Greek street artist Fikos created the biggest Byzantine painting in the world in the Ukraine. As a part of the Mural Social Club Festival that is taking place in Ukraine a renowned Greek artist Fikos Antonios decorated a 16-floor high building in Kyiv. More info and images after the jump!
The name of the artwork is "Earth and Sky". "People you see are the personifications of the earth and the sky. The piece became the biggest artwork in history of the Greek art since ancient times. It is definitely the biggest Byzantine mural ever, it is three times higher than the chryselephantine statue of Zeus in Olympia, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world", says Fikos.
Fikos was born in 1987 in Athens, the city he still calls home. From a young age he painted whatever he saw around him – comics, landscapes, icons and more. At the age of 13 he started studying Byzantine painting under the guidance of George Kordis, with whom he later collaborated for 5 years painting murals in Orthodox churches, while at the same time developing his own personal painting style.
Having a background as both a graffiti artist and an iconographer in Orthodox Christian churches, Fikos is continuing his developmental journey by painting murals in public spaces. The value of these works is exceptional, as it is the first time that the monumental Byzantine technique meets a contemporary art form such as street art. The themes of his murals emanate from the Orthodox Christian tradition and ancient Greek mythology.
The Mural Social Club Festival is organized by NGO Sky Art Foundation and Dmytro Palienko, curated by Oleg Sosnov and Julia Ostrovska. All photography of the mural by Maksim Belousov.
The festival line-up includes top street art names, all of whom are coming to Ukraine to decorate the cities with their artwork: Li-Hill, Rodrigo Branco, Evoca1, Fintan Magee, Borondo, Fikos Antonios, Telmo & Miel and others. Ukrainian street artists such as Aec Interesni Kazki, Roman Minin, Sergey Radkevich, Sasha Korban will also take part in the project.
Sky Art Foundation is a charity fund that was established in Ukraine in autumn 2014 by patron Dmytro Palienko.
The organization aims to support the new generation of Ukrainian contemporary artists. Sky Art Foundation contributes to the international cultural exchange and Ukrainian cultural integration into the world art scene. The fund pursues an active exhibiting strategy revolving around its own art space Sky Art Foundation. It also is an active charity that organizes international art projects, cultural events that involve Ukrainian artists, and establishes grants for upcoming artistic talents.
Please feel free to contact Sky Art Foundation if you need any further information.

The first step is to write content that will resonate with readers, and the second step is to optimize the content for search engines.
Once you know that basic premise, you can move on to learning how to optimize blog content for search.
So how do you optimize blog content? And how do you get your blog to rank higher in Google searches?
Here's how:
1. Keyword Research
Conducting keyword research is step one of search engine optimization. This translates into finding what words people are searching for so you can rank better for those words.
Once you know what terms people are searching for, you can use them on your site to rank higher for those words.
So how do you know what words people are searching for?
Google's AdWords Keyword tool is the easiest way to conduct keyword research. You can use it search for words and phrases that are similar to words or phrases people are searching for.
If you search for the term "blogging," you'll find out that 83,100,000 people search for "blog" each month, 550,000 search for "blogging," and 135,000 search for "fashion blogs." The AdWords tool also shows how much competition there is for each keyword.
The goal is to find out what phrases related to your content are searched for the most, and then using those terms on your blog. Google's AdWords Keywords tool is great for this.
2. Page Titles
The second most important piece of the SEO puzzle is optimizing page titles because titles are a key component in Google's search ranking algorithm.
Page titles are the text that appears at the top of the browser such as "7 Easy Ways to Improve Your Blog's SEO" on this page. It's the text that's located at the top of the browser on each page.
This text is important because Google weights title keywords heavily. It believes that if a word appears in the title, it's probably a key term for that page.
Using keywords in page titles is one of the easiest ways to rank better in searches because you automatically get more Google juice by using keywords in there.
For example, a bakery in the city of Irving could use a homepage title like this: "Argentina Bakery—the best cakes, pastries, and cookies in the city of Irving." In this case, the bakery would rank for its name, "Argentina Bakery," as well as "bakery," "cakes," "pastries," "cookies," and "Irving." All of these are key terms for a local bakery.
The key here is that tweaking the title of pages to include keywords will increase search engine results because Google heavily favors title tags. This should also be done by describing the page content in the most accurate way. There's no reason to stuff keywords in the title that will look odd to readers.
3. Post Headlines
Using Keywords in post headlines is another way to get an SEO boost.
Why is this good for SEO?
It's good because, in case you haven't noticed, the post headline shows up as the page title whenever someone is viewing that post. Since Google has a crush on title tags, you'll want to use keywords in post headlines.
With that said, it's best to write headlines that will first get people's attention and then get Google's attention.
For example, if you're writing a post about search engine optimization, it's best to use "SEO" or "search engine optimization" in the headline. This will catch anyone's attention who is searching for those terms, and it will get Google points for having keywords in the headline which end up as the page title.
What you don't want to do is write a headline like this: "This is an awesome post!" It offers no description for readers and zero words for Google to rank.
Since page titles are critical for SEO, post headlines are as well. It's important to write headlines that will resonate with readers first, and then insert keywords for Google as long as it doesn't take away from the reader's experience.
4. Incoming links
In case you don't know already, Google loves incoming links. It counts links as votes of confidence for your site. If other people are willing to link to you, the content must be pretty good.
Google loves links, and it really loves links from high quality sites. The more popular a site is, the more Google juice the link will bestow.
So the next time you get written about in CNN.com, make sure they link back to your site. If that doesn't happen anytime soon, do your best to get more incoming links, especially high quality ones.
There are shady ways to do this, but don't opt for those tactics. Instead, find ethical ways to get credible sites to link to you. Guest posting is one way to do that.
Remember, more links equals more Google juice.
5. URL Structure
Google also pays attention to the URL structure of websites. This means that it takes into account the keywords that are in the URL.
If someone searches for "blog" and that happens to be in your URL, you'll get points for that.
Some people take this into consideration when picking a domain name, but that isn't super important. What's more important is making sure that page and post URLs provide the most keywords to Google.
It doesn't seem like much of a difference, but when it comes to SEO, it makes a big difference.
The point is to make sure that the URL structure for your blog includes keywords that are useful to Google. This can be easily done by ensuring the post title is included in the URL.
6. Description Meta Tags
Another way to improve search rankings is to provide an appropriate description of the page with meta tags.
The description meta tag is the part of the page that is shown below the title in a Google search.
By tweaking the description to match what people are searching and to include keywords, two things are accomplished: 1) SEO ranking improves 2) A more accurate description can be include to entice people to click through in a Google search.
This description can be optimized for keywords and to get people's attention. Both are great for SEO.
7. All-In-One SEO Pack
Another way to improve SEO is to use a premium theme that is optimized for search right out of the box. An example of this is the Genesis theme framework that is used on this site.
Genesis is built with rock-solid SEO features that make it a great choice for improving SEO. It has built-in options for customizing title, headline, and meta tags that make SEO tweaks easy to make.
But if you don't have the money yet for Genesis, the All-In-One SEO Pack is the second best thing.
It's a WordPress plugin that makes optimizing for Google easy. At the bottom of each post and page, there's a form for customizing the title and meta description. It's as easy as copying and pasting content from the post and tweaking it to improve search engine results.
The Genesis framework has this built in already, but if you're not ready for that, the All-In-One SEO Pack is a great substitute. Installing and learning how to use it is the easiest way to improve SEO.
If you are a newbie who just started a blog and looking for ways to build it means then you have to familiarize yourself in SEO methods. First of all, you should know some basic SEO terms which will help you greatly when you are learning SEO tactics. Below are some of the important SEO terms. If you know the terms already, then you can utilize this article reading time as a refresher.
1) SEM: Search Engine Marketing. As the name suggests, it is the marketing tactics that include two marketing methods through search engines. One is SEO and other is PPC. SEO is the tactics of optimizing websites so that it occurs naturally in the search result. PPC is Pay per Click and here, the webmaster is paid for each and every genuine click on the ad registered in his site.
2) Backlink: Backlinks are simple hyperlinks that point another site. This will help in determining page rank of a site and will also influence in determining the sites search rankings. Read next point to know much about this.
3) PageRank: Google used to rank each and every website that it indexed in the web to evaluate its relative importance. For example, if site A refers site B in a link, then some proportion of page rank will flow to site B (only if site A allows it. That is, there should be no NoFollow tag). If many links flow to a particular site, then it will get high value. Higher the value, higher the page rank and vice versa. But page rank alone will not decide the quality of a site. There are many factors like traffic, backlinks, etc.
4) Anchor Text: Anchor text in the backlinks will be viewable and clickable in the web site. If you have keywords associated in these anchor text, then Google will club your site with those keywords and hence it will result in better search rankings. That is, if any one searching 'Online Money Making' in Google, then if you have some of your anchor text with the same term 'Online Money Making', then it will help you to get better search ranking.
5) NoFollow: This is an attribute associated with the hyperlink. This attribute will not allow the flow of page rank to the site which is in the link. This will happen in many places like blog commenting (if NoFollow attribute is not there, then more spammers will comment in your site to get some link juice), in paid advertisements, etc. Google will not consider such NoFollow links for its page rank calculation or any other algorithms.
6) DoFollow: This is antonym of NoFollow.
7) LinkBait: To gain search ranking by getting many backlinks, SEO experts used to publish a piece of web content, video, picture, quiz or anything else is called LinkBait.
8) LinkFarm: This is one of the oldest methods to gain backlink. In this, all the sites will link to every other site in the farm to gain page rank artificially. Now it is called as spamming and there is pretty good chance of getting penalized by Google.
9) SERP: Search Engine Results Page. This is the result page that you will get when you search anything in the search engines like Google. Good SERP ranking will drive you more traffic.
10) Search Algorithm: According to Google, it is a complex calculation with more than 200 factors directly affecting SERP of any website. Some of the factors are page rank, website age, backlinks, title/meta tags, etc.
11) Title Tags: This is nothing but the title of the site/blog itself. This is very important factor in the algorithm. This should be unique and should reflect your main keywords.
12) Meta Tags: This is the tag that is only for the use of search engines. They will be inside the HEAD tags of your sites HTML code. They will be used for keywords, description, etc.
13) Keyword Density: This is the normal keyword density per page. That is, the total number of key words in the page divided by the total number of words in it. This is important for the early algorithm of Google. But this is not a deciding factor anymore.
14) Keyword Stuffing: This is a rarely used word. Artificially filling any web page with keywords is called as keyword stuffing. This helped in the early stages. But now if you do the same, you might get penalized.
15) Sandbox: This is where the new sites will be placed before moving to Google's actual index. That is, Google will place all the newly developed sites in the Sandbox and after verifying its legitimacy, it will move the site to its main index. After moving to the main index only the sites will appear in the search results.
16) Plagiarism: This is the method of copying others content and publishing in one's website portraying that it is their own content. This will be penalized by Google if it came to know about that.
17) Web Crawler: This is also called and search bot or spider which searches the whole web for new pages, links, sites, etc., on behalf of search engine.
18) Robots.txt: This is just a file in the root of your domain which informs the other search bots about the sites structure. We can grant/revoke search bots access to certain specific pages inside the website by placing appropriate commands in the robot.txt file.
19) Cloaking: This is a method of spamming in which a website will show different content to search engine and also for human visitors. The purpose is to get high Page Rank and to get more traffic and using that traffic to sell or promote unrelated products.
20) Content spinning: This is the method of stealing others content and replacing all the possible words with its synonym and publishing in their own site with some keywords. This is usually done to publish unique content and to get high search ranking to drive more traffic and to generate revenue through affiliates or PPC. This will not generate readable content mostly.
I have briefed some of the key words used in SEO world. If there is anything other than this (surely there will be), kindly share with me.

Insomnia has been my bed mate for the last week and that might be in part due to my persisting jet lag but it might also be do to my hyperactive brain. Do you ever get that way? When you just think about this, that and the other thing in what seems to be ceaseless linking and segways? When thoughts about the meaning of life, the interactions you had that day and the article you just read keep repeating themselves in redundant and at times elucidating ways? Of course you do, we all do at times and this is the state I've been in almost every night this past week. Me in bed with eyes closed trying to pretend myself to sleep. In light of this insomniatic state, I am going to take this opportunity to try to expel some of these thoughts out of my head so that maybe, just maybe I can get a good night's sleep. So here goes in no consequential order or relationship:
Meditation – People are really into meditation at the moment. Why is that? I think that maybe we are all just searching for some means to cope with things and also I think it is the new next level thing and trend to attest your struggle with existence in a certain type of way. A while ago being a depressive was en vogue, even more recent the idea of sensitivity and introversion were. These are type B, anti-socialized personality groups whose perhaps declared membership within offsets you from the cruel, oppressive world. Or maybe I'm being too harsh in this view; maybe we are all just saddies trying to get by. Anyways, meditation is pretty amazing and if it's a way to cope with all this angst and anxiety involved with this whole living thing then mantra, mindfulness yourselves away.
Charlie Hebdo – It's a terrible situation but one that I can't even bare to participate in as it speaks of a continuing trend of trauma fetish which is making me sick in the guts about our hysteria mob instincts. This article on Paper Bird made me feel at least not in a desert of this thought and they did it way better then I could. People, let's think before skydiving into trending rhetoric.
Words that I just don't want to see for a long time – Trigger(ed), Neo-Liberal, psychoanalysis(analytic), Quotidian, Post-Internet.
Things that I wish would just stop in the art world – Hyperallergic, Paddle8, Sotheby's Institute, celebrity art, gallery owned restaurants, boring panels, boring lectures, boring performance art, boring bores, museum twitter feeds, museum everything feeds, illusion of avant-garde, mostly female staff in contrast to mostly male rosters, lack of people of color, rich people's social club, bad blog art writing, usurpation of liberal politics, misogynists in power, snobby kids with pocketed parents art-slumming it, sky miles.
Things that I wish there was more of in the art world – A new/expanded form of e-flux, more arts funding for galleries and artists, outdoor gallery work zones, dinner parties in people's homes, more Mike Kellys, more John Baldessari, more Louies Bourgeois, more Paula Coopers, influential art critics, symposiums, maternity and work laws, transparency.
Caffeine – I've discovered I am allergic to caffeine and in this discovery I have been reading a lot about it found out that caffeine is evil for those that are allergic to it. It can make you think you are cuckoo-bananas and this allergy has many of the same symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks and also feelings of bodily dislocation. If you are having anxiety or panic attacks I recommend cutting out caffeine to see if that might not be a cause or the cause. The body is a strange, strange thing.
Neuroaesthetics – This is what I am basically obsessed and buried eye ball deep in at the moment. Like it is making my brain pop and sizzle. The brain is amazing and how it relates and effects art, perception and subjectivity is knocking my socks off. Can't even, it's that engrossing.
Time Zone – Why does the planet have to be round and spin and make it so that time one place is a different time another place? I know it has to be and know why but it is such a mind trip to think about time and reality of time in that sort of way. Also thinking about others in other time zones is a mind mess as well. The basics and structure of their living and your living are not overlapping but hinged at different points. How that effects matters of the heart is something very much on my mind.
London Art – Things seem so striated here in terms of art worlds and their mingling. There seems to be specific tiers and groups that do not overlap as much as they do in other places (I'm thinking specifically of New York, LA and Berlin). Maybe it's the topographic distance of things. Maybe it's England's obsession with class. Not sure yet but it seems self-defeating and dulling perhaps.
Organic Food – I'm a spoiled food cooperative brat, which likes my veggies diverse, fresh and local, as well as having an easily accessible variety of dietary surprises and essentials. I am not happy about my situation in London in regards to this. Where is the Ginger-Aid Kombucha? Where is the nutritional yeast? Where I ask? WHERE?
Cold – It is less cold in London then it is in New York. It is less cold in New York then it is in Chicago. Knowing this I am still always cold and I can't imagine being sweaty ever, ever again.
Sauna – Speaking of sweating how does London not have a Korean Spa? It should be illegal to not have a Korean spa in a major city. I think I have found a Turkish one. I am seriously looking up "spas London" in my phone like every other night. Need the detox heat, right now.
Out of sight, Out of Mind – I seriously think I'm some sort of small furry animal as I truly have difficulty and/or interest in things that are not in my current purview mentally or physically. Like I just don't care. Is that normal? Not sure but it's actually sort of a relief in some ways.

A lot of people assume that filing income taxes is a complicated, uninteresting and time-consuming task. A simple way out will be to retain the services of a tax accountancy firm. For those who choose do-it-yourself, tax accounting software may be used to simplify the task to a certain degree. The Internal Revenue Program, or IRS, furthermore provides a huge assortment of tax related sources at their recognized website for those who need to do it themselves without a tax accountant. However, even with these kinds of extensive information, it is not easy for individuals to file their own taxes.
Tax accounting software is popular in small firms and seems adequate with regards to filing personal income tax. It is also much more cost-effective than hiring a tax accountant. However, to use a tax accounting software program, one must at least have the knowledge of basic accounting principles, and stay willing to spend time studying the software. It is not easy to satisfy either of the conditions above, therefore the tax accountant cannot be replaced by a equipment and/or software.
Furthermore, duty laws are usually difficult and sometimes with seemingly contradicting rules and guidelines. They also maintain changing as with each new bill approved in the Congress you will see a potential change in the Tax Law. You will have incentives within Taxes Law to motivate business entities to accomplish certain things and not to accomplish others. For this reason, massive corporations often keep a large team regarding tax accountants.
A number of the major tasks carried out by the tax accountant are tax planning, and filing taxation statements. To do well on tax planning so that the minimum tax return may be filed, the an accountant spend a large part of time doing tax study. The tax accountant furthermore analyzes corporate costs and gathers monetary information so that they can have better tax consultation.
With a good tax-return strategy, it is very possible for a multinational corporation to save millions of dollars inside tax reduction. This particular shows how essential the tax accountancy firm could be in increasing the bottom line. With such a crucial role, experienced accountants demand high salaries, as compared to professionals like legal professionals and doctors. It's really a good career choice for those who are able to perform under pressure.
Despite tax accountant being a great career choice together with excellent prospects, it is sometimes complicated to become a good accountancy firm. A basic requirement for a cpa is obviously to learn about tax law and also accounting subjects including tax planning and also tax return filing. However, a tax accountancy firm will also require understanding beyond the subject associated with accounting and tax. For example, accountants working in real estate are expected to have specific knowledge of Trusts and also Estates.

I didn't want to have to do this. Unfortunately, I have been effectively disabled by chronic Mercury Poisoning.
It's been a year and a half of an endless nightmare.
My digestive system is messed up, I have food sensitivity, EMF sensitivity, my joints and muscles ache constantly, my body twitches, I can't sleep, I have tinnitus, headaches, insane itchy skin rashes, my vision is extremely light sensitive, blurry, and doesn't feel like I'm in my own body. And worst of all, my brain function is severely diminished. I can't focus on anything, my short term memory is completely shot, and I can't make a decision to save my life.
The best way to describe this is that I've been stuck in a bad trip. And it keeps getting worse.
If there was any hope in reversing this, I would never have considered such a drastic measure. But alas, there is no relief, and I can't live another day like this.
How did this happen? A lot of factors contributed, and I will share the whole story. Please use the link at the bottom of each page or the sidebar to navigate to the different chapters. Just be sure to read through in order.
It took me a long time to piece everything together, but I'm glad I was finally able to figure it out. I always knew something was wrong with me, however, I always thought that it was somehow my fault. I now have peace knowing that I just got dealt a shit hand, and that I'm not to blame.
Some last words:
Josh Larsen – It was good connecting with you through ACC. I was so alone in this until we were able to share our stories. I know you'll beat this and get your life back. Enjoy CM for me.
Thomas Shepherd – I'm glad we got to meet in that Uber ride. I was in a really low place and hanging out with you really helped me get back in the right direction. You're going to kill it with your business and your permanent life in Thailand.
Bua – You are such a special girl. I wish I could've been a better boyfriend to you, and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to provide the life you deserve. I know you'll find a bunch of happiness and have a beautiful family one day.
Jason – You're doing such a great job in life and you're going to be very successful in whatever you end up doing. I'm glad we got to spend time together this summer, but I wish of course that I was in a better state to do more things with you. I'm thrilled to call you my brother.
Brien – I wish I went to your wedding. I'm sorry for being so selfish. You were always a great brother to me and I'm very thankful for that. We had some good times growing up. I wish you and Ali a wonderful life.
Ron – You did your best with me and I appreciate all your efforts in raising me no matter how difficult I was. Thank you so much for being my doctor when I needed help. You added additional years to my life and I'm very grateful for that.
Gary – Thank you so much for being my friend. I don't know what I would've done without you. We had some great times growing up and you helped me with more than you can ever imagine. You and Kat are going to have an amazing life together and I wish I was healthy enough to stick around and be apart of it.
Mom & Dad – Please don't take this too hard. I'm in a better place now. I know my life has been difficult, but it's not your fault. Please make my life mean something by following up with my Mercury research requests. Thank you for all your efforts and support.
Thank you to everyone else who had a positive impact on my life. Even though I've always struggled, there were a lot of good times along the way.
I appreciate you all and hope you have amazing lives.


text: studioc5 5 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 Dms needs to do away with the local scope region. The Header and Footer are global scope regions wich means if I save a text box with text in this area, it will show up on all pages using the template. But lets say I want to add a second sidebar to the main content area which is under local scope, If I drop a widgetizer into a column and select a sidebar, when I save this template, all pages using this template will now show an emtyp widgetizer instead of the sidebar I selected. You dms developers need to understand that we need the ability to make anything we desire to be global, in order to achive even the most basic concept of a left and right sidebar. How can you globaly / permanantly place elements into the template area between the header and footer ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smith (History/Nichols Coll.; Green Republican: John Saylor and the Preservation of America's Wilderness, 2006, etc.) charts the sordid racial history of the Washington Redskins, the last NFL team to field black players.
The author focuses on the Redskins' innovative but controversial and preening owner, George Preston Marshall, the principal obstruction in the stream of racial equality that began to break through in the mid 20th century. Marshall, who made his fortune in the laundry business, bought into the NFL in 1932 and soon moved to Washington D.C., where his teams enjoyed swift and enduring success on the arm and acumen of quarterback Sammy Baugh. Smith notes that a few blacks played in the NFL in the '30s, but—principally due to the influence of Marshall, he avers—the league soon became all-white and stayed that way for more than a decade, when Paul Brown's eponymous team broke the mold and soared to glory with Marion Motley and Otto Graham. Noting the Browns' success, other teams soon followed, though Marshall remained intransigent. As the civil-rights movement gathered momentum, the pressure mounted on Marshall to relent, but it took the efforts of an unlikely hero, JFK's Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, to find the financial leverage to do so. (He told Marshall he could not use a public stadium if he violated fair-hiring practices.) The author cannot conceal his disgust with Marshall, attaching to him just about every available synonym for racist, but Smith does celebrate the efforts of D.C. journalists, white (Shirley Povich) and black (Sam Lacy), to prod Marshall into the 20th century. He also notes the oddity of D.C.'s black fans swarming to the stadium to see the all-white team.
Thorough research and thick disdain form a corrosive substance that consumes the brazen racist Marshall.

If you are lucky enough to own a wood-burning fireplace or stove, you're probably looking forward to that much-anticipated first fire of the season. But before making the trek to the woodpile, make sure you're fully prepared to fire-up! Here are some tips for making great fires and keeping them safe.
Building a Fire
For the best fires, burn high quality, properly cured and split hardwoods like oak, birch, ash and maple. There are many ways to build a fire, but here are some basic steps:
You can watch a video with step-by-step instructions here.
Safety First – Always!
We all know that fire is hot and can be dangerous. But what you may not know is that the Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates that more than 26,000 residential structural fires start in chimneys or fireplaces each year. Don't be a statistic. Before firing up, take these steps to better ensure your fireplace and chimney are in good condition.
And last, but certainly not least, if you have a masonry-built open wood fireplace, consider having an EPA-certified insert installed. Inserts like the 300i will turn your fireplace into a powerful heat source. They're outfitted with technologies that burn and re-burn the wood, smoke and gases, producing very warm, long-lasting fires. They also significantly reduce creosote buildup.
Stay safe and warm this fall and winter!

From Gateway:
"The Conspirator" is the story of Mary Surratt (Robin Wright), the only woman charged as a co-conspirator in the killing of President Lincoln, and the mother of John Surratt, one of the eight conspirators that included John Wilkes Booth. The 28-year-old Fredrick Aiken is a Union solider who recently returned from the war and is just beginning to practice law. His mentor, Reverdy Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) asks him to take the case. He is reluctant at first but soon begins to see the injustices in Surratt's military tribunal.
This movie isn't just about the execution of Surratt. Though it plays like a legal thriller, you never get that David and Goliath feel. History has told us how this story ends, and it's fairly clear from almost the first courtroom scene that Aiken has no chance of winning.

Months have passed and I keep meaning to share this find, which I encountered at a friends when I was living back in the west country.
Angels in America is an epic film compiled from a tv series, adapted from a broadway play. It is searingly beautiful. It is extremely poigniant and it is fantastically acted with amazing vigour and carelessness and sharpness that only true stage artists can evoke - even on film. It is heartbreaking. It is terrifying. It makes you feel entirely helpless and completely powerful at the same time.
It makes you realise how vulnerable our bodies are, and how powerful our will can be.
The props are awful, the graphics very questionable, but it feels like you are watching a play on the screen, with all the gusto and glory of the theatre.
If you find yourself with 6 hours of spare time, I highly highly reccommend you spend it watching this.

WorldGate, Open TV Cut Back Staff
The slowdown in MSO capital expenditures continued to dog the interactive-TV
sector, with WorldGate Communications Inc. and OpenTV Corp. announcing layoffs
of 50 and 60 employees, respectively.
OpenTV's cutbacks were expected with its inclusion into Liberty Media Corp.
OpenTV said it will close its regional office in Naperville, Ill., which will
cut its overall 600 headcount by 10 percent and save the company $8.8 million
The vendor added that it will take a one-time, pretax charge of $4.1 million
in the third quarter of this year.
WorldGate said it will eliminate 50 full-time-equivalent positions, as well
as implementing other structural changes.
The vendor will transfer certain employees and functions to the TVGateway
joint venture with four MSOs. WorldGate also said it will focus on thin-client
technology, which has a greater chance of being deployed over the next year.
Also, Joel Boyarski, vice president and general manager of TVGateway, will
become chief financial officer of WorldGate, taking over for James Agnello, who
is joining a health-care firm.
WorldGate said the moves ensure that the company will have enough cash to
operate for the next four quarters.

Hey Party People,
It's been a while since I've finished anything on the creative front. I suffer from the whole "have a 9-6 job and am too tired to finish anything" syndrome, and yes, it's been on going for a few years now. Notice, I said "finish anything".. I've started many things--so many things I'm not even sure what I want to finish. Alas. Anyway, on the non-flash side of things, I am very close to finishing a new revision of my old, dilapidated website, one that will hopefully facilitate more creative works once it is out the door by free up a bunch of time.
I did want to mention that I managed to finish one creative piece up over the weekend, a parody/splicing of the Cloverfield trailer titled "Cloverfluff." I chose not to put it on Newgrounds because it was done completely outside of flash, and the file is too large for NG to have any decent video quality, but I still wanted to share it with you guys!
Watch it here for the full experience: Cloverfluff on RG3
Those of you with you with YouTube accounts who feel like commenting/rating, you can watch it here as well: Cloverfluff on YouTube
I'm not even sure who will read this since I haven't made myself known in such a loooong time, but I really have always been here; just more as a viewer than an author as of late :(

Possible to buy paid account for just one person on my team?SOLVE
New Member
04-06-2018 03:34
Hi all, I have a question about upgrading. I have one active salesperson on my team, and two other accounts (one for me, one for a partner). My salesperson needs me to upgrade his account to the paid version, and I'm happy to.
What I can't tell is whether I'd have to spring for the $400/month five-user upgrade, or if I can buy the upgrade just for him at $50/month. The other two accounts (me and the partner) don't need any of the paid features, and we can't justify $400/mo just to gain those features for one user.
Is this doable?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Robert is an honorary graduate of Tulane University, where he built the foundation to his architectural skills that he uses to build his portfolio today. According to the president of MIAL, Robert Ivy is a leading innovator in the field of architecture and his designs are much more accessible to the public compared to many others in the field today. On top of his skills as an architect, Robert is also an accomplished author and commentator as well. Robert even acted as McGraw Hill's editor for a time.
Robert Ivy has received constant recognition over the past several years for his exceedingly impressive accomplishments in architecture. Despite these many honors, Robert doesn't believe he is the best or that there is no room for improvement, which is what keeps him moving forward and earning new titles in his field.
Back in 2009, Robert was nominated for Crain Award as well, which was during his time at another company known as McGraw Hill. His management position at McGraw is what brought him into the spotlight, earning an award for his management efforts at the company. Perhaps one of his most impressive titles yet is Master Architect, which has only been given out seven times and he is the first in this century to obtain the title to show the impact he has had so many people.

Happy almost Friday everyone! I know I know, as usual it has been a long time since my last post. However, since my last post I have packed up my apartment, moved, finished the teaching year and unpacked. Although I have boxes yet to unpack.
This past Monday on my ustream show I created a BOXED NOTE CARD SET. Here are the links to the Ustream there are 2 parts. Part 1 and Part 2 . It took about 3 1/2 hours to complete 10 Note cards and a box. This will make a great gift or just something special for yourself to have cards ready when you need to send a quick note, hello or greeting.
Here are the instructions on the box that is made from 12x12 pattern paper and will hold up to 12 A2 (3 1/4" x 5 1/2") cards and envelopes. (Number of cards is based on cards with a couple paper layers and not with thick embellishments.)
- Use 12 x 12 pattern paper - double sided. If the pattern paper is not double sided first adhere 2 sheets together - back to back.
- Paper design should be non-directional unless you don't mind text or designs being upside down.
- Score paper as shown in above photo first the scores across the top (2" 3" 9" 10") then turn clockwise 90º (1/4 turn to right) and score as shown on left edge of photo. (3" 4" 8 3/4" 9 7/8")
- Trim as shown in photo trimming out the gray sections. IMPORTANT : be sure to leave L and R tabs as shown in photo and mitre these.
- OPTIONAL - using a circle punch make a notch in front flap as shown in diagram
- Burnish all the score lines and lay paper flat again as shown in diagram.
- Put double sided tape along left and right edges of front flap - leaving backing in place (you can use wet glue here but add later - step 11)
- fold both tabs in and add wet glue to tabs in the folded position.
- fold up front flap up and the 2 side flaps up securing the tabs to the inside of the 1" section
- Now the side flaps should be laying on top
- remove backing from double sided tape (or add wet glue to left and right side flaps & be sure glue is only where the front flap will cover the side flaps) and adhere front flap on top of the side flaps
- So the box stays closed you can use velcro or magnets on the box flap. Or you can create a closure using buttons and twine.... or ribbon - however you wish to close it.
My Ustream recordings also show how I created a set of note cards to match the box.
I hope you enjoy making this project as much as I enjoyed creating mine.
Until next time

Skip to comments.Are we dealing with racial mysticism here? (Vanity)
Posted on 04/12/2012 2:37:52 PM PDT by Zionist Conspirator
During the latter part of the nineteenth century a coalition of moralists and social reformers sincerely thought that giving political power to women would eliminate all traditional social evils. After all, men had always ruled, and women were supposedly inherently more moral and more religious than men. Maybe this would fix everything. Thus the push for women's suffrage. And when it was all over, women were just like the men.
I am going to suggest something absolutely outrageous. But it's been knocking around in my mind for a while, and I hope that the example of women's suffrage will show that such a thing may not be unprecedented.
When I was in high school I fell in love with the American folklore anthologies of B.A. Botkin . . . especially the "Negro" folklore (as it was then called). It was the most American (and the most Southern) thing in the world, and an absolute delight to explore. What a wonderful people!
Now I think we all know that Marx's "proletariat" (which meant simply the working classes) has long since been dropped by what we conventionally call "the left" and replaced with the allegedly inherently revolutionary "people of color." This is a radical development which I don't think has been yet adequately appreciated. Unlike economic condition, race/ethnicity is genetic. The jettisoning of the abstract international working class and their replacement by certain chosen ethnic groups is simply not Marxism, despite the continued use of Marxist terminology by the left and the tendency of the right to refer to this as "cultural Marxism." But "cultural Marxism" is not Marxism at all. It is something very different.
Furthermore, I note that my once beloved American Blacks for some bizarre reason have been chosen by the left as the absolute top of the hierarchy of "oppression"--and hence of redemptive world mission. Despite the fact that until about fifty years ago American Blacks were simply rednecks with melanin, despite the fact that they have lived here for four hundred years, despite the fact that their language is Southern American English, they have been anointed by the Left as the most alien, the most "other," the most oppressed people in existence. In conflicts with groups who actually are "other" and even who speak a foreign language the liberals always support Blacks as being somehow more "other" even than actual foreigners. The people one old book described as "the least alien yet most alienated" ethnic group in the population has been made into the absolutely most alien and hostile group in the country.
Furthermore, the status of being "oppressed" has now been detached from circumstances and turned into an almost metaphysical thing. As I understand Derrick Bell's philosophy, Blacks are inherently, metaphysically oppressed. They are oppressed even when they aren't oppressed. Even if they had never been kidnaped or bought and brought to America as slaves they would still be "oppressed." Being "oppressed" is a permanent condition with no connection to anything that has ever happened or that could conceivably happen. The universe has somehow chosen this people to be the ultimate victims of "oppression." But while the right usually focuses on the victimology aspect of this ideology, the pertinent fact is that the whole point of being "victims" bestows on them some cosmic mission of redemption. In other words, they become "the chosen people."
One thing Marx was right about is that ideology is often simply a justification of self-interest. If I want so-and-so, something within me compels me to believe that (coincidentally) getting exactly what I want will serve some vast noble purpose. In the past, white racists excused every atrocity with the excuse that they were protecting "western civilization." Every time drunken whites wanted to "have a little fun" bashing some people in the head or just shooting off firecrackers to scare Blacks, they were actually engaged in the noble, world-saving act of upholding "western civilization."
Now the same thing is happening again. It isn't the opposite thing . . . it is exactly the same. The fact that the roles are now reversed do not make what is happening the least bit "different" from what used to happen.
Now instead of "upholding western civilization," the great ideological justification of doing just what the person wanted to do anyway is the "forward march of history" according to the Hegelian dialectic. If some homeboy wants to bash a cracker for Trayvon, mug somebody, or even slap some white person in the face, it is no longer a selfish desire. Instead "justice" will be served as the universe ratchets forward another notch on the way to the utopia at "the end of history." Sometimes I wonder if the contemporary "left" believes that every single action of every Black American is somehow mystically redemptive. I mean, they sometimes do act as if they believe that every time an "African-American" takes a dump the universe experiences an orgasm. You know, that's really convenient . . . when the entire universe just happens to hinge on your getting whatever it is you happen to want at the moment.
In my opinion, the "class warfare" angle many conservatives harp on simply isn't that relevant. To what is conventionally called "the left," poor whites (especially poor rural Southern whites) are the ultimate enemy . . . not rich Wall Street Bankers. In fact, they seem to regard every dump taken by a redneck as an evil obstruction to historical fulfillment.
So let's begin putting some of this together. A little over a century ago, women were regarded as free of "original sin" and all that was necessary to abolish age-old evils was to give them the franchise. Now it is "people of color" who are immaculately conceived, yet within the hierarchy of this world historical "mission" the apex isn't any foreign group, but the most American, most Southern, and formerly least alien population group in the whole country.
Why should a non-alien population group be regarded as more "other" and more alienated than immigrants from foreign countries who speak foreign languages? Could it be (and here is this crazy idea that just won't go away) that for some reason there are certain people out there who actually seem to believe that darkness of skin pigmentation is some sort of metaphysical mark of righteousness? Is this why the darker native group outranks the lighter-skinned foreigner?
Is this why the left has abandoned poor whites (especially in the rural South) and branded them the Ultimate Evil?
If this is so . . . and I admit it is crazy as all get-out . . . then "the left" is no longer really "left" at all. We are dealing with something else altogether, and calling it "the left" is merely a convention. We are dealing with an ideology that insists that each group's and each person's place along the spectrum of good-to-evil is genetically determined. And the whole idea of "good" or "evil" is something that inheres in one's chromosomes.
Now, in my defense, let me point out that we have FReepers who believe global elites are in league with "Lucifer." Could not global elites have simply hit upon another idea similar to the old moralist/reformist idea that women would save the world? It is certainly theoretically possible. But why? Why would darkness of skin pigmentation become such a central ideological feature? Could it be something so simple and so childish as a belief that all the old associations of "black" with evil and "white" with good might be (like the former participation of only males in the political process) the cause of the world's problems?
As for "people of color" themselves, I believe what we are seeing here is the natural result of an inferiority complex. While that may sound ridiculous at first, I recall to the reader that in nineteenth century Europe two new nations were created among the more ancient nations there who became very aggressive in colonialism in order to "catch up" with nations who had been doing it for centuries. Despite the bluster of those two nations, they had in fact deep seated inferiority complexes. Those two nations were Italy and Germany. (One might also attribute Japan's rapid mondernization and military adventurism after the Meiji Restoration to a similar cause.) I once read a book on Mussolini that made an interesting statement: that the world has yet to learn to deal with people who have been long made to feel inferior when they get the means to assert themselves.
Before closing this speculation, I must admit that not everything in it makes sense. The most jarring example is religion. If "the left" has replaced actual poverty and oppression with skin color as the agent of world redemption, how to explain the fact that its ministers (whether white liberals or those of the "people of color" themselves) seem to be classical eighteenth century European rationalists who have rejected everything supernatural and super-rational? Eighteenth century European rationalism doesn't seem at all natural to "people of color." Yet all the religius spokesmen for these groups might as well change their names to Voltaire. This is something my theory cannot explain.
Still, I am grasping for an answer as to why our liberal news media are agitating, not the poor or downtrodden regardless of ethnicity, but rather the least alien "minority" ethnic group in America as their ultimate agents of "social change." Outside of some vaguely defined racial mysticism, this simply doesn't make any sense.
Does it involve the Magic Negro?
Apparently they're all magic.
And their mojo is more potent than that of Mexicans, Asians, and even little green men from outer space, apparently.
Don't know if you're still around, but here's a ping for your interest.
I hate you. You sneaked in at night, plucked my brain and articulated my own ideas as I never could!
I'm familiar with the "noble savage," but that doesn't explain why the darker skinned non-indigenous (but native-born) American Blacks have come to outrank lighter skinned non-native outgroups in the liberal hierarchy.
The magic negro can't steal another election without getting his biggest fans energized. The Muslim terrorist prefers to have race riots this summer but he might have to settle for less if whitey doesn't play along.
interesting observations
When the Marxists realized that the economic conditions of their precious "working class" were improving and that the revolution [which Marx had never predicted and was only dreamed up by his followers] wasn't going to happen, they had to shift gears. Instead of the capitalists vs. the workers, they adopted a more generic powerless vs. the powerful story line.
In this context, any group which could be claimed to be less successful than another (blacks, women, minorities in general, children, Muslims, etc.) could be lionized as a victim.
You're right. It isn't Marxism. It's what some call "vulgar Marxism" or "folk Marxism." It's actually "desperation Marxism" and it's working all too well for my taste.
I think that noble savage is where it all starts and then it goes into sacred mysticism. Rodney King, O.J., Trayvon, Michael Vick have all been treated like noble savages, forgiven their tresspasses like we forgive those who just don't know, children and cretins, unlike, say, the enemy of the people, who as far as we know hasn't hurt a fly, David Duke, and who'll never be forgiven (for what, I'm not sure, are you?)
Because the less intelligent a populace is, the more easily they can be led.
Its an established fact that, on average, blacks have a lower IQ than whites just like whites have a lower IQ average than Asians.
Race differences in average IQ are largely genetic
Liberals don't want people to think.... they just want them to follow.
BTW, the news media relies on sponsors, and sponsors do regulate what is broadcast.
I'm actually writing my mini thesis on a similar phenomenon. People tend to take anything they consider "certain enough"(or maybe just convinient) as some sort of a priori intuition, as valid and universal as math and logic. People then have an unshakeable beleif in this intuition that no amount of evidence can shake(if not look at you like there was something intellectually or morally wrong with you for not recognizing something so "obvious"). So if a liberal suddenly feels like blacks are eternal victims of oppression, no matter how much you tell them about crime rates, black on black murder rates, single mothers, academic performance, etc, it will always be false or racism because they just took that blacks are good as some sort of ontological necessity.
Unfortunately, since these intuitions do not have the validity math and logic have thanks to experience, we end up with people feverishly clinging to unproven beleifs. And ultimately, since this intuition is based on nothing prejudice, or emotions, or whatever reason, it will come and go as the person fancies or has a sensation of certainty. So while rednecks in the Jim Crow era could do no harm because it was just a necessary logical truth that they always fought for western civilization simply because democrats depended on them politically, now it is an ontological necessity that blacks cannot do any harm, that it is just obvious that anything negative said about any of them is fraud and fabrication, simply because the democrats need them politically.
This also handily explain the trope "A conservative is a liberal mugged by reality". A liberal holds his a priori ethical and political beleifs until he is emotionally uninclined to beleive them out faith, because he got smacked in the face with what he's experienced.
Close, but only half a cigar.
The relevant issue is not really skin color, though that is a reasonable surrogate. As can be seen by Zimmerman's demonization.
The real issue is (to steal a meme developed by the also recently demonized John Derbyshire) the Designated Victim Group (DVG) versus the Designated Oppressor Group (DOG).
DVGs include blacks, hispanics, Native Americans, gays, women, immigrants and anybody else not seen as part of "the establishment." DOGs are of course those who are seen as part of "the establishment," or guilty of supporting it. Rich people, white people, straight white men, southern whites, conservatives, Republicans.
One can obviously switch from one category to another, and which one will be assigned to depends on circumstances. Thus Zimmerman would in other context be hispanic rather than white.
Also the whitest guy around can become an honorary DVG simply by turning on and denouncing other DVGs. To maintain this status he has to constantly get louder and louder in his denunciation, or he will slip back into being a DOG.
There is a poorly defined but implicitly understood ranking of DVGs. In any conflict between two DVGs, one will be demoted to a DOG. Thus, Sarah Palin, a woman, was a DOG when debating Joe Biden, a stereotypical straight white guy.
The root issue is one of being for or against Western civilization. DOGs are, or are supposed to be, against it. Those DVGs who support it are demoted to DOG status and are hated worse than those born into the DOG group. Clarence Thomas, Margaret Thatcher, Sarah Palin, Col. West, Thomas Sowell, etc.
The driving force is one of hating our civilization. Any person or group known or believed to be opposed to it is on "their side." Thus the alliances with the Islamists.
Since support for traditional Marxism was never much more than an after the fact rationale for their pre-existing emotional disdain for western civ, when it fell apart they just dropped it and picked up another: environmentalism, gay rights, feminism, black liberation, etc. One rationale is just as good as another. Also, if they achieve their goals for one cause, they would just switch to another. They will never be satisfied till western civ crashes down.
What interests me is where this hated and disdain for the civilization that has objectively brought greater freedom and prosperity to far more people than any other comes from.
It has been pointed out many times that Marxism is a Christian heresy. Complete with (among other parallels) a primeval Garden, original sin, a suffering Redeemer and a future Paradise.
The Redeemer in Marxism is of course the proletariat. Since the proletariat rejected Marxism and anyway mostly doesn't really exist anymore in the sense Marx used the term, the search has been on for a replacement Redeemer. Women, blacks, gays, transgenders (of all groups!), people on welfare, "indigenous peoples," etc., etc.
Marx based his moral appeal on the fact (according to him) that the proletariat, the only truly economically productive group, supported all other groups by their labor, which was stolen from them. Not a completely irrational position.
The problem for the post-Marxists is that most of their replacement Messianic groups are a net economic drain on society. IOW, these groups are exploiting society economically, not the other way around.
I get an enormous kick out of those claiming blacks are being economically exploited, when there is an enormous net transfer of wealth from whites to blacks each year in this country. Not that this ever seems to bother the post-Marxists, logic and internal consistency not being their strong points.
Very interesting. I am not too familiar with the Nation of Islam teachings, but if I not mistaken, "Minister" Farrakhan espouses that white people are only a sinister deviant form of black people, brought about by an evil scientist in the distant past.
In other words, according to him, yes, dark skin pigmentation is a sort of mystical, wonderful, uncontaminated state.

The back story tells us that Harambe was first built in 1420. This part of town is old Harambe and was the original fort town on the Uvumbuzi River, which not coincidentally means Discovery River in Swahili. This river will eventually lead you to the Indian ocean and was a major thoroughfare in the old days. The Portuguese, the first to colonize the area, built a fort here to protect this water way from pirates and the remnants of that fort still exist, though in a different form with the construction of the Harambe Theater area.
When this park first opened, there was still this old turret from the fort. From this turret, you could see life on the river banks. There were still some boats sitting on the bank, but much of the fishing fleet was, the story goes, out on the water. The beach was actually once a popular swimming spot but the currents had taken a turn for the worse and swimming was no longer allowed.
In fact, guests to the park could not go down and see the beach. That is, unless you did the Wild Africa Trek, which went past here. Before the construction of the Festival of the Lion King theater, this was where the trek took guests for "training." It was a a great way to see the details.
A huge thanks to Safari Mike for providing this wonderful background and insight for us! Mike's blog Jambo Everyone is always the "go to" site for Animal Kingdom news and rumors. He can also be found on the ridiculously charming Radio Harambe podcast, available on iTunes.
