My name is Gema López and I am a Drupal developer. I am from Seville but I am currently living in Stockholm.
My first experience working with Drupal was in Tromsø (Norway) where I was living for four years. In Tromsø I was working mainly for two projects in the Norwegian Centre for Integrated Care and Telemedicine: iTrain and Helsekompetanse.no. I learnt a lot about Drupal while working with them.
Now I am working for Wunderkraut Sweden and I am very enthusiastic about this!

Todd Rundgren has revealed that his upcoming White Knight album, due out May 12, includes a team-up with Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Rundgren tapped the pair for the track "Deaf Ears," a moody, gauzy and rhythmic tune laden with keyboards, bass and percussion. Rundgren has also posted a video for the track online.
Rundgren tells us that the electronic tone of the song is a style he feels is necessary to reach younger listeners anymore:
"There is a form of music that's very popular with the kids which is called Electronic Dance Music, and it is a big fixture on the festival circuits...It seems they have less requirements in terms of lyrical content nowadays. A lot of that comes out of the fact that EDM is a form of music that survived for a long time in Europe without getting a lot of attention in the U.S. and suddenly exploded into the festival circuit, and now...because it's worldwide, if you write a bunch of thoughtful lyrics to go along with it a lot of people are not gonna get it at all because the whole idea is it transcends language boundaries as well, so there's a certain simplicity to it."
White Knight also features guest appearances by Joe Walsh, Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, Daryl Hall and others. Rundgren will be on the road this year on Yes' Yestival tour as well as with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band.

Leaves a legacy and many lessons By Susan Caba Maya Angelou, poet, author and phenomenal woman, died earlier this week. I realized, when I heard the news, that I really knew very little about her. I had read only her best-known book, "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings." So, with her distinctive voice echoing through the house in tributes to her passing, I Googled the poems I was hearing for the first time on the radio. What an eye-opener they were, especially "Phenomenal Woman." That poem should be given to every girl on her 12th birthday, again when she graduates from high school and college, and thereafter pasted next to her bathroom mirror. The poem so courageously—no, I mean brazenly—celebrates attributes that, as women, make us powerful and in which we should be proud. Pretty women wonder where my secret lies… I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now, before you complain that Ms Angelou is referring to, and I'm lauding, the use of physical feminine charms as the source of our power, she's not and neither am I. I read the … [Read more...]

What Would You Tell This 11th Grader? Teaching Our Girls (& Boys) to Speak Out, Stand Up
I'm Vietnamese. In AP History class, I think my teacher was a Vietnam Vet. He's big and bulky. He often throws my papers at me and one day, called me Charlie, Chink, and other names. The principal heard him calling me those names and said nothing. Why didn't I speak out? All of us in AP classes are driven, it's important to us to get good grades. I needed to get the grade and put it behind me. I knew I wouldn't have to have him for a teacher next year. (11th grader) YOUNG PEOPLE LEADING Saturday was one of my favorite volunteer days of the year here in my geographical (St. Louis) Main Street: Diversity Day. We have an extraordinary 9-month youth leadership program that engages high school juniors from 30+ schools. The purpose of the event is to elevate young people's leadership capacities so that they not only notice differences, but are able to speak out with honesty and act with more tolerance, more inclusivity, more bravery. Picture it: Young women with heads covered. Young men wearing crosses. Young people sharing that they're gay. Young people openly talking about stereotypes of how others see their "rich" and "poor" schools and families. Youth talking about how … [Read more...]
Mainstreet Women Care About Future Generations: SEED Call to Action
Happy Winter Solstice! The power of Mother Nature shines and human plans pale. I was acutely reminded of this yesterday when snow kept me from reaching my family in tiny Ord, Nebraska – the Main Street I grew up on. (Photo of my Omaha 'snowed in' view.) Can hardly wait to see Cyndi, a hometown friend and Mainstreet Woman, who shared this during our interview for the upcoming book: What's really important to me is that my children, who are adults now, and my grandchildren, have a world that continues to be a safe place. We're changing our earth and I need to educate myself and my family because they need a safe place. We have to change how we are toward our earth – that's the top thing that is important to me." Cyndi, NE Mainstreet Women all across the U.S. echoed Cyndi's voice: we've got to learn, we've got to change. As Stefani, MO put it, "think seven generations that follow." SEED INSPIRES A couple of months ago, I was rather crabbily sitting in the back of a full Southwest airlines flight from San Francisco to Portland, OR. Two gentlemen squeezed in next to me: Jon Betz and Taggart Siegel. These men took me from cranky to inspired in 5 minutes flat! Jon and … [Read more...]
Mainstreet Women: More What We're Proud of & Wish Every Girl Could Experience Too
A WISH: EVERY CHILD EMOTIONALLY SECURE It was hard times growing up in the 'dirty 30s' in America but I always had family around, I was never hungry. I had all my emotional needs met. We were secure. Not financially, but emotionally secure. Yes, every girl, every child – that is what I wish for them – to have the security that I had. *Elaine, NE #2 THEME: EDUCATION, PROFESSION & PASSION According to the World Economic Forum's 2012 Global Gender Gap report, U.S. Women are No. 1 in the world for educational attainment. Not surprisingly, Mainstreet Women are proud of their hard-earned education that enables them to pursue passions and professions. (The U.S. currently ranks 22nd overall. We're No. 55 in political empowerment, No. 33 in health and survival rates, and No. 8 in economic participation and opportunity.) For girls, I want them to know that education has made all the difference for me. Not my titles, I don't use them though others do, but the fact that I did it. I have confidence that I can learn what I need to learn to succeed. Kathy, ID My education is what I'm most proud of. Despite not having a family who could do it for me, I had the … [Read more...]
Mainstreet Women: What We're Proud Of & Wish Every Girl in America Could Experience Too
I want girls to feel fearless and have hopes and dreams that they can change the world in any way they want to. Rather than self-loathing, I want them to have self-love. If so many girls hate themselves, feel fat, don't like their noses – all those messages they get from the media – if girls could be self-accepting and have self-love as a core, girls could rule the world." Beth, MS As 2012 comes to a close, ask yourself: What would happen if you made it a priority to share with girls one thing you're really proud of and want them to experience too? How would you feel if you reflected on your accomplishments every week? (How about on a walk, in a bubble bath, or with female friends?) Mainstreet Women don't readily toot their own horns. Whether it is Main Street modesty or something more (cultural messages that it is NOT okay for us to shout out our accomplishments), voicing wishes for girls was easier. Because most women interviewed also said that girls need more positive role models, this is worth paying attention to. Are you the one role model who will make a difference in a girl's life? Here's an appetizer of some of my favorite quotes from Mainstreet Women and the top … [Read more...]

Wyoming bullfighter wins national honor _ again
By LEW FREEDMAN
Dec. 17, 2017
CODY, Wyo. (AP) — Although the term dynasty is usually applied to team success, it is an accurate way to describe Meeteetse's Dusty Tuckness.
He is an individual dynasty, a guy who has dominated his rodeo role so thoroughly and for so long that it is not beyond the imagination to foresee the PRCA someday naming its Bullfighter of the Year trophy for Tuckness.
Tuckness just won the annual award for the eighth straight year with the announcement made recently at a banquet in Las Vegas at the National Finals Rodeo championships.
"In any year it's anybody's ballgame," Tuckness said in a telephone interview of not taking his victories for granted year to year. "It's a privilege to be in the last group (of nominees)."
At 31, Tuckness is middle-aged for a bullfighter. It is definitely a young man's game trying to stay one step ahead of snorting 1,200-pound bulls and darting in at high speed to sweep thrown bull riders to safety.
Tuckness is very aware of the need to stay in superb shape and said he has increased his core and cardio workouts.
"I'm just trying to keep sharp to stay young," Tuckness told the Cody Enterprise.
"He is the most dedicated person to his craft that I know," said Maury Tate, operator of Cody Nite Rodeo where Tuckness got his start. "This is what sets Dusty apart. He fights bulls the same way at Cody Nite Rodeo as he does at the NFR."
By that Tate said he means Tuckness takes care of "Wyatt Lehman (a Cody Nite Rodeo regular) the same way as he does for Sage Kimzey (a world champion)."
Tate said he knows of a time when Tuckness was headed out elk hunting with friend Kanin Asay of Powell, a retired bull rider, when they were leaving about dawn.
Tuckness rose at 2 a.m. "to get his workout in," Tate said. "Most people would take those days off with all the walking they were doing."
Each time Tuckness is pronounced the best, the first thing he says is, "I give all the glory to God."
He also does not even vote for himself.
"I fill my ballot in for Cody Webster," Tuckness said of another top bullfighter who has appeared in Cody.
Tuckness said not every rodeo athlete thanks him each time he saves them from possible injury, but he knows they appreciate what he does since he keeps winning the Bullfighter of the Year vote.
He also knows there is a general finite age limit for bullfighters, but once Tuckness retires from the front lines he will not leave rodeo.
There will be freestyle events to work with and schools to teach in.
"I'll stay involved in the sport that's given me everything," Tuckness said.

"Avengers: Infinity War" Including Characters We've Never Seen On Screen in the MCU
"Avengers: Infinity War" directors Joe and Anthony Russo have already started talking about the two-part Marvel epic — ahead of their next entry in the MCU, "Captain America: Civil War" — saying it will feature a ton of characters we've yet to seen on screen.
"New characters are going to appear in Avengers: Infinity War," Joe told Forbes in an interview. "It's a big sprawling ambitious movie, it's about as ambitious as movies get and it should be, and the title alone indicates that there will be an incredible scape and scope to it."
RELATED: "Civil War" Directors Talk Spider-Man's Costume, Unique Role in the Conflict
Anthony added, "It is intended to be the entire culmination of the Marvel cinematic universe and, in many ways, the end to that part of it."
He then clarified, "But we don't even have the first draft in on that script yet; we're still in the outline phase. It's hard not to talk about it too specifically not only because of spoilers but also because we're still figuring it out."
Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan and more, "Captain America: Civil War" opens on May 6, 2016. The first installment in the Russo's Infinity War saga, "Avengers: Infinity War – Part I," hits theaters on May 4, 2018, followed by "Avengers: Infinity War – Part II" on May 3, 2019.

Tennis Star Serena Williams Turns Rapper
TMZ broke the story ... Serena laid down some tracks last year at a Florida record studio called B Major Music Group -- owned by Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie, who's good friends with the Williams sisters.
Now, one of the tracks has finally surfaced -- and it ain't half bad.
The lyrics are a little cliché -- shocker, another song about "balling hard" -- but her flow is surprisingly not annoying. She even gives her sister Venus a little shoutout. Take a listen.
TMZ submitted this story.

1-to-1 iPad and Laptop Program
Carnegie Preschool introduces technology in each classroom through the use of iPads. Children are able to use the iPads to reinforce math, language, writing, hand /eye coordination and science skills using educationally based apps during center time.
Lower School
In the Carnegie Schools Lower School, students have a unique opportunity to develop their technology skills by using iPads. Students can enrich their academics by supplementing their studies. They can do research and make presentations on various apps. For math the students can do scavenger hunts where they solve problems and check their answers. They also can practice their skills by playing games that make math fun. The students can also read a vast selection of books based on their individual interests and levels. After completing a book, they are able to take a quiz that tests their reading comprehension skills right from the iPad. Many tests are administered on the iPads so students can get immediate feedback. Also, students can review terms and concepts related to the subjects studied. Having access to iPads has benefited our students and helped prepare them for the next level of their education.
Upper School (Grades 6-8)
Middle school students are each assigned an iPad Mini. This iPad comes with a sturdy case which also includes a keyboard. The keyboard gives students ease in typing rather than having to type directly on the screen. Google Docs is used for word processing which ensures that any documents worked on by our students are automatically saved to Google Drive. Students can also easily access most of their textbooks via Google Drive which eliminates the need for carrying many heavy books. In the classroom setting students can wirelessly display their screens in order to share with their peers. The iPad/keyboard combo allows middle school students to continue using a familiar device from elementary school while beginning to learn the skills they will use on laptops once they reach high school.
Upper School (Grades 9-12)
In the high school, students are issued Windows laptops to help enhance their education at Carnegie schools. These laptops have touchscreens which allow students to interact with their electronic content. Most textbooks are assigned to students through their school Google account. This allows students to not have to worry about carrying around heavy textbooks. Students are also able to wirelessly display their content to the class in group or individual exercises. High school students can take their laptops home with them in order to complete and submit homework assignments. As so many colleges and universities require students to be familiar with using the Microsoft Office applications, the full suite of Microsoft Office apps are installed on all student laptops. That way when Carnegie graduates reach the college level they will already be familiar with how to use many of the applications that they will need in order to be successful in college and beyond.

OPINION: This Corporal's Reenlistment Speech Really Life-Changing
The following is an op-ed written by the guy standing next to you.
Can you believe this guy? This may be the best reenlistment speech in the history of reenlistment speeches. I'm glad we're here to be enlightened.
When the CO turned, after his own, absolutely riveting, speech and said to him, "The floor is yours, Corporal," I was kind of worried.
But I shouldn't have doubted. He's in rare form today. I'm super glad we're here listening to him at the end of the day instead of going home to our wives and Xboxes.
What's he saying? "Persevere and maintain the standards, and you too can one day be a corporal?" Well, that's some Heidegger-level shit right there. Brilliant.
And now he's mumbling a joke and smiling, and oh! Oh! Now he's looking confused because out of the people who could hear the damn thing, precisely zero of them thought the joke was funny. This is top-dollar entertainment unfolding even as we wait at parade rest here in the sun.
Of course, what E4's reenlistment speech would be complete without saying thanks to everything and everybody on the planet, to include John James Glant and the annexation of the Sudetenland. And his darling fat bitch wife, in a nice dress but—charmingly—in flip flops, apparently under the impression that this is how grown folk dress. Adorable. Absolutely adorable.
Litter of runts in tow, of course, not sure why their father—who honestly is barely older than they—is addressing a group of dozens like he's goddam Nicolae Ceausescu. With his reenlistment bonus, he should be able to buy them a whole new pair of socks. Or a functioning tooth. Or—
What's that? No bonus? He took station of choice? DRUM?! Really?! What kind of—I mean, how delightful! Sunny, divine Fort Drum, scenic and picturesque like Norman Rockwell on adrenochrome. Making sure to take drippy nose icicles into account on your Deliberate Risk Management for a rifle range is truly the pinnacle of any leader's military career.
Oh no, he's wrapping up, and it's been such a short speech! It's only just now been the heat death of the universe, so he really knows how to keep things curt and concise. But I never wanted to see my loved ones ever again! If only there were more time to hear a bunch of meaningless …
Oh. Oh yes. Thank you, Lord! Here comes Top with the safety brief.
4 Comments
My reenlistment speech just happened to be the safety briefing. Pissed Top off, because then he had nothing useful to say.
What happened to term limits? Are we encouraging career military service? Are we going to let the solider decided if he should reenlist or should it be let up to someone who knows better than the solider? We continue to brush this topic under the rug.
My wife knew better and approved my repeated reenlistment. She muttered something about being out of her hair for most of the year…

Here you'll find an ever changing panoply of topics and rantings all designed to accomplish two objectives:
1. Seizing the most of every opportunity.
2. Creating moments of spectacle.

My student Teresa Patterson made this presentation for my Nationalism class.
One thought on "South African nationalism"
The history of apartheid resonates in the history of nationalism of South Africa. A esense of hatred based on irrational prejudice led to endless injustice and human trauma crested and endured. This politics of hatred, from whichever sides, cannot actually do away with the disjuncture. Attacking symbols would only precipitate the schism, still alive in the public memory and would foment new disruption.
Patterson was very positive in her portrayal of a rainbow nationalism. Only cultural plurality and multinationalism can resolve such tensions.
Only thing I found amiss in this project is the economic question. How far role of economy was related to the heightened tension between the two commuities, original Africans and the Europeans could have been mentioned at some part of the movie.
The multiple statue programme in South Africa reminds me of my own countires, multifaceted political movements. Once dead, they all are considered martyrs and her- worshipped by all…………..

Continuous Blood-glucose Monitoring in Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus: An Application of the Extended Kalman Filter
Atul Sharma, M.S. Candidate, Department of Statistics, Colorado State University
Friday, September 18, 2009
10:30 a.m., Room 008, Statistics Building
State-space models are powerful tools for the description, analysis, prediction and control of complex dynamical systems, their defining feature being the identification of an unobserved or hidden state vector whose time evolution is described by a formal system or process model. A complementary model describes the measurement or observation process. In insulin-dependent diabetes (type I IDDM), both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) constitute serious risks. Successful therapy must balance competing dangers, which has historically evolved with advances in the technologies available for routine blood glucose monitoring. To this end, several manufacturers have introduced continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) to infer blood glucose concentrations from a continuous-time, interstitial fluid (ISF) sensor embedded in the skin of the abdomen. The lack of a reliable relationship between skin and blood glucose concentrations (e.g. 50-150% in either direction) remains a significant barrier to applying this technology in a useful way. Novel elements of this treatment include:
• Process and observation Models: Previous reports have applied the Kalman filter paradigm to the blood glucose estimation problem. Palerm et al (2005) modeled interstitial fluid glucose concentrations as a random walk to identify hypogylycemia as a simple binary outcome, without attempting to identify hyperglycemia. Knobbe and Buckingham (2005) introduced a simplified diffusion-limited transport process based on animals studies implicating diffusion lag as the principle cause of the observed disequilibration between fluid compartments. Here, we adopt a physically and biologically plausible model of intercompartmental glucose transport to account for the role of diffusion kinetics in both blood and interstitial fluid (ISF) compartments, with a time-varying glucose source term to reflect the net balance of glucose absorption (gut), insulin-induced uptake (muscle), and synthesis (liver).
• Kalman Smoother: To improve prediction accuracy by revisiting and updating earlier estimates as new observations become available, we implement an efficient backward smoothing algorithm, which retains the O(n) complexity of the 'classical' EKF. This algorithm is the basis of a hybrid, real-time combination of forward and backward recursions, combining a limited number of backward smoothing steps with each observation. Algorithmic efficiency is an important consideration, since the intended application is a portable, real-time monitor running on an embedded microprocessor.
• Divided Difference Filter (DDF): We formally compare performance with that of a novel, non-linear, derivative-free filter based on the Stirling polynomial interpolation formula, which is applicable to a wider class of models and is easier to derive and implement. More importantly, the DDF is said to deliver comparable accuracy with less computational complexity (N¨orgaard et al, 2000).
• Comparison with reference method: Bland-Altman plots are used to assess bias and 95% limits of agreement, a well established clinical method for comparing laboratory assays with a reference method, leaving the clinician with the final word as to how much agreement is clinically necessary.

It came up during conversation at my birthday party and Mike mentioned that he likes strawberry and rhubarb pie and that it was his favorite. I tried telling Anna to make one but she brushed it off saying " I bet Mike doesn't even know what Rhubarb is". She was obviously not paying attention during that conversation. I replied : "No, trust me. When he comes home, ask him if he likes strawberry rhubarb pie and I'll bet he's going to say " I LOVE Strawberry Rhubarb pie!". And that's exactly what he said.
Once again, the baking tasks fall on my shoulders. Not only do I have to bake this pie, I will also be taking a bus to Toronto to deliver it. Okay, it's not as bad as it sounds. My parents are coming to visit for Convocation and I'm busing to Toronto for the night to meet them at the airport.
I don't mind getting assigned all these baking challenges though, it gives me a chance to try new things. I've never made this particular pie before so it's all experimental at this stage.
The crust is definitely the hardest part of the recipe. I used shortening because it makes the flakiest crust you can imagine, but it's extremely difficult to handle.
2 2/3 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup shortening
3 tbsp cold cream
1. Blend together the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor
2. Add the shortening and mix until crumbly.
3. Add cream, 1 tbsp at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides and resembles wet sand.
4. Dump out the mixture onto your work bench/table and form into 2 round discs. Wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
Pie Filling:
2 1/2 cup of rhubarb
3 cups strawberries
1 1/2 cup of sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1. Cut the rhubarb into 1 inch pieces. Stem the strawberries and quarter them.
2. Mix everything together and set aside while you roll out the crust.
1.Roll out one of the discs into a large round that can easily cover a 9-inch pie pan. The dough is very delicate so it tears easily. If it breaks, press it back together and keep rolling it out. I did this between 2 sheets of parchment paper to prevent it from sticking.
2.Cover the base of the pan with the first piece of crust and sprinkle the bottom with a tbsp of flour. It will help absorb the liquid from the fruits.
3.Fill the crust with the pie filling and set aside while rolling out the second piece of crust.
4.Cut star shapes out of the 2nd piece of crust and place it on top of the pie filling.
5. bake in a 375 degrees F oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes until the filling has thickened.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 17, 2009) - Timmins Gold Corp (TSX VENTURE:TMM) announces that it has completed production testing activities at its San Francisco gold project in Mexico. The San Francisco mine is now initiating ramp up to full production. Working capital for ongoing operations will be funded from the previously announced debt financing which the Company expects to complete shortly.
The first gold pour is scheduled by January, 2010. The San Francisco gold project is expected to produce in excess of 80,000 ounces of gold per year, at an average cash cost of USD$412 an ounce. Management has confirmed excellent potential to expand the reserves at the San Francisco gold project and has identified new drill targets adjacent to the current pit.
The San Francisco gold project is a past producing open pit mine and heap leaching operation. All plant and equipment necessary for operations are now in place and tested, including crushing, leaching and extraction facilities designed to produce gold and silver dore.
Construction of the brand new USD$12 million secondary and tertiary crushing system began in November of 2008 under contract with Sandvik and has now been tested at loads in excess of the planned processing capacity of 550 metric tonnes per hour. During testing the crushing system was successfully operated at loads in excess of 750 metric tonnes per hour. The increased capacity, if utilized, would result in an increase of capacity from 11,000 metric tonnes per day to 15,000 metric tonnes per day, over a 30% increase in projected throughput, to produce close to 100,000 ounces of gold per year without any additional equipment. In addition the existing primary crusher was fully refurbished by Metso Minerals and tested.
The first 8 hectares of heap leach pads have been constructed and a further 7 hectares are almost complete. Crushed ore totaling approximately 70,000 metric tonnes has been placed on the heap leach pads as part of the initial load.
The Company is presently revising its current mine plan to accomodate the increased capacity of the crushing system and higher metal prices. The current mine plan has been designed at US$650 gold.
The San Francisco gold project is located in the north central portion of the State of Sonora in Mexico, which borders the US state of Arizona, and is approximately 150 km north of the city of Hermosillo, the capital city of Sonora. The project is located approximately 2 km west of Mexican State Highway 15 (the Pan American Highway). The project is fully permitted and receives electrical power from the local grid.

08.00 AM98 Tô Ngọc Vân, Quảng An, Tây Hồ, Hà Nội
With a history of thousands of years and through numerous vicissitudes with dynasties, Hanoi becomes city with rich and diversity architecture. But it remains for itself the antique soul of Asian beauty. This is the inspiration for numerous artists including Artist Nguyen The Duy.
The exhibition "The Street Dreams" includes 12 works that are mostly on the subject of Hanoi with old streets and ancient temples. His works revive in our mind the image of an old Hanoi which was industrious, serene and peaceful. There was neither rush nor animation as in industrial cities, Hanoi "36 artisan guilds and old streets" with the interference of the local culture and the modern features of Western culture. But, from those pictures, what remains in the viewer's artistic mind is the beauty of traditional art and the nation's marked cultural identity.
Artist Nguyen The Duy was born in 1956 in Hanoi. His early paintings were made when he was in primary school. In 1983, he graduated the University of Industrial Fine Art. But until 1996, he no longer in state regular staff, he gave the whole mind to make painting with the subject of downtown. At present, Artist Nguyen The Duy is a member of Hanoi Fine Arts Association. In addition, he is a member of Hanoi Music Association, and the composer of "First Love" song.
His works on the leitmotif of "Downtown" is delivered to a lot of exhibitions all over the world such as: "Art Creative Studio" in South Korea, Solo exhibitions in Hygienic Gallery New London (USA), International Artist in Residence Program of Griffis New London (USA), and also numerous exhibitions in different cities in Vietnam.
The exhibition "The Street Dreams" will be open on 10/04/2016 (for invited guests only), and take place at Toong - 8 Trang Thi, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi from 11/04 to 11/05/2016.

This is Chapter Two in Mederei's story. Chapter One introduced the characters.
It was like every other dead end town in every other part of the Forty Isles. The same people probably lived there as well - the poor, the lost and those running away from whatever chased them. Of course, there were those who claimed to love their town. Those who wanted to see it grow into something better; those who fought tooth and nail to keep it the same. Those who loved the peace and solitude coming from small town life.
How could anyone choose to live in this hot part of Caergwlân when the main island was - for the most part - a lush, verdant land of wealth and beauty? Surely the ones who lived on this island had lost their minds.
Ramses pushed open the door to the doctor's office. It was a normal office of one who practiced medicinal herbs. There was a waiting area and two examining rooms between the entrance and surgery. A locked cabinet indicated the location of the powerful herbs, while a glass cabinet held most of the medicine.
Doctors in the Forty Isles had magic, but most depended upon medicinal herbs and other knowledge to heal. Adding a little bit of magic to a poultice or a syrup took less energy out of them than healing someone. Normally, healing was a last resort.
Several books on the shelf were dedicated to local diseases such has heat stroke, scorpion stings and poisonous plants. A large number of books focused on blindness in children, sources and recovery. One book focused on natural means of healing.
"Find anything?" Hugh asked, stepping into the hallway separating the surgery area from the four rooms in the center.
"Just the library. Blindness has more books here than anything else ... Well, normal ones."
Hugh looked at the books. "Strange, especially these two here. They're from one of the kingdoms on the far side of the world."
"You speak those languages?"
"It was considered part of my upbringing to learn at least one other language beyond the Forty Isles. I'm not fluent, but I know those words. It's one of their medicinal books." Hugh straightened. "They don't have magic in that kingdom, so all their healing is connected to knowledge and experience. It's nothing like ours and involves a great deal more cutting and sewing."
Ramses, who had an aversion to sharp objects, rolled his shoulders.
Hugh glanced over. "Just don't get sick there, should we ever visit." He stopped talking to cough. "That smell is horrible."
"What smell?"
"The sulfur. I ignored it earlier, but now it's overwhelming. It's like there's a sulfur springs nearby."
Back outside in the heat, Hugh fanned himself. "How are you not affected by this?"
"Earth mages, like fire mages are unaffected by heat. Cold bothers me, though, but heat feels good. Besides, I'm from a land that is hot. This is normal." Ramses cocked his head. "What do you make of those books on blindness?"
"Probably someone here is blind, but I wouldn't know why there's so many books. Healer's magic would eliminate it."
"What if it doesn't work?"
"What do you mean it doesn't work?"
"What I said - they tried it and it didn't work. Healing magic doesn't work on Luna and her siblings. Maybe there are others like them."
"The odds of that, though."
Ramses shrugged.
The wooden sidewalk creaked under their weight. As they walked towards the center of the town, the sound of people could be heard. Turning a corner, they ran into the back of a line of people. Many fanned themselves from the heat; children kicked at the dirt; all had expressions set in dutiful horror.
"What do you think happened?" Hugh whispered.
"No idea."
Ahead of them, Luna waved the paper she held in front of her and sighed as well. She looked down the line of people, and fanned herself with the job offer. Both she and Mederei were talking, but the topic was unclear until Hugh and Ramses approached.
Luna stopped waving the pamphlet. "Where are the boys, anyway? I should call them."
"Ah-ah, you know the rules …"
Luna snorted. "If I cannot be called a woman unless I'm unmarried at twenty-five, then I refuse to call them men, even if they are legally adults now at eighteen."
"And what would you do if they find out you call them 'boys' still? Ramses' earth mage skills are bad enough, but you know what they say about sleeping dragons."
"I can handle Hugh."
"Hand me what?"
Both girls spun around to find the topic of their conversation standing behind them. Hugh rolled his shoulders. "What are you two complaining about, anyway?" Hugh inquired. "We found the people by the way. They're all lined up for some reason."
Luna nodded to the line of people. "It's lunchtime, according to the ones we've spoken with. There was a girl here who was blind, but she can see now thanks to the card mage."
"Which begs the question why he chose to help her," Mederei murmured more to herself than anyone. For as long as he had known her, Mederei had always thought out loud especially on missions. It may have come from being in such a large family where someone was almost always nearby to answer.
Hugh shrugged as they moved forward, the conversations behind them fell silent. He said something to Mederei in the language they used for private conversations. It wasn't the demidrake language, but another one indigenous to the island, but long forgotten. Not even Luna, who knew several dead languages, knew this tongue. Most likely they discussed Gwion matters for whenever the Gwion were involved, the language arose.
Mederei, however, chose to answer in the common tongue. "It protects me from magic and from physical attacks, but it cannot act as an air coolant when it's hot enough to fry eggs."
"It's not that hot," Hugh placated in the common tongue as well. "That's a story people in places like this tell unsuspecting tourists like you."
Mederei crossed her arms. "Then why is there a man frying eggs without a lick of fire on the street behind you?"
Hugh and Ramses turned to follow the finger Mederei point. Behind them to where an older man sat on the ground with a sheet of metal in front of him, covered in fried eggs
"There is a man frying eggs on the street," Hugh whispered. "I thought it was a story?"
"It is a story," Luna insisted. "It can't be that hot."
"Apparently this part of Caergwlân doesn't understand hyperbole." Ramses tapped the man's shoulder. "Pardon me, Sir; why are you doing that?"
The old man looked up. "Lunch." He motioned to the people in front of him. "All of our lunches."
Mederei snorted. "I told you they were in line for lunch." She looked down her nose at the uninspired meal. "However, I would have considered something besides hot eggs."
Egg Man leaned forward to look between Hugh and Ramses. "And just what else are we supposed to eat? The chickens lay eggs at all times; it's worse in the heat, but if we don't eat them then they go bad." He pointed his flipper at Mederei. "Do you know what rotten eggs smell like?"
"Actually, I do. My brothers' have thrown them at me before."
The man lowered his flipper. "I'm sorry for your childhood."
"Don't be," Hugh said. "She probably deserved it; or if not, they received their comeuppance in due time."
Luna leaned over. "Did they really?"
"It was the closest thing on hand," Mederei whispered back. "I was throwing mashed potatoes."
Ramses and Hugh looked over their shoulders and shook their heads. Hugh, having grown-up with Mederei ignored the story whereas Ramses couldn't. "Why?"
Mederei shrugged. "They were making fun of me." Mederei took the paper Luna used to fan herself, and stepped in front of the egg man. "Have you seen this man around here? Goes by the name Monyyak."
Egg Man looked up then spit in the dirt beside him. "Yeah; I'd like to fry him up too."
Behind him several loud complaints concerning the man could be heard, but not distinguished.
"Oh?" Mederei folded the paper back up and sent it back to Luna with a flick of her wrist. "Why?"
"He spoiled the town, and made the chickens lay twice their normal amount." He flipped the eggs. "I'm sick of fried eggs, but what can you do?"
It was a rhetorical question, but Mederei couldn't let a question go unanswered. "Boil them? Scramble them? Oh, I know, make a quiche with extra cheese and onions. I've heard eggshells are good for the soil. You could decorate them. Blow the yolk out. Maybe make a cold noodle soup. Hugh, what's that soup they serve in the capital. The one with ice and ..."
"Not the time, Medi." Hugh put a hand over Mederei's mouth to silence her.
Egg Man stood up. One of the other men in the town took the flipper to work while Egg Man studied Mederei. "He was hear about two days ago when we decided we were through with his robbing us blind. If you can have him take the curses he put on us, off, we'd appreciate it."
"We're not allowed to take jobs unless they come through official guild channels," Mederei stalled. "It could take a couple days for that to happen."
Ramses poked Mederei in the side, causing her to step to the side. "How about this," Ramses began, "we handle your job here in exchange for information?"
"Fair enough trade," Egg man agreed.
"What were the curses?"
"He made it hot, and he made the chicken lay twice their normal amount."
"I'll handle the heat if you handle the chickens," Luna said to Mederei.
Mederei eyed one of the plump black and red chickens squatting in the middle of the street. "Can I cook them?"
The chicken squawked at Mederei who glared at it in return.
Egg Man laughed. "We need the chickens, just not with as many eggs."
Refusing to look away from the chicken, Mederei continued, "Can't you sell them? Make more money?"
Egg Man pushed his hat back. "Now that you mention it, we never considered the possibility of making money off this." Sticking two fingers in his mouth, he whistled. Several men came running forward. He waited until all had arrived before thumbing at them and himself. "I'm the mayor of the town and they are the town council. Our people have been complaining about the eggs, but if we were to sell them?"
The seven members of the council looked at each other then began talking rapidly in their odd dialect. It was a mixture of standard Caergwlânian plus the odd inflections of the language indigenous to the region.
Finally, one of the members looked at the mayor. "How do we keep them fresh?"
"You'll need someplace cold for that," Ramses said. "Someplace underground, but doing that happens to be my specialty. Just point me in the right direction." He flexed his fingers and toes getting a feel for the earth beneath. It was hard and dry on the surface, but below, and not very far, was a solid layer of rock and water - perfect for climate control.
"What can you do?" One of the other men inquired.
"I'm an earth mage, and can build you most anything underground."
"How about here?" Egg Man motioned around them. "Can you manage to build us a tunnel to the ocean five kilometers away? That way we could send them underground. We'd also need several cool storage areas."
"Now she's done it," Luna muttered, leaving the others to deal with the mayor's plans.
"Now I've done what?" Mederei grumbled. "Geez, just because I'm hungry, and rather have chicken than eggs." She snapped her fingers. "Say, can you allow some of the eggs to hatch and start a chicken food place?"
"Like a restaurant?"
"Store, plant, whatever. Make the town a guild and enter into one of the other guilds - chefs or something."
The mayor scratched his head. "I like that. Merchant guilds are a pain, and expect too high of a price. The chef guild is more reasonable." Egg Man rose. He handed the flipper to another person as he stood beside Mederei. "Say, what are your friends doing?"
Behind Mederei, Hugh and Ramses walked away from the mayor and his eggs towards the edge of town. Ramses walked ahead while Hugh walked a couple lengths behind. As he walked, Hugh stretched his arms over his head then behind his back as his stride lengthened. Within a few more steps he was on all fours as his body lengthened and thickened.
Two leathery wings flapped slowly, kicking up a wind as they moved. Ahead of Hugh, Ramses started to run and in three bounds, using the earth as his support, he leapt into the sky where Hugh caught him on his back. Together, they soared skyward.
The town ahhed at the sight. Better than to run in fear, since dragons were probably a rarity in the area. Not that there weren't dragons around the world, but in this part of Caergwlân, dragons were unusual.
I can smell the sea from here, how fast do I need to go? Like all dragons, Hugh could communicate telepathically through touch, though with other dragons, he didn't have to touch. How much dragon blood an individual needed to communicate was unknown, though, Mederei's very limited amount seemed enough.
"Normal speed," Ramses answered. He stretched his hands before him and began carving the line. "Out to the sea, and back. I'll carve then cover."
The action could have been finished at the same time, but this allowed them to see what was happening in the earth below. Thankfully, there were no fissures or other issues which could cause problems. One of the hard parts about magic was knowing when to stop. Too little was almost as bad as too much.
At the edge of the island, Hugh banked around and hovered a moment looking at the gulley formed. Aren't you going to make it more finished?
"No, I'll leave that to them to finish off," Hugh answered. "It'll make it their own then."
On the way back, Ramses covered the top of the gully, forming a roof over the space. It would be enough to do whatever they wanted.
Back at the town, the people all stared at the sky. Luna and Mederei sat fanning themselves while they chatted with some of the locals. The only sound was the rhythmic beating of leathery wings as Hugh and Ramses descended.
"All sorted?"
"All sorted," Ramses assured. "I gave you the basic structure, including a way down." The earth opened beside them with a ramp leading below. "Goes right into the sea, but you might have to be concerned about high tide. You'll have to finish it all off, sort the rooms, lay tracks, make the entrance more to your liking, but you have the groundwork laid out."
"Not to mention it will be a great way of escaping should bandits roll through," Hugh added.
Egg Man whistled. "Didn't know there were still dragons in the territory."
Mederei shook her head. "And the giant black dragon crawling up Hugh's back with the word hunter under it doesn't give it away?"
"We hear stories of humans who can turn into dragons, but never thought they were real." Egg Man nodded to the East. "That man you want left two days ago for Amaite, a port town at the other end of the island. You know it?"
"Yeah," Mederei muttered, wiping off some of the sweat. "We know the place; it's where we landed." To Luna, she muttered, "We should have just remained there."
"Ah, but look at all the wonderful places we've been able to visit, and the interesting people we've met. Now you can say you've been to a place where it's hot enough to fry eggs."
Hugh stepped to the side as a child pressed closer to him. "What do you want?"
"Are you really a dragon or are you a wizard who dresses as a dragon?"
"Wizards can't do what I can do, kiddo."
"Wow," the child answered. "I'm going to be a dragon when I grow up."
Beside him, his friend snorted. "You have to be born a dragon to be a dragon."
The boy glared at him. "I'll figure out a way."
"We found the place. It's the port where we landed," Mederei informed the other two. "We might as well go on. You want to fly or walk?"
Hugh shrugged. "Flying's quicker." He nodded to the town, and started walking away.
"Thank you for the help," Mederei said to those around her as she bowed slightly. "We appreciate it."
"Thanks to you, our town doesn't have to worry about excess eggs anymore," Egg Man answered. He pulled out a small pouch and handed it to Mederei who dropped it into the bag she carried on her back. "It isn't much, but will get you something to eat."
"Thank you."
The ground rose beneath her and she turned to jump onto Hugh's back along with the other two.
"They're so cool!" The boy yelled. "I'm going to be a mage."
"You don't have any magic."
"Then I'll learn some."
"Then you'd be a wizard. Mages have magic naturally, and wizards have to learn magic, and wizards don't join mage guilds."
"Then why were those two girls in the guild? They aren't mages. Didn't you see the wands they used? If they can be in a mage guild, I can be. Don't want to go to a wizard school."
Above the earth, Hugh flapped his wings and banked right towards the port town. "This guy is becoming a pain in my arse," Ramses muttered to the girls.
"Completely. We'll catch him, though," Luna promised. "Mederei's ticked."
Between them, Mederei clenched her grumbling stomach. "I'm hungry. All that talk about eggs and chicken made me hungry."

10 Wedding Guests to Cut from Your List Now
Let me guess – you're having trouble paring down the guest list? Psst! Every couple struggles with this! Fortunately, there are some easy tricks for narrowing the list, and I'm happy to share them with you!
(Note that these are general tips, and your guest list may vary. Bottom line: Invite people you want to spend one of the most memorable days of your life with.)
Here are 10 types of wedding guests you can easily cross off right now:
1. The Long Lost Friend
If you haven't spoken (or maybe Liked one of their posts?) in over a year, this person is probably not close enough to warrant an invitation. Exception: If you can catch up without skipping a beat, you've got a keeper.
2. The Obligatory Guest
If you feel like you must invite someone, chances are you probably wouldn't invite them without that perceived pressure. Figure out why you feel the way you do, and decide if it really matters. If not, cross 'em off!
3. The Reciprocal Guest
They invited you to their wedding, so now you feel like you should invite them to yours. Stop that! Invite them only if you really want to.
4. The Nosy Coworker
Does this person know the story of how you and your honey met, or just the color of the table linens you've chosen? If you wouldn't share semi-personal details with your coworker, they get the chopping block! Note: Quit telling coworkers about your wedding details if you don't plan to invite them! Quit telling coworkers about your wedding details if you don't plan to invite them! Click To Tweet
5. The Client / The Boss
Clients or bosses you've worked with for years may wish you well, but unless you'd catch a drink with them after work – and discuss your personal lives outside of business – they don't need an invite.
6. The Vendor
This category can be confusing. Wedding vendors who are working through the reception (i.e. band, DJ, entertainers, wedding planners, photographers, etc.) will typically expect or even require a meal. (This is not an extraordinary request, guys – working more than a few hours during a mealtime makes for some serious grumblies!) However, that may be a separate meal from the rest of your guests' meals (check your contracts to see what your vendors require), and vendors can be seated apart from the guests. Some couples invite other types of vendors (officiant, florist, cake baker) to stay for the reception, but it is neither expected nor required – and it's not a good idea if you haven't calculated them into your guest list and budget.
7. The Long Lost Relative
Family invitations might be the top reason for wedding drama, so tread lightly here. Especially if another family member is paying in full or in part for the wedding, you will want to seek their advice about which family members to include on your list. If you've never met Great Aunt Hazel – or met her once before you could walk – you can make a good case for not inviting her to your wedding, but you might not want to. It might be worth it to you to make that family connection, and Great Aunt Hazel may be looking forward to hanging out with the rest of the family as well. In some cultures, even distant relatives many times removed are expected to receive invites, so consult the family "historians" before axing relatives from the list. Consult the family 'historians' before axing relatives from the list. Click To Tweet
8. The Kids
Most couples feel strongly about the topic of having kids at the reception, for or against. Some also feel that children don't belong at the ceremony. Whichever your preference, make it known to your guests in your invitations, and be as consistent as possible in extending (or not) that invite. It's perfectly acceptable to have an "adult" wedding, especially if it's a more formal affair.
9. The Plus Ones
Plus ones are as divisive as kids when it comes to guest list creation. The purpose of a plus one is to allow unmarried guests to bring their established partners. (Both parties in married couples would be invited.) In some cases it's extended as a courtesy to single adults so that they might bring a friend or date, but it's not necessary for single teens or if your single guest is not currently in a relationship and is also a family member or knows a few other attending guests. Hint: Seat the singleton with the friends or family they know.
10. Anyone and Everyone!
Hear me now: You do not have to have a big wedding! While I love family weddings, more couples are opting for micro weddings or elopements to save money, time, and pressure. If it suits your style and relationship, you can have a wedding all by yourselves! (And an officiant and usually a witness or two.) It's usually good form to talk with blood relatives before making the final decision to elope, though.
So there you have it: a quick and easy(-ish) way to cut your guest list! Are there any other categories I've missed?

MP says Carnage pub crawl 'trivialises prostitution'
An MP has urged organisers of a pub crawl to scrap a "Pimps and Hoes" theme which he says "trivialises prostitution and violence towards women".
Organisers Carnage UK said the event in October would be fun and safe for students.
The firm has been criticised in the past after a student urinated on a war memorial in the city.
Sheffield Central Labour MP Paul Blomfield described the event's theme as a "new low" for the company.
He said: "I think they've got to take some responsibility for what they do.
"You organise a themed event around the title Pimps and Hoes, now what are pimps? Pimps are men who make money out of the sexual abuse of women."
Mr Blomfield added: "If Carnage refuses to change the theme then I'd call on local Sheffield businesses to wash their hands of this bar crawl."
Students chose theme
Carnage UK is owned by Varsity Leisure Group (VLG), which said the fancy dress theme was chosen by students, and that bars, restaurants and taxi drivers would benefit from trade created by the event.
Paul Bahia, of VLG, said: "We strongly disagree that a fancy dress theme such as ours for our event in any way trivialises violence towards women, and really we would be surprised if the public disagreed, given the frequency of these events."
Some 2,000 students are expected to attend the event.
In 2009, 19-year-old Philip Laing, of Macclesfield, Cheshire, admitted outraging public decency after he was pictured urinating over a Sheffield war memorial during an event organised by Carnage UK.
The company said the vast majority of students who attended their events were "well-behaved and law-abiding".

I don't like "rompers." I don't even like the word, "romper."

I desperately need the ability to scale our CI up to multiple build servers. Currently we are just building java code and running unit tests. Individual builds take a few minutes each on average.
