As a residential real estate agent, rather naturally I am a huge advocate of investing in residential real estate as a means of creating short term cash flow, and achieving long term investment goals. However; the road to riches as a landlord comes with great responsibility and numerous elements of risk, especially if the landlord and/or tenants aren’t familiar with their rights and obligations and a conflict occurs.
I find that most aspiring Landlords are not familiar with the responsibilities and obligations they will have if they enter the “business”, and the bulk of them will change their mind when they realize renting a property is not just a case of getting a set of keys cut, placing a Kijiji ad, and collecting cheques from the first party that expresses an interest.
a) A real estate agent who is familiar with the process of investment purchases – he/she can point you to areas of town that will suit budget, tell you what type of tenants you might attract in certain pockets of town, etc.
c) A real estate lawyer who can assist you in closing the transaction, structuring lease agreements, etc. If you are going to acquire more properties you might even discuss incorporating, a holdings company, etc.
d) Your local municipality to make sure you are not violating any zoning or property use bylaws by renting the property.
Rental properties are a very rewarding source of income when structured properly and treated as a business, each one of us contributing to this blog have our own areas of expertise and welcome any questions that you may have about the process of acquiring investment real estate. | 2019-04-22T06:37:24 | http://www.barrierealestatetalk.ca/2011/09/i-want-to-be-a-landlord/ |

C.S. Lewis began his academic career at Oxford University as an atheist. He was attracted to faith in Christ through the writings of many such as George MacDonald, G.K. Chesterton, George Herbert, John Donne, Phillip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, and John Milton. He noticed that these writers were Christian and that they wrote of the Roughness and Density of Life. Lewis was attracted to their honest portrayal of life as we seem to really live it day to day, with all of its complexities. Christian academics would do well to draw inspiration from Lewis’s observations at this point in order to write and lecture in a way that is unpretentious and authentic. | 2019-04-26T06:24:16 | http://foclonline.org/talk/cs-lewis-and-roughness-and-density-life |

I was able to show those who attended the seminar what worked, how to ask patients to recommend the practitioner and how to improve their businesses.
If you are a patient of a practitioner whom you think is good, do recommend him or her to your friends.

Machine translated chapter 491 of Human Emperor light novel.
Chapter 491 „It seems like, here was our final homes to return to......” „What home to return to? The damn Moncheux imperial edict person, we have helped their many in vain, but also helped them unify six imperial edicts, has not thought of these fellow unexpectedly graciousness Qiu Bao, not only attacked our cities, but also jointly ambushed us with the U-Tsang person. If not they shows the way, the U-Tsang person possibly on the view mark to our palm, so is how familiar?” „Now said that anything was late. We lost. However one day, the Moncheux imperial edict person must pay the price for today's betrayal!” „Do not speak this mourning angry words! The fate of soldier was dying in battle battleground, in any event, even if died, we must draw several pad backs!” „Good! Even if dies, cannot make them look down on our Great Tang soldier!” ...... On a low hill, the Great Tang soldiers of several infantry and cavalry mixes, clothes armor was shattered, the whole body is wounded, gathers together, the body full is the trace of flames of war. The war boots of their body under foot, the warhorse under body, has moistened mud layer upon layer, looked like as if passed through long climbing mountains and crossing rivers. However, how to climb mountains and cross rivers again also finally compares the U-Tsang cavalry. In their opposite, one group of more than hundred people of U-Tsang people gather, confronts distantly, as if prepares momentarily to launch the attack. Although the U-Tsang person independent combat not necessarily is the match of Chinese, but U-Tsang person, once has gathered hundred, can form primary fortress Aura. This team of more than hundred people of U-Tsang person Cavalryman clothes armor are bright, is good to put in order by the flaw, clearly is the condition to be extremely good, a side that chases down. U-Tsang person maneating world-famous, match who in addition on them thick armor, often faces the several fold, same dares to rush ahead. Reason that has not begun now, but dreaded that in the hill peak, the large-scale car(riage) crossbow that several Great Tang soldiers erect. U-Tsang person sincere plate armour of use standard, although the craft is not high, but relies on the pure thickness, can actually prevent the majority of arrows.
The car(riage) crossbow is big ** minority some can the direct front penetration, disregard the U-Tsang person plate armour weapon. Once the quantity of U-Tsang person has fallen hundred people, primary fortress Aura collapses of itself immediately. This is also they dreaded, although car(riage) crossbow accurate must miss actually many. „, Ka honk Luo......” Around the hill, commanding troops of several U-Tsang people are pointing at the people in hill peak with the finger, laughs, in the vision teased completely, even if gave up on the person to be the same. „Ha Ha, the U-Tsang person said that you could not escape. Annan Capital Protection Prefecture Great Tang elite is not their matches, let alone is the inland garrisons of these preparations. Quickly puts down the weapon, perhaps can also forgive you not dead!” Suddenly, the front row of team, the person's shadow steps to ride Malaysia together, stands in side of several U-Tsang people, with slightly somewhat strange Great Tang language machine translation. The helmet and armor and Great Tang that person of putting on are similar, but also has very big difference, the appearance also and Central Lands person is similar, but the face puts down slightly is shorter. Takes a broad view at the world, can be so similar to the Central Lands person, was south of Er'hai Moncheux imperial edict Empire. Pavilion Luo Feng ambushes the Great Tang reinforcements, has sent the massive officers to the U-Tsang person, helping them lead the way, director and supplying ideas. If not so, by U-Tsang person's strangeness to the Central Lands, how to ambush Li Zhengji. „Ha Ha Ha, puts down the weapon surrender, you think that we are three -year-old child? Black bear that the hero who Great Tang only then died in battle, has not knelt down. To take our lives, that oneself come!” On the hill, a Great Tang Ten Men Commander finger of blood blacking armor is pointing at the Moncheux imperial edict person in distant place, laughs. „What did he say?” In team, a U-Tsang person look one cold, asked in the U-Tsang language. Latter hastily that ** the Ten Men Commander words have translated. „Snort, from suiciding person! Namely however they want dead , helping them! Lifts the thing!” The sound falls, bang, war armor vibrates, boundless white Aura jump to shoot from these U-Tsang Cavalryman within the body, suddenly, only hears the yak howling continuously, lingering on faintly.
Together, two, three......, Rumble in the steel and iron vibration sound, 100 yak Aura appear in the under feet of these U-Tsang Cavalryman, merges into one organic whole with the body of Tibetan barley horse. But 100 yak Aura superimpose mutually, during the shake, the superposition, is void the ray change, a moment later light, vague fortress phantom appears in void immediately, covers more than 100 U-Tsang Cavalryman in inside completely. „Fortress”, although partly visible, but is only this presently, more than 100 U-Tsang Cavalryman aura raised one section immediately, a formidable aura erupts, immediately suppressed the rout of opposite hill peak **. „Kills!” The dark green sickle draws out, 56 team leader U-Tsang before, other people, after the fermentation of moment, bang the earth is shocked, more than 100 U-Tsang Cavalryman blot out the sky, the bee wells up. „Be careful!” The hill peak, saw that the U-Tsang person initiates the charge, audiences ** also slightly changed the complexion. Although the inland garrison is few and foreign land influence fights, what are more is the usual training as well as maintains the stability of inland. However these days, they have experienced the fearful strength of U-Tsang person massively. The quantity of U-Tsang person had surpassed them, in addition plate armour, as well as primary fortress Aura, this strength already being enough complete crush they. „Preparation!” Issues an order, hill peak spreads ka ka the crossbow trigger sound suddenly. Three had the car(riage) crossbow of carriage size to push fully suddenly, one row, aimed at the U-Tsang cavalry who under the hill has charged abreast in row. Blue black, the son arm is thick or thin, where had one zhang (3.33 m) long thick length arrow rapid fully the crossbow trigger. On the azure black arrow, blood red traces are similar to the python skin are the same, making these long arrows send out callously, extremely dangerous aura. These are inscription, to increase breaks the war armor ability, on these special car(riage) crossbow long arrows attached massive inscription. Buzz, at the same time, each car(riage) crossbow four soldiers, hand according to car(riage) crossbow, under billowing Astral Qi unceasing emerging car(riage) crossbow, in an instant, a dazzling brilliance sends out from above. Three car(riage) crossbows become the danger are incomparable immediately!
In the intense battlefield, the car(riage) crossbow absolutely is any soldier disturbing ignorant. The array of match is more crowded, the might of display is formidable. „xī yù yù!” The change of hill peak makes the audiences U-Tsang cavalry feel that immediately an intense danger coerces, but is quick, only hears a xī yù yù horse cry, formed the neat formation more than 100 U-Tsang cavalries to disperse instantaneously. At the same time, dozens U-Tsang cavalries run out from behind, the long-barrelled guns in these U-Tsang cavalry each famous artisans are selecting a corpse of Great Tang cavalry. The corpse platoons of more than ten Great Tang cavalries become a row, with their corpses on, iron armor composition protecting wall, kept off on more than 100 U-Tsang cavalries together. Buzz, sees this, the people in hill peak instantaneously changed the complexion. „Shameless!” No one has thought that the U-Tsang person will use this method unexpectedly. These days fight, they died in battle the massive companions, no one has thought that the U-Tsang person will use the corpse of companion as the shield unexpectedly, copes them. Fights a bloody battle together, the brothers of living and dying together, did everyone get down this hand? „Ha Ha Ha, kills!” One group of U-Tsang people laugh, select the corpse, the bee are welling up to go.

This page describes ten bhumis which is Chapter VII of the English translation of the Mahavastu (“great story”), dating to the 2nd-century BC. This work belongs to the Mahasanghika school of early Buddhism and contains narrative stories of the Buddha’s former lives, such as Apadanas, Jatakas and more..
Here must be given the Ten Bhūmis and the history of Dīpaṃkara.
Homage to the Buddhas! Homage to the Arhans!
The beginning of the Ten Bhūmis.
Incomparable is the insight into dharma of those who in the round of rebirths (64) have gathered lives through several hundred kalpas. The glorious Conquerors pass through ten bhūmis. Hear, ye wise, with what feats of wonder they do so.
Rid of pride, arrogance, conceit and folly, endued with perfect gentleness, feeling reverence for the omniscient ones, listen to the noble Conqueror’s teaching.
When the Tathāgata, the Śākyan’s joy, radiant like the sheen of gold, passed away, the earth, girt by sea and sky, with its rocks and forests and mountains, shook.
When he had thus reflected, the wise Kāśyapa, the monk supreme among the many monks, distressed in mind made haste and presently came to him who had won final release.
Then Kāśyapa felt an overpowering desire to salute the Conqueror’s feet, to salute the great seer’s feet, by caressing them with his head.
Four sturdy Mallas had come on the scene carrying large firebrands fanned to flame, which had been prepared by the chief Mallas.
The firebrands were carried by the energetic and strong chariot-warriors to the funeral-pile (66), but there they were at once extinguished as though they had been drenched with water.
In doubt and perplexity the Mallas, reverently, obeisantly and courteously approached Aniruddha, who had a deva’s sight, to ask him this question.
Thus did the pious Kāśyapa realise his desire to salute with his head the two feet of the glorious and mighty Daśahala, the great sage.
And the saintly Kāśyapa, a son of the Conqueror, honoured by all the monks, raised his joined hands and went up to the Conqueror’s funeral-pile, reverently, with bowed head and a humble heart.
The glorious Kāśyapa, reverently raising his joined hands threw himself on his face at the Conqueror’s feet, and for the last time adored the great seer and sage.
Those two feet, adorned with perfect circles, extolled by Dānava devas and honoured by Yakṣa snake-demons forthwith broke through the funeral-pile.
When he had heard this, the learned and wise [Aniruddha] replied to Kāśyapa: “These cold feet have been soiled by the floods of tears of mourners, besmirched by their weeping.
Kāśyapa, his mind full of the greatest reverence for the Master, fell on his face, and again and again caressed with his hands the Sage’s feet which were marked with perfect circles.
As soon as the Master’s feet had been saluted by the pious and virtuous Kāśyapa, the funeral pyre of the Lord of the world went up in flames, fanned by a gust of wind.
“He who bore the excellent marks of a Great Man has passed away, he who was our Master, the guide of Suras and Asuras. What does it profit us to tarry in the world any longer? Let us now abandon our bodies.
When they had thus spoken, Kāśyapa, pure in his piety, said to the holy men, “No, my friends, you cannot here and now pass away, immune from any source of rebirth.
“For, if you did, sectarians and heretics would arise and do harm to the peerless doctrine. This is the occasion of the Śramaṇa’s cremation, and that is all we are concerned with.
“Those world-saviours, those many lion-hearted men, (70) the wise and valiant yet to come, could not appear exultantly in the world if the Master’s teaching were not unified.
“So be it,” said these holy men, heeding Kāśyapa’s words. And they pondered then, “In what place, now, shall be held the assembly of those who believe in the dharma?
“Let it be in the pleasant luxuriant grove near the fair city of Rājagṛha that is the capital of Magadha’s lord, in the grotto named Saptaparṇa.
Then, strong by their mastery of magic power(71) those sons of the Conqueror instanteously rose up in the air, and flew like a flock of flamingoes on their way to lake Mānasa.
Alighting on the slope of the fair mountain they entered the forest and there sat down. When the Sugata’s teaching had been recited bands of celestial drums crashed forth.
And the pious Kāśyapa replied to the holy sons of the Conqueror: “These companies of devas have assembled because they have heard the harmonious recital of the doctrine.
“These assembled devas, themselves characterised by noble harmony, reverently rejoice, and do honour to the Peerless One. (72) Eager were they to hear the whole harmonious doctrine.
“With those five sages, the supreme guide of those who preach the Vinaya delivered hosts of devas and nayutas of koṭis of beings from rebirth and death.
“Hail, hail to him who is an expert in piety, (73) who is the infallible expositor of the Master’s teaching. You have proclaimed the worth of him whose wisdom is infinite. Men and devas have found joy in the excellent Conqueror.
“For he is supreme among devas and men. He is the Foremost Man, the mighty sage, the unsurpassed refuge, the Lord, he who has discerned the truth for the sake of living beings.
“He whose virtues are sung here, the knowing Daśabala, has shown that the skandhas are but as a lightning’s flash, as a bubble of air, or as the snow-white foam on the crest of a wave.
“He whose virtues are sung here, the Foremost Man, has shown the pleasures of sense to be like a black serpent’s head, like a flashing sword, and like cups full of poison.
“By his perfectly sound beliefs he saw the unfluctuating bliss beyond, and out of his joy in charity he ungrudgingly revealed the wonder of it.
“As a glow-worm loses its brightness when the sun rises, (74) and no longer glistens, so, when the light-bringing Conqueror arises fickle heretics lose their lustre.
“Behold, he who had won perfect strength in magic power, he who was a lord with a Conqueror’s might, possessed of clear insight, a Buddha, the eye of the world, radiant like an orb of gold, has passed away.
“Fie on those existences which are like autumn clouds, or like cities of sand, since he who possessed a store of virtues and an ocean of consummate wisdom, has passed away.
The sky was gay with garlands of celestial blossoms while this hymn of praise to the Sugata was sung. Pervaded by the essence of celestial sandalwood the sky was fragrant with ambrosial perfume.
And they, experienced in the Conqueror’s teaching, obeyed, and said “So be it.” They can see the minds of others as clearly as a fruit held in their hands.
To the holy Pralambabāhu Kāśyapa said, “Create at once an arena on the summit of Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa.
To the holy Vicintacūta Kāśyapa said, “Create at once in the sky clouds that shall be as rich in water as the Ganges.
And the sons of the Conqueror obeyed Kāśyapa, saying “So be it,” and bestirred themselves to the tasks ordained them.
When this had been said, the wise and noble-born Kātyā-ayna, in reply to Kāśyapa’s question, spoke of the careers of the Buddhas.
“Hear, O son of the Conqueror, the careers, set out in due order, of the all-seeing Buddhas whose conduct is unsullied.
“Verily, O son of the Conqueror, there are ten bhūmis for the Bodhisattvas [...]. What are the ten?
“The eighth is called janmanideśa; the ninth derives its name from yauvarājya, and the tenth from abhiṣeka. These are the ten bhūmis.
(77) When Kātyāyana had so spoken in verse, the learned Kāśyapa then, following his purpose, addressed this incomparable exhortation to Kātyāyana.
“Tell me now the manner of the transitions from bhūmi to bhūmi, and how the glorious Bodhisattvas lapse as they pass from one life to another.
“And how do these choice beings advance? This tell me. And say what their dispositions are.
“How do they who are endued with the essence of being convert beings? How do they give alms? All this explain to me.
“Do you, who have seen Buddhas and can speak with charm, tell me their names and origin.” Thus spoke Kāśyapa.
When they had heard these words the saintly great beings stood up in reverence for the great-hearted Buddhas.
As the kalpa has been declared immeasurable by the discerning, truth-speaking One himself, and the preaching of the dharma goes on for several kalpas—this, my friend, is what the pre-eminent man teaches.
So the bhūmi has been declared immeasurable by the discerning One whose understanding is unobstructed. And this definition of general characteristics applies equally to the other bhūmis.
Bhūmi, literally “ground,” “soil,” “earth,” here used to denote a career, or stage of development, of a Bodhisattva.
Adopting Senart’s suggestion of suṇātha for sadā.
Vikurviṣu, from vikurv, this stem having, as Senart shows, the sense of “miracle,” etc., derived from the primary sense of vikṛ, “to transform,” etc.
Or, “in scrupulous observance of routine rules of conduct.” Dhutaguṇa is the virtue of keeping what in Pali is termed dhutaṅga, “a set of practices leading to the state of, or appropriate to, a dhuta, that is, to a scrupulous person” (Pali Dictionary). The use of dhutaraja on p. 66 in the sense of “undefiled,” literally, “with defilement shaken off” (dhuta), serves to show that the dhutaṅga practices were regarded as marking, or conducing to, stainlessness of character.
Literally “a what-do-you-call-it man,” kiṃ-nara. For formation compare Sanskrit kiṃsakhi, “a bad friend,” etc., and Pali kimpurisa, “a wild man of the woods.” A Kinnara was half man, half beast, or, as in Pali, a bird with man’s head. As in the case of other fabulous beings, these were taken up by late Buddhist thought and classed as devas or re-incarnations of human beings.
In Pali usually Anuruddha, first cousin of the Buddha, and one of his most eminent disciples.
Dhutarajo, see note p. 53.
An alternative rendering, favoured by Senart, would be, “He exclaimed, ‘Fie on existence,’ in a voice that betrayed his true nature.” The position of iti, however, on which Senart bases his version, is often irregular in the Mahāvastu, and it does not necessarily support him, while the sentiment of the next stanza seems to support the translation given above.
A name for the Asuras, as being descendants of Danu.

I.e. the Buddha, the “ascetic” or “recluse,” par excellence.
Saṅkaliya “un optatif passif de saṅkal dans le sens d’ ‘accumuler,’ ‘réunir’” (Senart). Some form of samṣkṛ “make perfect” (cf. śāsanakarā, p. 71) or of saṅkḷip would be expected here. Note that one MS. has saṃkariya.

Locanaṃ bhagavatasya, literally “the eye of the Exalted One”; bhagavatasya must be regarded as a genitive of definition, so that the phrase is equivalent to “the Exalted One who is the eye” (sc. of the world). Cf. lohapradyota and note p. 37.

In Kansas, where recently more legislation has passed to support the rise of large-scale, corporate farms, KFU has working in the best interest of independent producers. As the state’s oldest active general farming organization, a state branch of the National Farmers Union (NFU), KFU has been influencing positive change since 1907 by bringing rural producers together in common goals.
The organization works to protect and enhance the economic interest and quality of life for family farmers and ranchers in Kansas communities. Teske has seen KFU’s strategy in action after 15 years with the organization. “I am responsible for representing our members’ policy in legislative, advocacy and educational issues, and the administration of the organization,” explains Teske.
When there’s a hot-button issue, Teske is first in line to address it. “We draft a testimony from our state office and either I go and speak on our behalf to the legislature or I have a member that’s been directly affected by an issue come testify,” he says.
Kansas is a state known for unorthodox legislation and under Governor Sam Brownback, the state is in the midst of a self-described economic ‘experiment,’ a project that is an attempt to wean the state’s government off the revenues of income taxes and transition to a government that is financed by consumption taxes — sales tax and property tax.
Teske says KFU prides itself on cutting through red tape, especially in the case of farming regulations that are over-the-top and unnecessary. “In the case of noxious weed laws, which we certainly need, we’re trying to eliminate the ones that just generate money for the large chemical companies and take control out of the county,” he explains.
Delegates from KFU participate in the annual D.C. Fly In, a migration to Washington, D.C., with other NFU state members to make a case for smarter farm polices. On Capitol Hill, KFU urged federal lawmakers to develop a farm bill that advances the country's food security, conservation, renewable energy and rural development priorities.
Another top priority on the KFU agenda is addressing the newly formed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact and how it makes farmers pay the cost of so-called free trade and more breaks for corporate agriculture. KFU’s argument is these policies favoring cheap commodities and cheaper food ingredients for corporate processors limit the rural farmer’s access to a global marketplace and make way for the importation of disease, contaminated food and greater market power for corporations.
Aside from lobbying for fair farming legislation that takes smaller producers into consideration, Teske says the vast majority of KFU’s work is in educational initiatives. “We have recently applied for a couple of grants to help support our Beginning Farmers program and veterans interested in farm careers through the Farmer Veterans Coalition (FVC),” says Teske.
Teske has also volunteered to serves as the treasurer of the SAVE Project, a newly formed nonprofit in Kansas that hopes to host 100 solider-students on a full-scale farm in conjunction with Kansas State University. Teske’s friend and colleague, Gary LaGrange is the face behind SAVE. “We’re working to get this program off the ground, which will include establishing curriculum at KSU and a 180-acre working farm, as well as classrooms, dormitories and more for vets looking to transition back into society and find a career on the farm.” The goal is to use SAVE as a model for other land-grant universities around the country to follow in the program’s footsteps.
To further its message, KFU has its own quarterly publication — The Kontact. The most recent issue touches on the TPP, the 2015 KFU Convention, the importance of investing in healthy soils and other organization and industry news and happenings. | 2019-04-21T15:31:15 | http://usbusinessexecutive.com/agriculture/case-studies/kansas-farmers-union-united-grow-family-agriculture |

Water capacity: Having to reload your gun each time in the middle of the action steals the fun. That is why you should ensure that you settle for has a reasonable water holding capacity to allow you or your kid play continuously for longer adding to the fun and enjoyment.
Price: Water guns vary in prices. Compare the price clause of what you intend to purchase with your budget allocation for the toy to ensure you don’t blister your wallet. Ensure what you take home has the best combination of quality and value.
Number of Guns – If you have 2 or more kids, then finding an option that offers 2 or more water guns is an excellent idea. 2 or more guns also means your children can play along with their friends to make the game even more exciting.

Interior designer Preeti Knowles,who studied at the American College in London and has a well-known design practice in India along with her husband, interiors and furniture design expert Mike Knowles, is known for innovative concepts and avant-garde designs.A sensibility rooted in form, effervescent style and a deep knowledge of crafts and local traditions, gives to her interiors the kind of depth lacking in designers who want to give/show all in a single project. Spaces designed by Preeti have an innate flamboyance that comes only with refined sensibility and crystallized thinking. The home of children’s books writer Tanya Luther Agarwal in Delhi’s Panchsheel Park was like working for a friend you know well. “Actually, our liking for each other grew as we did the project. Tanya loved the way my home was designed and we just took off from there,” says Preeti. Tanya couldn’t have had it better as she gave the interiors project to Preeti to design on a turnkey basis.Completed in just over three months, the home’s effortless style comes across at first glance. The 2800 sq ft home has a drawing room with a dining area, three bedrooms, one guest bedroom, an open family room with attached study, a kitchen, and the piece de resistance, the Mediterranean styled terrace, complete with pergolas, white grill frames for hanging creepers, a bar, water fountains and a broken slate flooring that enhances the relaxed feel of the space.
Perky pinks, oranges and aqua offset the neutral tones in the drawing-room and the dining area. The wall at the back has a smokeless fuel fire-place, with sleeper wood bars bordering the unit. The Celadon glazed ceramic masks on the focal wall at the back and the white metal coffee table have been designed by furniture designer Mike Knowles. The glass dining table top has an etched jaali pattern. The art work behind the dining table depicting the four seasons of Japan with etching of 24 carat gold paint is by Tanya’s brother.The armless chair with a footstool is a famous design called the Kahani chair designed by Preeti.
Preeti devised a blue and green wall texture in the entrance foyer in synch with the Tangkha artwork. The rough burl wooden border on the mirror is from a local wood picked up by Preeti’s carpenter. The console is designed from local neem wood.Tanya’s bedroom furniture is from In living. The pen and ink Tree of Life artwork is by Noida based artist Priyabrata Roy Chowdhury. The soft furnishings have been designed and made by Preeti, with some accents by Good Earth and Tanya’s mother.The LCD TV is placed above a coral glossy lacquer cabinet designed by Preeti. The Chinese water-colour bamboo and cherry blossom art work was artfully placed by Preeti to enhance the artistic feel of the space.
Son Karan’s bedroom has a leatherite white bed and a Stanley Lazy Boy style chair. The artwork was picked up from the streets of Bangkok.Tanya’s study with a red wall and limed oak finish wooden shelves and chair is an extension of the family lounge area. Most of Tanya’s inspiration is penned here. The black and white artwork is by Priyabrata Roy Chowdhury. (www.studioroy.in). The families chat area has a red recliner sofa re-upholstered by Preeti. The limed oak finish table and chair have a unique vintage charm.
The terrace used for outdoors entertaining at night is inspired by the Mediterranean look. The pergolas are in white metal. The peacock tea light holder is by Italian designer Giandaniele Asquini. The crazy paving broken slate floor adds to the relaxed look of the space. Chirping of birds, green creepers and water fountains sets this space as a virtual retreat.

Try coloring our new "Angry Birds" tessellation. We have a new tracing paper tessellation tutorial. This one uses equilateral triangles, "kite" shapes, and rotational (spin) symmetry. A review of Pam Stephens' and Jim McNeill's introductory do-it-yourself tessellation book for artistic kids roughly 8 to 11 years old. A tutorial for how to make a rubber stamp from a medicine bottle or the top of a soda bottle. Professor Kevin Lee decorates his office door with tessellation stickers made with a vinyl cutter and once again drives his car over his art. (What is WRONG with this guy?!?) Make-A-Fish Foundation encourages everyone to enjoy our differences and similarities, and for self-described "non-artists" to become artists. They show us uniquely, individualistically decorated fish in tessellations on canvases, on sculpted,wooden, and molded pendants, in papercraft, and more. Oakgrove Primary School aaaalll the way over in Glasgow, Scotland shows off the tessellation art made by 4 of their 4th level students, just 8 years old. Bruce Bilney & Webmaster Seth have made do-it-yourself print-&-fold templates for you to make papercraft seahorse-, goldfish-, & turtle-theme 3D octahedron, dodecahedron, and cube tessellations. We've raised our standard for tessellation art sent by you for display here on Tessellations.org. Kevin Lee now offers a FREE COPY of "TesselManiac", his NEW TESSELLATION CREATION SOFTWARE (with some features disabled) or a full-feature version for about 30 US dollars.
Click here for a more complete list of our newest tessellation stuff.
Tessellations here mean symmetric designs featuring animals, toasters, persons, etc, which can fit together in repetitive patterns like simple jigsaw puzzles. These fill a surface, usually a 2D plane, without gaps or overlaps. Brick walls, tiled floors, and the honeycomb in bee hives are all tessellations. You can see example tessellations at the top of every page in this website, and in our many many galleries of tessellation art by pros and amateurs, adults and kids.
On these pages is information about all aspects of tessellations. We have their history, do-it-yourself tessellation lessons, and galleries of examples by school students, guest artists, the webmasters Seth and Dr. David, and of course M. C. Escher, the pioneer of the art.
This site is a dedicated art site, not requiring much math. Math teachers, don't be forlorn. We do show a smidgen of introductory geometry and quite a few do-it-yourself tutorials. As M. C. Escher said, "Mathematicians go to the garden gate but they never venture through to appreciate the delights within." Let me put that another way: you're missing the fun if you use a microscope to enjoy a merry-go-round. We have a little simple geometry in the lessons and explanations, but nothing as fancy as the serious adults' math-oriented tessellation websites.
If, as a result of your visit, you venture through that garden gate and hop on that merry-go-round, please send us your tessellation art for inclusion in the guest gallery.
TEACHERS - This whole site is entirely suitable & inoffensive for young children, space aliens, the Pope, garden gnomes, and grandparents. The space aliens and Pope might need some help with the English.
Tessellations.org was Yahoo's 'Pick of the Week' on Feb 15 2004. Since then we've been the top website for tessellations on Google, Bing, Yahoo, and so on. We get between 3,000 and 8,000 visitors per day.
TEACHERS, SCHOOLS, and ARTISTS - This site is actively seeking art, lesson plans, and tutorials from guest contributors. Contact us.
SCHOOLS - Recently, many schools have asked to have their students' artwork put in a school gallery here. Yes, we'd be happy to post your class's tessellations in a "school gallery" on www.Tessellations.org. Here's how you can make it happen. | 2019-04-20T11:25:24 | http://tessellations.org/ |

A Google Edu account is a powerful tool to support teaching and learning in your school. All schools and colleges are entitled to a Google Edu account. A Google Edu account for your school provides access to an email account, Google Drive, G Suite Sheets (Docs/Slides/Sheets apps), Google Classroom and unlimited storage space for every member of staff and student. It can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. If you need support in setting up and administering a Google Edu account our friends over at cre8tiveit.solutions can help you.
In this post, I’m assuming you already have a Google Edu account for your school. Below I’ll share ways you can get the most from your Google Edu account in Geography.
Google drive provides storage space in the cloud (the internet to you and me!). You can upload existing documents to Google Drive and share these with colleagues and/or students within your organisation (and those outside!), this means there is no need for external drives. Any resources you upload or create from home using G Suite will be available when you log in at school. You can also download the Google Drive app for your computer/laptop to save your documents locally. They will then automatically upload to your Google Drive. You can share folders with members of your team so you can share resources quickly and easily. This helps reduce workload because they can make a copy and quickly adapt it so it meets the needs of their students.
Google Drive enables you to quickly share model examples with your class. They can refer to these should they need further guidance.
If students share their work with you through Google Drive you have a real-time view of the progress they are making as you can view what they are doing and give feedback immediately. You can also display the work of a student using a digital projector and have the class provide feedback. Another benefit of sharing documents is that you can also make copies of student work to use as models in the future.
Using Google Drive can help you achieve a paperless classroom saving hundreds of pounds of your departmental budget each year.
A file is created in G Suite it includes a history of engagement within the document. This means that you can see who has collaborated and when. Ultimately, in group projects, you can uncover who has contributed to the work.
Drive automatically saves documents in real time which overcomes the issues many of us have experienced with computers crashing and work being lost. Even with the best will in the world students and teachers forget to save work. You can rest assured that the auto-save within Google Docs, Sheets and Slides will save you in any of these situations.
Google Forms is a really useful tool for gathering formative feedback. You can create questionnaires to get feedback from students or, with a 3/4G connection, use them when completing fieldwork. Also, they could be used to check understanding by setting up tests.
If you collect email addresses, you can assign points and leave feedback on individual responses.
Quizzes can be used to check learning if you are using a flipped learning approach. For homework, students could watch an online video then complete a quiz. This will show you they have watched the video and the degree to which they have understood it.
All the features explored here are pulled together into Google Classroom, a learning management solution, built specifically for eduction. I’ll explore this in a future post.
If your school has not got a Google Edu account you need to start knocking on doors and if you need support getting the infrastructure set up give cre8tiveit.solutions a shout. cre8tiveit.solutions can also provide training in the use of G Suite. | 2019-04-22T15:14:31 | https://www.internetgeography.net/reasons-to-use-google-drive-in-your-geography-classroom/ |
Now that “The Big Bang Theory” has given a fan a trip to outer space, I was wondering if Simon Helberg has any thought of doing it for real?
Simon Helberg, 31, who plays Caltech engineer Howard Wolowitz, was at Comic-Con when a fan of “The Big Bang Theory” was awarded the $95,000 trip aboard XCOR Aerospace’s Lynx RLV by Warner Bros. Television. At that time, he joked that he should have called out his own name instead of the winner, but the reality is, according to the Los Angeles, Calif.-born actor, he might not be quite ready for blast-off.
In the season finale of “The Big Bang Theory,” newly married Wolowitz was launched into space aboard a Russian Soyuz space capsule to accompany the telescope he built. But Helberg says in real life, he thinks there are easier ways to see the planet. | 2019-04-20T18:18:15 | https://americanprofile.com/articles/big-bang-theory-simon-helberg/ |
basking in the sun. It’s a postcard-perfect scene of cords of wood cut from timber. And it is a splendid demonstration of seasoning wood for optimum burning in the fall and winter.
Even though summer is upon us, selecting and seasoning firewood now will bring benefits next fall and winter. Using seasoned firewood will improve the performance of your fireplace or stove. It is not too early to begin seasoning your firewood. In fact, you need all the time (and then some) between now and heating season to properly season your firewood.
As our name indicates, Old Smokey’s Fireplace & Chimney knows about wood and how to burn it. With more than 30 years of satisfying customers in northeast Indiana, northwest Ohio, and midsouth Michigan, we are proud to serve you. Call 260-424-0009 or 800-876-6539, or schedule an appointment online for any issues related to fireplaces, hearths, chimneys — and firewood.
What exactly is meant by “seasoned firewood”?
Seasoning your firewood means drying it out, and not via industrial-strength hair dryers! It takes time.
Seasoned firewood has about 20 percent moisture content. It has several important characteristics and features that affect combustion. For one thing, seasoned firewood tends to light more easily, and it burns more readily and efficiently. When it burns, there’s less creosote buildup and less smoke.
Your choice of the type of seasoned firewood also affects the quality and type of fire you have in your fireplace or stove. It is wise to use hardwoods such as oak, hickory, and elm because hardwoods produce a longer-lasting fire.
How do you season firewood? Picture the scene at that lumberyard. Stack it and dry it for at least six months before you burn it in your fireplace or wood-burning stove. Many people like to season their firewood for a full year. Some say you can season firewood in only three months, but that’s pushing the limit.
Sun and wind are you strongest allies when it comes to seasoning your firewood. Knowing that, pile your chopped firewood in a place where the sun’s rays can warm it and the wind can blow. Space the rows enough apart so that sun and wind can do their work. Consider putting the wood on a raised platform.
Old Smokey’s suggests you take full advantage of the drying effects of wind and sun by leaving the wood fully exposed during the day. If the forecast calls for clear weather, you might leave the wood open and uncovered in the daytime. If there’s a chance of rain, you can cover it.
But time is your biggest factor in seasoning wood, even more than wind and sun. Allowing ample time for firewood seasoning is your greatest assurance of success. It’s sort of a reversal of marinating. Both require time and patience.
The professionals at Old Smokey’s are eager to share their experiences, and those of our many customers over the years, regarding firewood seasoning. We enjoy the crackling conversation — in any season. | 2019-04-19T13:41:08 | https://www.oldsmokeys.com/summer-tips-storing-wood/ |
Dear friends! This is a brief video report about our recent visit to the Kalashnikov, where we have recorded the reference footage and sounds for implementation of their weapons in Escape from Tarkov. Have fun watching! | 2019-04-24T00:54:02 | https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/news/id/38 |
Once you have made your initial Chiropractic appointment we will send you a link for your intake paperwork. Please make sure you do this at least one day prior to your appointment. This gives the doctor time to review your health history. Please take the time to fill it out as completely as possible. This is important so that the doctor has as much information as possible about your health history.
Upon entering the office, we have some brief paperwork for you to fill out. The paperwork provides us with a pain index concerning your condition and compliant HIPPA forms.
In order to determine your actual problem, the doctor will ask you various questions related to your condition. Next, a number of specialized Neurological & Orthopedic tests will be performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.
After a detailed review of your health history, examination, and radiology findings, a care plan will be developed for you. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapy, massage therapy, and/or decompression.
You will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. Generally speaking, patients are seen within 1-2 days and are provided with a complete review of findings. Treatment options and a treatment plan for your condition will also be discussed during this time. | 2019-04-25T18:12:16 | http://www.fairfaxchiropractor.com/index.php?p=32601 |

Rhett has interviewed a long list of very influential people including Secretary of State, Colin Powell; Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford; Reverend Billy Graham, Tommy Lee Jones, Garth Brooks, Los Angeles Dodgers Manager, Tommy Lasorda; Dr. Robert Schuller; Carly Simon; and “60 Minutes” veteran Mike Wallace. I therefore, consider myself in very good company!
Thank you, Rhett, for the great interview and I look forward to speaking with you again soon! | 2019-04-25T14:33:47 | https://chrisbroyhillbooks.com/interview-with-rhett-palmer/ |
This morning my wife Emily started talking about a book she was reading that really struck a chord with me. The book is about a girl who struggled throughout school. She was disruptive in class so the school wrote her off as challenged and sent her to a special school. Her parents then sent her to a psychologist who determined that she was mentally fine. The psychologist turned on the radio, left the room, then watched as the little girl danced around the room passionately. His diagnosis? Put her in dance classes. That challenged little girl grew to became the choreographer for the play “Cats” and many other Broadway plays that have swept the nation.
I love this story because my youth was not so different. I was diagnosed with a learning disability in elementary school. My problem was that I couldn’t effectively learn and be engaged with the single and narrow method that the school system deemed to work for everyone. As a result my grades suffered throughout high school.
To my rescue came the special education system. My teachers dove deep into understanding my strengths, weaknesses, and how I learn best. Early in high school I was able to discover my true strengths and started to harness them. Doing this early in life has allowed me to have the career and ultimately live the life of my dreams. I’m very fortunate to have gone though the alternate education system. I even had classes that taught me important stuff like how to do a personal budget, how to open a checking account, pay bills, etc. Things everyone else has to learn the hard way.
What saddens me is that I had to be “special” to benefit from this awesome education. Could you imagine if everyone were taught to harness their strengths and follow their passions in the school system? As parents we cannot trust that the school system will take care of it.
Screw your weaknesses, harness your strengths.

Thank you for your reply Ric. I thought as thorough as TIGHAR is this couldn't have been missed, but I still wasn't sleeping well. It is a relief, although pirates will be pirates. You've done what can be done.
Is anything being done to ensure the protection of the wreck when found?
Yes. The Republic of Kiribati asserts ownership of all properties within their national borders. Immediately following the State Department event on March 20, TIGHAR and the Republic of Kiribati signed an Antiquities Management Agreement that makes TIGHAR the exclusive agent for searching, recovering, and conserving all artifacts related to Amelia Earhart within the borders of Kiribati. The high level of U.S. Government interest evident on March 20 insures that if wreckage of the plane is discovered during TIGHAR's July expedition, it will be kept under close surveillance until a recovery expedition can be mounted. It is our hope and intention that any artifacts and/or wreckage confirmed to be related to Earhart, Noonan or the Electra ultimately be exhibited at the Smithsonian National Air 7 Space Museum.
In April 2011, David Alan Atcheson posted on the Forum about his interest in Scuba diving, and a tour group that was advertising a 2012 trip through the Phoenix Islands, including Nikumaroro (which the tour group, Pacific Expeditions, refers to still as Gardner Island). A similar expedition had been advertised to occur about the same time as TIGHAR's Niku VI expedition in 2010.
Ric responded about 15 minutes later, noting that the advertised trip had not been properly cleared with authorities, and apparently ended up not visiting Niku. Also, Ric had been in contact with the folks at PIPA about the group's planned visits in the summer of 2011, and it appeared that Pacific Expeditions had subsequently performed the due diligence to obtain the necessary authorizations for its 2011 trip.
Pacific Expeditions Ltd website lists two upcoming planned visits to the Phoenix Islands, including Niku: the first a Scuba diving voyage that runs from 30 May to 15 June, and the second a non-diving voyage that begins 26 June and ends 13 July. Both potential visits would seem to be scheduled to occur before the Niku VII expedition arrives at Niku.
The program for the Symposium has been finalized and published on the Earhart Search 75 website.
See attached .pdf file for a thumbnail sketch. TIGHAR would be very grateful if you would circulate this to any groups who might be interested.
Thanks Marty and team. That's really great news. I hope to hear all about it at the symposium.
Hope to meet a bunch of you in DC.
Sure wish i could be there but its too far and the wrong time of year for me. IF the event was filmed i would be interested in buying a DVD tough.
I would buy a DVD also - would LOVE to go but cannot. Would love to meet you all and have a cold one (or two)..but to all who do attend, have a great time and soak up all the information for us that cannot be there!!
We need to circulate the attached brochure as widely as possible to drum up attendance at the Symposium. It is just a few days away, for all practical purposes, and registration is light.
It will be a great opportunity to interview the people who have built TIGHAR from scratch and who have assembled the world's greatest collection of Earhart information.
Even if you disagree with the TIGHAR team, this is your chance to make your case in person.
I'm excited about the prospect of being there, and I've met most of the presenters through EPAC already. It will be a great event. Even if you can't come yourself, maybe you know someone else who would be interested.
Thanks for your consideration of this request to help get the word out. Very much appreciated.
Are there any forum readers in the Toronto Ontario Canada area who are waffling? I would be happy to connect with you and discuss why attending is a good idea. I could even cancel my airfare and drive some interested parties down and back in a van. No cost for the trip down. You're responsible for your registration and hotel. But it would save some money if it helps. Send me a personal message thru the forum. Let's have a big Canadian contingent to show our American friends we care.
You guys know what? There is a BUNCH of information here to brush up on before going to DC.
YOu really dont realize just how much information and work has been put into this, until you start studying it -AGAIN---WOW.
Ok guys, make this conference count, you have the publics interest, publicity and press coverage. You have ALL put in a huge amount of work so good luck and best wishes.
If anyone attending the conference is interested in taking some time to search the Naval Observatory Records for the numbers on the Sextant Box given to Fred Noonan by Harry Manning, I have the search information from their Archivist. It is what I'd be doing if I was able to attend.
The Naval Observatory was responsible for calibrating Sextants and Octants back then. We know that Harry gave Fred a relatively new model aircraft Octant before the last flight. We also have a record of the numbers on the "Sextant Box" found on Niku. What we don't know is whether the numbers on the Niku "Sextant Box" are the same as the numbers that were on the "Manning" box. The answer is (likely, or maybe only possibly) in the Naval Observatory Records, "1923-1943 (Entry 14 Record Group 78, 103 feet)" and are sub-classified in some way I have not had experience with.
It is a search I plan to undertake the next time I'm on the opposite coast from Washington State, but that might be years from now. Any help would be greatly appreciated by myself, and I'm sure by others as well.
Good luck at the Symposium everybody. Are there any plans for "play by play" posts? I'm sure those attending will be rather busy, but will there be a new thread that gives the highlights? | 2019-04-23T02:52:35 | http://tighar.org/smf/index.php?topic=605.msg12465 |
With countryside to rival any on the West Coast of Ireland, Clougherhead has a popular beach. Chalets line the rise behind the strand making the most of their sea-view and the gently shelving beach gradually fills as families come out to enjoy the sun. With mum and dad, son and daughter and the family dog, all racing in in to enjoy the waves before heading back up the beach for breakfast.
Families here take pride in their chalet-life during the summer months and some come back generation after generation to weekend and holiday in this prized spot.
Taking the path from the beach we were told of a lovely walk from the village along the sea cliffs into picturesque Port Oriel Harbour. “Be guided by the Dancing Starfish.” They told us. A grassy track up over the cliffs, full of places to scramble and explore, we found craggy inlets topped with mauve clover flowers and white daisies lead down into deep gorges. We climbed down one of these gorges to plunge in and, as we swam around the rock-face, we found what remains of Red Mans Cave, almost inaccessible now after decades of the seas erosion.
There are several gory tales as to how this place got its name; one story is set during the Cromwellian wars of 1649, which tells of Cromwell’s soldiers having put to death a number of Catholic Priests here. Until recently the cave was repainted red to commemorate this event, now, time and sea, have worn it almost away. The cave also is said to lead to a tunnel which runs to the tower at Killarty where St Oliver Plunkett was sheltered prior to his imprisonment and execution in 1681.
With a shiver we re-traced our strokes back into bright sunlight and climbed out to follow the rocky coastline further. Dancing along the harbour wall, standing tall and waving to welcome us into Port Oriel, the starfish is a happy sight.

Long story short, we are downloading the wrong file. They fixed it, will just take time to propagate.
They should have given us an alt download source while we wait, but whatever.
thanks lex for the link. I hope this draws attention to us android players so we actually get a working update feature instead of the current method of installing.
Yep. I primarily play on Android. So this hurts.
Realistically, they need to put this into the Play store and take the slight income hit for the huge influx of players.
Obviously they should not do it now, as the game is already suffering because of F2P woes. | 2019-04-19T08:40:29 | https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/106718-%D0%98%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0-%D0%BD%D0%B0-Android/ |
The clock is ticking. Every second, it seems, someone in the world takes on more debt. The idea of a debt clock for an individual nation is familiar to anyone who has been to Times Square in New York, where the American public shortfall is revealed. Our clock shows the global figure for all (or almost all) government debts in dollar terms.
Does it matter? After all, world governments owe the money to their own citizens, not to the Martians. But the rising total is important for two reasons. First, when debt rises faster than economic output (as it has been doing in recent years), higher government debt implies more state interference in the economy and higher taxes in the future. Second, debt must be rolled over at regular intervals. This creates a recurring popularity test for individual governments, rather as reality TV show contestants face a public phone vote every week. Fail that vote, as the Greek government did in early 2010, and the country can be plunged into imminent crisis. So the higher the global government debt total, the greater the risk of fiscal crisis, and the bigger the economic impact such crises will have. | 2019-04-20T18:46:15 | http://www.thepeakeffect.com/2011/10/global-debt-clock.html |

Does BJP's cancellation of Modi's Kolkata rally betray party's lack of preparedness for showdown with TMC?
The cancellation of a rally scheduled on 8 February to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has led to questions as to whether the BJP is afraid to take on the TMC so close on the heels of Mamata Banerjee's mega Opposition show of strength in Kolkata.
Trinamool Congress MP Saumitra Khan joined the BJP on Wednesday, giving a fillip to the saffron party's campaign in West Bengal in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls. | 2019-04-25T09:20:05 | https://www.firstpost.com/tag/saumitra-khan |

From the very beginning, It Rains Love brings back the classic modes of groove and soul from decades past. Known sometimes as “Little JB”, for his vocal and visual resemblance to James Brown, Lee Fields was born in North Carolina in 1951 and at 17 years old, he headed to New York in pursuit of his music career. Although he never gained huge popularity, Fields exemplifies and revives the Motown and R&B traditions that artists like Al Green, Marvin Gaye, or The Temptations introduced in the ’60s and ’70s.
On the fourth track, “You’re What’s Needed in My Life,” the funk is toned down, allowing room for a tender but sincere ballad. Backed-up with guitar, piano, horn, this song makes the heart sigh. Like on his previous single “Just Can’t Win,” he displays a masterful ability to know when to layer instrumentals or to keep it just drums and vocals. Classic backup female vocals also make this a nostalgic and authentic representation to the past musical eras.
“Wake Up” recalls Gospel styles, talking about “only the truth can set us free.” Like “Taking It to the Streets” by the Doobie Brothers, Lee Fields talks about having a better social-awareness and about being yourself in the face of contemporary culture. The album’s idea of love, likewise, is not solely romantic. It encompasses a love for one another regardless of race or gender, trying to illustrate that we are all on this planet together, and so need to stand with each other to make it a better place. As with the rest of It Rains Love, the track’s instrumentals are consistent and never overwhelm the listener, allowing the vocals space to deliver their message.
Lee Fields and The Expressions also delve into more echoing, perhaps even psychedelic, tones. “Love Prisoner” (as well as “Love is the Answer”) is a break from the previous straight-R&B of the previous songs. Fields continually slows and down and speeds up the tempo in a way that catches the listener off-guard. Yes, he continues to use brass and guitar, but they are implemented in a looser way, let off the leash a little bit. At 1:01, he sways off into a dreamy rhythm, perfectly demonstrating his feeling of being lost without his woman, then continues A Tempo—doing this several times more throughout.
Although some reviewers have claimed that It Rains Love is nothing new, this is not really a major concern to any fan of Sharon Jones, Aretha Franklin, or Otis Redding. Some tracks like “A Promise is a Promise” or “God is Real” are a bit more innovative (instrumental-wise). Lee Fields might not be reinventing soul music, but he’s been doing it longer than most and experienced firsthand the kinds of R&B, roots-testifying tunes that course through his sound. It Rains Love does not attempt to innovate in a culture where the Contemporary Moment seeks to move only forward; it is just itself, satisfied, lively, energetic, authentic, and a true treat for the nostalgia boiling within the soul. | 2019-04-18T10:34:56 | https://www.treblezine.com/reviews/lee-fields-expressions-it-rains-love-review/ |
Bird, Seychelles’ most northerly island is 100km or a 30-minute flight north of Mahé. The island was once known as Ile aux Vaches because of the dugongs (sea cows) that thrived there.
During the period of the southeast trade winds (May-September), Bird is colonised by more than a million sooty terns that each lay their eggs on their own exclusive square foot of territory. Bird also hosts populations of lesser noddies and fairy terns as well as white-tailed tropic birds, fodies, plovers and wimbrels.
Situated at the northern edge of the archipelago where the ocean floor plummets to 2000 metres, Bird has extraordinarily rich marine life in the form of hawksbill and green turtles, dolphins and even the occasional whale.
Once famous for its sizeable population of giant land tortoises, Bird now boasts 'Esmeralda,' the world’s heaviest giant land tortoise living in the wild, weighing in at over 300kg and reputed to be more than 200 years old. Incidentally, 'Esmeralda' is a male.
In the early 1970's, Bird turned to tourism, and with several conservation programmes in place, the Bird Island Lodge stands at the forefront of eco-tourism in Seychelles.
Twenty-four comfortable bungalows, excellent beaches, a reputation for good cuisine and a convivial atmosphere complement great opportunities for snorkelling, deep-sea fishing, and nature watching. | 2019-04-24T09:56:59 | https://www.seychelles.travel/de/discover/the-islands/inner-islands/bird-island?id=2021 |

SALT LAKE CITY -- Sixth-ranked Stanford registered its 15th sweep of the season with a 25-17, 25-15, 25-17 win at Utah on Sunday, at the Huntsman Center. The win moved the Cardinal to 18-5 overall and 11-3 in the Pac 12, while the Utes fell to 17-9 overall and 6-8 in the conference.
Sophomore middle blocker Inky Ajanaku led the Cardinal with nine kills on 14 attempts with no errors to hit .643. Sophomore outside hitter Jordan Burgess also registered nine kills to go with eight digs, including the 600th of her career, and two blocks. Senior Carly Wopat finished with eight kills and a team-high six blocks, while senior Rachel Williams added eight kills and six digs.
Sophomore setter Madi Bugg controlled the offense with 33 assists. Bugg also recorded eight digs, three kills and three blocks. Junior libero Kyle Gilbert finished with a team-best 12 digs. Sophomore outside hitter Brittany Howard finished with six kills and 10 digs. Howard notched her 500th career kill in the opening set. Overall, Stanford finished with nine blocks, while Utah posted seven.
LOS ANGELES -- Fourth-ranked USC (22-3, 12-2 Pac-12) made short work of Oregon State (9-16, 0-14) as the Women of Troy beat the Beavers in straight sets 25-21, 25-11, 25-12 at Galen Center on Sunday. It was the fourth consecutive victory for the Trojans and their 10th in a row against Oregon State. In fact, USC has now won 29 consecutive sets against the Beavers since 2008.
Oregon State dropped its 14th consecutive match, which ties for the second longest losing streak in program history and remained winless in conference matches, this season.
Senior middle blocker Alexis Olgard scored 11.0 points as she logged eight kills (0e, 14att) and hit .571 on the day. Olgard also had four blocks (two solo) and four digs. Freshman outside hitter Ebony Nwanebu led all players with 13.5 points and did her damage on the offensive end with 13 kills (1e, 23att) and a .522 hitting percentage.

Bricio also moved into an eighth-place tie for career aces at USC with Tracy Clark (1982-85). She now has 106 in her two seasons at Troy.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Missouri used a season-high 19.0 blocks to escape a scrappy Alabama team 3-1 (25- 22, 24-26, 25-20, 25-12), on Sunday afternoon at Foster Auditorium. Junior All-SEC middle blocker Whitney Little posted a season-high 10 blocks in the win and the outside hitting duo of Lisa Henning and Carly Kan combined for 26 kills in the win. Mizzou is now 29-0 overall and 13-0 in SEC play as the Tigers sit alone atop the league standings with a trip to No. 5 Florida (22-2, 11-1) looming next Friday.
The Tigers did a great job of slowing down Alabama freshman middle Krystal Rivers, who hit an uncharacteristic .176, her second-lowest clip of the season. Carly Kan, another of the top freshman in the conference, outshined Rivers on Sunday with 14 kills on .242 hitting with 11 digs and four blocks for her seventh of the season and second of the weekend. She added three service aces as well. Lisa Henning had 12 kills and 11 digs for her second double-double of the season. Emily Wilson added nine kills on .273 hitting and Little pitched in seven kills on .462 hitting to go along with her 10 blocks. Freshman Julia Towler came off the bench and gave Mizzou a huge boost with five kills on .833 hitting with four blocks. Senior setter Molly Kreklow spread 48 assists and pulled in eight digs while tallying eight blocks. Sarah Meister had 19 digs as well. | 2019-04-24T02:42:48 | https://www.ncaa.com/news/volleyball-women/case-you-missed-it/2013-11-10/stanford-earns-15th-sweep-season-defeats-utah |

Ad networks with advanced targeting capabilities are giving national brands and smaller advertisers a way to drive conversion rates and boost sales. By narrowing their focus and targeting specific audiences based on location, demographics, or interests, advertisers can increase the relevancy of their ads and improve click-through rates (CTRs) by a factor of 2x.
Although targeted ad campaigns are being used in nearly every vertical, a 2012 report by Verve Mobile found that brick-and-mortar retailers, restaurants, and businesses with “inherently local products,” are leading the way in location and demographic targeting. Here are six ad networks that offer these targeting capabilities.
1. Airpush: Increase the relevancy of mobile ads.
Airpush is a mobile ad network for Android. Marketers can use Airpush to launch campaigns in multiple formats, using “HyperTarget technology” to reach consumers based on audience profiles, purchase histories, location, carrier, device, operating system, and time of day. This advanced targeting allows advertisers to drive the same number of sales (if not more) than they would with traditional online advertising, while sending out fewer ads, therefore, reducing the cost. Airpush ads are priced by CPC.
2. Millennial Media: Push ads to your target audience.
Millennial Media has developed a proprietary technology that separates audiences into seven unique segments. Advertisers can target consumers based on demographic characteristics (like education or age), behavior (based on actions related to interest, purchase intent, and life stage), location, mobile device, and context (what is going on around the consumer at the moment when the ad is being served). Ads can also be served based on the types of content being consumed, and they can be retargeted to reach consumers who’ve already expressed interest in a brand. Advertisers can manage their own mobile campaigns on the Millennial Media platform using a CPC model.
3. Jumptap: Get intelligent targeting at scale.
By relying on partnerships with more than 20 third-party data providers, Jumptap has been able to build detailed audience profiles that advertisers can use to target virtually any demographic. Audiences are categorized into “hundreds of discrete segments,” based on factors like purchase intent, purchase history, geography, interests, and lifestyle. Advertisers can narrow the focus of their mobile ads to reach only moms, luxury car drivers, Latinos, or business travelers at specific locations or times of the day. Although fewer people will see an ad as the number of selected categories increases, the CTR for each delivered ad should increase. Advertisers who use Jumptap can choose between a CPC or CPM model.
4. InMobi: Reach audiences in any location.
InMobi is a mobile ad network that advertisers and agencies can use to reach audiences anywhere in the world. The company’s in-house research team helps clients pinpoint the consumers they’re hoping to target, based on location, lifestyle, and demographics (like gender and age), as well as carrier and device. Using InMobi’s geolocation API, publishers can geo-target their advertisers’ ads on any mobile platform. Ad scheduling allows advertisers to deliver their ads on specific days, at specific times. InMobi uses a CPC revenue model for advertisers and publishers.
5. DMG: Ensure mobile users are getting the most relevant message.
Advertisers who partner with DMG can rely on the network’s precision targeting capabilities to ensure their ads are being seen by mobile users at the most relevant times. DMG’s mobile platform supports targeting based on geolocation, day and time, carrier, device (make and model), traffic type (3G or WiFi), and channel. Advertisers can choose between a number of display ad types, including image banner ads, text banner ads, expandable banners, and HTML5. DMG operates on a CPC and CPM model.
6. Affinity: Use device targeting to boost campaign ROI.
Affinity’s “contextual” ad network offers tools that marketers need to run text-based PPC campaigns. The network’s enhanced targeting features allow advertisers to streamline their campaigns by selecting the devices (iPad, iPhone, Android), operating systems, and browsers where their ads should appear. Advertisers can also target their messages based on business category, geography (down to the country/state/city level), and keywords. Advertisers can set up campaigns to run only in selected business categories (like restaurants), in selected locations (like Seattle or New York), and on selected devices (like Android phones).
Know of other ad networks with targeting capabilities? Leave a description in the comments.
Twitter Looks to Monetize Location, But Is It Cart-Before-Horse?
Hi Stephanie nice article, check out http://pingjam.com we are the first caller id ad network, our SDK has an innovative display area and contextual targeting.
Thumbs up for HyperTarget… Airpush and then maybe Millennial Media are the two best that you’ve listed when it comes to really, really good targeting capabilities.
Have not had good experiences with InMobi or Affinity. Airpush’s HyperTarget has been great, so I’m staying put. I haven’t heard that the others are anywhere near as good.
Thanks, Stephanie… I can endorse MM and Airpush from personal experience. My list begins and ends with those two.
Affinity is awesome from what I keep hearing but my experience is with InMobi and Airpush. Both are excellent, but I would give the edge to Airpush, better overall experience.
you left out Mobcircle Mobile Ad Network (http://www.mobcircle.com)!
My experience in using ad networks has been really bad until I discovered adtomatik. The best ecpm and the highest fill rate!!! | 2019-04-20T14:55:39 | https://streetfightmag.com/2013/06/25/6-ad-networks-with-targeting-capabilities/?doing_wp_cron=1555772134.6819798946380615234375 |

I recently bought this charming handmade mug at local tea merchant The Naked Leaf, because who can resist drinking fancy licorice tea out of crockery decorated with adorable baby Cthulhus?
Well, not me, that's for certain. Even though I truly did LOL at the sight of a Sheela na gig-encrusted tea cup (seriously, WTH?), an even bigger laugh came when the store owner told me about an earlier customer who had been utterly entranced by the mug adorned with squee-inducing "baby squids".
Not something I'm likely to put in my mouth, but a truly genius photo nonetheless.
Adorable little cookies, waiting for you!
I just got back from the booze store around the corner and saw the black and the white ones (which are about $65 CDN). Should I? I should. Shouldn't I?

Yesterday we did our annual trek down to 17th Ave to see the Halloween window displays (all two of them) and then of course we needed refreshment. And what is more refreshing than a hot dog smothered in peanut butter and jelly, with Captain Crunch cereal sprinkled on top, and a delicious cold Heineken to wash it all down? Not much, I can tell you. | 2019-04-18T10:28:21 | https://7deadlysinners.typepad.com/sinners/food_and_drink/ |

This time last year, Jose Benavidez Jr. was on the mend with hopes that he’d one day get back into the boxing ring. Doctors told him that it wouldn’t be possible after he absorbed a gunshot wound to his leg. But the undefeated fighter, who seemed primed to be a force in boxing, refused to take no for an answer.
It took him over a year, but Benavidez made his return in February with an 8th-round TKO of Matthew Strode. With some of the rust off, Benavidez (26-0, 17 knockouts) will look to put together a spectacular performance this weekend at the MGM Grand Garden Arena against fellow unbeaten fighter Frank Rojas (22-0, 21 KOs) and put himself in position to face the winner of the main event between Terence Crawford and Jeff Horn.
It’s a fight that Benavidez says that he’s been after for quite some time. He admits that he’s not necessarily looking past Rojas, but he’s knows exactly what he’s gunning for. Determined to make the Benavidez family name the most powerful in boxing with younger brother David holding the WBC super middleweight title, Jose knows that he has to take down the best that boxing has to offer. And that is Terence Crawford.
The two have a history that dates back about three years. According to Benavidez, Crawford has been offered a fight with him twice and, for reasons unknown, turned down both opportunities.
There appears to be a collision course set for the two fighters as long as they both win on Saturday. Crawford is headlining the ESPN+ card and has the opportunity to snare Horn’s WBO welterweight title. Although “Bud” is recognized as one of, if not the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, being under Bob Arum’s promotional umbrella limits his opportunities to face fellow titleholders and big names of the crowded welterweight division. They include Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia and Errol Spence Jr. With few places to turn, it’s likely that Benavidez could be next to get the call.
It would be satisfying for a man who was shot in the leg by an unknown assailant while walking in Phoenix. Benavidez wasn’t supposed to be in the boxing ring, much less a fight or so away from facing one of boxing’s best. But his determination to compete could not be denied. His time on the shelf gave him a chance to reflect and mature. With a clear head and the motivation of his brother’s impressive run, Benavidez doesn’t see much standing in the way of becoming the best welterweight in the world. But first he has to get past the relatively unknown Rojas.
Incensed by a weigh-in altercation with Crawford back in February, Benavidez is using it as motivation heading into Saturday’s fight. The pair jawed at one another while in Corpus Christi, Texas, for a Top Rank card that signaled the then-25-year-old Benavidez’s return to a boxing ring. Benavidez accused Crawford of ducking him and Crawford suggested that they step outside and handle it. But Benavidez balked at the idea of fighting anywhere but inside of a boxing ring.
With the injury behind him and a date with boxing’s best in front of him, Jose Benavidez Jr. will have to live in the present on Saturday and handle his business against Rojas. Only then can he truly start thinking about Crawford. He certainly won’t be favored in that fight, but that’s just the way he likes it. | 2019-04-23T07:54:16 | https://www.ringtv.com/537299-jose-benavidez-aiming-to-ko-rojas-on-saturday-then-target-terence-crawford/ |
In anticipation of my upcoming trip to Ottawa next weekend I have started to do some research and contacted Ottawa Tourism.Ottawa,as Canada’s capital,is one of Canada’s most popular travel destinations and it has a great variety destinations,activities and events to offer.
1.Please provide us with some general information about Ottawa.How large is the city,where is it located,what is the weather like?
Ottawa is the capital of Canada,and its fourth largest city.With the neighbouring city of Gatineau in the province of Quebec,the region has about 1.2 million people.Ottawa is located in eastern Ontario,about four hours’ drive northeast of Toronto; two hours west of Montreal; and one hour north of the border with the state of New York.
Ottawa enjoys four distinct seasons,with warmest temperatures and sometimes high humidity in July and August; a temperate fall with gorgeous fall colours; a cold and snowy winter; and a wet spring.
2.How can one get to Ottawa and what is the best way of getting around in Ottawa?
Ottawa is accessible with direct flights from major centres in Canada and several U.S.cities including New York,Washington,Chicago,Philadelphia,Detroit,Atlanta and more.Ottawa is a major stop along the Windsor-Quebec City corridor of VIA Rail and bus service also links the city with other Canadian cities.
By car,major thoroughfares include Highway 416 that links Ottawa with Highway 401.Highway 417 runs through the city,while Autoroutes 5,50 and 148 are the major highways on the Quebec side of the river.
3.Ottawa is Canada’s capital and has played a significant role in the history of this country.Please tell us more about that and the Canadian Heritage Experiences offered in Ottawa.
The story of Ottawa begins with the building of the Rideau Canal between 1826 and 1832 by Lt.Col.John By of the Royal Engineers and thousands of mostly Irish labourers.The Canal stretches 202 km (126 miles) through eastern Ontario to the St.Lawrence River and was built to ensure a supply line in case of American attack (which never came).The Canal was never used for a military purpose and its 49 locks are still operated in the same way as when they were built.In fact,the Rideau Canal is Canada’s nominee to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site,which is expected in 2007,the 175th anniversary of its construction.
Queen Victoria decreed in 1857 that Ottawa would be the capital of the country that became Canada.The majestic Parliament Buildings were constructed shortly thereafter and remain a “must-see” attraction in the capital.As the capital,Ottawa is also home to 24 Sussex Drive (the prime minister’s residence and not open to the public); Rideau Hall (home of the Governor General,with guided tours of residence and gardens available); and dozens of high commissions and embassies from governments around the world.
Don’t miss Laurier House,home to both Sir Wilfrid Laurier and WIlliam Lyon Mackenzie King,two former prime ministers,or the Mackenzie King Estate,King’s summer home in Gatineau Park.
4.Please tell us about some of the major attractions,museums and galleries in the Ottawa area.
The latest addition to the national museum scene is the impressive Canadian War Musuem,which opened in May 2005 in a stunning location next to the Ottawa River.Canada’s most-visited museum is Gatineau’s Canadian Museum of Civilization.The National Gallery of Canada offers the largest collection of Canadian art,along with European and American masters.Other cultural facilities include the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography; the Canada Aviation Museum;the Canada Science and Technology Museum; the Canada Agriculture Museum; the Royal Canadian Mint; the Currency Museum of the Bank of Canada; and the Canadian Museum of Nature,currently in the midst of a massive renovation project,to be completed in 2009.
Other museums include the Bytown Museum,which tells the history of Ottawa’s early days,including the building of the Rideau Canal;the Billings Estate Museum that traces the history of a prominent local family; and the funky Diefenbunker,Canada’s Cold War Museum,a four-storey underground bunker that was constructed between 1959 and 1961 as the location to which the Canadian political and military elite would ride out the effects of a nuclear attack.
5.Our readers would like to find out about the festivals and special events in Ottawa.
The festival scene in Ottawa is a robust,year-round affair.The year kicks off with Winterlude,a huge winter festival held over the first three weekends in February.In March,the Irish community celebrates Irish week,and in March and April,the maple syrup season spawns a number of delicious festivals and events celebrating this tasty treat.
May belongs to the Canadian Tulip Festival–three weeks of celebration of Ottawa’s favourite flower.During World War II,the Dutch royal family took refuge in Ottawa and Princess Margriet was born here,in a hospital room designated Dutch soil for the event.Canadians played a huge role in liberating the Netherlands and when the royal family returned home after the war,as a gesture of friendship,respect and appreciation,they sent thousands of tulip bulbs.The bulbs have followed every year since and now 3,000,000 tulips bloom in Canada’s Capital Region.
Late May brings Canada’s largest marathon as part of the Ottawa Race Weekend.Over the summer months,festivals abound: Doors Open Ottawa showcase heritage buildings; Italian Week; the Ottawa Fringe Festival; the TD Canada Trust Ottawa International Jazz Festival;the Nortel Ottawa Dragon Boat Race Festival; Cisco Systems Ottawa Bluesfest (Canada’s largest); the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival (the world’s largest); the Sound of Light fireworks festival;Ottawa Busker Festival; Ottawa GreekFest; CKCU Ottawa Folk Festival;the Central Canada Exhibition; and Pride Week.
On Parliament Hill,two free activities occur daily in the summer:the 10:00 a.m.Changing the Guard ceremony and the evening Sound and Light Show.
In the fall,the Gatineau Hot Air Balloon Festival colours the skies; while the La Vendemmia Harvest Festival tempts visitors’ palates.The Ottawa International Animation Festival showcases artists from around the world while the Ottawa International Writers Festival provides a forum for authors’ lively debates.Fall Rhapsody celebrates the splendid autumn colours.

Have some leaders ready to act as referees to help settle disputes in case students argue over whatever chaotic course of events may unfold.
Start each student off on the the far end of the room against the wall.
Give each student a sweet potato and a plastic spoon. Their job is to roll the sweet potato along the ground using the spoon in their mouth.
The first person to cross the finish line (you can put a piece of painters tape down towards the other end of the room) wins.
Enjoy the traffic jams that ensure as wobbly yams go in inconvenient directions and students get in the way of one another.
Have students push with their nose instead of with spoons in their mouths.
Instead of a finish line consider setting up three goals on the other side of the room. The first person to get their potato in a goal wins. Each goal can have one winner only. This way there will be three winners and students will have to strategically decide which goal to go after. | 2019-04-21T14:15:32 | https://www.youthgroupcollective.com/mixers/yamjam |

Unseeded Bemidji, led by junior Silas Hess who scored his 20th goal of the season and junior Aidan Helwig who had two goals, defeated No. 2 seed Holy Angels 3-1 on Tuesday to advance to the Class 1A boys' soccer championship game.
Hess broke a 0-0 deadlock with a goal in the 44th minute in the semifinals at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"It really lightened it up a little bit for us," Hess said. "We could relax and just realize that we were in this game and we were here to win it."
Hess also broke up a Stars' threat off a corner kick near the Lumberjacks goal in the 66th minute.
Holy Angels (19-1-1) and Bemidji (19-2-1) played a defensive battle in the first half, and both teams made their share of defensive stops near their respective goals throughout. The Lumberjacks broke through twice to get shots on goal in the first half, but Stars sophomore goalkeeper Peter Forseth stopped them both times.
After Hess's goal, Bemidji struck again in the 50th minute as Helwig, a midfielder, kicked a loose ball past Forseth for a 2-0 lead. It marked the first time Holy Angels had allowed two goals this season.
Holy Angels applied pressure and it paid off when junior defender Conor O'Rourke scored on a header in the 65th minute. The Stars, who had no shots on goal in the first half, took more control of the play in the second half, when they had four shots on goal.
But Helwig gave the Lumberjacks a two-goal lead again at 3-1 with his second goal in the 73rd minute.
Blake 3, Austin 1: Goals from three players for the Bears was not a surprising stat, considering every player on Blake's roster has scored a goal this season.
That's not the only strength of the Bears, however.
"One of the strengths of our team that gets overlooked is our defense, because we score a lot of goals," Blake coach Tamba Johnson said. "Defensively, we don't really give up a lot of good, clean chances."
Blake (18-1-2), the No. 1 seed, led 2-0 at halftime on goals from senior Luke Melin and junior Will Mortenson. Senior Jake Lundberg drove down and passed the ball to Mortenson, who found an opening.
"Jake did all the work on that one," said Mortenson, whose second goal of the tournament came with 7 minutes, 7 seconds left in the first half.
The Packers (16-3-0), the No. 4 seed, made it 2-1 about three minutes into the second half on a goal from sophomore Henry Tolbert. But Blake sophomore Keegan James got the two-goal lead back with a penalty kick in the 51st minute.
"Once we were down by two that second time, we knew that we needed to get some more guys up top," Austin coach Jens Levisen said.
"We couldn't quite get that next one to fall."
In their fifth state tournament appearance, the Bears will try for their first state title since they won in 2008.
Blake defeated last year's Class 1A champion, Totino-Grace, in the Section 5 final. | 2019-04-21T03:11:13 | http://www.startribune.com/unseeded-bemidji-to-play-no-1-blake-in-class-1a-boys-soccer-title-match/499101001/ |
In November of 2018, the Santa Monica mountains were ablaze. The Woolsey Fire, which began above the Simi Valley and blazed south across Southern California’s canyons and chaparral, moved ever closer to a 19th-century frontier town nestled in the hills. People watched anxiously from a safe distance, but in the end, there was no stopping the destructive wildfire, and the town burned. It was like something out of a movie.
In fact, it was exactly like something out of a movie. The “town” was actually a film set for Westerns, featured in shows like Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Westworld. That Western Town, as it was called, was part of the larger Paramount Ranch, a site on the National Register of Historic Places where filmmakers had made hundreds of movies since the 1920s. The fire wasn’t staged, though, and many of the set buildings were lost—for now.
The Western Town at Paramount Ranch as it appeared in 2017, before the Woolsey Fire burned it down.
Paramount Ranch got its name in 1927, when Paramount Studios purchased the plot to use as a movie ranch. They began building sets on the land that year, connected by roads and dotted with permanent buildings.
During this era of filmmaking, studios like Paramount could make lots of movies very quickly. “At that time, the entire movie industry was vertically and horizontally integrated. Directors and actors worked for the studios; the studios owned the theater outlets. They were turning out a lot of stuff,” Szymanski says. Owning a ranch like this one helped make the process even more efficient—Universal, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, and MGM all had their own claims to land in the largely undeveloped hills around turn-of-the-century Los Angeles.
A crew prepares to film at one of the Western Town's sets.
Paramount’s space hosted large outdoor sets and a range of undeveloped land that was used for location filming; between 1927 and 1943, the studio made 162 movies there. The wide horizons and scrubby plant life of the Ranch’s countryside was used as a stand-in for the frontier—and with that many movies shaping the public imagination, that landscape became the common idea of the West.
In the '40s, the traditional studio system was broken up through antitrust litigation, upending the Hollywood status quo. Under pressure even before the Supreme Court stepped in, Paramount sold the Ranch in 1943, although they kept filming at the location for at least a decade. But new technology and the fall of the studio giants meant the industry had changed, and there was a new player on the field: television.
The Ranch—and specifically the Western Town—played a key role in the medium’s development. After Paramount sold the land, it passed through the hands of multiple different owners. One sold the core of the ranch to William B. Hertz, a dentist, who opened the property up for recreation. He also began to build and advertise the Western Town. Television producers erected new Western-looking buildings and left them standing after filming ended, adding to the town’s size piece by piece.
Urban development began to threaten the scenic vistas at Paramount Ranch, and in 1980, the NPS stepped in. It purchased the core of the ranch to ensure that the open landscape would be preserved and added it to the newly-formed Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The park service, working with Hertz’s family, was instrumental in refurbishing the Western Town and attracting new Westerns, like CBS’s ‘90s series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. At the same time, public use of the land was encouraged, and it began attracting equestrians and hikers, who were free to wander among the buildings and watch film crews (like Dr. Quinn’s) at work.
The chapel in the Western Town during the Woolsey Fire. The chapel was one of a few structures to survive the burn.
And the new Western Town won’t be a faithful re-creation of those burned buildings: It will be a new, updated movie set that captures the same Western feel. “We want to rebuild something consistent with the cultural landscape at Paramount. How we put those pieces together is the fun part,” he says. The Park Service is working with film industry professionals to build an even better Western Town—one with walls that can move or be pulled away so a camera can shoot a building’s interior, better fire resistance, and improved amenities for the film crews, tourists, and gatherings that use the space (for example, the Topanga Banjo Fiddle Contest, which it has hosted for decades). | 2019-04-19T22:22:04 | https://savingplaces.org/stories/this-western-film-set-will-soon-ride-again |
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University Bloomington Provost and Executive Vice President Lauren Robel has announced that Mohammad R. Torabi has been appointed dean of the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington.
The appointment of Torabi, Chancellor's Professor and interim dean of the school, became effective Jan. 1, subject to the approval of the IU Board of Trustees at its February meeting.
"The entire campus is grateful to Dean Torabi for his selfless and dedicated service as interim dean, and for the vision and judgment he has demonstrated as the school has transitioned to its new mission," Robel said. "Enormous opportunities exist for the School of Public Health-Bloomington, especially as we align its new programs with the global initiatives on campus. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Dean Torabi in achieving a bright future for this new and promising school."
Torabi served as interim dean as the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation transitioned into one of Indiana University's two new schools of public health, with the formal naming ceremony for the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington taking place in September 2012. Before that, Torabi, a noted health behavior, education and public health expert, chaired the Department of Applied Health Science.
"Given his considerable experience as chair of the Department of Applied Health Science, which houses the state's oldest Master of Public Health program, and his administrative oversight as interim dean during the transition of the School of HPER to a school of public health, Mo Torabi in my belief is an excellent choice to be the founding dean of the IU School of Public Health-Bloomington," said Edwin Marshall, IU vice president for diversity, equity and multicultural affairs and chair of the IU Public Health Coordinating Council. "In Dean Torabi we have a knowledgeable and effective leader who will guide the school forward toward full accreditation and its continued evolution as a state, national and world leader in addressing the complex public health challenges of today and tomorrow."
The IU Public Health Initiative, launched in 2009 to address pressing public health needs across Indiana, called for establishing the state's only schools of public health, one at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and the other on the Bloomington campus.
Torabi said the transition to a school of public health marks a defining moment in the 66-year history of his school, the third largest on campus, and provides untold opportunities for addressing the public health needs of Hoosiers, particularly those living in rural communities.
"I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Provost Robel for her unwavering support of our School of Public Health-Bloomington, and President McRobbie, whose steadfast and visionary leadership has continued to inspire us all. Likewise, I would like to thank all members of the search committee for their service to our school," Torabi said. "It is an honor and privilege for me to assume this leadership position for our highly respected school.
"While much has been accomplished at the School of Public Health-Bloomington, much remains to be done. I'm confident that our world-renowned faculty, dedicated staff and loyal alums will continue working toward expansion of our mission of preventing disease, promoting health and quality of life, and health care cost containment for the citizens of Indiana and global community. This can be achieved through outstanding research, teaching and public health community engagement."
Sarita Soni, vice provost for research at IU Bloomington, chaired the search and screen committee for the internal search.
"Under Sarita Soni's deft leadership, the search committee conducted a thorough internal search for the best candidate for the deanship," Robel said. "I am very grateful to Vice Provost Soni and to all of the members of the committee for their dedication and service."
Torabi's research focus is in the area of measurement and evaluation of school and public health education programs and factors associated with health behavior. His research extends into health promotion and key factors related to individuals' decisions in the prevention of drug abuse, cancer and HIV/AIDS infection.
He has received numerous honors for his research and teaching, both from professional associations and Indiana University. Torabi is the former president and a fellow of the American Academy of Health Behavior, which is a premier academy dedicated to advancing research in this field. He is a fellow and charter member of the North American Society of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, Sport, and Dance Professionals; charter fellow of the American Association of Health Education; fellow of the American School Health Association; and fellow of the Research Committee of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Dance. | 2019-04-24T17:46:44 | http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news-archive/23655.html |

Ooh I want that...I love cyberpunk...so much that I have written a few cyberpunk novels myself.
I'm very curious about this movie, but it seems to have little plot, according to the critics.
It is definitely longer on atmosphere than plot; though I expect the same could be said of most of the cinema of the 1940s.
Minor peeve: why use a ten-dollar word like "oneiric" in the article when the rest of it was written in bland, indistiguishable prose? "Dreamlike" would have worked just as well, and wouldn't have looked so pretentious. | 2019-04-24T09:55:01 | http://www.ghostofaflea.com/archives/009021.html |

Can I get Vintage Glasses with Prescription Lenses?
If like me, you wear glasses, they're really your ultimate accessory. They sit on your face (that's what she said!) all day, you can't ignore them, so why not love them!?
Yesterday I added two new frames to my collection, I've had them for quite a while, but hadn't got my prescription lenses put into them.
I use, and recommend ineedspex to post my vintage frames off to (they do gift me my lenses, but I wouldn't recommend them unless they did a great job). They have done all of these glasses bar one. They have also done a lot of my friends/clients glasses. Specsavers sometimes offer the service, but are often very nervous about vintage frames, as they are prone to breaking (the plastic becomes very brittle with age). Ineedspex are cheaper too!
The black pair are a party pair - the diamontes are hard to photograph!
I recently managed to part with one pair, a pretty amazing clear pink catsye frame, but I still have rather a collection. But why not? I wear glasses all of the time - they're the only accessory I wear over and over, day on day. I can't imagine putting something on my face that I don't enjoy.
I'm always surprised when people who need to wear glasses settle for ones they don't like, or don't want to spend any money on them. Oddly, considering I love them so much, all of my vintage frames are cheaper than buying new ones from the optician, even with the cost of lenses.
I sometimes wonder if I'd take laser eye surgery if it were ever offered to me, but honestly, the thought of not wearing my glasses makes me sad. They make me feel dressed up even when I'm not! They're also great for distracting from wrinkles! Similar to the reason I wear a fringe - they're better than botox! | 2019-04-25T15:44:50 | http://www.rockalily.com/blog/can-i-get-vintage-glasses-with-prescription-lenses.html |

I've had the chance to spend time with Shakeeb Rahman at Kscope15 and talk about some of the new APEX UI features.
From the beginning I thought Theme Roller was going to be a gimmick... something only usable through the Universal Theme boundaries.
Turns out I was wrong, Theme Roller is 100% customizable.
In the past months, I've been putting a fair amount of time in this theme Material APEX (Demo) (Source).
General feedback is positive, but people were struggling with changing the default colors I had chosen (Cyan and Red).
This was where I lost most people and caused the decision not to use the theme.
LESS is a CSS preprocessor that allows CSS enhancements such as variables and nesting.
The LESS file is the brain that controls everything that happens with Theme Roller; starting from groups, variables, selectors and finally CSS styling.
"name" can be a simple String, it will appear in the Theme Roller.
Again, variables are parsed as LESS comment blocks.
In LESS, variables are prefixed with @. You need to define them in the comment block as well as the variable itself.
"var" can be anything you want. You are going to reference this variable later.
"group" needs to match previously defined groups.
Now the variables are ready to be used, you simply need to apply CSS over them.
Now make it your own!
Important notice: if you are planning on using the Universal Theme for your project, this technique is not recommended because you might not be able to benefit from future updates from the APEX team. You've been warned but I still encourage you to customize your styles! | 2019-04-18T22:38:04 | https://vmorneau.me/customizing-theme-roller/ |

We know that buying a home can seem like a daunting experience. But there are some simple things you can do to help avoid some of the potential stress people encounter.
And what better way to learn about buying a new home, than from the people who do it for a living? Since your new home is not like a new car, you can’t just simply test drive it, but you can learn what you really need to know from the pros.
Compromise Your Priorities. When buying a new home, make sure your priorities don’t get lost in all of the new home frills. After all, you can add the luxuries, but can’t make a home fit all of the priorities. Looking for a Rancher in walking/ biking distance of the Charlottesville Downtown Mall, but it’s appliances aren’t all up-to-date and the kitchen needs new countertops? While compromising your priorities, take into account that new appliances and countertops can be updated at a later time.
Dig into Details. Something to scope out is the home’s not-so-obvious maintenance costs. Explore homeowner’s insurance, scope out trees, ask how old the appliances are, and check the sewer line. When moving into a new home, walking into unexpected surprises can be a headache and exploring these aspects can help you budget for future complications.
Focus on Lifestyle. Where do you plan on being in 5 years? Do you want to grow or are you looking to downsize? Millennials, especially, should take into consideration if they plan on having children– look into the schools, pools, and recreation areas. Think about your lifestyle preferences and how they might change in the next few years.
Think About Resale. Do not buy or build something so unique that you cannot resell. With that being said, make sure your new home fits in line with your neighbor’s price range—if you go to resell your home, this can be an uphill battle to maintain your desired price. Also think about what is next to the home—Is there vacant land that could be developed or are there high-traffic businesses? Of course, buying a home isn’t just about resell, but it’s an important factor to consider.
At Strong Team REALTORS, we’ve helped hundreds of people in the Charlottesville area find their perfect home. These tips are just a brief overview of what to look for in the buying process and our team would love to share more tips with you.
If you are interested in speaking with someone about finding your perfect home, let us know. | 2019-04-21T14:14:39 | https://www.strongteamrealtors.com/blog/4-tips-to-help-make-buying-a-home-less-stressful/ |
I'm planning to run an A/B experiment but I'm only interested in targetting people who have come via a search engine, but not PPC (as we run a lot of PPC activity). I can see I can set up an audience that targets those who came via Google for example but not sure how I segment that Google referral traffic from organic serach vs PPC? Any advice would be welcomed.

The mobile food truck industry is nearing its 5th year of monumental growth. Once referred to as roach coaches, mobile food has made a strong comeback to become the fastest growing trend in the restaurant industry. Broadcasting their whereabouts on Twitter and other social media networks has replaced the need of a culinary entrepreneur to maintain a brick and mortar store front. Aside from the assistance of social media, it’s their unique options like; Korean Tacos, shredded BBQ Pork on a Waffle, Creme Brulee, and Kobe Beef Sliders, that has been the key to success for these mobile food businesses.
Klout is a San Francisco based company that provides social media analytics that measures a user’s influence across their social network. The analysis is done on data collected from sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Linked In and measures the size of a person’s network, the content created, and how other people interact with that content. Just as we have the last couple of years Mobile Cuisine has kept an eye on this tracking and investigated the Klout statistics to see which food truck would be the most influential in 2012.
Once again in first place, just as they have the last 2 years, is The Big Gay Ice Cream truck from New York City. Serving soft serve ice cream with a twist, like their ‘Salty Pimp’ which is vanilla ice cream or Dulce de Leche, sea salt, dipped in chocolate.
You may note that just as we found after analyzing thousands of the nation’s trucks through Klout, LA and NYC have once again dominated this list, with a few outside entrants from Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas and Indianapolis.
Please note that Klout updates their scores daily, so these results will change throughout the year. We arrived at our list based on the Klout scores from 11/28/2012. | 2019-04-25T01:56:59 | https://mobile-cuisine.com/contest/top-12-most-influential-food-trucks-2012/ |

Hey bud, how are you? First, let me apologize for the delay. It’s been a crazy month. I was ill for a minute with a nasty cold, then had to move to a new building, went through three bunkies, now here I am again. Whewww….
Christmas I woke up to a hot Arizona day. You wouldn’t even imagine it to be winter given that it was so warm. We always seem to be locked down come the holidays. The prison is always “short staffed” because so many officers call in sick. Unfortunately we had no rec, but were able to make phone calls. Everyone was on the phone on that day. Some guys had visits too. The dinner was a piece of turkey, stuffing, peach cobbler with whipped cream, vegetables and a roll. All in all it was a quiet day.
New Years was a different story. As I’ve mentioned emotions run high around the holidays. Well, for some reason on the day we were all scheduled to receive our commissary items, commissary staff wouldn’t make it down. New Year’s was on a Thursday and commissary people don’t work on Friday. So rumour had it that we all weren’t going to get commissary until the following week on Monday.
Now one thing other than mail that a man locked up looks forward to throughout the week is commissary. Given that the yard was dry with no drugs either just added to the reason for everyone to rally together.
So as dinner happened, everyone refused to lock down. You should have seen it, every officer was in our building with mace in hand. Captains, sergeants, and lieutenants all came to try and deescalate the situation, but no one was having it. We demanded to talk to the warden and only the warden. It was intense. I thought I was about to eat a face full of chemicals and end up in the hole.
He came down, and claimed he didn’t have the authority to override the commissary people because they are a contracted company. He did it anyway because he was about to have a riot occur over store. A security issue trumps everything. So we eventually received our store and Homeland Security went down a couple of colors.
We all ended the year wired on coffee and chocolate, and banged our cell doors like mad as the clock struck 12:00. What a way to end ’08!
The holidays had me swamped. A bunch of birthdays kept me bust sketching portraits of loved ones. I’ll sketch you a picture or portrait one of these days.
I took your advice and picked up a subscription to Writer’s Digest. I really enjoy it. I’m going to try and enter some stories in their competitions and see where it goes.

In using the natural affection of pity for our own children, God revealed His pity toward us. When our children sin, at the first sign of repentance we want to comfort and assure them that they are forgiven. So does God! God feels pity as our Father much more perfectly than we can. “For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you, Says the lord, your Redeemer” (Isa.54:7-10 - See also the passages at the end of this article).
Paul also spoke of the vastness of God’s mercy. As a “blasphemer” “persecutor” and “violent aggressor,” he truly was the “chief of sinners!” He “obtained mercy” “as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life” (1Tim. 1:12-16). Thus Israel’s apostasy and Saul’s laying waste the church reveal that no one can exhaust the mercy of God. His “pity, empathy, and sympathy” are as limitless as “the heavens above the earth” to “those who fear Him!” No matter how evil we become or how far away we stray, God is always willing to build the bridge for us if we seek to return. “The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want ... He restores my soul, ... surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life” (Ps 23:6).
Although God’s mercy is limitless, Jesus worded this passage so we would conclude that the mercy we show others will enhance or decrease the mercy we will obtain from God. This is the first of three times in this sermon that Jesus taught the conditional nature of mercy, forgiveness and judgment. The manner we give them to others will impact what we receive from God.
In our prayers for forgiveness we are told to verbalize this link when we say: “forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” We are never to forget that God will forgive us exactly the same way and to the same degree (as) we forgive others. To remove all doubt, Jesus concluded: “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Later, Jesus gave the parable of the forgiven servant who refused to forgive. “Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, even as I had mercy on you?” Once again Jesus made the application: “So shall My heavenly Father also do to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart” (Mt.6:12-15; 18:23-35).
The more mercy we give the more mercy we will receive! If we measure out harsh judgment, refuse to forgive, and show no mercy to those seeking it, this is how God will measure it back to us when we stand before Him. If we measure out compassion and understanding instead of harsh judgment, showing great mercy and forgiveness to others in their need, then this is how God will deal with us. The passage is an incentive. We are blessed if we show mercy for we will obtain mercy. We are cursed if we do not show mercy for it will decrease God’s mercy.
Conclusion. What an amazing and wonderful opportunity! Just as we can “lay up treasures in heaven” by sacrificing our possessions, we can also store up for ourselves mercy in heaven by being merciful. As a dimmer switch controls the brightness of a bulb, our mercy controls the power of God’s mercy toward us. “With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; 26 With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.” (Ps. 18:25-27). | 2019-04-22T05:03:26 | http://www.biblequestions.org/bqar702.html |

Spain is no longer a budget destination, even less so in the expensive cities of Barcelona, San Sebastián, and Madrid. However, prices still compare slightly favorably with those elsewhere in Europe.
Your bank will probably charge a fee for using ATMs abroad; the foreign bank you use may also charge a fee. Nevertheless, you'll usually get a better rate of exchange at an ATM than you will at a currency-exchange office or even when changing money in a bank, and extracting funds as you need them is a safer option than carrying around a large amount of cash.
PINs with more than four digits are not recognized at ATMs in Spain. If yours has five or more, remember to change it before you leave.
You'll find ATMs in every major city in Spain, as well as in most smaller towns. ATMs will be part of the Cirrus and/or Plus networks and will allow you to withdraw euros with your credit or debit card, provided you have a valid PIN.
Spanish banks tend to maintain an astonishing number of branch offices, especially in the cities and major tourist destinations, and the majority have an ATM.
It's a good idea to inform your credit-card company before you travel, especially if you're going abroad and don't travel internationally very often. Otherwise, it might put a hold on your card owing to unusual activity—not a good thing halfway through your trip. Record all your credit-card numbers—as well as the phone numbers to call if your cards are lost or stolen—in a safe place, so you're prepared should something go wrong. Both MasterCard and Visa have general numbers you can call (collect if you're abroad) if your card is lost, but you're better off calling the number of your issuing bank, since MasterCard and Visa usually just transfer you to your bank; your bank's number is usually printed on your card.
Before you charge something, ask the merchant whether he or she plans to do a dynamic currency conversion (DCC). In such a transaction the shop, restaurant, or hotel (not Visa or MasterCard) converts the currency and charges you in dollars. In most cases you'll pay the merchant a 3% fee for this service in addition to any credit-card company and issuing-bank foreign-transaction surcharges.
DCC programs are becoming increasingly widespread. Merchants who participate in them are supposed to ask whether you want to be charged in dollars or the local currency, but they don't always. And even if they do offer you a choice, they may well avoid mentioning the surcharges. The good news is that you do have a choice. And if this practice really gets your goat, you can avoid it entirely thanks to American Express; with theircards, DCC simply isn't an option.
Use these toll-free numbers in Spain.
Since 2002, Spain has used the European monetary unit, the euro (€). Euro bills come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500; coins are worth 1 cent of a euro, 2 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 euro, and 2 euros. Forgery is quite commonplace in parts of Spain, especially with 50-euro notes. You can generally tell a forgery by the feel of the paper: counterfeits tend to be smoother than the legal notes, and the metallic line down the middle is darker than those in real bills. Local merchants (even those with counterfeit-spotting equipment) may refuse to accept €200 and €500 bills.
At this writing the dollar was very strong against the euro and other currencies: it stands at €0.87 to the U.S. dollar. | 2019-04-22T08:16:10 | https://dreamtande.com/travel-tip/spain/money-66 |

He’s already placed a gag order on the negotiations between Georgia and Florida to settle the long-running legal feud, citing a need to shield the proceedings from a “relentless and ruthless” media.
And now the arbitrator is lashing out at a recent story that detailed how he’s been paid more than $160,000 so far to oversee the case.
Georgia can expect to shell out much more for Lancaster’s services. A trial is scheduled to begin October 31 in the presiding judge’s home state of Maine.

It would be hard to imagine that anyone who plays online that has not heard about “Full Rush” poker being played at FullTiltPoker.Com, an affiliate site of mine.
The concept is very simple. You can “quick fold” any hand when you are not the big blind and be moved to another table and get dealt a fresh hand. If you are the big blind, you can “quick fold” as soon as you are raised. You can also advance click a fold option selection, which is helpful if you are playing multiple tables.
The basic idea of the quick fold is to allow you to see more playable hands while folding away the junk … unless of course you crave the action and like playing position poker against the unsuspecting.
There are opportunities to steal blinds if you are the first raiser in the pot, say from middle position. The blinds may defend button and cut-off raises so you cannot always count on the blinds folding to a pre-flop raise.
There are opportunities to defend blinds with air .. if you re-raise instead of flat calling and then make a pot size bet, the player trying to steal the blinds from the button or cut-off position will usually fold, although not always.
Play the Full Rush poker tables at FTP is a way you build your bankroll and experience action the likes of which you have not seen before. It is also a easy way to lose your bankroll when you make bad decisions. You are also going to run into maniacs and you will have worse hands hold up and beat your good hands.
Be prepared for a roller coaster ride as you end up having to play all styles of players and if you are unable to adapt, you will be losing out on a chance to chip up.
Where do I stand today … I am down about $25, but am now getting some of that back as I have adapted to the many styles of play needed to master these tables. A word of advice: If you lose more than two buy-ins, give it up for a while; if you are winning, keep playing until you start to lose your edge. Because of the increased number of hands you play, you will find that you might to lose your ability to concentrate after a couple thousand hands and that your decisions are not the best. So keep that in mind.
If you have not tried Full Rush poker tables and are a FTP member, give it a try. If you are not an FTP member, click on one of the FullTiltPoker.Com links and join me at the tables. Look for StevieTrips. But you might have to look quickly as I jump from table to table.
Do you play online poker? Have you played at FullTiltPoker.Com? Have you tried playing at the “Full Rush” table? What were your results?
A “Full Rush” table tip! If you want to see how hands play out at the table you are currently on, click the “Sit out” option before folding. This way, you will be able to see the action at the table. This is helpful when you want to find out what someone was playing when they went all-in and were called. I once saw an 83 suited go all in against a K8 suited. A three hit the board and the “83” won. These players wagered over $20 each on what was a coin flip. | 2019-04-19T16:17:24 | https://myownpokerblog.wordpress.com/2010/02/ |
Now anyone who knows me will tell you that I like to spend money on non-essential items. They will insist upon referring to these items as toys when the correct nomenclature is tools.
This alone demonstrates their shallow depth of understanding my trade.
Anyway, recently I have discovered this product. A smartpen that electronically stores not only everything written but also records what was said at that time (and links the written text with the recorded voice). It also has a range of other features but those the the main ones.
There are a range of notebooks available including the ever-necessary reporter-style that any half decent PI carries at all times.
And you can also print out your own dot paper if necessary.
I'm thinking this may very well be the way of the future, particularly when taking statements as it captures both the written and verbal, not to mentions links them together for easy review later.
The only downside is the price. While only US$129.00 in America, the same product sells for the equivalent of US$231.00 here. Not a bad markup, I guess, but it does make the expense a bit more difficult to justify.
Well, who really needs justifications, right? I mean, I can always find some bill not to bother paying this month.
So, have any of my trusty readers have any experience with this product and either good or bad things to say about it? I would be interested in hearing your stories.
I see another retailer is advertising the 4GB model for slightly more, but closer to the US price.
Pity they are not selling the notebooks which is, in my opinion, a bit short-sighted of them. The pen's not of much use without one.
You can print out the paper yourself if you have a colour printer, it used IR dots on the paper to work out where it has been.
Yeah, although I'd prefer the reporter-style notebooks but with the loose sheets I can create witness statement forms or surveillance logs etc.
The first retailer sells the full range of notebooks, so that shouldn't be a problem.
It must have been Fate at work.
I went for a wander and happened to be in a store that happened to just have received a shipment.
I couldn't help myself and am now the proud owner of a Livescribe Echo 4GB.
I'll put it to the test and post a review in a week or so. | 2019-04-24T20:09:18 | http://www.notstalking.com/2010/10/all-better-to-fight-crime-must-have.html |

Police detain at least 18 people, including a university head, over alleged coup plot.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the deputy chairman of the secular CHP opposition, said "This is an operation against the intellectuals of this country."
Hayati Yazici, the country's deputy prime minister, said nobody was above the law in Turkey.
He said: "The judicial bodies are authorised to deal with those who commit crimes. Turkey is on the right track."
Among those detained was Tijen Mergen, an employee of a unit of media group Dogan Yayin, the owner of Hurriyet, Turkey's top-selling daily newspaper.
Dogan Yayin has been embroiled in a legal battle with the government since it was fined $500m this year for alleged tax violations.
The fine came after months of public mud-slinging between Dogan newspapers and the government, prompting some, including the US state department, to question the level of press freedom in the European Union candidate country.
Government critics see the investigation into Ergenekon as revenge for a failed 2008 lawsuit to ban the AK Party on the grounds of anti-secular activities.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's prime minister and leader of the AK Party, denies the case is politically motivated.
Monday's arrests included the detention of Mehmet Haberal, the head of Baskent University in Ankara, Turkey's capital, and three former college heads in the Black Sea city of Samsun, in the eastern city of Malatya and in Bursa, west of Istanbul.
Universities have been bastions of the secularist elite, alongside the judiciary and the military, who resent the rise to power of the AK Party which has its roots in political Islam.
The group organised mass street protests in 2007 against the AK Party government's attempt to lift a veto on the wearing of Muslim headscarves in universities.
Ergenekon came to light more than a year ago when explosives were discovered in a police raid on a house in Istanbul.
The military, which is widely respected in Turkey, has unseated four elected governments either in outright coups or by strong political pressure.
It has denied any links to Ergenekon. | 2019-04-22T14:12:14 | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2009/04/2009413155229692588.html |

Accessing the Internet leaves a wide variety of information on a computer including Web sites, contents viewed, and newsgroups accessed.
For instance, some Windows systems maintain a record of accounts that are used to connect to the Internet.
When an individual first views a Web page, the browser caches the page and associated elements such as images on disk—the creation and modification times are the same time as the page was viewed.
When the same site is accessed in the future, the cached file is accessed.
The number of times that a given page was visited is recorded in some Web browser history databases.
Look for all information related to downloaded files (e.g., in Registry, on external media, etc.) to get a better sense of how they were placed on the computer and what was done with them afterward.
Any other activities that were going on at the time the files were being placed on the computer and viewed/manipulated may give a clue as to who was performing the actions.
Internet Explorer maintains similar information in files named “index.dat.” These databases can contain a wealth of information including sites accessed and search engine details. Some open source utilities have been developed to extract information from “index.dat” files and other files.
In addition to storing all of the URLs that have been accessed, Web browsers with Usenet readers keep a record of which Usenet newsgroups have been accessed.
For instance, Netscape’s newsreader stored information in a file with a “.rc” extension.
MS Internet News stores quite a bit of information about newsgroup activities in the News folder.
You will find this News folder where you installed MS Internet News (the default folder is C:/Program Files/Internet Mail and News/user/).
E-mail clients often contain messages that have been sent from and received at a given computer.
While Netscape and Eudora store e-mail in plain text files, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, IBM Lotus Notes, Novell GroupWise, and America Online (AOL) use proprietary formats that require special tools to read.
Even when e-mail is stored in a non-proprietary format, it is necessary to decode MIME-encoded message attachments.
Yahoo Pager, AOL IM, and other Instant Messenger programs do not retain archives of messages by default but may be configured to log chat sessions.
Peer-to-peer file sharing programs may retain a list of hosts that were contacted or files that have been accessed but give very limited information besides this.
IRC and other online chat clients may retain more logs but only if the user saves them.
Therefore, remnants of these more transient Internet activities are more likely to be found in a swap space and other areas of the hard disk.
Therefore, the best chance of obtaining information relating to these applications is to search portions of the hard drive where data may have been stored temporarily or to monitor network traffic from the individual’s machine while these programs are in use.
An important component of any forensic examination is identifying any remote locations where digital evidence may be found.
A victim might maintain a Web site or an offender may transfer incriminating data to another computer on the Internet or a home or corporate network.
One of the most common remote storage locations is an individual’s Internet Service Provider (ISP).
In addition to storing e-mail, some ISPs give their customers storage space for Web pages and other data.
Files can be transferred to these remote systems using programs such as FTP, Secure CRT, and Secure Shell (SSH).
So, in addition to looking for information about Internet accounts in the registry as mentioned earlier, search for traces of file transfer applications. | 2019-04-19T01:04:06 | http://codes.pratikkataria.com/internet-traces/ |
The Church of England’s governing body, General Synod, voted overwhelmingly on Sunday to divest by 2023 from oil and gas companies not on track to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global average temperature rise to well below 2°C.
13 Anglican bishops and 78 clergy have signed a letter calling on the Church of England’s General Synod to support an amendment on fossil fuel divestment set to be tabled by the Diocese of Oxford today during a debate on the Church’s approach to tackling climate change.
In a significant step forward for the divestment movement, New York City announced last week that it will divest its city pension funds from the fossil fuel industry.
Two years ago, 195 countries signed the historic Paris Agreement, committing to keep average global temperature rises ‘well below 2 degrees Celsius’, compared with pre-industrial levels. We know that in order to meet these targets, there must be a rapid transition from fossil fuels to clean alternatives, including renewable energy.

This was coconut country, and it was pretty. On either side of the road, tall slender trees launched into the sky and exploded into bursts of bright green foliage. Dry and crunchy palm fronds were littered all along the ground, dessicating in the midday sun.
Early in the morning we crossed the leafy, jungle border at Thornwood/Milange into Mozambique. Stamping out of Malawi took mere moments, but entering Mozambique was a much more thorough process. | 2019-04-25T03:54:31 | https://stickymangorice.com/category/africa/mozambique/ |

Following these suggestions will optimize your health potential! Healthy living should be a family goal.
Remove all unnatural sources of sugar from your life. (Table sugar, brown sugar, HFCS, corn syrup, confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, etc…) Sugar acts as a poison that causes inflammation to our arteries and veins leading to heart disease, atherosclerosis and of course diabetes. Sugar in natural live foods does not have this effect.
Remove all refined and processed foods from your life. (most boxed or canned flour based products) Breads, pastas and cereals should be organic whole grain selections. Refined flours (those that say enriched, bleached, flour, wheat flour, bromated, multigrain and unbleached are refined) have the same effect on the body that added sugars do because they are simple carbohydrates and are absorbed into the body as blood sugar very quickly leading to the same disease potential and weight gain. These types of grains can get you into a vicious cycle of wanting to eat more and more of them. It becomes a carbohydrate addiction that can be hard to break!
Replace frying with sauteing, baking, grilling or broiling. Use olive oil or coconut oil.
Eat foods as close to nature in their raw state as possible (fresh or frozen). If you must eat canned vegetables please rinse well.
Eat a diet rich in variety. Include as many colors of vegetables (70% of your diet should be vegetables and fruits) fruits and grains, nuts and seeds every day. Limit nuts and seeds to 1 to 2 oz. per day. Aim for 6 to 9 servings of vegetables per day and 3 servings of fruits per day.
Limit saturated fats and totally eliminate trans fats from your diet. Include polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats which are very healthy for you in moderation. Olive oil is a monounsaturated oil and most nuts contain a good source of monounsaturated oils. The Omega 3 Polyunsaturated oils come from walnuts, chia seed, flax seed and cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, trout, halibut and cod. Chia seed and ground flax seed is the best sources of vegetative Omega 3 Fatty Acids however you also get them from other vegetables and fruits like winter squash, broccoli and strawberries. Flax seed also provides lignans which may help prevent certain types of cancers.
Eliminate or reduce the intake of animal proteins. According to the China Study (the longest running nutritional health study every conducted) the intake of animal protein that exceeds more than 10% of our daily protein intake leads to the potential activation of cancer causing genes. In addition the over consumption of animal foods can cause obesity, heart disease and diabetes in some individuals. Interestingly the consumption of plant proteins had no negative effect on genetic expression.
Eliminate dairy products (cheese, milk and creams) from your daily diet. Replace with Almond milk or Rice milk. I do not consume dairy products and do not recommend them. There are healthy dairy alternatives to choose from.
Get plenty of water every day, 80 ounces over 24 hours. Hydration is very important to health and assist in the removal of toxins and from the body. It is required in every metabolic activity. If you are ill, exercise intensely or sweat profusely you will need additional water. A good rule of thumb is 1/2 ounce of water per pound of body weight.
Limit or eliminate caffeinated and alcoholic beverages from your diet. If you must drink limit them to no more than one alcoholic beverage per day for females and 2 for males. Other than red wine there is not enough nutritional value in alcoholic beverages to include them in your diet. They actually rob your body of nutrients. I do not recommend alcoholic beverages. | 2019-04-19T18:31:41 | https://wallysdailybites.com/2011/10/22/15-rules-of-healthy-living-for-optimal-health/ |

Installing an in-ground swimming pool in your backyard is a big financial investment. Prior to installation it is important to determine whether the investment will pay off for your family--both in terms of how you'll use the pool and your the value of your home.
Knowing what your pool will be used for will help guide your new pool's design. You may want to design a lap pool differently than a pool being utilized primarily for water sports or a children's splash pool. To ensure that you use the pool often enough to justify the investment, it should be designed to suit your family's needs. Your location will also determine usage. If you live in a northern climate, you'll only be able to use your pool a few months out of the year unless the pool is enclosed or heated. However, if you live in Southern California or the Southwest, you'll be able to use your in-ground pool most (if not all) of the year, making the purchase a potentially better investment. Other questions to ask yourself before you take the plunge, is whether you do a lot of outdoor entertaining and the size and ages of everyone in your family. You'll also want to take a realistic look at your family to determine how much use the pool will likely get. If the pool will play center stage in your family's staycations for the next few years, you might determine that it's worth the investment.
There are differing opinions about whether homeowners get a financial return on their pool installation. According to a Realty Times article, most investors agree that pool owners do not get back the full cost that they spent on their pools. "Swimming pools mean an added market value of between -25 percent and 15 percent, a far cry from garages (75 to 100 percent), or interior or exterior paint (70 percent to 300 percent)." On the other hand, a pool could be the deciding factor for homebuyers--particularly those who are relocating to a warmer climate. Regardless of where you live, your inground pool should not take up your entire backyard. Few homeowners will want a concrete backyard, regardless of how nice the pool is.
How much sand should you put in a pool filter? | 2019-04-21T14:47:30 | http://answerbag.com/q_view/1809131 |

Hello guys, just an update on the DS/T Discord, which is currently at 5200 members and growing at unprecedented rates! Everyone is welcome to join, the invite is https://discord.gg/dontstarve We're not official however we are the Wikia and Subreddit's Discord, and we have actual developers on the server. With the new DS and DST updates there's much to discuss on theorize about on the server, and it's a great way to find other players to learn with! Everyone is welcome to join.
I'd just like to make a point that I made on a previous post about one issue I hope Klei considers. With the current ease of switching characters at the relatively cheap cost it would be concerning if Klei dumped a lot of Willow's rework into Bernie, and to a lesser extent the lighter. Either the rework for Bernie/Lighter likely wouldn't be enough to make a difference or it'd make Willow a potential "swap" character, a term I coined for characters used solely for their items/structures and not actually played (think of Winona farms for example). I haven't seen much issue with that in this thread, most suggestions are for actual mechanics for Willow (which are significantly better than item buffs), just something to consider is all. Also as a disclaimer I'm not suggesting Klei shouldn't rework Bernie or the Lighter, in fact I'd be fine with it, just that the primary focus of the rework is on making Willow a more fun character mechanically.
While it's not Don't Starve Together, and I did end up surviving (how I have no idea) it is a story from Don't Starve Shipwrecked. At one point in the game I had to deal with: sharks, sea hounds, meteorites, dragoons, darkness, overheating, waves, low boat hp (had to stop and repair almost getting me killed) and one especially belligerent swordfish all within the span of about a quarter of a day. Yeah I still don't know how I managed to live through that but it was insanely poor timing/luck.
This is completely over-blowing how it actually ends up playing out. The point actually references the issues it has, that it requires a significant amount of resources and time to maintain optimally (which is extremely rare in actual gameplay until the endgame). Stating that it's unfair because you can have a Maxwell or alternative source of fuel is like suggesting characters shouldn't have synergies with one another, in that case Wicker's books shouldn't charge WX players or her food keep Wolfgangs eternally mighty. Also as Willow if you're focusing on inventory burning and combat you're not really capable of exploring, traveling, or gathering, as you'll end up destroying precious resources along the way. So it locks you into a singular area for a significant chunk of time, costs a lot of fuel, and removes a basic function of the character, which is access to their inventory to use optimally. People who've watched the video but never actually tried it in a playthrough assume that's how inventory burning actually plays out in normal gameplay. I can assure you it's never like that in reality. A more realistic approach to it is the utilization of 2-5ish inventory slots set aside for burning rope in when needed, which provides a comfortable boost in DPS but doesn't require dropping and/or consuming my entire inventory and locking me to trying to find a spot where I won't burn anything. Also that takes time, so unless I walk around completely prepared for, say hounds, I'm probably not going to have the time to get properly set up and deal with them effectively, as least not in a way that doesn't risk burning my stuff. Logs are an inefficient fuel source based on cost/time to begin with, even if converted to boards, which end up getting you stuck standing in one place for a good period of time. Also the mechanic of lighting stuff on fire in your inventory was completely intentional, otherwise coconades wouldn't be functional. The side effect of this, inventory burning, while not directly intentional was considered an interesting addition after the fact. Honestly I'm kinda unhappy with the judgmental tone of this. Of course I understand the importance of good DPS, why do you think I'm suggesting inventory burning to begin with? I know how important combat is, it governs a significant portion of the gameplay. And also to the second part of this, it's not my job to answer a hypothetical about what some "pros" may whine about. Why should I care what a bunch of "pro meta" players think or if they get upset that their fragile meta gets changed? Nor am I suggesting this is a "perfect vision" of Willow, that's ridiculous. I said this mechanic is a good foundation for Klei to consider building off of. And finally all of this is still ignoring the fact I stated I'd be fine with Klei working on it for a more multiplayer friendly setting! All of the critiques I've heard of it are assuming Klei just slaps it straight into the game without another thought (which I don't like), and I seriously doubt they'd do that to begin with.
I mean it's undeniable it makes her interesting and fun in DS, it's a solid perk that benefits all skill levels of players and effects all levels of gameplay (which is how I'd describe a good perk). And it's not the same thing as Wolfgang, there's more to it than just holding f at the right times. It's AoE foremost, giving it unique strategies against enemies with addons (like bee queen), as well as being heavily resource consuming if you wish to utilize it consistently for actually decent dps. Also in DST enemies have much higher hp counts making combat perks all the more salient, and a stack of logs wouldn't be nearly enough to kill a deerclops in the same fashion the video does. This is also why I specify in my original post the perk could be altered to be more fitting for a multiplayer experience.... which someone else has already missed as well... This isn't some sort of conspiracy lol. They reworked how fire mechanics works in DST which removed it (ironically unintentionally). Believe it or not I'm not some "grand mastermind" trying to get the perk in, I'm just making a suggestion from ~1700 hours of playing Willow that allows me to have seen what works and what doesn't.
And that's why I said it "Could be altered to from it's original DS incarnation to be more balanced and fitting for multiplayer," To your first point, yes it is cheesy, however so is the entirety of Wickerbottom and Wolfgang's characters as well as overcharge in WX. In actual practice you're rarely going to have a situation where you have a completed boards inventory, a krampus sack, a dark sword, and a thule crown until mid-late game when those strategies (along with other character strats) actually are viable. The vast majority of actual use for it is just as a moderate dps boost, with lighting a couple slots of rope on fire to give you an edge over the enemy. This actually encourages players to design arenas and prepare resources to fight bosses, instead of just playing Wolfgang and pressing f at the right times. Removing the AoE damage removes the entire point, no offense that's a bad idea. Making it just give a seasonal resistance and fire immunity just makes it an annoying fuel sink for summer which can be ignored entirely with proper seasonal equipment (Also Willow's already resistant to summer due to insanity cooling). And the fire immunity boost isn't good either, as being lit on fire or too close to a fire source is almost always completely avoidable with WASD. And the light aura is just a more costly lantern or miner's helmet. The damage boost to held weapons is meh, It'd make more sense if she just gained a damaging aura. To sum it up designing perks around a seasonal resistance and light perks is only going to matter to the most beginner of players, and we should consider broadening the scope to perks that benefit all skill levels of players (like combat focused). I feel like so many people love to critique inv burning who've never actually even tried it in the game before, it never plays out exactly how people assume it does. It (along with the required base fire immunity) makes Willow interesting and one of the best characters in DS (although obviously a tier list in a singleplayer game is questionable).
Fire Immunity and inventory Burning is a good place to start. Could be altered from its original DS incarnation to be more balanced and fitting for multiplayer, however at its core it's arguably Willow's best perk in DS. For those who don't know what it is enjoy: Beyond this I don't really have any major opinions, just that fire immunity + inventory burning gives her a unique combat style making her awesome for dps based fighting.
Having an alt account is a completely separate issue I think I saw maybe once or twice being utilized to get around character swapping before it was a thing, primarily because it required taking the effort to actually set up and oftentimes requires re-purchasing the game (most people give away the second copy before realizing they want an alt), then logging in with said account, all of which is a significant pain if you only have 1 computer. I'm sure it happened, but I think a majority of the time I saw alt accounts come up with issues it was for griefing servers. To answer your question it's both things that have issues, however the primary issue I'm addressing here is that characters have to be designed to be mechanically good, not just good in items, because being good in items is a buff to all characters due to the ability to just change and transfer said items. It makes characters essentially disposable tools when they have great items but lack that unique niche making them interesting and playable, similar to your second point in your referenced post. The main post point about longevity is what I'm trying to look for in the character refreshes, and what I'm alluding to is that since character swapping exists longevity must be acquired via: actual mechanics tied to the character themselves, actually character specific items, or some sort of nerf to character swapping. I already pointed out that I don't like nerfs in my initial post, and would be most likely a fan of the first option listed. I understand that to an extent it's subjective, some people don't really care about interesting characters so much as they care about making the game as fast and easy as possible, and that's fine, it's their opinion. However, I think most people can agree that characters and their items should matter at the end of the day, which isn't really the case when items can just be easily transferable and there's characters who are still fundamental upgrades to one another on a purely mechanical level.
My dude that couldn't have been said any better. While the purpose of this thread isn't to address the moon rock idol issue (at least not directly) the fact is it plays into why character items aren't necessarily character specific anymore in a big way. Which is why I think rebalances should focus less on character items and more on character mechanics (at least as a foundation). If you don't like it don't do it has always been a weak defense. If you don't like smoking, don't do it, doesn't mean you're not going to be impacted by smoking of others around you. At it's core there's a subjective interpretation of the importance of character choice here. Some people (myself included) think that characters should actually matter, and that the decisions you make in the game about who you play should have lasting consequences. When you make it so people can just switch whenever they feel like it removes that entire aspect of the game, which to me is something that's been lost. In certain genres I can respect that this mechanic would be more fitting, but it really does seem unnecessary in DST. Character swapping from what I've seen has actually only exacerbated the "meta" problem which plagues the community. People now play wickergang instead of just wicker or just wolfgang, and the meta has only gotten stronger as a result. While there's the potential for the character refreshes to change this, no one knows what the future holds after all, the point is that moonrock swapping, at least without some sort of control is not helping. Regardless the point still stands currently that Winona is a swap character, which is clearly not the intentional design of the game. Characters are made to be played, not used as tools for people to reinforce the meta. Honestly the only thing moonrock idols have done is take an already relatively easy game and make it even easier, which at least in my opinion is not a good thing. It's trivialized the risk of choice, and at the very least really should have at least some form of cooldown/nerf. I digress though, the point here is that because they exist character items either have to be actually character specific otherwise they risk becoming a swap character, or the reworks should focus on actual non-transferrable mechanics of each character (which would be better in my opinion anyways for Willow).
Yeah I point that out in the post, the purpose is more to just give the suggestion that buffing a character's items (unless truly specific like Lucy or the Codex Umbra) isn't necessarily a direct buff to the actual character themselves, and that this should be considered when they're reworking Willow.
So I've taken some time to enjoy the recent updates we've been getting with both the new character, Wortox, as well as Winona. However, there has been one thing that's been on my mind since the updates began which has bothered me, something which progressively is a growing concern. That thing is... Moon Rock Idols. No seriously, hear me out on this one. To clarify, the majority of Winona's buff (to my understanding) is construed in a massive buff to her item/structure creation. I understand that there are perks around her character itself, however for the sake of this we'll be focusing primarily on her new structures, as well as the one issue I've noticed developing in relation to the usage of moon rock idols. After the calming down of her hype, a significant portion of players I encountered have started using her solely to build her structures and then immediately switch back to their (usually) meta characters, making her "buff" really more a buff to the farms which can be used by any character (ironically buffing the meta even more). She became what I half-jokingly like to call a "swap" character, which is a term I coined for a character who's only useful for their items/structures, but isn't actually played because they're still not Wolfgang or Wickerbottom. While I agree that being a "swap" character is better than not being played at all I don't think it's necessarily the game design DST should have, at least in my opinion. Characters should be buffed so that they're played, not used merely as construction tools for another, more powerful character. This issue stems from moonrock idols themselves, which degrade the importance of character choice as a whole (you can be anyone on essentially a whim with no realistic limits) however the purpose of this discussion isn't really so much about these items themselves (although they need some sort of fix in my opinion) as it is the upcoming rebalance for this month: Willow. Now why would I be concerned about this? Because Bernie and the lighter both exist, and the same concept can be applied to them. Make no mistake, buffing a character's items as opposed to the character themselves is not by any means a bad thing, it's still a buff, however it's also indirectly a buff to everyone else in addition, which is arguably not the intention of "character-specific" items. To sum up what I'm saying is I'm concerned with the rebalance Klei is going to use up a lot of their assets working on Bernie instead of working on Willow as a character herself, which is going to realistically have one of two outcomes. Either Bernie will be useful enough to matter, resulting in people swapping to Willow solely to craft him and then swapping back (similar to Winona now) or he's still not going to matter, either of which at it's core isn't a good thing. I find it extremely unlikely that the buff if focused heavily on Willow's items will garner enough for people to be interested in actually playing her so much as it will cause people to just have yet another set of tools to acquire when they switch characters. There's multiple solutions to this issue, and I'm completely aware it may not be an issue at all in practice, as Klei may focus solely on Willow herself for the rebalance (we obviously have no idea). Foremost, (unfortunately) nerfing moonrock idols in some way may be a solution. Since I'm not a fan of nerfing stuff (it usually makes the game less fun) I'm not exactly thrilled at this thought, however perhaps a tentative cooldown could be considered as a simple solution that doesn't ruin their purpose and yet makes them not spammable (making character choice at least slightly more important as a result). Another solution is if the future rebalances focus solely on the characters themselves moreso over their items/structures. Obviously Winona is a fringe case where her items and structures being her main thing is thematically appropriate, however future character reworks should be more focused on the character over their items (unless their items are genuinely character specific, ie can't be transferred and used by another). Honestly I'm probably just paranoid and this may not even end up being an issue, and I recognize that. I just want Klei to focus more on the characters themselves and consider the implications of buffing character items when moonrock idols exist and are relatively easily to acquire/use. TL;DR I don't want the primary direction Klei takes with reworking Willow to go towards buffing her items, specifically Bernie, which would encourage her to become an item "swap" character. I think the focus should be on mechanically buffing Willow herself before attempting to buff the items is considered.
I was considering that a balancing point to the item actually, since it'd require the skill to move from the Hamlet save into Reign of Giants and craft it at the Ancient Ruins. It'd still serve it's main purpose, but also the additional ability of helping out in Hamlet as well. The item would actually be super helpful in Hamlet, so making it difficult to obtain is fairly fitting.
It'd be easier for Klei to just use the Thulecite Medallion, an item already designed to indicate stuff (so it makes sense) and wouldn't require a bunch of new textures being added. On top of that it gives the darn thing an actual use, instead of having now to make two separate items for essentially the same purpose. Also I'm assuming your clock wouldn't be able to change the aporkalypse calendar? Not sure though. | 2019-04-22T10:54:50 | https://forums.kleientertainment.com/profile/652109-mrmulk/ |
/ Printmaking Creative Session for Beginners 14th April pm.
A new beginners half day workshop with Brian Hindmarch, artist and tutor of printmaking, in conjunction with Jacky Al-Samarraie, designer and founder of The Art Rooms.
This session is aimed at adults wanting to explore their creativity and learn something new. Open to both those with no previous experience and those wanting to develop their basic skills.
Explore some of the techniques below with instruction and guidance to produce finished colour prints.
MONOPRINT is a process in which a drawing or painting, produced on a flat plate which can be transferred using hand pressure on to a sheet of paper, as a ‘one-off’.
MONOTYPE utilises a plate and a press, also producing only one impression.
This process can also produce prints without a press, by incorporating burnishing tools and transfer (offset) using a roller (brayer) on to the paper.
or adding colour to an existing illustration or image. This can be incorporated with Monoprints and Monotypes. This could then be described as a ‘HYBRID’ print.
Classes need to be booked and paid for in advance.
Classes can be cancelled up to 3 days before the workshop for a full refund. We can't offer refunds after this deadline.
