Simply put, duplicate content is any content that is “appreciably similar” or exactly the same as content that resides on your site, according to Google Webmaster Tools. Other sources of duplicate content include the use of both “plain” and secure protocol URLs (HTTP and HTTPS); no expressed preference for a www.domain.com versus domain.com (without the www); blog tags; and syndicated RSS feeds. Having multiple versions of the Homepage URL often leads to this, so it is advisable to stay with one URL as one main URL. When Google crawlers through the web to index the website but unfortunately the multiple duplication leads to the problems of lower SEO rankings.
There is a huge share of mobile internet in the traffic that goes to the website nowadays, so it makes sense to develop a mobile friendly website. If a website bit slow in opening on a smartphones and tablets, visitors will likely click away, upping your site’s bounce rate. Google takes into account for search rankings, including page visits, time spent on a page, visit duration and bounce rates.
Unnatural, spam-like, irrelevant, and “black-hat,” or “just plain bad,” backlinks can cause any website to take a hit in the search page rankings. Natural link building is appreciated but not the forced one or one that looks artificial.
When there is a traffic of consumers to a website, the visitors only look forward to an easy navigation and not having problems while engaging with website layout. If the website turns out to be irrelevant and is at variation with user’s interaction, we will see a drop in the website ratings on search engine.
Search engine sends crawlers to crawl through the website and index the pages, which Flash tends to create problems for indexing. So it becomes necessary to be out of the Flash mode and use HTML, CSS 3 and using videos for animation instead of Flash.
Error Number 404 is the most SEO irritants dysfunction and it is a problem that needs to be tackled immediately. So, it is advisable to immediately search for broken links on the page and look to make the website clean of errors.
Google just recently announced that they would start marking any non-HTTPS site as non-secure if the site accepts passwords or credit cards. Going even further, there are talks that Google will start giving HTTPS sites even more of an algorithmic ranking benefit over HTTP. It’s also one possibility that not secure site warnings will start showing up for sites directly in the search results, before a user even clicks through to the site. Time to move onto HTTPS folks!
There will be a lot of changes around the corner with the regular algorithm updates in the Google with time. So it is always makes sense to be ahead of the curve and work on the SEO aspect keeping in mind Google habits. | 2019-04-22T22:10:36 | https://www.samskritisolutions.com/blog/seven-seo-errors-you-can-fix-today/ |
As part of its ‘AI for Earth’ programme, Microsoft is pursuing a number of initiatives that draw on Artificial Intelligence resources to help preserve the planet’s ecosystems. This strategy enables the company to test how its research can be applied while at the same time burnishing its image among the general public.
When people talk about ‘artificial intelligence’, what springs to mind is usually humanoid robots as depicted in science fiction, or perhaps conversational assistants such as Siri and Alexa, that are able to launch a music playlist, give you the weather forecast or read out your diary entries to you. Or some people might immediately think of the AlphaGo software package from Google’s DeepMind, which soundly defeated the world’s best Go players in some highly media-hyped matches. However, we tend to think less about how we can use AI technology to protect the environment. Nevertheless, there is huge potential here, as the recent Microsoft initiatives in this field have shown. Last July, the computer giant launched a new programme called AI for Earth, whose purpose is to put Artificial Intelligence to work to help protect the planet. This means, for example, making it easier for researchers and organisations working to preserve our environment to use the technology. Four areas have been targeted: water, agriculture, biodiversity and climate change.
Microsoft quickly put its words into action by starting to work on three concrete projects. The Chesapeake Conservancy Project, which works to promote what is known as ‘precision conservation’ in Chesapeake Bay on the east coast of the United States, is the first of these. It uses AI for geographical mapping of the area. “If you want to protect an ecosystem, you need to know what it contains. Trees, rivers, plains, ditches; everything has to be listed. Today, this is done laboriously by hand. Our objective is to train computers so that the task no longer takes years, but just a few minutes,” explained Robert Bernard, Chief Environmental Strategist at Microsoft, when L’Atelier caught up with him at the Web Summit in Lisbon last November.
With the recent advances in deep learning – a branch of Artificial Intelligence which enables an algorithm to train itself up on the basis of a large volume of data – computers have become capable of deciphering the contents of a given image, identifying the image’s various components as well as, or often even better than, a human being. One example is Facebook’s algorithms which automatically identify faces shown in a photo. To quote Jeff Dean, who is Leader on the Google Brain Project: “computers have opened their eyes”.
Once you can identify a person, it is not that much more difficult to recognise an individual tree or a water course. Microsoft has teamed up with California mapping and spatial data analytics technology company Esri, and the Chesapeake Conservancy, an NGO, to apply the latest advances in image analysis to help protect Chesapeake Bay. By feeding an algorithm with the bank of images available for the area, they have managed to draw a map of the area that is more precise and up-to-date than previous versions, and far more quickly than if it had been done by hand. This new classification provides 900 times the amount of information as conventional 30-meter resolution land cover data; it is now at one-metre resolution land cover. Using the latest technology allows the NGO to spend less time on sorting out technical problems and more on actually protecting the environment.
Today we think that there are around ten million different animal species on the planet, and most of those have not been catalogued. In order to preserve these species, we need to know what they are. The technologies we use to spot them have changed very little in the last fifty years.
Mapping an ecosystem is a good start, but knowing how it works and identifying the different species that live there is just as important. This is what the second Microsoft project is all about. The basic idea is to use mosquitoes to help list the animals living in a given geographical zone. “Today we think that there are around ten million species on the planet, and most of those have not been catalogued,” revealed Robert Bernard, adding: “We think that they are going extinct at one thousand times the natural rate of extinction, and one hundred times the rate that’s required to sustain human life. Yet we don’t understand the majority of species on the planet, and with today’s technology – this is how we track animals with collars, we hope they run in front of cameras that we’ve placed on trees and in areas around the world – it’ll take potentially 500 years to catalogue all the species on the planet.” With this in mind, Microsoft is trying to come up with a more effective solution, based, says Robert Bernard on the question: “What if I can turn nature into a sensor for nature?” Working along these lines, Microsoft is using drones to find mosquito nests in a given area. Then a trap with audio and video sensors is set up. The trap draws on machine learning to recognise the species of mosquito the experts wish to catch.
If, for example, you want to check whether there are tigers in the area, the trap can be trained to recognise the varieties of mosquito that are known to bite tigers. The trap also uses infrared light to identify those mosquitos which have blood in their abdomen and so will provide crucial information. Once an interesting specimen has been spotted, the trap emits small quantities of carbon dioxide and blue light to lure the insect inside and then closes on it automatically. “When the trap is full, it will send out a signal to alert us. We then just have to take it to the lab. In the space of three hours we’ll be in a position to know which species are present in this ecosystem and in what number,” explained Bernard. By analysing the blood sucked in by the mosquitos, the researchers can count the species they already know and identify new ones. The system is currently trialling in Florida and Texas.
The second aim of this project is to catalogue and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, up to 75% of which are believed to be of animal origin. The system enables specialists to identify upstream diseases affecting animals and take appropriate action before they start to affect human beings.
The aim of the third project is to bring agricultural activities into greater harmony with natural ecosystems. With this in mind, Microsoft plans to make precision agriculture accessible to everyone, including farmers in the poorest countries or working in remote areas that have no Internet connection. “Not many farms around the world have WiFi or a 4G network. Now, installing sensors for precision agriculture serves no purpose if you can’t get the data out. To do that we use TV White Spaces, unused broadband spectrum. This means we can transmit high resolution data in ten-kilometer hops, using a little bit of a solar cell,” Robert Bernard told us. Several pilot projects have been run in Africa and India where, according to Robert Bernard, farmers have seen their yields increase by 20%. This idea is not only suitable for developing countries but also for some of the poorer areas of rich countries. In fact, 23 million people living in the United States today have no Internet connection. Microsoft has therefore set up the Rural Airband Initiative in the US. The target of this five-year plan is to provide, for a modest sum, broadband access to two million people living in remote areas.
Microsoft has a double interest in committing to help safeguard the planet. Firstly, protecting the environment is a basic challenge facing our civilisation, which nowadays is increasingly finding resonance among the general public. Secondly, of course, for enterprises such as Microsoft, Apple and Amazon, which constantly come into direct contact with consumers, this kind of initiative is not just a philanthropic exercise, it is also a business issue. Being seen to support pro-environment initiatives is good for their brand image, and so by definition for their revenue as well.
With this in mind, Microsoft has also committed to limiting its own impact on the environment. Robert Bernard reveals that the computer giant is now carbon neutral and is also planning to obtain half of its energy needs from renewable sources by next year. This will also involve taking a ‘greener’ approach to its data centres, as it is no secret that these facilities consume huge amounts of energy. In the long term, as well as presenting the company in a good light vis-à-vis the consumer, this energy policy switch will have the advantage of reducing both its dependence on fossil fuels and its operating costs.
real commitment or MARKETING POSE?
By no means least, these environmental projects will allow Microsoft to find ways of applying the results of its research into Artificial Intelligence. This technology is today becoming crucial in the rivalry between the US tech giants and each of them is trying to get the best out of it: IBM with Watson, Amazon with Alexa, Google with AlphaGo and Waymo, and Apple with Siri. Microsoft clearly has no intention of being left behind and testing out technology enables the firm to keep improving.
This strategy also helps Microsoft to reassure the general public about the growing use of Artificial Intelligence, which tends to make people anxious – whether we are talking about the much-feared ‘technological singularity’, killer robots, or just the prospect of mass unemployment as machines become capable of taking over most jobs from human workers. By showing that AI can also be put to work for the common good, Microsoft is cultivating a more positive image in the eyes of both the general public and the regulators.

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch today recognized a team from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the FBI’s Washington Field Office for the successful prosecution of four former security guards for Blackwater USA on charges stemming from their roles in the Sept. 16, 2007, shooting at Nisur Square in Baghdad, Iraq, that resulted in the killing of 14 unarmed civilians and the wounding of numerous others.
The team members were among 279 Justice Department employees and 33 individuals outside of the department to receive Attorney General Awards at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. Today’s 63rd annual ceremony recognized individuals for their outstanding service and dedication to carrying out the missions of the Department of Justice.
The team that worked on the Blackwater investigation was honored with the award for Distinguished Service, one of the Justice Department’s highest honors.
“These awards reflect the unwavering dedication to justice displayed by lawyers and support staff of our Office and others across the nation,” said U.S. Attorney Phillips. “The Nisur Square shooting presented a test as to whether our criminal justice system was capable of holding these American contractors accountable for their criminal acts overseas against foreign nationals. Those who worked on this case persevered through years of incredibly challenging work to prosecute those responsible for the shooting of innocent, unarmed Iraqi civilians, securing convictions that reaffirmed the commitment of the American people to the rule of law."
The Distinguished Service Award is one of the Justice Department’s highest honors for employee performance. Recipients exemplify the highest commitment to the Justice Department’s mission. The team members from the U.S. Attorney’s Office who were honored today include: Jonathan M. Malis, Chief of the Criminal Division; T. Patrick Martin, Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division; Gregg A. Maisel, Chief of the National Security Section; Kenneth C. Kohl, Deputy Chief of the National Security Section; Jay I. Bratt, former Deputy Chief of the National Security Section; Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Crabb, Jr., Christopher R. Kavanaugh, and David Mudd; former Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony Asuncion; and Victim/Witness Advocate Yvonne Bryant. Mr. Bratt and Mr. Asuncion are now Deputy Chiefs with the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, and Mr. Kavanaugh is now with the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Virginia.
Other team members who were recognized today include Attorney Demetra Lambros, of the Appellate Section of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division; Brian M. Rasmussen, formerly the FBI’s Assistant Legal Attaché (ALAT) in Baghdad and now Supervisory Special Agent of the FBI’s Houston Field Office, and Special Agents Marc Daniel Hess, Jeremy David Moore, Thomas F. O’Connor, and Katrice Stubbs, of the FBI’s Washington Field Office.
Those honored today represented a much larger group from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and other agencies that played an integral part in the extraordinary and unprecedented investigation and subsequent trial. These many contributors showed remarkable professionalism, tenacity, and courage throughout the investigation and prosecution of the security guards who were accused of taking part in the shooting in and around Nisur Square, a busy traffic circle in the heart of Baghdad. Those killed included 10 men, two women, and two boys, ages 9 and 11. At least another 18 victims were injured.
The four security guards who stood trial worked for Blackwater USA, a private security contractor that was paid by the U.S. government to provide protective services to U.S. officials. They were found guilty by a jury on Oct. 22, 2014, following a trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Over the course of 11 weeks, the government presented testimony from 71 witnesses, including over 30 from Iraq. This represented the largest group of foreign witnesses ever to travel to the United States for a criminal trial. The witnesses included 13 people who were wounded in the shootings, as well as relatives of many of those who died. The government’s witnesses also included nine members of “Raven 23,” the Blackwater team that was on the scene on the day of the shootings, including one former security guard who pled guilty in December 2008. | 2019-04-25T04:01:24 | https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/attorney-general-lynch-recognizes-blackwater-prosecution-team-award-distinguished-service |

Although he occasionally used a brush to finish a painting, his fluid, luminous, psychedelic landscapes are void of paint strokes. Jenkin’s work has often been exhibited in the same venues as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, artists who shared his instinctual working method.
Included in the exhibition is a Jenkins painting that gained fame after being seen in the James Bond film, “Diamonds are Forever.” The untitled painting adorned the walls of the John Lautner-designed Elrod House in Palm Springs where a fight scene from the 1971 Bond movie was filmed.
Jenkins received further exposure from Hollywood in 1978 when his paintings had a starring role in Paul Mazursky’s, “An Unmarried Woman,” with Academy Award winning actor Alan Bates, who portrayed a New York artist. The paintings supposedly done by the Bates character were actually the work of Paul Jenkins.
Throughout the 1960s, Jenkins’ work was shown at major galleries and museums worldwide, including those in Tokyo, London, New York, Paris, and Amsterdam. In 1963, he took over de Kooning’s light-infused loft in Union Square where he worked until 2000.
Regarding his paintings, Jenkins once said, “I have conversations with them, and they tell me what they want to be called.” Until his death in New York City in June 2012, Jenkins continued to work in acrylic on canvas, as well as watercolor on paper.
Jenkins’ work is found in international museums and collections including The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and San Francisco, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and the Tate Gallery in London. Thousands of items from the artist’s archives are now at the Archives of American Art of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC.
Heather James Fine Art offers a rare look into art history’s past and present featuring a wide breadth of genres including Impressionist and Modern art, Post-War and Contemporary, American, Latin American, Old Master, Photography and Design.
The gallery uniquely showcases blue chip and cutting-edge contemporary art while maintaining a respect for the integrity of antiquity and classical masterpieces. | 2019-04-23T14:43:49 | http://mail.artkabinett.com/ak-file/paul-jenkins-paintings-adorned-famous-films |
Creating a polished dessert buffet for your wedding reception is a piece of wedding cake! (Pun absolutely intended).
For the DIY brides of the world, this tutorial’s for you. Learn how to fashion your own dessert bar to dazzle, delight, and decorate your party.
When setting up your dessert bar, pay close attention to the size, scale, and proportions of desserts and containers. Do this by incorporating small and large dessert items as well as short and tall containers. The varied shapes will add much needed dimension to your buffet.
Place the tallest containers in the middle back row with the shorter pieces flanking both sides, as well as when you work your way towards the front of the table. For example, a tall pedastaled apothecary jar would situate in the middle back row with shorter displays surrounding its sides, and flat plates and bowls sitting in the front row.
What you offer at the dessert buffet is entirely up to you. There aren’t any must-haves and can’t-serves. Do what you want! However, DO keep these tips in mind when choosing desserts.
Your delicious desserts deserve to be presented in gorgeous fanfare. Be sure to have pretty cake stands, plates, bowls, and jars on hand.
These handsome brownie pops are presented upright on a white, scalloped edge cake stand.
Personalized macarons casually presented on a square platter are easy to access, inviting guests to enjoy immediately.
Don’t feel limited to assigning each dessert a single type of container. Mix and match for a whimsical look.
Here the macarons are prettily piled up in a pedastaled apothecary bell jar for an elegant presentation.
As pretty as the desserts and containers look, your dessert bar is incomplete without a stunning backdrop.
We incorporated this DIY mini gold glitter banner to call out the dessert buffet area as well as to add much needed design and sweet sentimentality – perfect for a happy wedding celebration!
Learn how to make this banner at “Get This Look: DIY Mini Gold Glitter Banner Kit” and shop the above dessert bar items at the Beau-coup dessert bar collection.

Almost 14 years ago, at the first AIGA business conference, I did my first speaking engagement. To say the lecture was awful and potentially career-destroying is generous. As a 20-something designer, I panicked. In the midst of the deluge of criticism, Bill Drenttel and Jessica Helfand reached out and gave encouragement, even inviting me to breakfast. Frankly, this was the thing that kept me going. Their seemingly innocuous act of hospitality goes to the heart of what Bill and Jessica are. Their careers have been motivated by work for the public good and the encouragement of a liberal, educated and critically informed design world. Their remarkable talent and intelligence could easily have led to lucrative careers at Halliburton, but they chose another route: leaving new york 10 years ago and setting up a studio in rural Falls Village, Conn. There, they design, write, engage and continue to encourage. Their energy and commitment to the design world and the greater culture inspire every designer to personally be far more than he or she believes possible.
SA: Bill and Jessica, let’s back up a few years. Bill, you were at Drenttel Doyle Partners and Saatchi & Saatchi. Jessica, you worked with traditional print media and seemed to be on a direct course to corporate identity and publications work. Then something changed. You packed up, headed north and focused on other ideas: new media, writing, advocacy and cultural institutions. Was there a specific epiphany or event that initiated the transformation?
WD: If there was a transformative period, it was the advent of the internet in the mid-1990s, a couple of years before we moved to the country. Jessica had already forsaken print design almost and was working on The New York Times’ first website. I came home one night and realized I was a lot more interested in her “new-media” work … than in doing another national packaging or identity program. Despite having great partners and a successful firm, I quit my job soon after this to work with Jessica. She was the trailblazer. Only months later we were hired to redesign Netscape and a suite of websites for the Times of London. We spent our first year together in business with me commuting to California and Jessica to London.
JH: If there was any epiphany, it also happened smack in the blur of new-parenthood. When our son was 1 year old, we bought a country house and ironically found we were hugely productive when we got out of the city. Two years later, Bill was briefly entertaining the thought of becoming a college dean when, shortly following the birth of our daughter, we just threw caution to the wind and moved up to the country full time. I suspect, looking back, we had some general premonition that fresh air and milk from the farm would be good for the children, though it is likely we were just as selfish about finding space for all our books. It turns out, though, we were right about the productive part: I always feel I have to apologize to our urban friends about the distance from Starbucks—about 18 miles—but we do spend a great deal less time stuck in traffic and a great deal more time making work.
SA: I could manage without a Starbucks, but good Chinese food? That would be a problem. Now you’re living in a rural setting a couple of hours north of New York City and are relatively isolated. You must have one of the largest design libraries in the region, and your studio space is extraordinary. Clearly this would never be possible in midtown Manhattan. Your library is remarkable. I need to visit and distract you while someone packs a suitcase of books. Does living and working in Falls Village make a better environment for inspiration or experimentation?
WD: We’re obviously less distracted by the joys of city life, and by the constant barrage of events, meetings and lunches that characterize a more urban practice. We also travel extensively, both in the U.S. and abroad, so our frame of reference isn’t only Falls Village. Mostly, though, we stay home: If we’re productive, it’s because of this simple fact. If there is completely, more experimentation, part of it is probably explained by those long winter nights.
SA: You have a tight and efficient crew. I picture an Ethan Frome setting in the winter: daily sledding with evenings trapped in a warm room. Did I get that right? How does the studio work?
JH: We have one designer and one office manager, plus the two of us, and occasionally an intern. We’ve found over the years that it’s not so easy to get a designer who appreciates the complexity of our practice, yet at the same time enjoys the simplicity of a fundamentally rural lifestyle. But when we do, it’s utter perfection, and we’ve been blessed by an amazing series of talented people coming through our studio. It’s true that the winters are long, and you have to drive a lot, and you have to be utterly fearless when it comes to things like snow tires. It helps that teaching and publishing—and, in particular, things like Below the Fold: and Design Observer—help to keep us in touch with the world on an ongoing basis and in a fairly international way.
WD: Our practice is more personal than professional, and Jessica and I don’t always care about the same things. However, the best design work we’ve done generally has both our hands on it. We try to give our staff the same freedom and respect. I’m not sure we are so efficient: We simply work long hours. It’s a tight team, but hardly a tight work environment.
SA: I’ve found a common thread with all of the subjects of my STEP Q+As: You all share an unbelievable amount of energy and succeed not just at one thing, but at many things. From the studio’s design work to Design Observer to writing books and serving on boards, both of you must not sleep. This needs to stop because you’re making everyone else look lazy. This might seem like a question that would be asked on The View, but how are you accomplishing all of this?
JH: Bill will be the first to tell you that I don’t willingly stay up past 10 p.m. What he casually omits is that I get up at 5. Bill, on the other hand, is the ultimate night owl, so together we make one really whole person. The longer answer is that we operate on a kind of divide-and-conquer system; this is the only way to write, publish, make things, run a practice and—oh yes!—raise a family. I suppose if I were asked the question on The View I might reverse the order. The one thing we do together is lecture—it’s a good excuse for us to take stock of where we are and assess where we’re going, plus we famously disagree about pretty much everything, a detail that can make the podium a relatively interesting public arena.
WD: The question of productivity is ultimately a question of passion. We love what we do and are continually amazed at the ways design—as a methodology, as an end-result and as a community—leads to powerful results. As individuals, we love making things, but we also want design to be something larger than our own efforts. Building large initiatives and programs with social impact puts us in a world beyond our village, beyond our small staff, beyond our own experience.
SA: Talk to me about Design Observer, which is the largest online design publication in the world, with over a million site visits a month. How did this come about? It’s a format that relinquishes editorial control and allows for multiple voices and points of view. Does this drive you nuts?
JH: Almost 5 years ago, Bill approached Michael Bierut and me—and Rick Poynor, the other founding editor—and suggested we start a blog. We arrived at two main criteria quite early: one, that we cast a wider net and write about design for a more general and ideally more global audience; and two, that if we agreed to write thoughtfully, we might actually encourage more thoughtful comments. And while we were initially criticized for being too elite—too much in the style of, say, the academic lecture hall—this is largely what we’ve become. One thing I am especially proud of is the degree to which students participate in Design Observer. Every time I am a guest critic at a school, this is the first question I am asked [about]. And for students, the opportunity to read and participate in a conversation with us, and with our other contributors, is really quite a remarkable thing.
WD: The fact that we are a blog with numerous contributing writers and guest observers does not mean there is no editorial control. In fact, what distinguishes Design Observer from most blogs is our focus on the writing. Ultimately, we are not blogging in the contemporary sense of the word. Rather, we are publishing 150 essays a year within the context of something that looks like a blog. The fact that a few of our readers also make comments also makes it a blog, but … only a tiny fraction of readers comment. Michael, Jessica and I do not necessarily agree with the views presented in all of these essays—or necessarily with each other’s writings, for that matter—but we do take responsibility for everything that’s published on the site. In this light, Design Observer is a more controlled and considered editorial product than it might otherwise seem.
SA: Bill, you were national AIGA president, and Jessica, you’ve driven multiple initiatives that contribute to the greater community. You both founded the Winterhouse Institute, which incorporates a range of programs including the Polling Place Photo Project, a collaboration with The New York Times; Below the Fold:; the Contents book; the Wolfsonian project and AIGA Winterhouse Writing Awards. Don’t you know how much good television exists?
WD: Beyond believing that designers have many ways to participate in social and political culture, it’s not so interesting to generalize here. Every project has its own motivations, a specific history and, in many cases, additional collaborators and even partners. Our own paradigm shift was simply to ask ourselves why we needed clients in order to produce work that we care about? Why can’t we initiate our own initiatives? These days, we still have clients, but now half our work is of our own making.
SA: That leads me to a basic question: Why is writing and critical thinking important in the design world?
WD: Neither Jessica nor I went to art school, but we did our undergraduate work in large universities—I went to Princeton and Jessica to Yale—so it’s more than likely our orientation is informed by … this background. We both share a deep respect for the liberal arts; an abiding curiosity in the humanities; a love affair with history, with science. Across all of these disciplines, language in general—and critical thinking in particular—remain fundamental components. So, yes, writing is a significant aspect of our practice—of how we define ourselves as designers—and we would probably go so far as to say that without a sense of how words can be orchestrated, design stands a pretty good chance of going nowhere.
JH: I’d answer simply that it is because writing and critical thinking are important in life, period. I often hear people argue that these activities are impediments to creating things, to making work. But I’d argue they’re complementary activities. For me, I have always found that I work some things out by writing, and other things by resolving formal issues in the studio. The third component for me is teaching. I’m better when I do all three; take one of them away, and I feel less connected to what I’m doing and less productive as a result.
SA: A common question I hear when I’m speaking at an AIGA chapter is, “How did you convince a client to let you do that?” Typically, the projects they are referring to are self–generated and authored. It gives us a chance to explore ideas we typically wouldn’t encounter. You’ve taken this one step further and have become a publishing house. I think you’ve made the idea of self-authorship concrete to many designers. Why did you decide this was a good direction for a design firm? Was it difficult to make happen?
WD: Acting as publishers has created endless opportunities for us as designers—to design literary works and nonfiction that we care about, and to reach audiences we wouldn’t otherwise. While we’ve published many books at Winterhouse, we also have partnered with a number of university presses to publish design works, social history and German literature. The reasons to pursue such avenues are ultimately simple: to exert more control over projects, in their selection, their content, their form and their distribution. There’s another way to think of this: publishing, along with writing, as integrated aspects of a design practice.
SA: There is an inherent European influence in your work. I love that it combines a clear and honest American pragmatism with European traditions, formal and conceptual. How often do you travel? And does that have any influence on your work?
WD: In the past year we’ve been to Europe a half dozen times, plus probably visited 10 U.S. cities. Now that our children are older, we are hoping to again make longer trips to India and Asia. But while we travel a lot, the game plan is not to be on the road constantly, so we schedule travel in well-organized bursts. For us, it’s a dose of speed once a month. I don’t think either of us would say our work is particularly “European,” except perhaps in a pluralistic, literary sense. Europeans are less threatened by things with historical implications—and by ideas that might be called “intellectual.” We’re increasingly comfortable with the notion that we have a practice that seeks to engage ideas on these levels.
SA: Jessica, I wrote a letter a few months ago describing your scrapbooking project. I hadn’t considered its impact until I was forced to articulate the project. Your work looks at scrapbooking through a historical and sociological lens, while tracking visual evolution as it mirrored societal and design movements. You’ve uncovered remarkable personal stories and complex narratives buried in scrapbooks from the 19th century to today. This is a ground-level sense of history told, with images, text and ephemera providing an emotional connection typically lost in traditional historical research. What are you doing with this information?
JH: This book [Scrapbooks, published by Yale University Press] is the fulfillment of more than 20 years of thinking about two things: one, how to make history in general—and design history in particular—meaningful and memorable to a general audience; and two, how to inject something human and palpable, and I would even go so far as to say dramatic, into a discussion of graphic design. I spent nearly three years looking at hundreds of scrapbooks, photographing them, reconstructing their internal stories, and finally writing and designing this book. Now we’re doing a website, and there’s been some interest in a documentary film. But on the other end, I’ve been working in my studio with real ephemera and this newer, “reproduction ephemera”—yes, that’s an oxymoron, but these facsimiles are stunningly convincing and will last a lot longer than their authentic counterparts—experimenting with them and making things that push the boundary of new and old paper. It’s sort of like being a director, in which you use the manipulation of paper to stage something. Put another way, I know a lot of designers, myself included, balk at the idea of contemporary scrapbooking having anything even remotely to do with what we think of as graphic design. But if you just isolate some of the materials and begin to think about them as you would any other visual set of forms, there’s a kind of interesting transformation that starts to happen.
SA: So what’s next for you in your lives and careers? In 10 years when you’re empty nesters, where do you see yourselves? Will you stay in Connecticut?
WD: In some ways I think we’ve finally figured out what we do well, and the projects and opportunities just keep getting more interesting. Unless the next life-changing epiphany emerges, I suspect we still stay focused on a few amazing clients, grow the impact of Winterhouse Institute projects, and publish selected titles that catch our fancy. Yale University has become sort of second home for us, as Jessica has returned to the School of Art after a year’s hiatus, and I’m now teaching at the School of Management.
JH: Our children are 10 and 12 now, and we do occasionally wonder if this is the best place for us. I have this fantasy that we take Winterhouse—the institute, the studio, the imprint—and we get absorbed in some university community where we can continue to do what we do, on a slightly more public scale, and within a community of like-minded people. Because I really do see the practice as not so much growing [larger] as morphing into something more collaborative and maybe more culturally diverse. We’re thinking about an extended tour of duty overseas sometime in the next few years—a mini world tour for the children, some teaching for us and a change of perspective for everyone. I can’t quite process the children out of the house, nor do I want to. But I personally see myself making increasingly more experimental work, having fewer clients, reaching into different areas where we haven’t yet extended our reach.
SA: Rumor has it you’re planning on fixing American politics, solving world poverty, putting a poem in every person’s hand [see winning web work from Winterhouse in STEP’s Best of Web] and in general changing the world. You definitely follow Harry Truman’s description of Americans as people who “see the world not as it is, but as it ought to be.” What’s with the small goals?
WD: Designers have always wanted to change the world—it’s hard-wired in our DNA. Maybe it’s time to collectively organize our efforts to really begin to make those contributions. In the meantime, our little enterprise will continue just for the joy of the effort. | 2019-04-23T00:10:04 | https://www.burningsettlerscabin.com/bill-drenttel-and-jessica-helfand |
Solar Power | Off Grid on Lee's Ridge Solar Power, Simple Solar System, Build Your Own Solar System, Build A Solar Water Heater, Other Alternative Energy, Vegetable Gardening, How To Build A Cold Frame, Off The Grid Philosophy, Off The Grid Attitude, Get Off The Grid, A Movement?
If you have been reading in the solar energy forums and on the solar energy websites, you probably have the idea that solar energy is expensive and complicated to set up. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of the so called experts on the forums I read seem to be more concerned with impressing us with their knowledge than giving useful information. Sure, you can make a complex issue of anything but is it really necessary? No.
Many of the people I talk to seem to think that it takes thousands of dollars to get started with solar power. The fact of the matter is that you can build a simple solar system with one solar panel, one battery, one charge controller, and one power inverter. No, you are not going to be able to run your microwave oven or air conditioner with it, but you can run your laptop computer and some lights with it.
I know this to be true because it is exactly how I started sixteen years ago. I was curious about solar power so I traded for a used panel, bought a used car battery, used a Chevrolet voltage regulator for a charge controller, and had to buy the inverter new. The entire system cost me less than $75.00. I put it all together and learned the hard way, by trial and error. Looking back on it, the main thing that I learned is that you do not have to be an Electrical Engineer to build your own solar system that actually works.
The one thing you will not be forgiven is crossing polarities. Be sure that all your connections are positive to positive and negative to negative unless you are wiring them in a series to increase voltage. If you want to wire your panels or batteries in a series, make sure you know what you are doing before you actually make the connections. Use a little common sense about it and you should be ok.
One of the things I especially like about solar systems is that you can start small and build your system a panel or battery at a time until you have as large a system as you want. Of course, as you build your system up, you will have to upgrade your charge controller to make sure it will handle the amperage of more panels, and add more batteries to store more of the power you are collecting.
If you are the kind of person that will want to hire someone to design and set up a system for you, then you can expect to pay top dollar for it, but if you are willing to build it yourself, you can have a working solar system for little expense. Start small, according to your budget, and build it up over time. You can have as large a system as you want this way without a large cash expense. This is how I have built mine and I no longer need outside power.
You can purchase a complete starter kit from Amazon for $279.89. This kit comes complete with everything you will need to start out except the battery. It has 4- 15 Watt panels, PVC frame for mounting the panels, 200 Watt inverter, all the wiring and connectors to hook it up, and instructions to put it together and hook it up. It is the Sunforce 50048 60-Watt Solar Kit. I have had two of these kits for 4 years. I use them to power lights, my computer and modem, radio and television. I use 6 deep cycle marine batteries to store the power and seldom have to run a generator except when I want to run the air conditioning in the heat of the summer. I did have to replace one of the inverters last year after 3 years of use. This kit is the easiest and best way that I know of for you to start out with your own solar system. You do not have to waste time and effort piecing your first system together like I did, it is all there from the start, ready to use.
It’s much easier to udnesrtand when you put it that way!
I’m shocked that I found this info so esialy.
It?s really a nice and useful piece of info. I am happy that you simply shared this useful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
Hey There. I found your blog the usage of msn. This is a very well written article. I will make sure to bookmark it and come back to learn extra of your useful information. Thank you for the post. I will definitely comeback. | 2019-04-23T22:38:13 | http://www.offgridok.com/solar-power/ |

I think the British bloggers refer to itty bitty items such as the hair spray ceramic ($3.99) and the black and white hat ceramic ($3.99) as "smalls" [they are less than 3 inches tall] ~ so here are my finds from Thrift Town on El Camino in Sacramento.
Bag of soaps ($1.99) and bag of cards $1.99) - with my Thrift Town coupon, $5 off any purchase of $15.00 or more, I spent about $15.
Regal mouse (who may or may not lose his cape and crown and be recycled back) ($1.50) and a bag of Halloween and Christmas ornaments ($1.99) that I bought for one ornament in particular. It will most likely show up in my Commando Countdown to Christmas of a blog post a day. Little did I know how much work it is to prepare 25 posts in advance. There were scenes to be set (minature in scale nonetheless) pictures to be taken, cropped, adjusted, and posted to Blogger (which can be an ordeal at times, depending on internet speed). Enjoy!
Pink Saturday ~ Shop thrift, shop local, shop commando!
In revolt of Black Friday, I like my newly-discovered blogger's idea Dear Helen Hartman: Black Friday? I prefer Pink Saturday!
Three hook rug butterflies ($1.50), "spoiled rotten's room" hanging pillow (.25) and a pill bottle full of small beads (.25).
Took a walk out to the garden and discovered these late-blooming mums kissed with raindrops. The moisture reflected on the angel bird bath made for a great picture.
Things just didn't go as planned today, I had good intentions to ride my bike and rake some leaves but when my tires needed air (and no tire pump available), and the train going through the middle of town decided to back up after a 20-minute wait, I knew it was time to cut my losses. The SPCA Thrift on E Street in Sacramento called to me and this itty bitty ceramic rooster feller ($1.96) joined my "rescues."
Had wardrobe malfunctions too this morning ~ the colorful autumn skirt I picked up this weekend wrinkles horribly and a cashmere sweater I just retrieved from the dry cleaner had at least 4 small moth-holes. I keep a small sewing kit at my desk so I could do the quick repairs to the sweater, but the skirt is a goner. The clothes situation is part of the downside of buying thrift, sometimes you don't discover the flaws or defects until after you've left the house.
This original nautical watercolor was the best of the bunch at Amador Hospice Thrift ($8.50). To make the picture "pop" I painted the blue borders with a highlight of acrylic ultramarine blue. Now it is ready-to-hang worthy. I've been having such luck with orchids, these two books Easy Orchids ($1.50) and Complete Guide to Orchids ($2.50) will come in handy. The Romantic English Garden ($1.50) was also a keeper along with the No Boundaries loungewear ($3.50).
I couldn't pass up the book, The American Shakers and Their Furniture ($1.50), and The World of M.C. Escher ($3.50). Today's Best Reggae Hits ($1.50) will go to my reggae-loving daughter pictured below with Scatter, a recent rescue.
How could I resist this jeweled belly button troll ($1) at Cameron Park Snowline Hospital Thrift Shop? I splurged for tunes in the Hairspray CD, Patti Page's Greatest Hits and Earl 'Fatha' Hines and his Orchestra - Harlem Lament. I have no idea if Earl and his buddies are any good, but it will be fun discovering so. The embroidery in the background is a pillowcase border hand-stitched by my mom.
Friday night I had some time to kill before I met a friend at Zelda's Pizza in Sacramento, so it was a quick trip to Eco Thrift. Scored a Liz Clairborne sleeveless knit top (.99), a George ME sleeveless knit top (.99) and a JKLA black stretch skirt with sequin detailing ($2.99). Bought a bag of what I thought were fabric remnants (.99) but turned out to be placements, a few hand cross-stitched. These items will be utilized as backgrounds in future posts.
The autumn print skirt ($2.99), the small barrel planter, fits right in with my ranch/western decor ($3) and the packet of necklaces ($2.40). I saw the one NWT beauty and the beast Disneyland necklace and thought it was all one piece of jewelry but it appears the one small necklace is true gold box chain.
So the beauty and the beast necklace will go to my niece, pictured below with the tiara.
And since Taqueria Jalisco, 330 16th Street, Sacramento, was across the street from Goodwill - I sampled the chicken tostada. Yum!
These three sweeties were separated into three separate Christmas ornament bags at the Thrift Town on El Camino Avenue in Sacramento. Anyone who has been thrift shopping knows you have to sort through a lot of crap, debris, junk stuff before you find what you may or may not have been looking for.
My angels were also in perfect shape - no chips or cracks. I had two buy $10, receive $3 off Thrift Town coupons. One coupon I used for this purchase and the other I gave to another shopper. I meet the nicest people thrift shopping. It is not like shopping retail, people rarely strike up random conversations at say Macy's.
This Thanksgiving Ty Beanie Baby was a thrift shop rescue at some point during the past year. Beanie babies can be bought by the bag at the thrift shops now. But when I see a holiday-themed one, I tend to save them for the occasion. He is also resting on a small wicker cornucopia and a fall-themed Tiara International sweater (both TSF). I wore the sweater on Halloween but am undecided whether I will keep it or recycle it back into the great Thrift Shop Beyond.
11-11-11 ~ A day for good things to happen!
I wasn't going to head to Thrift Town on El Camino Avenue in Sacramento. I was thinking, "I have too many clothes." But, you know, a girl can't have too many clothes! This red cashmere beaded beauty NWT from Charter Club was my first find ($13.99).
Then there was the cornflower blue Merona shell and sweater set ($5.59).
And finally the Inc (Macy's brand) fun print retro-look shirt with bell sleeves ($5.59). Because it was 30% off clothing day, the lines were very long.
I was able to sneak into the Snowline Hospital Cameron Park shop, 2650 Cameron Park Drive, Suite 220, Cameron Park, California, 95682, (530) 344-4480, just a few minutes prior to the 3:00 p.m. closing time on Sunday and snagged this faceted-cut Amber ring ($6). What delighted me about this piece is it replaces a similar ring that I lost a few years ago.
Madalin wanted to get into the picture when I was photographing the ring and the Allison Taylor silk blouse ($3).
And now there are two ~ isn't that how collections start?
The butter churn cookie jar ($5) and Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing ($1) were my fortunate finds at Interfaith's Great Finds in Sutter Creek, California. A couple of months back, I bought the barrel cookie jar at Interfaith for $15. Now I own a pair of cookie jars, if I collect one more is that the beginning of a collection? Would love comments, please post your thoughts on collections.
I know time to get a new camera phone! But at least you can get the gist of my finds: a leopard cloth frame (69 cents), Andy Williams at Christmas (99 cents, am a big fan!), a ceramic round hairbrush ($1.49 to be soaked in ammonia before use), a bag of soaps and shampoos ($1.49 some to use for traveling, some to use in toiletry gift bags for the organization WEAVE, women escaping a violent environment), Charming bracelet ($5.99), three bracelets tied with ribbon ($2.99) and a NWT Mervyns JPR skirt ($5.99).

Iglesia collections stashed in Cayman?
IGLESIA ni Cristo (INC) members in the United States were asked to bring $100 bills for their offerings, a former head of the church’s foreign mission said as he confirmed receiving reports about INC leaders skimming cash off collections as early as 2011.
Allegations that collections from cash offerings in the United States were being stashed possibly in the Cayman Islands have been swirling for some time, said former minister Isaias Samson Jr., who was expelled in July on suspicion that he was the one who wrote critical online stories about the INC governing council.
Samson said that back in 2011, the arrival of a roving auditor to pick up the entire collections after worship services, instead of these being deposited in a bank, raised alarm bells among some congregations in the United States.
“I know the members. They’re very close to me. And they were asking me: ‘How come offerings are being picked up immediately and the members were being asked to bring $100?’” he said in an interview last week.
Samson received the reports when he headed the church’s foreign mission from 2007 to 2012. An ordained minister for 43 years, he was a resident minister in the United States for 18 years and in Europe for two years.
When the new scheme was carried out, only amounts below $100 were deposited in the bank, Samson said.
“This scheme probably began in 2011. The members were shocked but they’re very obedient. They just rationalized that the church needed the money for the construction of chapels until they found out that commissions were being made out of the construction of chapels,” he said.
Samson was unaware if the reports reached INC executive minister Eduardo V. Manalo.
Of an estimated 3 million INC members in the Philippines and abroad, some 100,000 can be found in the United States, according to Samson.
He accused INC leaders of illegally detaining him in mid-July, a charge dismissed by state prosecutors. He had been suspected of blogging about corruption in the 101-year-old homegrown church under the pseudonym Antonio Ebangelista. He has denied this.
American Vincent Florida, a former minister in the INC Northern Virginia congregation, has reported the sect, Manalo and general auditor Glicerio Santos Jr. to the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax fraud.
Florida told the Inquirer he filed his report in IRS form 3949A for failure to pay taxes in August.
The form is used for reporting suspected tax fraud, including false exemptions or deductions, kickbacks, false or altered document, failure to pay tax, unreported income and organized crime.
Florida left the church on July 30 amid charges of corruption in the INC and abduction of ministers critical of the sect’s leadership.
He claimed that congregations were asked to convert cash collections into $100 bills and turn over the money to district auditors. He said only offerings in checks were deposited in the bank.
The district auditors in turn remitted the cash to Santos during pastoral visits.
He did not respond when the Inquirer sought his comment on the alleged diversion of INC collections.
INC insiders, collating testimonies from members in the United States, documented a scheme committed right under the noses of some ministers.
The offerings are converted into $100 bills at a local or parish for easier transport, collected by the district auditor or minister “under duress” and brought to a collection center, like a conveniently located chapel.
The collections are consolidated at a hotel where Santos, the INC’s chief finance officer, is billeted, or stashed in a vault at the church’s US main office in California, for eventual pickup.
The scheme is carried out during “big events”—when Manalo or Santos is around for a pastoral visit—and in locals headed by “obedient” resident ministers.
In their calendar, the major cash-generating thanksgiving services are held in the third or fourth weekend of July and in the third week of December.
Congregations in Long Beach, California; Elizabeth, New Jersey; Washington, DC; Temple Hills, Maryland; Bronx, New York; Seattle, Washington; Anaheim, California; and Corpus Christi, Texas, received verbal instructions to collect $100 bills for the thanksgiving service in July, the insiders said.
The insiders said it wouldn’t be a surprise to find a huge drop in bank deposits.
For instance, from $20,000 in December 2011 and $20,500 in December 2012, the deposits dropped to $12,000 in December 2013 in a certain local, they said.
“These are brought to the Cayman Islands through a small plane and then a big plane. The plane is registered in Cayman,” Samson said, citing reports from members in the United States.
The transport of money allegedly by the church-owned Airbus could not be confirmed.
Florida alleged that Manalo, Santos and other INC leaders had managed to stay under the radar for years because they carried the cash on a private plane that they used for their regular pastoral visits to the United States. | 2019-04-23T06:55:46 | https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/743521/iglesia-collections-stashed-in-cayman |

Diksha an Anouk were recently on board of the Mare Nigrum on a sampling expedition on the Black Sea, together with Bianca Pavel from GeoEcoMar.
We are very happy and will keep up the good spirit.
Part of the PRIDE group plus partners after the mid-term review at the presentation of the new book of Salomon Kroonenberg called Spiegelzee.
PRIDE proudly presents the identfication sheet to the most characteristic mollusk species of the Black Sea. We invite everybody to participate in the PRIDE project by uploading observations to the iNaturalist portal. Find pdfs of the identification sheets in four different languages on this page.
To engage with citizen scientists the PRIDE project has developed an identification sheet to the most chararcteristic mollusks of the Black Sea. The identification sheet covers species that occur in the Black Sea, Estuarine-coastal lake areas - the typical Pontocaspian habitat, and in fresh water habitats. The identification sheet also has a short manual on how to upload your observations to the iNaturalist portal and allows everybody to particpate in PRIDE and to enrich the dataset available to biodiversity science in the Black Sea.
The purpose of the leaflet is: (1) Raise awareness of the uniqueness of Pontocaspian biodiversity and the current biodiversity crisis in different target groups. (2) Collect data on recent distribution of the Pontocaspian, Marine, Freshwater and invasive mollusk species in Northern Black Sea through the joint efforts of citizen scientists. This will help us update our distribution maps on our taxonomic platform: PC-Tax (www.mollusca.myspecies.info) whereupon we will be able to identify the areas of follow up action.
We are very pleased that WWF Ukraine has become a partner in PRIDE. WWF Ukraine will be advisor to our PRIDE project. WWF Ukraine Project officer for Danube/Freshwater Ms. Nataliia Gozak will be advising us on outreach activities in general and will help us organizing outreach activities in Ukraine.
Nataliia Gozak is also involved in the Life for Danube Sturgeons (LIFE+ project). Nataliia Gozak aims to enhance inter-project cooperation, networking and leveraging the results in both the Sturgeons and PRIDE project.
The Life for Danube Sturgeons project for “Sustainable protection of lower Danube sturgeons by preventing and counteracting poaching and illegal wildlife trade” is coordinated by WWF Austria and implemented in Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine from October 2016 until December 2020. The project is financed with the contribution of the LIFE financial instrument of the European Community and by WWF.
This is a follow up of the Sturgeons - protect Danube's treasures project for “Joint actions to raise awareness on overexploitation of Danube sturgeons in Romania and Bulgaria” that ran from July 2012 to September 2015 and aimed to tackle overfishing, the main direct threat to the survival of Danube sturgeons.

The PRIDE outreach plan (deliverable D4.3) is avaliable here.
For the Marie-Curie Training Network PRIDE (Drivers of Pontocaspian biodiversity Rise and Demise) we are seeking an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) in the field of marine palynology. The PRIDE program (www.pontocaspian.eu) combines climate-, geo- and bio-sciences and is conducted by 15 ESRs. From 2015 to 2019 we investigate the evolution and demise of lake systems and biota in the Black Sea, Caspian Sea and surrounding basins. Due to the leave of one of the ESRs we are seeking a new ESR for the period of maximum 25 months.
You will be working on the project: Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions and lake basin dynamics: a dinoflagellate approach.
You will be hosted at the University of Utrecht in Utrecht, The Netherlands, for a period of maximum 25 months. Your job will be to perform the research project and to participate in an extensive training programme that includes five network training events (NTE’s), paid for by the program. During your project you will also be performing one or two secondment(s), a period where you will work in one of the cooperating institutes.
You will be employed as a junior researcher and will have a contract period of maximum 25 months. You will reconstruct palaeoenvironmental conditions in Quaternary Pontocaspian lakes from biological proxies in order to assess basin connectivity and dynamics in the Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Anatolian lakes in the past ~3 Ma. Dinoflagellates are part of the phytoplankton and produce cysts that are well preserved in the Pontocaspian fossil record. The dinocysts will be used to assess changes in palaeoenvironmental conditions during the Plio-Pleistocene and Holocene in the Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Anatolian lakes. Main aim is to improve the understanding of the biogeographical connections and catchment dynamics of the basins. Possible drivers of turnover (isolation and/or rapid environmental change) will be explored further in conjunction with data obtained from the other projects in PRIDE. The project will result in a proxy-based palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and identification of periods of connection and isolation of main Pontocaspian lake basins. This project will include a secondment at Bristol University (UK) for integration with geochemical proxies and potentially a secondment at Bucharest University for joint work on Anatolian lake material or at Senckenberg Research Institute in Frankfurt, Germany to work on a Georgian section.
The PRIDE program will offer you a very unique opportunity to deeply engage into a multidisciplinary network where climate, geo- and biosciences will come together and that involves excellent institutes in the EU as well as in the Pontocaspian Region (Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkey). The terms of employment are generous but will vary slightly per country and institute and your family situation.

You will be working on the project B2: palaeoenvironmental drivers of ostracod biodiversity change. You will be hosted at the University of Bucharest in Bucharest, Romania, for a period of 29 months. Your job will be to perform the research project and to participate in an extensive training programme that includes six network training events (NTE’s), paid for by the program. During your project you will also be performing one or two secondment(s), a period where you will work in one of the cooperating institutes. You will enrol in the post-graduate programs of the respective or associated universities.
You will be employed as a Geologist and will be enrolled as PhD student and will have a contract period of 29 months. You will assess palaeoenvironmental drivers of ostracod biodiversity change in Pontocaspian Basins (Black Sea, Caspian Sea) in the past 3 Ma. Ostracods are very sensitive to environmental (e.g. salinity) change. Major salinity changes occurred in successive lake phases during the Quaternary and faunal exchange occurred in episodic connections between basins. This project will focus on environmental drivers of ostracod turnover at the onset of the modern Pontocaspian system, the last glacial cycle and the Holocene of the Caspian‐Black Sea basins. For each period the composition and diversity of faunas will be assessed from a number of sections and boreholes and compared to the sedimentary record and to mollusk fauna changes in the same sections in order to identify drivers of turnover, including anthropogenic drivers. Also, ostracod successions in satellite basins in Anatolia and the Balkans will be studied to elucidate the role of these regions as source/sinks of Pontocaspian biota. Obtained time series will be used to explore the environmental context and drivers of faunal change. This project will include a secondment at Utrecht University (NL) for biostratigraphic application of the ostracod data.
The PRIDE program will offer you a very unique opportunity to deeply engage into a multidisciplinary network where climate, geo- and biosciences will come together and that involves excellent institutes in the EU as well as in the Pontocaspian Region (Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkey).

Network Training Event 4, Azerbaijan, Baku. April 25 - May 1, 2016.
Beginning on April 25 and lasting until May 1, 2016 the PRIDE follow-up meeting took place in Baku for the Network Training Event (NTE) 4. During NTE 4, Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), together with local students from Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry learned about Advanced Geological Field techniques in the Caspian Region. The theme of the week was “Pontocaspian Rise in the Caspian Sea”. With the guidance provided by the PRIDE supervisors and the assistance of partners from Azerbaijan National Academy of Science, ESRs gained understanding on how, when and why the Pontocaspian speceis entered the Caspian Sea and how the fauna evolved through time. ESRs and students from the local institutions did the hands-on geological exercises by which they created their own geological maps and defined the geological boundaries. Later, the geological observations were converted to paleoenvironmental models. Particular attention was also paid to setting up a successful field sampling campaign practices, and doing the field observations relevant to the collaborative research questions, and taking and recording measurements in the field.
One of the days of the training event was devoted to a conference at the Geological Institute of Azerbaijan. During the conference several ESRs, PRIDE supervisors and partners from the Geological Institute presented about their research in the region. Besides the geological program, the NTE 4 involved several cultural stops for introducing ESRs to the ancient history of Azerbaijan.

These are the perfect margaritas for summertime. Whip up a batch of watermelon juice for impromptu happy hours all week!
I made them for a friend’s shower recently and everyone raved. I knew I had to share the recipe on the blog, no matter how simple it was.
If you give this recipe a try, let us know! Leave a comment, rate it, and don’t forget to tag a photo #minimalistbaker on Instagram! We’d love to see what you come up with. Cheers, friends!
The best Watermelon Margaritas with just 3 ingredients! Naturally sweet from the watermelon, tangy from the lime, and spiked with silver tequila!
Pack a large blender full of cubed ripe watermelon (with or without seeds) and blend until you have a juice. One small watermelon should yield roughly 3-5 cups (720-1200 ml), so you will have leftover juice (as original recipe is written) for extra margaritas. You can choose to strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds or pulp, but I didn't find it necessary.
Line the rim of two serving glasses (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) with lime juice and sea salt (optional). Add ice and pour over margaritas.
Best when fresh! Leftover watermelon juice will keep covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

This was bland and tasted more like lime than watermelon. I measured the ingredients and I actually put in less lime than what was called for. I couldn’t drink it.
My husband and I bought a watermelon that turned out to have way more melon than expected. This was the perfect way to make use of it! This recipe is simple, so easy to make, and delicious! I made it as is and wouldn’t change a thing.
So… really suddenly craved a watermelon margarita and found this recipe. When my bf and I stopped at the grocery store today on our way up to the lake cabin they had little watermelon halves so I got one, knowing exactly what to do with it. We have alot of booze on hand, but still whenever I seen to crave something specific, every recipe I’ll look up requires something we do NOT have. This was very simple. Only problem, no blender here. I muddled the cubes by hand which took a while and did not plan to strain it. Had not considered though that the shaker would do it for me! Cool. They’re good, but kinda bland… maybe cause I literally only had watermelon juice to work with?
Made it & love it! Refreshing, light, and so easy to make?
This is absolutely delicious. I made one and grabbed a little fresh mint from the garden through it all in a blender and mix it together. Super awesome!
This was so simple and delicious. Since I’m on vacation with too much watermelon, I’ll be making these again tomorrow. But I’m going to try adding some mint just for kicks. Thanks for another great recipe.
I made this recipe today, so light and refreshing, I added some margarita mix so its not pure alcohol and ice and tequila, and I did gold tequila (Luna zul) although silver would do well too. Fantastic recipe! I will share with my girlfriends! Great for leftover watermelon that is still tasty!
Hi Lizzy! We’ll be sure to add that to our recipe request list!
I was wondering if you could use gold tequila instead of silver? That’s all I have on hand and plan on making them tonight.
This is a great drink recipe! So easy and very tasty. Served with a salt rim and added a splash of triple sec. This will definitely be going into my summer cocktail rotation!
Made these on a whim with my friend this past week and we couldn’t believe how delicious they were with so few ingredients! A shame that it’s fall now, because we want to make these all the time.
I will certainly enjoy making one because of its simplicity and the ingredients are way accessible!
This is so simple, I love it. Looking forward to trying a different (and probably healthier) twist on a traditional margarita.
going to the beach in a few weeks and this recipe is going with me!
Love how easy these margaritas are! So pretty too!
I made this last night . I have one margarita most nights but today we bought a good size watermelon from a local farm soo…3 ingredients as written and it was wonderful. Nothing else needed and my measurements were not exact. Now I’m glad to have that extra watermelon. Thank You!
Yep, that sounds fantastic!! Sign me up.
Wow! This looks so yummy, I will try it out.
You can freeze any leftover watermelon juice into ice cubes. They make great ice cubes for gin & tonics, or you can throw them back into the blender for a frozen margarita!
YUM! I’m having friends over visiting for the week and was after some juicy drink recipes for spending the summer evenings on the deck. This is fabulous!
SO making these this weekend!! Thanks, Dana!!
Weekends and continued summer…..as much as I like fall recipes too, just not ready for pumpkin spice. Want to still enjoy summer and all that watermelon scrumptiousness just a tad longer!!! Just not ready for that 4 feet of snow we get where I live. | 2019-04-21T11:24:18 | https://minimalistbaker.com/best-watermelon-margaritas-3-ingredients/ |
Designing this blouse, I had two sources of inspiration: Scandinavian interior design and the excellent series House of Cards.
I'm subscribed to the blog My Scandinavian Home, and every day I get a post presenting a new home designed both with simplicity and sophistication. The space is usually very bright, integrating simple black items, mostly made of wood and other natural materials. The design is modern and minimalistic.
The cold, restrained political drama House of Cards was also part of my inspiration. The opening scene shows the streets of Washington DC, with their bare trees; and Claire Underwood's sharp, clean, sophisticated look is unforgettably fierce. The monochromatic clothes she wears elegantly embrace her like a second skin.
I designed a white blouse with a print of a bare tree. This was my first experience with screen printing, and hopefully there will be more to come.
The blouse is made of high-quality percale cotton, it has a Chinese collar and black hollow snap buttons.
The blouse is also available in: smoked blue and light lilac. | 2019-04-26T00:29:14 | http://schillersblog-eng.blogspot.com/2014/05/white-blouse-with-tree.html |
This incredible ring cushion was handmade by Linda’s mother for Linda’s wedding to Jim at Cain Manor.
This is Linda who looked absolutely stunning.
Jim & Linda decided to meet before the ceremony and walk down the aisle together. This is the moment when they first see each other. In the US it is called ‘The Reveal’.
Whereas this moment is called the first kiss because, well, it’s the first kiss.
It’s a real help to have a good toastmaster at the venue and Cain Manor’s toastmaster, called John, is excellent. He helped us to arrange this perfectly formed group shot of everybody.
At the back of the venue is this field which is great for a bit of the wild look.
We had a tremendous day with Jim & Linda who made it all very easy. | 2019-04-22T08:18:45 | http://www.captureit.co.uk/jim-linda/ |

The AlphaLISA® immunoassay kit for human mesothelin enables the quantitative determination of human mesothelin (CAK1, ERC) in serum, buffered solution, cell culture media, and cell lysates using a homogeneous AlphaLISA assay (no wash steps).
Mesothelin (also known as CAK1 or ERC) is cleaved from Megakaryocyte Potentiating Factor. Mesothelin is attached to the cell surface on mesothelial cells in pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum. Cancers, specifically mesotheliomas have upregulated levels of Mesothelin which promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, and progression. Mesothelin in healthy cells is involves in cellular adhesion, but it can also be found secreted in biological fluids such as serum. | 2019-04-24T21:50:37 | http://www.perkinelmer.com/product/alphalisa-mesothelin-human-kit-5000pt-al3063f |

RACIST supporters at Colchester United have been blasted by Burnley boss Stan Ternent who claims they almost forced Ian Wright to quit the game after just two matches in the Second Division.
In his autobiography Stan The Man, Ternent describes Layer Road as an "Essex fleapit" and accuses U's fans of hurling "the foulest racist abuse I'd ever heard at a football match".
Ternent was furious after former England striker Ian Wright MBE was subjected to the tirade of abuse during a Second Division game in February 2000.
Colchester United made a full and unreserved apology after the incident and have worked tirelessly to eradicate the racist problem at their ground.
Marie Partner, the U's chief executive, last night said: "At the time, the club dealt with the incident in the appropriate manner and made a full apology to Ian Wright. With that in mind, we feel it is a shame that Mr Ternent – who has a reputation for being an extremely professional manager – has to stoop to that level to sell books and we will not be drawn into making similar comments."
It was only Wright's second game for Burnley where he joined after suffering abuse in Scotland while playing for Celtic.
He wrote: "Whether running out for Arsenal at Wembley or for us in an Essex fleapit, with his jokes and gold-toothed smile, he gave the impression it didn't matter a damn."
He went on to describe the appalling abuse Wright suffered at Layer Road.
"Throughout each of the previous 90 minutes the Colchester crowd hurled at Wrighty the foulest racist abuse I'd ever heard at a football match.
"My face was red with shame as I stood on the touchline, powerless to stop the narrow-minded scum chanting sick songs at one of England's greatest players.
"The pride I'd felt for Ian as he ran out on to the pitch in Burnley colours rapidly became embarrassment.
"I'd persuaded him to play in a league where I believed he would be afforded dignity and respect."
He said that all the small section of racist supporters had to offer was "jealousy, bile and bitter insults based on his skin colour."
They "had had the chance to watch one of the most talented players our country has ever produced yet they chose to barrack him instead", he said.
Ternent goes on to explain how Wright called him to say he wanted to quit because of the abuse but was eventually persuaded not to by Ternent and others but only played 17 times for Burnley before packing the game in to work in the media.
It is not the first time Colchester supporters have been labelled racist, among those left unhappy at a visit to Layer Road were Luton Town supporters who complained players and fans had been targeted.
Ms Partner added: "Colchester United has one of the best records for crowd behaviour, indeed last season saw the U's have one of the lowest policing bills in the Nationwide League. Further to that, our record of just six arrests was again amongst the lowest, with none of those being for racist abuse.
"We are proud of that fact and are keen backers of the Kick Racism Out of Football scheme. In fact, our Community Sports Trust provided sporting and educational projects for thousands of local children, which cut across social, educational and racial boundaries." | 2019-04-21T16:46:32 | https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/racist-u-s-supporters-slated-in-book-1-58414 |
This is Decembers End 08 Great challenge at Happty to be @ Home.
While I didn’t post about this earlier, I am doing a pretty good job at this one. I created a Christmas list and then pared it down quite well when Anthony lost his job a week ago.
I have some things that I’ve collected over the past year for gifts. We are also suggesting to some family that instead of gifts, we give money to a worthy cause (local or international) in someone’s honor. See my post on the Advent Conspiracy.
As for Fabulous – well, I finish school tomorrow so the season can’t help but be fabulous. We have singing, bells, parties, the Christmas Pageant last night – it’s a season set up to be wonderful.
To see the ladder tree and our other decorations, check back here on December 15. We’ll be participating in the Christmas Tour of Homes for 2008.
This week we had a party on Monday for the deacons of our church and their families. We had good food and a lot of fun. Then while we deacons were meeting, a few friends cleaned up my kitchen and even put my trash out. It was awesome to come downstairs and see it all done! Thanks Krista, Kathy, and Amy.
Last night was the Christmas pageant at church. I had a major role this year for some reason. I was glad I could read from the script, but the kids did a great job with all their songs and their lines (with no scripts to cheat from!). Connor had a part and did it well. Anthony ran the sound board with the CD, 6 mics, and following along in the script. We agreed it would have been much easier with two people so we’ll plan better next year.
Sunday bell quartet plays. Monday I have lunch with my friend Audrey. Tuesday I spend the entire day with my friend Charlotte. Then next Sunday full handbell choir plays. Then trio (quartet minus 1) plays again on Christmas Eve, along with my solo of ‘O Holy Night’. Christmas Day we are doing rolls and Snowball cookies at my aunt’s house (my mom and two aunt’s are providing all the really good food). All fun stuff and nothing requiring that I get crazy about anything. Probably the craziest I have gotten was getting the house clean and food/plates purchased for the party on Monday and even that was mostly fun with Connor and Anthony around to help some.
All of that to say this Christmas (and the entire month) has been pretty frugal and is shaping up to be very Fabulous! | 2019-04-20T22:42:53 | http://theimperfectblog.com/2008/12/11/end-08-great-frugal-fabulous-christmas/ |
You can see the temptation can’t you? An ironic prose poem for Walkers Crinkles with long-time Walkers front man Gary Lineker rolling around on the beach while new guest artiste Elle Macpherson finally realises that he’s more interested in Crinkles than her.
Well it probably seemed a good idea at the time and I bet the client applauded when he was shown the commercial by agency Abbott Mead Vickers/BBDO.
But this version anyway is too long, too indulgent and ex-footballer Gary Winston Lineker, born 1960, is too old. And, to be rather cruel about it, the Walkers Crinkles market probably won’t know who Elle Macpherson is.
Abbott Mead fell into this trap back in the 1980s when its much-praised and long-running Sainsbury’s campaign featuring various celebrities disappeared up its own rear end when the celebs became the point, not the product.
Nice old classic tune though.
For those of you of a historical disposition, this is the original from 1797, adapted in the 1960s by Carole Bayer Sager and Toni Wine.
But who IS the vocalist on this Walkers Crinkles ad?? | 2019-04-20T04:15:04 | https://www.moreaboutadvertising.com/2011/04/new-walkers-crinkles-ad-is-a-bridge-too-far-for-gary-lineker-and-elle-macpherson/ |

If all had gone to plan at the weekend, this post wouldn’t be here. Instead I’d have written about a visit to Chastleton House over at Mists of TIme (I’ve only been waiting about fifteen years to go to Chastleton, it had better be worth it when I finally get there!).
But on Sunday morning, after a week of rain and grey skies, the sun came out as we were driving westward and we made the executive decision to ditch Chastleton and head for Hidcote instead.
Which was such a good move, because it turned out to be the most perfect English summer’s day, and really, what better way to spend it than languidly wandering around one of the most beautiful and iconic gardens in the country (rather ironically the creation of an American).
I took about a zillion photos while we were there, but in honour of the famous lavender ‘Hidcote Blue’ (which I didn’t photograph at all…), here are just a few alternative blues spotted as we meandered through the seemingly endless secret gardens.
For me, the experience felt like walking through an Impressionist painting. The dazzling variety of textures and jewel-like points of colour seep into your soul and I’m certain it’s not only gardeners who feel inspired by its treasures.
Hidcote Manor is tucked away in the countryside close to Chipping Camden and managed by the National Trust. It’s always beautiful, but just occasionally, when the Fates decide, it’s magical.
Such beautiful photos and such sparkling colours. I can see the Impressionist connection. Glad you mentioned Hidcote Manor, as we will be down in that part of the world in the summer. Will now add the Manor to our list of places to visit.
Oh you must go! It really is incredibly beautiful, you’ll love it I’m sure.
Wow, what a beautiful pictures! And it’s always so beautiful after a rain!
Thank you. Yes you’re right, I think the rain had definitely given everything a boost.
What a beautiful collection of blue! Are those chives? They look like little stars.
Yes they are chives, there’s a whole border of chives in the kitchen garden and they look magnificent. I love chives, they’re practically indestructible and look exquisite.
How beautiful, I’ve had Hidcote on my list of places to visit for ages – must try and find time to go!
It’s really lovely – a series of garden rooms, like having lots and lots of secret gardens to discover – but the weather can make it even better!
I have only ever seen photos of Hidcote it is one of those things that is on my Must Do list. Sadly our little garden in Yorkshire is only big enough for the one room – a bed sit! but it must be wonderful to design for many secret rooms.
I know what you mean, our garden is like a teenagers bedroom!
Wow, what a glorious festival of blue! I just love your photos. I can easily imagine how you were inspired by them!
Oh Jo, sorry to be so late replying, it’s just short of chaos here at the moment – you’d have loved that day, so beautiful and there were actually lots more different coloured flowers too – the most gorgeous water-lilies I’ve seen and lots more I can’t name. It must have inspired me because I’ve just stocked up on a whole load of bluey shade silks and wools!
Thank you – I do think there’s something magical about Hidcote, even now a few weeks after my visit I can still conjure up the excitement from absorbing all those colours and textures, I think it manages to seep inside.
I love the perspective you have on the house and garden in the top picture.
That’s very kind, thank you. It’s such a ‘hidden’ house, I like the way it occasionally pops into view. | 2019-04-18T11:17:17 | https://dreaming-in-stitches.com/2014/06/05/hidcote-blues/ |

It can be difficult. I've lived with these characters for years now. They've gone from initial scribbles in a notebook to feeling like real people to me. I've laughed with them, cried over them, loved them, wanted to murder them. Have murdered some of them... but now, it's time to open a new notebook, fill up a fountain pen and start living with some new people.
Many years ago, I wrote a short story that was selected for the book "Almost An Island (An Anthology of Fife Writers)". The story was called "The Writer" and in it, the characters from a writer's book emerged from the ether in her head and into reality. They were physically real and started to badger her about the plot of the book. They didn't like what she was doing and wanted her to change it all. The book reflected how I feel about my characters. They become so real to me that they do talk to me. They do want to change the plot (sometimes for the better, but not always!) and I do feel bereft when their story is finished and it's time to focus on someone else.
My head is a crowded place a lot of the time, full of characters nagging at me. I write to get them out of my head and onto the paper because (mostly) they shut up then. Although, that then just leaves a space for someone new to fill.
Ah. Yes. Who is shouting the loudest at the moment? Summer and LB from their next book? Finn and Reagan from The Trilogy? Or James and Anna from another thriller?
You know... they're all being pretty loud and obnoxious right now, yelling, "My turn! My turn! Me! Pick me!" | 2019-04-25T17:55:56 | https://www.amandafleet.co.uk/2017/01/goodbyes-are-always-difficult.html |
Media, in all its formats, seems to drive the world. Instant communication via news, texts, weather, music, entertainment, business hours, deliveries, pharmaceuticals, directions and advice seem to give everyone exactly what they need, precisely when they need it. Technology has made this driving force readily accessible to us at any given moment of the day or night. At the touch of a finger, we can tap into the power of the world.
Could this mean that an entire generation of kids is being raised in an environment where authentic connection is not readily recognized? What are the detrimental, emotional effects to having our cell phones on us or near us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Have we calculated the trade-off?
The first message parents unintentionally send to their kids when they are constantly on their phones, is, that whatever is on that phone is more important than them. Cell phones are not just telephones anymore. They are the internet. They are cameras. They are hand-held games. They are stimulation outside of connection with our kids. The truth is, when we are attached to our phones, we are detached from our kids. And when kids and parents are detached from each other, they form unhealthy habits of replacing authentic connection. That may fall further into the addiction of screen time, or into unhealthy relationships with others, or even substance abuse.
The second issue with screen addiction for children and adults is that it causes behavioral problems. Irritability, attention deficit, mood swings, aggression both passive and confrontational, depression, anxiety, as well as instant gratification that is often false and shallow. It is easier to tune out of the world than to tune in to our problems or responsibilities. The artificial sense of accomplishment given to the pleasure centers of our brains when we are plugged in robs us of time. It drains our ability to take action in the real world or engage with others. It keeps us constantly distracted. Lack of eye contact alone with our kids is stealing company and connection. When we need multiple stimuli repetitively streaming at us, we fail to demonstrate virtues to our children that they need, such as patience, imagination, respect, diligence and hospitality.
Cell phone addiction can be difficult to overcome. However, there are plenty of easy steps parents can take to unplug from their phones, and plug-in to their kids. The first one is, set limits. Put the phone down. Every time you pick it up, you are compromising authentic connection with your kids. They know it. The phone gets the attention they crave. So how do you go about setting limits? Where you start will depend on how bad your phone addiction is. Some parents may only be able to set a time limit on how long they don’t have their phones on. For instance, two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening, turn your phone completely off and set it down. Never be on your phone during meals. Don’t check it first thing in the morning before you get out of bed. Eventually, you can build up to it not being the monopoly of your day. For instance, only phone checking for 15 minutes in the morning, and 20 minutes at night. When you feel the draw to go pick up your phone, stretch your arms and take a deep breath instead. Remind yourself that you don’t want to be owned by your phone. It doesn’t control you.
Pick technology-free days, even if it’s just once a week, such as Tech-Free Tuesdays, or No Screens on Sunday. Instilling these healthy habits will keep parents and kids focused on what is in front of them. It is not easy to retrain ourselves when we are accustomed to the distraction. The brain will wander when we try to keep still. This is not just a problem that has come along with the age of technology. Blaise Pascal, a 17th century philosopher said, “All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.” Cell phones keep us distracted and help us procrastinate. They make us feel connected to something, while disconnecting us with everything around us. But like any addiction, the difficulty of breaking free gets easier with time. Until the day arrives when you not only need it less, but you realize how much it controlled your time, attention and mood.
Parents need to reboot, recharge, and not be wired in to the constant “on” of technology. Turning off phones and not picking them back up will make healthier lives for the entire family. Start small if you have to, but start somewhere. And keep scaling back until the cell phone becomes a tool you forget you have, rather than a tool that rules the way you live. | 2019-04-25T07:44:46 | https://www.justmommies.com/tweens-and-teens/parenting-tweens-and-teens/why-cell-phones-are-bad-for-parenting-and-tips-to-break- |
Stone copings photographed on 9 February 2016 during my evening walk from my hotel near Tower Hill.
They were originally part of New London Bridge which replaced the old London Bridge in 1831.
Old London Bridge was narrow and decrepit which is not really surprising when you consider it was over 600 years old. New London Bridge was built 30m West of the original bridge and after a design competition in 1799 work began in 1824 and the bridge was opened on 1 August 1831 by Kind William IV and Queen Adelaide. Old London Bridge was subsequently demolished.
The bridge was 283m long and 15m wide and was constructed from Haytor Granite from Dartmoor. The East side of the bridge was in the 20th Century noted as starting to sink and in 1967 the bridge was sold for $2.46m to America Entrepreneur Robert P McCulloch and removed stone by stone and re-erected in Lake Havasu in the USA. These two copings were unearthed on the South side of the bridge during construction work for a sculpture. They are now used as low seats. | 2019-04-25T00:40:44 | https://www.shipspottersteve.com/blog/new-london-bridge-copings-1831 |

Good morning. Company executives concerned about escalating tensions between the U.S. and China might breathe a sigh of relief, report the WSJ’s Lingling Wei and Bob Davis. The two governments have quietly started to negotiate better U.S. access to Chinese markets, potentially avoiding a trade war.
The talks come after the Trump administration last week set out specific requests that include lower Chinese tariffs on U.S. cars, higher orders for U.S. semiconductors from China and greater access to China’s financial sector for American firms.
President Trump on Thursday threatened to impose tariffs on as much as $60 billion of Chinese imports, while China on Friday rolled out penalties against $3 billion in U.S. goods as Washington’s levies on imported steel and aluminum took effect.
Business leaders over the weekend warned about additional punitive trade measures. Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook urged the U.S. to embrace open trade, while Larry Fink, chief executive of investment firm BlackRock Inc., said the U.S. and China should not fight a trade war.
Meanwhile, governments across the globe scrambled to lessen the impact of the steel and aluminum tariffs on their industries. The WSJ’s William Mauldin and Rhiannon Hole explain how some countries managed to get temporary exemptions.
Fed’s Dudley speaks in Washington.

Statoil to shed finance jobs. Norwegian oil giant Statoil ASA will slash the number of workers in its finance department as part of a wider push to automate tasks, according to the company’s finance chief.
Statoil last year launched its first robot, named “Roberta,” to automate tasks in the treasury department, such as sending payment reminders. Since then, around 10 different robots have joined her in the finance department, including one called Rob, said Chief Financial Officer Hans Jakob Hegge. The robots reconcile accounts, collect data and document payments made by the company to its suppliers, among other tasks.
The company had 897 finance employees at the end of 2017, down from 1400 at the end of 2013, Mr. Hegge said.

Those tiers will have two advance chapters of one novel for $1.50 a month. I’ll announce it when it’s ready.

When we stepped into the large plaza in front of the staircase, I felt magic power gathering from out of nowhere.
The magic power, that began to gather at the center of the plaza, produced a creature with a single mass.
What was born after the magic power had gathered was a minotaur-like monster with pitch-black skin.
The minotaur is a monster with an ox head, muscular body and ox hooves as feet.
Its overall-length exceeds 4 meters and some also have an axe or a greatsword.
However, the skin of minotaurs are covered in fur and originally should appear brown.
The outward appearance of the monster before our eyes is pitch black while having the appearance of a minotaur.
And the suspiciously shining red eyes is what distinguishes it.
The minotaur let an enormous axe manifest in one of his hands and swung it downwards like that.
Although we avoided it easily, a large part of the ground where the axe had hit broke.
At this point in time, I understood the difference in strength between Isvel and the minotaur.
――Now that she mentioned it, my sword was broken.
While that may be true, it is not like I can’t fight, but it’s quicker to be quiet here and leave it to Isvel.
When Isvel put up her hands, a statue of ice of a size much larger than even the minotaur materialized behind her.
The ice statue only had an upper body and fists grew from both sides of what looks like shoulders.
Responding to Isvel who pointed towards the minotaur, the golem swung his fist.
The minotaur, who rushed while raising a war cry, recklessly plunged into it as is.
I don’t think it has any reasoning.
He doesn’t seem to be interested in anything but merely killing us.
The conclusion was nothing short of a disappointment.
The fist that the golem pushed out caught the minotaur’s whole body.
It broke the axe it held aloft and blew it away by crushing its flesh and breaking its bones.
The minotaur-turned-meat was thrown into the wall, which changed its unsightly figure even more.
The golem Isvel produced dispersed.
Like always she uses outrageous ice black magics.
Ice black magic is not included in the five elemental attributes of fire, water, earth, wind and lightning, and they’re black magics which is made difficult to learn due to its eternally scarce users.
Rather than that, those who could use ice black magics have presently been only successive demon lords.
And among those successive demon lords, Isvel exceeds them all if we were to speak only of the force of their black magics.
I had also been tormented by this ice statue.
Isvel said and puffed out her chest.
Only her saying it seems unrefined.
I feel presence of magic power covering over Isvel’s surroundings.
The current Isvel should be proof against surprise attacks.
Even if they try approaching from however many blind spots, she will sense their presence and it’ll be over for them.
So we descended to the lower floor.
Towards the seventy first floor where nobody has explored as of yet.
Isvel muttered seemingly bored while freezing an attacking spider monster with one hand.
Around two more hours has passed since then, we are currently on the eighty fifth floor.
The monsters has become considerably stronger, but they haven’t reached the stage of being a threat to us yet.
Instead, due to the reactionless monsters, Isvel’s face ended up turning towards displeasure.
I have used up the fuel to live passionately long time ago.
Now it’s already burnt to cinders.
We have descended fifteen floors, so we have discovered treasure chests accordingly.
However, due to each and every contents being full of weapons and armor unnecessary for us, we hardly collected any and left the treasure chest as is.
We’re collecting magic stones and the like that was inside of it from time to time, but if we leave the contents of the treasure chest behind, then it will erase the traces of people having come there after all.
Subjugating the monsters guarding the floors can’t be helped, but there are many mysteries in the dungeon in the first place.
If the guard is gone from the seventieth floor, then they would think of that as a specification of the dungeon itself――probably.
Isvel kicked open the newly discovered treasure chest.
What was inside was a large magic stone and a sword put in a scabbard.
I’ve been thinking about this the whole time, but being put in a scabbard is too thorough.
It’s just that there are times where it doesn’t have any, I don’t quite understand where their norm is for that.
I take the sword out of the treasure chest and close the cover.
When I try to look at the sword, I can confirm there is a gem embedded on the grip.
This is proof that this sword is a magic sword with magic put into it.
I expect an improvement in sharpness and rise in durability level by magic power, but some of the swords possess additional effects like fire coming out after swinging it.
It looks like I can expect this sword to simply have sharpness enhancement and rise in durability level.
I fasten the sword together with the scabbard on my waist and fix it.
This one seems useful until I leave the dungeon.

Figure 3.3.1 provides the details of a wave. The still figure represents pure-activity using motion-occurrences rather than motion-quanta, as MQs turn into MOs while the wave is passing by.
The hierarchy established by our human minds, and kept as is in the science of physics, which is that motion occurs in space, is in gravimotion tipped-over, down side (motion) up (above both space and time).
A cycle of the wave, at present or what is represented on the screen, amounts to a motion condensing the MOs in a heap, followed by a depletion of same magnitude but in reverse in number of MOs.
The cycles once through leave no trace behind; their initiation (by a source) and transfer amount to local motion occurrences MOs and MQs thrust increases / decreases (accelerations decelerations).
A single cycle internal loss of equilibrium, when averaged over the whole cycle, is nevertheless neutral.
And because motion occurrences are the combination of faster MOs yet, the motion of a cycle of light has less thrust than the overall motion thrust out of which it is combined.
Only pure-activity occurs as pure motion-quanta.
One can imagine that motions faster than light (MOs faster than light MOs) may occur in Nature, MOs which would yet be slower than motion quanta MQs.
One can also imagine a wave translated through inclinations of motion-occurrences, which is the essence of gravity in gravimotion; the depression, compression stages are replaced with inclinations variations; for instance the front edge of the wave could have more inclinations in the direction of the wave than Maxwellian distribution has, while the trailing edge would have inclinations opposite that direction.
Figure 3.3.2 represents this situation in I and III Maxwellian motion is represented, in II the orientations only of the MO's and MQ's are modified; their concentration remains the same as in I and III.
A wave is transmission of a cyclic motion through local disturbance of pure-activity; while the activity during a cycle departs from the Maxwellian pure-activity, the MOs overall activity of 1 cycle nevertheless averages to pure-activity.
As such light and gravity waves over long displacements, which coincide to wider spread in volume, dissolve back in pure activity, without any loss of motion (no energy loss while disappearing). | 2019-04-24T18:57:40 | http://infinite-present.info/3-3-wave-translation.php |

Do student perceptions of instructor partisanship (internal factors) or chocolate treats (external factors) matter more to student scores of instructor effectiveness? Within the broader literature concerned with whether course evaluations are unbiased measures of instructor effectiveness, some have suggested that the provision of a chocolate treat immediately prior to distribution and completion of student course evaluations positively affects student scores of instructor effectiveness. Others have noted the negative effect of instructor partisanship on student scores of instructor effectiveness. Missing is a comparative analysis of whether external or internal factors weigh more heavily on student scores of instructor effectiveness. This study fills that lacuna through combining experimental and survey methods to simultaneously scrutinize the effect of internal and external factors on student evaluations of instructor effectiveness. Our findings indicate that perceptions of instructor partisanship significantly affect these evaluation score. We find that chocolate, on the other hand, has only a very slight positive effect on student perceptions of instructor effectiveness. This effect is not statistically significant. The upshot is one may consider pausing before sharing chocolate or partisan views in class. | 2019-04-19T21:38:25 | https://jotl.uco.edu/index.php/jotl/article/view/96 |

Mr David Alton – In rising to speak I am conscious of the fact that this is the closing moment of this Parliament. That brings to mind two matters. Earlier we heard the final contribution in this House of the right hon Member for Blackburn Mrs Castle while today sees my first contribution to this Parliament. I know there is a convention that hon Members congratulate new hon Members on maiden speeches. I believe that it is right that a new hon Member should congratulate the right hon Lady for the work that she has put into her movement in fighting for ordinary people.I am also deeply conscious that I enter a House that has been recently bathed in sorrow mourning the death of a man brutally murdered in an act of cowardice and terrorism. I am conscious coming from the great city of Liverpool that there has been a great deal of religious strife in our city over the years. There has been great sectarianism and the city has been divided on religious lines.
I am pleased to say that sectarianism in Liverpool has been conquered. In 1972 when I became a member of the city council there was still a Protestant party fighting under the label. That is no longer the case. Is the Liberal Party has achieved anything in the city of Liverpool it is the breaking down of barriers and bringing together people of all colours and creeds, classes and sexes. We have broken away from the bigotry and prejudice that once existed.
I am sure that our philosophy of including people is required in Northern Ireland today. The bullet can never replace the ballot in a free society.
Hon Members will recall my predecessor Sir Arthur Irvine who had serve the Edge Hill Constituency since 1947, having been elected at a by election. He was always most courteous to me. Many constituents have spoken of the warmth he showed them. Like the right hon member for Huyton Sir H Wilson he started in the Liberal Party and although he later replaced the big L for a small l he never forgot the fundamental principles of Liberalism.
Over those 30 years my consistency has suffered the same basic problems as the rest of the country. One of those problems has been accentuated. A year ago I came to the House of Commons with a delegation of local council representatives to meet the Prime Minister. We warned then that the employment situation on Merseyside was becoming desperate. I am sad to report that since that meeting a further 8000 jobs have been lost in manufacturing industries and that, in the first quarter of this year alone a further 3000 jobs in the manufacturing industry have been axed. This means for people employed in companies such as Plessey and Dunlop the agony of the dole queue.
When the new Government are formed I hope that one of the first acts of the new Chancellor, the new Secretary of State for Employment and the new Secretary of State for the Environment will be to get together and begin a week of action. For one week alone, those ministers should drop everything else and make a concerted effort to tackle the problems of Merseyside conurbation. In order to create industrial growth on Merseyside, we must reclaim derelict land. There are 250 acres of derelict land in our South docks. Existing land within the city boundaries will have been exhausted by the end of this year. We desperately need an input from the Government to ensure that this land can be out to good use.
I also believe that the new Government must take measures to ensure that a fair system is installed into industry. Until we introduce a fair system we shall never create wealth. Unless we create wealth we shall never create more work.
I also come to this House as chairman of the city housing committee. It would be wrong for me to pass without making mention of the housing problems. In Liverpool many homes are without inside toilets and bathrooms. On large council estates there are tenants who have not got security of tenure and rights imposed to them at the outset of this Parliament.
Throughout the country as a whole there are still 250000 acres of derelict land within our cities – enough to build nine new major cities. It came as a body blow to us to read circular 50/70 which threatened the whole basis of our home ownership policies in the city of Liverpool. This was a retrograde step. I hope that the Secretary of State for the Environment will think again, withdraw this circular and give people the opportunity of a stake in their community, as we believe in a stake at work through industrial participation. It would be a stake in their own community through home ownership.
In the past few years this House has spent a great deal of time discussing devolution to Scotland and Wales. Perhaps the finest sort of home rule is rule over ones home. I have sad news for members of the Tory Party who might cheer me when I say I believe in home ownership. I do not refer only to people living in council houses. Home rule should also apply to people living in private accommodation owned by private landlords who have refused to give basic amnesties such as inside toilets and bathrooms.
The time must come when this House turns its attention to the finances of housing. It is the economics of the madhouse that it costs £150 000 over a 60 year borrowing period to build one three bedroomed council house. We must also increase improvement grants to ensure that people can get 80 per cent grants. It is crazy that men in the construction industry should be idle and unable to use their skills. It would be far better if they were able to improve homes and provide people with decent places in which to live rather than standing idle in the dole queues. Thos people should be out o good use. Incentives should be offered thorough 80 per cent improvement grants for all people in housing action areas and for all in full grant areas.
This House should also turn its attention to the problems of protecting our community. When people are frightened to walk on the streets in many major conurbations we need to look again at the way in which we run our system of law and order. We need to see more policemen back on the beat walking around their own local communities and small local police stations should be established. It was a retrograde step to close small police stations and leave communities without proper police protection.
Also on the subject of smallness, we should look again at our schools policy. I was concerned last Friday the day after the Edge Hill by election to read that the Secretary of State for Education and Science had decided that she would determine her proposals for the reorganisation of schools in Liverpool. I was amazed that the right hon Lady should have waited until the day after the by election to annoiunce3 her plans and that in the dying breaths of this Parliament she would decide on the future of many children in Edge Hill.
If local Labour Party proposals go through they will sound the death knell of many of our local small local non-selective schools. Arbitrarily children will be herded off to a school built as a result of Labour Party dogma for 2000 children but with only 400 in it at present. It would be an act of incredible folly to ignore the wished of parents who have chosen schools for their children.
We should also look at the way in which we use our resources. I plead with the House and with the Secretaries of States for the Environment and for Transport to reconsider their proposals for the extension of the urban link of the M62 motorway and the construction of the inner ring road. If the inner ring road goes ahead it will cost £40million in capital expenditure and £1 million a year in interest charges for the next 40 years. That is too much of a burden to expect local people in Merseyside to pay for a road which most Merseyside politicians agree is not needed.
If one cannot afford the blankets on the bed, one does not have the piano French polished. If priorities are about priorities surely it means putting first things first and dealing with basic amenities and services – not spending money on grandiose pie in the sky dreams which will become taxpayers nightmares.
Five days ago the people of Edge Hill decided to reject the old ways. They gave a massive thumbs down sign to both the other parties. I believe that that happened because people are frustrated and cynical about the way in which politicians have let them down. People of my generation are angry about the way in which the establishment parties have forgotten what service means and have forgotten about the way in which people should see and hear from their elected representatives.
Although it may sound arrogant for me to come here and say these things hon Members will appreciate that there will not be much time in the present Session for me to say much more on this subject. I am confident that in the election to come not only will Liverpool lead the way as it has done so often but Liberals will lead the way under the leadership of my right hon Friend the Member for Roxburgh Selkirk and Peebles Mr Steel. I hope that I shall return to this Bench so that I may make more speeches in future. I also hope that there will be many more Liberals with me. | 2019-04-22T02:14:43 | https://davidalton.net/2010/12/23/maiden-speech/ |
Please explain the difference between a licensed preacher & an ordained preacher. Can a licensed preacher do weddings, funerals, baptisms, etc? The man I am referring to is an ordained deacon, but has only been licensed to preach.
The authority of licensing and ordination depends much on the group you are with. Licensing is entirely a human invention and Bible students have long argued over the exact meaning and purpose of ordination. To ordain is to give order to; to establish in a position with the authority to fulfill the requirements of that position. Paul and Barnabas went to the churches where they had established a community of believers and "ordained them elders in every church" (Acts 14:23And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
See All...). As you can see, they were ordained to a particular position.
However, we see this today in another light as well. Ordination is seen to approve a man for the work of the ministry in whatever capacity God places him. This is not an unscriptural idea. Paul told Timothy, "Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands" (2 Timothy 1:6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
See All...). Paul saw the ordination of Timothy (compare 1 Timothy 4:14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
See All...) as the giving of a gift that needed to be exercised. This gift may have been a supernatural gift exclusive to the time of the apostles. But no matter what the gift was, it points to ordination as the giving of authority and potential that can be stirred up for the work of the Lord. Ordination, therefore, is a very serious matter. It should not be done hastily. Paul warns Timothy, "Lay hands suddenly on no man" (1Timothy 5:22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
See All...). Ordination sets a man apart from the congregation as one who is especially called to be a man of God.
Because of the seriousness of ordination and the biblical warnings against moving too soon in this area, many Baptists established the practice of licensing preachers. A license is formal permission to do something. A preaching license is a permission to preach. I have read in some of the old Baptist church minutes of a license being very specific. I remember one case where a young preacher was given permission to preach in his home church and one other church. If he proved himself there, then he could be given a license to preach wherever God opened the door. The purpose of the license was to give someone time to prove that they were worthy of ordination. Some preachers never went further than getting a license. This is all some wanted. They wanted a chance to preach in different places but they did not care for the position of a pastor.
Preaching licenses have almost disappeared. Most young preachers do not want to be under the authority of a local church. On one hand, this may come from an elevated opinion of the authority of God. If God calls a man, who has the authority to tell him to wait until he gets a license? I know of several great preachers who refused to be ordained, much less licensed, because they felt that the only authority they needed was God. Yet, is it not possible that God works through the authority of the local church? And there is another hand. I am convinced that many would refuse licensing (and ordination) because of their elevated opinion of themselves. They are not about to let anyone else tell them what to do.
Yet, I have to think that the old way was better. Today, someone comes up front in a service and announces his call to preach. Everyone takes him at his word and he begins to look for chances to ply his trade, so to speak. But who declared him qualified? How does the church in another community know he has the spiritual qualifications? Does he have the gift of preaching or will it develop over a period of time? A license was given to earnest men who felt the call to preach and who at least had the spiritual qualifications to stand behind the pulpit and proclaim the word. If they proved themselves, they could one day be ordained to a larger ministry.
As to your particular question, a license is permission to do a particular thing--in this case, to preach. It is not permission to do the other work of a pastor. You mention weddings, funerals, and baptisms. The answer is slightly different for each of these. The State of Tennessee requires a man who performs a wedding ceremony to be ordained or the equivalent. You will need to check the laws of your state. However, generally, a license to preach does not qualify one to perform a marriage. A funeral is another thing. It is only a memorial service and any preacher (or even non-preacher) can hold a funeral service. As to baptisms, I believe the authority to baptize comes through the church. Therefore, anyone the church authorizes to baptize can do so. I hope this will be a help to you.

The legislation created a legitimate avenue for parents, teachers, and community members to take responsible risks and create new, innovative, and more flexible ways of educating children within the public school system. The goal of charter schools is to encourage academic excellence, educational improvement, and cultural diversity in South Carolina. After one year of planning and organizing, the SCPCSD had five charter schools open under its auspices in August 2008. In the 2009-10 school year, seven schools are operating in the district, with four more approved to open in 2010. Enrollment doubled from the first year of operation to the second: from 2,500 students to over 5,000. Enrollment is expected to double again in 2010, which would make the SCPCSD one of the largest districts in the state.
SCPCSD's mission is to improve student learning and increase learning opportunities in South Carolina through the creation of innovative, high-quality charter schools. Ultimately, we strive to assist South Carolina in achieving academic excellence. | 2019-04-18T12:23:33 | https://www.k12jobspot.com/District/755 |

Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld | Joe’s blog about technology, life, etc!
This is a funny new commercial with Bill Gates and Jerry, pretty funny stuff, and apparently there are more funny commercials to come.

A recent Gocompare.com survey highlighted the topic of “fronting.” This is where the parent of a young driver puts him/herself down as a named driver to reduce the insurance premium. Not only is this illegal, it also invalidates the policy. However, around 16% of respondents admitted having done it, with a further 38% stating that they would do so in the future.
This got the team at PetrolPrices.com thinking about what else people do to keep their insurance premiums down, including actions that are illegal and would thus invalidate the policy. One such action is to lie about your occupation, as nobody ever checks this information (though we’re not sure that doing so is illegal). Another is to avoid reporting minor accidents.
PetrolPrices.com conducted a survey of our own this week to investigate the scale of unreported accidents. The results were extremely revealing.
We asked members if they would inform their insurer about every accident, or knowingly withhold information about an accident if they knew that doing so would keep the cost of their premium from going up.
72% of respondents said they would inform their insurer about every accident that happens.
We then asked whether they knew it was illegal not to inform their insurer of every accident. An astonishing 28% of respondents claimed they were unaware of this.
Interestingly, 41% said that they would avoid telling their insurer about a minor bump or scrape if they knew it would make their premium go up.
Alarmingly, 18% went so far as to state that they would withhold information from their insurer if it meant a lower premium, even if they knew they legally had to report it.
The results suggest that many people are unaware of what they need to report to an insurer. This implies that there are literally thousands of unreported accidents occurring every year.
Although it may seem like a good idea to try and keep premiums low, not informing your insurer about a minor accident could damage your wallet more in the long run. If an insurance provider finds out you have withheld information from them, your future premiums (from them and any other insurer) will skyrocket.
Not only that, but failure to report an accident is a criminal offence. It carries a maximum fine of £5,000 and a possible five to ten points on your licence, depending on the circumstances. The courts can also disqualify a driver if the offence was in conjunction with failure to stop, or leaving the scene of an accident.
With such severe potential consequences, it is shocking that so many drivers are unaware of how and when they need to inform their insurer when it comes to minor accidents. It is crucial that you report any form of accident you have been involved in to your insurer. In addition, it’s important to understand the relevant terms and conditions of your insurance policy. Each insurer has different rules concerning timeframes and what constitutes an accident. If in doubt, it’s better to over-report than fail to report.
What do you think about these findings? Is it worth taking the risk to keep your premiums down? What do you think is the difference between a minor or a major accident? Let us know in the comments section below.
I don’t believe this article is correct. I was involved in a minor accident and went to the police station. I was told it was up to me if I wanted to report it and was given a 20 page questionnaire to do so and post in if I wanted to. They were not interested. I posted the paperwork to the other driver, whose fault it was, and said he could if he wanted.
The article is not about reporting to the police, its reporting to the insurer.
As the user of a communal car park where I live, and where parking bays are narrow, I find that non-registered users of the car park frequently cause minor bumps and scrapes to my car, and many other residents vehicles, and drive off without leaving details for us to claim for repairs. This has meant that all four corners of my Mercedes now need scuff repairs completing and other residents require side panel dents removing at our own cost. Society seems to be far less caring if others property than say even 25 years ago.
I agree with Andrew Sadler, this article is badly written, misleading and simply wrong. You do not have to report all accidents to the police.
Its not wrong, please read the article again.
Although we all hope it never happens, it’s incumbent on us all to report accidents.
Our solution. Cameras all round. Get evidence, and if the insurers won’t deal with it fairly, then sue them.
You state it is a criminal offencel not to report accidents. I’m not 100% sure of the current situation but as far as I know this is only true if you do not inform the 3rd party, I.e. The other driver. If you can both agree about who pays for the repairs and no one is injured you do not have to report it to the police.
Seems there is some misunderstanding here. You probably have to report even minor accidents to your insurer – NOT necessarily to the police, as the article points out.
Insurance companies share basic accident details (probably in some central register), so even if you switch to another insurer they can track accidents over the last 5 years when you apply for a policy.
This system is stupid,I asked one insurance company if for instance someone scratches my car in a supermarket car park & I don`t put in a claim so they don`t pay anything out as I repair any damage myself why must they be informed & the answer was we want to know all incidents,WHY if it costs them nothing should I tell them, this is just down to greed so the company can say you had an incident we are increasing your premium, A LOAD OF BULL***T.
I had a lorry hit the rear drivers side of my last car pulling away from a roundabout. No witnesses so it was dealt with on a 50/50 basis (despite being a rear collision). My premium went up £500 a year. The car that was an economic write off was worth less than £500 and the lorry driver was only 3rd party, was there any point in reporting it? Lesson learned!!
Seems to me that insurance companies want to screw you every which way they can. The biggest ripoff is when you get done for speeding, SP30, and they whack your insurance up , claiming you are are a higher risk, regardless of whether you have ever had an accident. | 2019-04-26T00:36:02 | https://www.petrolprices.com/news/drivers-not-reporting-accidents-insurance/ |

No human studies exist on the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) on an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) as a sole graft material for lateral ridge augmentation in large ridge defect sites. This series evaluates the treatment outcome of maxillary anterior lateral ridge augmentation with rhBMP-2/ACS. Twenty patients were treated with rhBMP-2/ACS and fixation screws for space maintenance. Cone beam volumetric tomography measurements were used to determine gain in ridge width, and a bone core biopsy was obtained. The mean horizontal ridge gain was 1.2 mm across sites, and every site gained width.

The House and Senate are entering their respective final runs before the November midterm elections, following a two-day break for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year — even though the possibility of Hurricane Florence entering the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area cut short an already shortened week. The pressing items of business are funding the government and the pending Senate confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. But several lower-profile issues remain as well.
The Senate convened briefly on Wednesday, Sept. 12, and confirmed the nomination of Charles Rettig to head the Internal Revenue Service. During the third week of September, the Senate is expected to turn to legislation aimed at combating the nation’s opioid epidemic. That bill, H.R. 6, is expected to clear the Senate with a prenegotiated amendment sponsored by Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee. But it is expected that this opioids legislation will still need some work in a conference with the House before it is ready for final enactment.
The Senate is also expected to take up and pass S.2554, the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act, which would prohibit the use of gag clauses in Affordable Care Act plans and employer-sponsored insurance. The reach of this prohibition in the bill might be extended by amendment while it is before the full Senate, to also cover self-insured group health plans.
Much of the near-term attention in Congress in the remaining weeks of this final work period will be focused on both the Kavanaugh nomination, currently proceeding through the Senate Judiciary Committee, and on negotiations in conference over multiple packages of appropriations bills — known as “minibuses” — to fund the government over the next fiscal year. The first minibus conference report (covering military construction, Veterans Affairs, energy and water, and legislative branch appropriations bills that fund the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Capitol complex), has emerged from conference and was passed by the Senate before it adjourned for the week. House action appears likely in the coming days.
Two other minibus packages (Interior, transportation, agriculture and financial services; and defense and labor, Health & Human Services and education, respectively), have proceeded into conferences to work out the differences between the House and Senate versions of each. The first of these two minibuses may prove more difficult to navigate through the bicameral conference, because members of the two bodies differ over a number of controversial riders.
Time is running short on these and other appropriations bills, such as the bill that funds the U.S.Department of Homeland Security, which has been slowed by controversy over President Donald Trump’s demand that the bill’s border security funding be augmented to reflect his plan to build a wall on the southern border. With the midterm election looming, whatever appropriations bills do not get done in the next few weeks will likely end up in a continuing resolution funding those portions of the government, likely to be passed sometime in early December.
Depending partly on the timing for resolution of these appropriations bills, Congress seems likely to attempt to finish work on three other bills: a bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration; a bill reauthorizing the Water Resources Development Act; and a new farm bill.
In particular, WRDA legislation appears most likely to move ahead. On Sept. 10, Senate Environment and Public Works Committee chairman John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and ranking member Tom Carper, D-Del., House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman Bill Shuster, R-Pa., and ranking member Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., and House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., and ranking member Frank Pallone, D-N.J., announced that they have come to an agreement on a compromise bill.
While not a conference report since the full Senate has not voted on its version, the WRDA compromise bill seems likely to start in the House, with floor action possible soon. Notably — given the tragedy relating to water quality in Flint, Michigan — the bill would include $4.4 billion for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency‘s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program, to improve state and locality drinking water infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the farm bill is being negotiated in a 56-person conference between the House and Senate, which formally kicked off on Sept. 5. Potential approval of the bill could give senators and House members from agriculture-heavy states and districts an important deliverable for voters in a number of key contested November races. But politically difficult issues lie ahead for the bill — such as controversial House provisions that would place restrictions on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps.
The Kavanaugh nomination is expected to clear the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party line vote very soon. The nomination should proceed to the full Senate in late September, or early October at the latest. A few senators from each party remain undecided or at least unannounced. Yet the nomination appears to be on secure footing, with Democrats unable to mount a filibuster of the nomination under the revised interpretation of the Senate’s cloture rule that requires only majority support for shutting off debate. After Kavanaugh is confirmed, it appears likely that the Senate will soon thereafter wind down its work until after the election.
For its part, the House is also reconvening later this week, and in addition to possibly considering the WRDA compromise, Republican leadership is planning to vote on several bills reported by the House Ways & Means Committee, and other lower profile legislation, under suspension of its rules. But much attention will be on the House Ways & Means Committee chairman Kevin Brady’s, R-Tex., intended committee markup of Tax Reform 2.0, which — among other items — would make permanent certain changes to the tax code in the 2017 tax reform law, affecting individual taxpayers.
The House Republican Conference is not united on an approach relating to this legislation, with a range of perspectives from leadership and vulnerable incumbents. So it is unclear when, or if, the bill might reach the House floor. Regardless of whether the bill passes the House, since it would be subject to a 60-vote threshold supermajority in the closely divided Senate, the legislation does not appear to have a path forward. | 2019-04-22T22:40:44 | https://www.globalpolicywatch.com/2018/09/congressional-forecast-september/ |

In this video we can watch a Palestinian entrepreneur and a peacebuilder talking about his past and the difficulties he has been through. His brother was beaten up and that caused his death. First he wanted to get revenge but then he changed his mind and he decided to study Hebrew and it was the first time that he met Jews that were not soldiers. Aziz Abu Sarah got on well with the Jews and ran a trip together to a Palestinian refugee camp to show them their traditions. This video was really touching and influential because it shows how to bring down the walls that separate people. | 2019-04-19T09:05:37 | https://markaki-literature.blogspot.com/2016/11/for-more-tolerance-we-need-more-tourism.html |

For HENZEL STUDIO, Nan Goldin re-appropriated a photograph of dried roses, applying variable pile heights to the petals.
The image is a photo I took from an old heart shaped wreath of roses long since dried in my bedroom in Paris. Given to me by a friend I love dearly. The flowers aren’t dead to me; just transformed.
Lives and works in Berlin, New York and Paris.
Nan Goldin has developed an iconic style of making photography that has influenced multiple facets of popular culture and the art establishment.
Rather than objectifying her subjects, Goldin goes beyond the conventions of photography as representations of reality, demonstrating a pure determination to capture the moment and to approach subjects with a kind of sensitivity largely absent from media. While living in New York City, Goldin began documenting the post-punk new wave music scene along with the city’s post-Stonewall gay subculture of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and shortly thereafter the effects of the AIDS epidemic. Throughout those years, Goldin developed a technique that enabled her to deal with increasingly heavy subject matter as a reporter and ethical being who accepts things as they are, rather than a judgmental commentator or moralist.
Goldin’s work remains a benchmark of the contemporary visual imagination, and even at its crudest or most marginal, succeeds in using common archetypes, collective memories, stories with which most of us can identify. | 2019-04-21T20:06:58 | https://tomoffinlandstore.com/collections/carpets/products/nan-goldin-henzel-studio-collaborations-art-rug |
