Susan Wagner remembers the first time she attended a performance at the Met. She was all smiles through the entire production of Die Fledermaus. Susan Wagner is an artist, a painter. She learned the most about her craft from the filmmakers and sound editors for whom she worked in New York.

Even at a young age I was fascinated by the beauty of nature and it has exerted an elemental pull on me ever since. This authentic experience stands in shrill contrast with the world in which I have lived and worked for the last decade, a world dominated by mere appearance, social media posturing and superficiality. The driving force behind my work is the desire to inject the rawness of nature into the seamless, controlled perfection of my photographs in order to undermine the facile gaze of viewers unaccustomed to scratching any deeper than the surface. The scenarios I create go far beyond the individual or the anecdotal. My aim is not merely to create an aesthetically appealing photo, but to create something larger than life. That is why I transform individual models into dramatic, iconic figures that tap into a deeper level of experience, melancholy and mortality. The real quest, however, is to discover true beauty inner, mysterious beauty for the viewer to gradually unravel. After years as a fashion photographer, I felt an emptiness and something calling me. It was time to take the journey inward, to transform. Photography was the only way for me to make this journey. Delving into the rich layers in my photographs enables me to connect with deeper layers of myself. My authentic self. It is a dramatic, ongoing and even vital process. My ultimate wish is that my art works will also awaken my viewers to a process of reconnection with the essential.

Polished concrete is a durable material that is increasing in popularity, whether it is used for floors, counter tops or tiles. Large surfaces like floors are usually polished with heavy machines that can be rented. Smaller projects can be polished with an ordinary electric sander or a hand-sander. A polished concrete tile is a good first project. Choose the best concrete mix for your project. Use a prepared sand concrete mix, or mix 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and one-half part water. If you want to use pigment in a bright or vivid color, use white cement and pale or white sand. Use a jigsaw to cut the cement board into the same shape as the bottom of the mold, but a little smaller. Place the board inside the mold. You should have about a one-inch gap all around the board. Cement board stiffens and supports the tile, making it possible to pour the concrete as thin as 1 inch. Spray the cement board to dampen it slightly. Mix the concrete according to package directions. Pour it into the mold a little at a time. Stop several times and tap the edge of the mold with a hammer to release air bubbles. Drag the 2x4 board across the top of the mold from one side to the other to level the concrete. As you drag, jiggle the board back and forth slightly. This will help compress the wet concrete. If there are low spots, toss some of the excess concrete in them and level again. Without waiting for the concrete to dry, place the inlays on the surface of the concrete mix. Glass pieces, mother-of-pearl bits, or even attractive gravel all make good inlays. When the surface water has evaporated, use a hand float or trowel to smooth the surface. Embed the inlays by troweling over them until they are covered with the cream of cement and find sand that is on the surface of the concrete. Use a putty knife to shape and smooth the edges of the tile. Place a polyurethane sheet over the mold to hold in moisture. Leave the concrete in the form in a warm, dry spot for at least three days. Mist the surface periodically to keep it damp. Concrete is usually ready to polish after three days. If sanding ejects whole pieces of sand or inlay, wait another 24 hours to polish the concrete. Sand the concrete with wet/dry sandpaper or diamond pads. You can use an electric hand-sander or a conventional hand-sander. Start with a 100-grit or 120-grit abrasive and sand the entire surface of the tile. Wipe the tile occasionally with a damp sponge to remove the slurry made by the sanding and to keep the concrete slightly damp. Switch to a 220-grit abrasive and repeat. Finish by sanding with a 400-grit abrasive. If you like the way the concrete looks, stop sanding. If not, sand a little more until you have the look you want. Let the concrete dry for several more days. Brush on a concrete sealer and let it dry completely before you use the tile. It will continue to harden for 28 days after pouring. If the concrete tile has any small gaps that you don't like, fill them with a paste of cement and water. Let the mix harden for several days and polish the surface. Wear rubber gloves when you work with concrete. Wear a disposable respirator when you mix dry pigment. If you get wet concrete on your skin, wash it off promptly. The Portland Cement Association (PCA) has resources for working with concrete. Paun, Lou.

Last night, I was invited along to the launch of a new service from BT – BT MyPlace. Unfortunately, it all got called off with the weather; they’d sensibly decided that it may have been a little difficult to demo a service that would involve us wandering around outside. BT MyPlace is a ‘pocket concierge’ system, for wifi devices. Register some of your preferences and when you are out and about – and can connect to the BT Openzone system in Westminster, you’ll be served relevant content. It’s a very local service, looking at the choices on offer, it’s focused on tourists. You don’t need to access over BTWifi though, as it seems to work perfectly well over standard connection. To get it set up for the first time, you have to register on the site. Interestingly, I expected the confirmation to be sent to my phone, but instead it’s an email. On reflection, that’s because not all mobile wifi devices are phones, in fact, most aren’t if you consider laptops. Next set your preferences. The UI on this site is a little raw to my eyes. The links to setting preferences are tucked away at the top, within preferences you have this weird mix of radio buttons and check boxes. My first thought was that I could only choose one type of preference, as radio buttons are used for exclusive choices. At this point, I’m a little stuck. I’m going to try it out for real on the phone, but test searches were not overwhelmingly good when sitting at the desk whilst not in Westminster. I’m going to have to give it a try out in the outside world. I like the idea, it’s a good collaboration between BT and Westminster Council, I’ve just not seen it in action yet.

I am following a tutorial to change the html codes for my pages for SEO but it will not let me edit them. I have upgraded to Silver so I thought I would be able to do this. Any suggestions? I have just sent you a reply. Can you please let me know which Google application you're trying to use, if any? For example, Google Analytics, Google Apps, Google Webmaster. If you're not trying to do any of these, please let us know what you are wanting to do and then we can give further instructions. header tag and to make some key words bold amongst other things. This sounds like I know what I am talking about but I don't (!) but the tutorial seems easy to follow as long as I can edit the html text. I think there is something wrong with my keyboard. Part of my text is missing and i didn't type it in caps!! I'll try again. I am trying to add h1 and h2 header tags and to make some keywords bold.

Someone once said, “I don’t know what I think until I write it” and unfortunately I can’t remember who, and can’t be bothered to look it up – but this is my attempt at making a similar discovery. I found within me a quiet, unnamed desperation, that seemed to have woken up screaming. Disappointedly, it did not scream it’s name – just a long, howl of anguish. Now, as I have said before, everything I have going on in my life in wonderful – seriously, I am living so much more than I have ever dreamed. I love my husband, and this town I live in, my material goods are all above and beyond, and I am learning new skills (shout out to pintrest!) so nothing is going wrong – which leads me to conclude that as opposed to something be “wrong” in my life, it is instead a case of something simply not being there. I would assume this is tied to my lack of “community” – I am, perhaps, in need of a “bosom friend” as Anne Shirley liked to say. Thing is – I have no idea how to help this along! It is simple enough to meet people if you are in school, or at work, have a church you love, or even someone else to make introductions for you. I don’t know how to do it now. And as my departure date for the states becomes closer and closer, and as the duration of that trip still remains unknown – I add to this the fear that I will just get things started and then I will have to leave – and then the bond will weaken. But that is an absurd fear. Because I know that in order for relationships to grow, both sides need to be able to offer something. At the moment I feel I don’t have anything to offer – now this isn’t a “I’m not good enough” downer low self esteem thing – I know I am awesome! But I don’t have a car, or much space to entertain people at my place, or much spare cash… I feel really needy, and I realllly don’t want to be! I also had a bit of a pregnancy scare last week – only a little scary as my visa isn’t sorted yet, and that would be *quite* the hassle to organize with a baby on the way too! I think that the idea that I could very seriously be pregnant also was a bit of a wake-up call as to how isolated I really do feel here. If that happened, my mother and grandma, and aunts, and best friends, are all over an ocean. With jobs. They can’t come over and live life with me day-to-day! And while I have met some very nice people here, they aren’t relationships you really want to put this kind of a strain on. I think that is probably it. Nothing all that complex after all. Just something I need, and don’t know how to get. So…. now what? I turn to my religion at times like this, and I suppose this is that walking by faith (the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen Heb 11:1) and relying on grace. And that feels cool and nerve-wracking. Like repelling down a cliff face – something I love to do, AND terrifies me too. But I never want it to stop. The climb is nerve wracking, but the view on the way down, as you are suspended in the air, hundreds of feet up – is amazing. So that is what I will do. Keep pressing on, and walking with that faith that God loves me and has a plan for me and my life, and that he won’t let me drop. So as I stand with shaking knees, about to lower myself horizontally backwards off the cliff edge, I will take a deep breath, and enjoy the view. I’ll keep you updated as to what I see along the way.

Last week, we received news that President Assad's regime in Syria had used chemical weapons on its people. Volunteer emergency workers working in the Sukkari district of Aleppo reported that Syrian forces had flown helicopters over the suburb and dropped barrel bombs of chlorine on the men, women and children going about their business below. This is just the latest in the Assad regime's catalogue of brutality. Last February, Assad's air force launched a series of missiles at a field hospital. Medics rushed to find any signs of life from the rubble and pull them into an ambulance. Assad's jets waited, returned, and then flew over the ambulance as they drove towards the hospital. They then dropped another bomb on the ambulance. 25 civilians were killed, among them eight medical workers. But the jets were not finished. They flew over another field hospital and dropped another bomb. The Economist reported that Ahmed Tarakji, the president of the Syrian American Medical Society, said "there's no way that ... they didn't know what they were doing." This is barbarism worthy of the worst monsters of global history. It is a marked regression in the application of the norms of war. And yet for reasons which I will come to, there is no prospect that Assad - the man in whose name those bombs fell - will appear at the International Criminal Court. The first part of the blame must be laid at the door of the United States. At the very least the US could have enforced a no-fly zone. That, at least, would have prevented Assad's planes dropping chlorine on his people. But instead, President Obama refused. The US could have enforced a safe area for refugees. That, at least, would have allowed the many innocent victims of Assad's conflict to flee in safety. Instead, he dithered. US inaction in the face of Assad's brutality has consequences. Last week, an umbrella group of Syrian opposition groups met in London to put together a proposal for a future for Syria without Assad. If Assad were to fall, it would be this grouping who would fill the vacuum. The less the US and its allies do to remove Assad, the less likely that future will come about. One former member of Assad's government put it succinctly: "there was no pressure on the regime to accept this proposal." he said. "Why," he asked, "would [Assad] accept now when he did not in 2012; when the [navy] fleets of the US where in the Mediterranean and poised to strike him? [The Syrian opposition] have no pressure to bring against him because there have not been any developments in their favour." But the geopolitical cover Assad receives is only half of the story. It is acceptable to electorates because of a climate of opinion. Those which uphold it are equally culpable. Assad is able to continue to commit his crimes in part because of the rhetorical cover provided by journalists like Seamus Milne, Patrick Cockburn, John Pilger and even political leaders like Jeremy Corbyn and religious leaders like Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali. All have all stepped up to the plate to sow confusion. By describing all opposition to Assad as "Al Qaeda" and painting Assad as the real victim of US aggression they have muddied the waters. Arguments for action against Assad receive less public hearing thanks to the work of their pens. John Pilger, for example, has argued that Assad's survival is necessary to oppose ISIS, writing "the only effective opponents of ISIS are accredited demons of the west - Syria, Iran, Hezbollah." Patrick Cockburn has written that "there has to be some relationship between those who are attacking ISIS and the real forces on the ground." As if the only forces capable of attacking ISIS were those of Assad, an assertion which would be received bitterly by the Kurdish fighters who have done the most to repel the group and who are fully aware that there has intentionally been little engagement between Assad's forces and ISIS. The leader of the UK Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, also weighed in to support Putin's and Iran's entry into the war on Assad's side. He even went as far as claiming Iran was fully justified in assisting Assad with it's Shia militias and Hezbollah fighters as 'they presumably feel under threat that they may be next on the western countries hit list'. The Rev'd Nazir-Ali, not to be outdone, flew all the way to Syria with an unsanctioned British delegation for a face to face with Assad himself subsequently claiming on Channel 4 News that Assad was being "unfairly demonized in the West". In all these cases, these useful idiots have been blinded. They see the world through the lens only of a fight between two manichaean forces - those of the 'imperialist' United States and those who resist its advance. Any grouping allied with the former must be bad and any grouping allied with the latter must, in consequence, be beyond criticism. It is the logic of the playground. By muddying the case for action against President Assad, these analysts, journalists, and politicians become the accomplices to real suffering in Syria today.

Bargaining/Negotiation scenarios — bargaining a deal with your vendors, negotiating an exit price for your startup, negotiating the salary with a high value hire for your company etc. Fighting in lawsuits — fighting against false accusations made against you by your competitors, vendors, customers etc, filing a lawsuit against people who violated contracts with you etc. Managing a high impact and high velocity team for your company — how to ensure your business has the right corporate governance? where everybody works as a team and works towards maximizing results for the company without internal politics creeping up? etc.. Information Dis-symmetry is a situation when you as an agent do not know all the information that other agents in the system you are interacting with have. For example, let’s say you are trying to buy a used car in the market from a typical used car salesman and there are many like him in your city. Most of the used car salesman know the trick that they only have to present a “spick and span” car to you to convince you that the car is in a perfect condition. In other words, a “spick and span” car works as a signaling device to tell you that the car is in great condition although the underlying mechanical conditions can be horrible. The fact that underlying mechanical condition is “horrible” is most likely only known to the smart salesman and you as a buyer is in complete darkness. This scenario is called “Information Dis-symmetry”, sometimes also referred as “Strategic Uncertainty”. Defining the game as accurately as possible in terms of 1) agents 2) actions available with the agents 3) information available with the agents 4) pay-offs expected by each agent. Converting all games that are simultaneous in nature to sequential games. Converting all sequential games into sequential games of perfect information. Solving the decision tree by using backward induction. The above listing requires further expansion into what are sequential games? what are simultaneous games? and what are simultaneous games with perfect information? etc. I won’t go into deeper definition of them in this particular post but will give you a quick information here.. Simultaneous games — A game like “rock, paper and scissors” is a simultaneous game or another famous example is “Monty Hall problem” — game show where you have to chose one of three doors where there is a car behind one of the doors and goat in the other two. You get to take home the car if you choose the right door. So, in games of this nature, you can only be right in certain number of times given to the probability underlying the game. In essence, in business you should try to avoid games of simultaneous nature as the success can only be a probability. Which goes back to our point 2 — convert simultaneous games into sequential games. a) Sequential games with imperfect information — poker is an example of such a game wherein you can definitely observe the moves made by other agents and so can other agents about your moves but you don’t know all the “information” or cards held by the agents or present in table. This adds risk into your decision making and which is why poker is such a nerve wracking high stakes game. In such games, there is no clear first or second mover advantage and win/loss is still a game of probability just like in simultaneous games. However, the game play is still better than simultaneous games as you as an agent have the ability to recover from a bad move. This brings us to our third point why we need to convert sequential games with imperfect information into sequential games with perfect information. Finally, the last step of resolving the sequential games through backward induction is a popular technique that is used in computer science quite a lot. Once you have converted your business scenario or game into a decision tree, it just becomes a matter of finding the best final nodes you want to achieve and working backwards on the action steps that can take you there. Here is a quick video to describe how to use it. Huzzza!! let me know your thoughts on what was clear and not clear in the above post. The above post is in no way exhaustive to solve all the complex problems/games that happens in the real world. However, it does serve as a template to approach these problems and arrive at best possible solutions. Hope you enjoyed it.
