thinking and masterful control of either an entertainer or a member of the audience, itself, who directed the thought pattern of the crowd and maintained order and balance in the entire group.
We have all had the experience of contacting a calm, poised individual when we, ourselves, have been distressed, and have witnessed the effect of the transference of that calm, poised assured feeling stilling our won distressed emotions. Thus, although hysteria, fear and uncontrolled emotions are instantly transferable, so, to are the higher spiritual qualities of peace, poise and balance.
When the Great Silent Watcher of the continent, the Great Silent Watcher of the city, or the Great Silent Watchers of the local units see some great need, then they call an SOS to the heart of the Brotherhood for help. The Brotherhood looks down upon that location and it is finds the chela’s energies in a state of violent emotions, disturbed and distressed, that individual is temporarily cut off from the consciousness of the Brotherhood and the conductor through the world of form is not there.
THE PLANET, AS YOU KNOW, IS PASSING THROUGH A VERY DANGEROUS AND CHAOTIC PERIOD, and if we could depend on your outer selves to hold a certain harmony, WE COULD USE YOU, WITHOUT LIMIT, IN DELIVERING THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH FROM DESTRUCTIVE ACTIVITIES.
Are you going to be a comfort, a balance, a protection, a healing “conductor”, or are you going to be swept into the chaos of the uncontrolled?
In those moments, if you are not prepared and at peace, you are temporarily cut off from the Brotherhood as a channel for their outgoing, controlled, force, which would but energise you chaos, were they to pour it out to you when you were in distress.
Let us then, individually, begin to train ourselves to remain the peace-commanding presence in the face of the small, trifling experiences of daily life, that, when, and if, the occasion should ever arise, we may abide under the wings of the Almighty and, further, become those very wings to the children of Earth, who might require our presence, comfort, assistance and counsel.
If you feel irritated, visualize the Elohim of Peace standing above you, pouring down over you a stream of soft, golden, healing oil, the colour of molten gold. See that pouring down over the head and then flowing right down over the entire body absorbing that substance like a blotter absorbs ink. See it running down over the nervous system, clear to the ends of your fingertips and toes. Consciously accept this substance and radiation for a few minutes until you can FEEL its benefit and call your I AM Presence into action to keep it sustained and ever expanding.
This exercise is good to use at night just before entering sleep, and with a little practice, it will induce the relaxation that brings sound, refreshing sleep.
One must keep the attention riveted upon this activity for at least two or three minutes at a time. During the day, if more time is available, and you seem tired, needing more energy, see the stream of golden oil more sparkling, until it becomes quite dazzling.
You may use this exercise on others too, when you see they need assistance, for many folks have the appearance of “frayed” nerves these days. | 2019-04-25T04:11:47Z | http://peacekeepersunite.com/cultivating-inner-peace/ |

Sharks forward Joe Pavelski put his team in front in the first period against the Golden Knights when a puck deflected off his face and into the net.
In the win-or-go-home Stanley Cup playoffs, hockey players will do whatever it takes to score goals. Given that backdrop, Joe Pavelski was surely happy to get on the board Wednesday night, but he probably wishes it came in a lot less painful fashion.
Pavelski, captain of the San Jose Sharks, opened the scoring for his team in their first-round series against the Vegas Golden Knights by having a puck deflect off his face and past opposing goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. All it cost him was a few teeth, according to ESPN.
"I feel all right," said Pavelski, via ESPN. "But enough with the dental questions."
The initial shot came from stalwart defenseman Brent Burns during a first-period power play that saw the 34-year-old Pavelski take up residence in front of the net. Unfortunately, the American did not see Burns' shot until it was too late, and it struck his face square before careening into the net.
Here's a thing that happened: Joe Pavelski scored a goal off his face!
Pavelski appeared to be in pain, and he went to the locker room for the duration of the first period. He eventually came out to the bench early in the second period wearing a full face shield.
His team closed out the first period with his off-the-face tally serving as the game's only goal. The Sharks added three more goals in the second period en route to a 5-2 home win in Game 1. | 2019-04-26T12:57:34Z | https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2019/04/10/nhl-playoffs-joe-pavelski-sharks-scores-goal-off-his-face/3432235002/ |

A medical transport van taking a patient to dialysis crashed today, killing the patient being transported. The van collided with a SUV that was making an illegal U-turn at the time. Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is state, and not federally, regulated, and it is unclear from the known facts if the NEMT company was in compliance with Michigan law.
Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) accidents often happen due to the negligence on the Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) driver. Drivers have fallen asleep at the wheel, crashed into ditches, and failed to properly secure their patients into the vehicles.
The NEMT driver claims the deceased was “well-secured” into the vehicle, though the official investigation has not concluded. | 2019-04-20T18:41:15Z | https://markslawgroup.com/patient-dies-in-medical-van-crash/ |

Traditionally, a sponge cake is a cake that strictly relies on air as a leavening agent and that’s made with nothing but flour, starch, sugar and eggs. Obviously, a Chocolate Sponge Cake would also call for the addition of cocoa powder, but that’s basically it.
That makes for a very light cake, but one with a baking process that is fairly delicate: it’s really easy to lose all the precious air that you’ve worked so hard at incorporating throughout the different steps of the process.
The trick to successfully making sponge cake is to incorporate as much air as possible into the various components, more specifically the eggs and flour and, more importantly, to preserve it once that’s been achieved.
There are many different ways of making sponge cake, one of the most popular being the foam method. Technically, with that method, you’re supposed to heat the eggs while whisking them at the same time until they have reached the proper temperature and then whisk them some more in a stand mixer until they have reached the right consistency. Some bakers even separate the yolks from the whites and beat them separately, heating only the yolks and whipping the whites cold, and then carefully reunite both parts of the eggs once they have been properly dealt with.
Then, you’re supposed to transfer the fluffy egg mixture to a large bowl and sift the dry ingredients over those inflated eggs while delicately folding in the flour with your other hand.
So, I started making sponge cake “the lazy way”… I do the whole thing in a single bowl: that of my stand mixer. Works perfectly well, if you want my opinion. Yields a beautiful, light and airy cake that’s filled with tons of air pockets of various sizes.
And that is precisely what a sponge cake is all about!
First, melt some butter and mix the vanilla extract right into it. Set that aside.
Then, sift together the flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, and salt.
I know, I know… I said this was the lazy way of making sponge cake and yet, I STILL require that you sift the dry ingredients. Not very lazy-like, I agree. But hear me out: there are certain steps that you really do not want to skip, no matter how lazy you feel that day. Sifting would be one of them, in most cases anyway.
Even after I’d forced it down the sieve, there were still LOTS of slightly larger particles that got trapped in there… this isn’t always the case, sometimes every little bit makes it through the sieve, but I wouldn’t want to risk throwing any of that into my baked goods.
The second reason for sifting your dry ingredients is to incorporate air into them. See how light and fluffy that flour and cocoa powder mixture looks now that it’s been sifted?
When this gets incorporated into the whipped eggs later, it’ll fall softly, like little droplets of rain, and it won’t scare the heck out of your eggs, causing them to instantly deflate!
Now that the sifting is out of the way, butter AND flour two 8″ round cake pans.
My favorite way of doing this is to cover my pans with a light coat of softened butter (I use a pastry brush or even my bare, clean fingers) and then, once the pan is completely covered, I throw a few tablespoons of flour in there.
I move the pan around until all the butter is completely coated in flour and then I transfer the excess flour to the next pan.
Then, I hold the pans upside down and bang them gently on the counter a few times to remove any excess flour. You’d be surprised at how much gets removed, really! This WILL send little clouds of flour flying around your kitchen, but it’s very well worth it, trust me!
See how super fine that coating of flour is? This simple little precaution totally ensures you that no extra, unwanted flour accumulated anywhere in the pan, especially around the bottom edge.
Now that your pans are prepped, now would be a good time to preheat the oven to 375°F.
Now crack the eggs into the bowl of your stand mixer and pour the sugar right in.
As soon as the sugar has been added, you want to start whisking until well combined.
Now place your eggs and sugar over a bath of simmering water and whisk lightly but continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture feels warm to the touch.
I feel I need to insert another little warning here, or perhaps even two!
Unless you’re wanting to make sweet scrambled eggs, make sure that your water bath isn’t too hot! Just barely simmering water is what you’re after. And for the exact same reason, make sure that you whisk constantly and never ever stop whisking not even for a second.
First, you need to feel it regularly to make sure that it’s not too hot. It should never get past warm. Hot would be too hot.
Also, every 30 second or so, you’ll want to rub some of the mixture between your fingers and as soon as it feels really smooth and that you can’t feel any sugar granules anymore, the eggs are ready for the next step.
Equip your stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip the eggs on high speed for 10 minutes, or until the eggs have reached their maximum volume.
You’ll know that the eggs have reached maximum volume when the mixture stops expanding in the bowl.
As it whips, it’ll get lighter and lighter and will expand greatly.
After 10 minutes, it should have just about tripled in volume and will no longer climb up the side of the bowl.
Also, the egg mixture should form a ribbon that holds its shape for a few seconds when you lift the whisk and let it drip.
At this point, you want to reduce the speed to medium and continue whisking for another 5 minutes, until the mixture is really pale and gets thicker in consistency.
Can you get a sense of how much thicker this got?
Now switch to the paddle attachment and VERY DELICATELY sprinkle (in a fine shower) the SIFTED flour and cocoa mixture in, while the motor is turning on the lowest possible setting.
Mix until all the flour has been added, no more, which shouldn’t take more than a few seconds. There may still be streaks in the batter and that’s perfectly fine.
If you wanted to play it real safe, though, and preserve as much of that precious air as possible in your eggs, you could also incorporate the flour by hand, folding it delicately with a rubber spatula instead.
Pour in the melted butter and continue mixing until just incorporated, no more. That should take about 5 seconds, tops!
Oh, and about that butter, I know that I said your typical sponge cake doesn’t call for it, but I like to add some to mine to give my cake a little bit of extra richness as well as a tad more moisture. You could very well leave it out, though, if you wanted to.
As you can see, the eggs will lose a little bit of their volume as you add the flour, but not so much. It is absolutely imperative that you do not overmix your batter, though, otherwise you will end up totally deflating your eggs.
If you have to, DELICATELY finish mixing the batter with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans, dividing it equally between both pans. Do not spread the batter: it is thin enough that it will settle nicely into place without any assistance on your part.
Bake the cakes for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Do not open the oven door sooner than 15 minutes into the baking process, though, and shut it very gently so to not disturb the rise of this delicate cake.
…then turn them onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
When you are ready to use the cakes, split them into two even layers. To do that, gently place one hand on top of the cake and with your other hand, score the side of the cake with a long serrated knife, exactly halfway up the height of the cake.
Score all around the side, cutting about half an inch deep into the cake.
Once you’ve gone around once, rotate the cake again and cut about 1 inch into the cake this time; keep rotating the cake, cutting deeper and deeper inside the cake with every new turn.
Until finally, your cake is split into two separate layers, exposing all its beautiful pockets of air!
So tell me, what’s it gonna be?
Preheat the oven to 375°F; butter and flour two 8" round cake pans. Hold the pans upside down and bang them gently on the counter a few times to remove any excess flour. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, and salt; set aside.
Melt the butter and mix the vanilla extract right into it. Set that too, aside.
Now crack the eggs into the bowl of your stand mixer, pour in the sugar and whisk without delay, until well combined.
Place your eggs and sugar over a bath of simmering water and whisk lightly but continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture feels warm to the touch.
Equip your stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip the eggs on high speed for 10 minutes, or until the eggs have reached their maximum volume (it'll stop expanding in the bowl) and the mixture forms a ribbon when you lift the whisk and let it drip.
At this point, reduce the speed to medium and continue whisking for another 5 minutes, until the mixture gets really pale and thick.
Switch to the paddle attachment and very delicately sprinkle the flour mixture in, while the motor is turning on the lowest possible setting. Mix just until all the flour has been added (there will still be streaks in the batter) and then pour in the melted butter. Continue mixing until just incorporated, no more (that's about 5 seconds, tops) Whatever you do, DO NOT overmix the batter, as this would seriously deflate your eggs. Delicately finish mixing the batter with a rubber spatula and then divide equally between the 2 prepared pans. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean. Do not open the oven door sooner than 15 minutes into the baking process and shut it very gently to not disturb the rise of the cake.
When fully baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pans for about 5 minutes, then turn them onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
When you are ready to use the cakes, split them into two even layers: gently place one hand on top of the cake and with your other hand, score the side of the cake with a long serrated knife, exactly halfway up the height of the cake.

Keep rotating the cake and cut about 1 inch into the cake; rotate the cake some more, cutting deeper and deeper inside the cake until your cake is split into two separate layers.
Hi!! Can these cakes be frozen? Also, when heating the eggs and sugar, is there a target temp i should be looking for?
Absolutely! And not really a specific temp. Just be sure the sugar is entirely dissolved and of course, don’t let the mixture get too hot or the eggs will curdle. | 2019-04-21T01:15:49Z | https://eviltwin.kitchen/chocolate-sponge-cake/ |

Alfie Kohn writes and speaks widely on human behavior, education, and parenting. His thirteenth book, The Myth of the Spoiled Child: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom About Children and Parenting, will be published in the spring of 2014. Of his earlier titles, the best known are Punished by Rewards (1993), No Contest: The Case Against Competition (1986), Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason (2005). and The Schools Our Children Deserve (1999).
Kohn has been described in Time magazine as "perhaps the country's most outspoken critic of education's fixation on grades [and] test scores." His criticisms of competition and rewards have helped to shape the thinking of educators -- as well as parents and managers -- across the country and abroad. Kohn has been featured on hundreds of TV and radio programs, including the "Today" show and two appearances on "Oprah"; he has been profiled in the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, while his work has been described and debated in many other leading publications.
Cindy Marten is deeply committed to creating educational conditions and opportunities that enable all children to become actively literate, contributing and participating members of a democratic society who make a positive difference in the world. After participating in a seven-year improvement effort at a struggling school in Poway Unified, Marten chose to take her experience to one of the most challenging schools in San Diego Unified — Central Elementary in City Heights— where she served for 10 years as teacher, instructional leader and principal.
At Central Elementary, Marten worked passionately at attracting and retaining high-quality, dedicated staff. She nurtured innovative programs to support her students and staff including: a highly successful bi-literacy program, a hands-on school garden program, quality after-school and preschool programs, employees’ child day care center, and a community health and wellness center for students and their families. Her team’s success was validated by steady and improved student achievement, which included an increase in the school’s Academic Performance Index (API). By 2012 it reached 788, just shy of the state target of 800.
As the district’s new superintendent, Marten looks forward to leading the district team and community with a singular focus on student success. She believes that there are NO EXCUSES when it comes to providing children with the very best conditions that will enable them to become confident, successful learners who can achieve their dreams. Marten will work with the Board of Education to implement Vision 2020, creating quality schools in every neighborhood throughout the district. | 2019-04-19T00:58:01Z | https://www.youngaudiences.org/why-arts/where-art-lives-keynote-speakers |
