The Lost Prince: The Life and Death of Henry Stuart
October 18, 2012 to January 13, 2013
The Lost Prince, is the first exhibition to look at the life of Henry, Prince of Wales (1594-1612), focusing on a remarkable period in British history, dominated by a prince whose death at a young age precipitated widespread national grief, and led eventually to the accession to the throne of his younger brother, the doomed King Charles I. The exhibition marks the 400th anniversary of the Prince's death and will assemble for the first time an extraordinary range of objects associated with Henry, including major loans from the Royal Collection.
As well as paintings, a large selection of drawings, manuscripts, books, armour and other artifacts associated with the Prince will illustrate the extraordinary artistic and creative community that developed under his patronage. Gathered from museums and private collections in Britain and abroad, some have never previously been on public display.
The exhibition will include some of the most important works of art and culture produced and collected in the Jacobean period, including portraits by Holbein, Nicholas Hilliard and Isaac Oliver, masque designs by Indigo Jones, and poetry by Ben Jonson in his own hand.
Brave, handsome, clever, athletic, noble and cultured, Henry embodied all the princely virtues. In his short life he was the focus of great hope and expectation, not just in Britain but in all of Protestant Europe, and his court was the centre of a revival of chivalry and a renaissance in the arts. The exhibition, which explores Henry's life and image, and the extraordinary reaction to his death, will transform our understanding of this exceptional prince and the time in which he lived.

This exploration of Henry's life and image, and the extraordinary reaction to his death, transforms our understanding of this exceptional prince and the time in which he lived. In November 1612, shortly before his nineteenth birthday, Henry, the eldest son of James I and Anne of Denmark, died of typhoid fever after a short illness. The nation was struck by grief at the loss of this most promising prince who, it was believed, would become a king to transform Britain. Unlike his father, Henry was seen as militaristic, ardently Protestant and fiercely moral; he was also a precocious patron of the arts, collecting paintings, sculpture and books, commissioning ambitious garden designs and architecture, and performing in elaborate court festivities. Furthermore, Henry took an active interest in the navy and exploration, sponsoring an expedition to find the North-West Passage and giving his name to new settlements in Virginia. Authors Catharine MacLeod, Malcolm Smuts and Timothy Wilks examine Henry's upbringing and education, his court and patronage, his collecting, and finally his illness, death and legacy, and question traditional assumptions about the prince. The book showcases some of the most important works of art and culture produced in the Jacobean period, including masque designs by Indigo Jones, portraiture by Robert Peake and Isaac Oliver, poetry by Ben Jonson and music by Thomas Tompkins and William Byrd. Also featured are exquisite inlaid armour made for Henry, garden designs, renaissance bronzes, old master paintings from his collection, books from his library, and a selection of manuscript letters and writing exercises in Henry's hand.

There are currently around 1,000 looked after children and young people across Scotland and all sorts of reasons why they need foster care.
Sometimes it's because of a family illness, relationship problems or a family breakdown. Other children may have faced a situation where they needed to be protected.
Our foster carers come into children's lives when they're needed the most, and offer them the support and nurture they need to build a brighter future.
Many children in care have experienced neglect and physical, emotional or sexual abuse. All of them will have faced loss and separation from their birth family. As a result they'll probably feel rejected, lonely and confused. Some will be withdrawn and find it hard to move on with their lives, while others may act aggressively.
That's where you come in. As a foster carer your patience and understanding can help these children to overcome issues from their past. By staying calm under pressure and showing compassion during difficult times, you can help them to thrive.
When you foster with us you're never alone. We'll provide you with the best training and support possible.
We're here for you, so you can be there for them.
To talk to one of our friendly fostering advisors about joining us call us on 0141 646 4805 or fill in our online enquiry form.
If you would like some more information to help you decide whether fostering is for you all you need to do is contact us.
Call us on 0141 646 4805 (lines open Monday – Friday: 9am – 5pm)
Fostering a child or young person is a big decision so we're here to answer any questions you may have. Our friendly fostering advisors can talk you through everything you need to know about becoming a foster carer.
Outside of these hours please call 0800 434 6000. Freephone lines open Mon to Thurs – 5pm to 8pm.

Believe it or not, it's been a while since I posted a kale salad (the horror!). When I'm busy, a lot of salads take the form of quick bowls, which I'll assemble based on what I've got leftover or in the fridge. The idea of washing and chopping and massaging kale doesn't feel nearly as quick or easy.
That said, kale salad is one of my favorite things. It's the recipe that got me to try and ultimately to love kale, which until that point had struck me as a little bitter and tough. It's a perfect salad for busy folks, because unlike a lot of salads, it keeps very nicely for a night (sometimes, in my experience, even for two). The sturdy texture of kale holds up really well to all kinds of salad ingredients, from roasted vegetables to nuts and seeds to legumes and grains. And somehow, kale salad always feels a little more substantial than a mesclun or romaine or arugula creation.
This is one of my favorite kale salads yet–and that's saying a lot, given how long I've been blogging all things kale. It's got so much umami and saltiness, thanks to the tofu feta (which contains a nice amount of miso) and sun dried tomato slices. This is also a great recipe because the tofu feta is worthy in its own right. You can use it anyplace you'd normally use feta, be that in a pasta salad dish, a grain salad, a traditional Greek salad, a tofu or chickpea scramble/frittata, a pizza, a stuffed mushroom dish…the options go on and on and on. The longer you marinate the tofu feta before serving, the saltier and more flavorful it'll become, so allow at least six hours (and do it overnight, if you can).
A small note about the sun dried tomatoes in this recipe: there are a couple of types of sun dried tomatoes. Some are dry (not marinated) and tender. Some are dry and quite tough, and they need to be rehydrated. I do this by soaking the tomatoes in piping hot or boiling water for 15-30 minutes, or until they're tender, before drying and using. You can also purchase marinated (oil packed) sun dried tomatoes, which often contain garlic or herbs. I'm not too picky about which types of sun dried tomatoes I use, but for the most part, I try to work with the dry ones, because the marinated variety can sometimes add too much extra dressing or garlic/herb flavor to dishes. If you use the dry kind, you can control flavor and texture a little more carefully.
That said, if you've got a jar of oil-packed, sun dried tomatoes at home, feel free to use them in this recipe. They'll work just fine–you may simply need to adjust the dressing quantity as needed.
Kale Salad with Tofu Feta, Sun Dried Tomatoes, and Lemon Hemp Dressing
For the Tofu Feta:
- 1 14- ounce block of extra firm tofu drained, patted dry, and cut into cubes
- 3 tablespoons white miso
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice about 2 lemons
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 small clove garlic finely minced or grated
- 2 heaping tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the Lemon Hemp Dressing:
- 1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds
- 1 small clove garlic roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dry oregano or 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice more if you like your dressing very tart
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
For the Salad:
- 10 sun dried tomato halves preferably dry, not oil-packed
- 1 large bunch curly kale stems removed, leaves washed, dried, and finely chopped (about 7.5 ounces after you de-stem and prepare the kale)
- Prepare the tofu feta. Whisk together the miso, lemon juice, and vinegar (you'll have a thick, smooth paste). Add the water and whisk till smooth, then whisk in the garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Place the cubed tofu in an airtight container (preferably one that's wide enough to allow tofu to rest in a single or double layer) and pour the marinade over the tofu. Shake to distribute the marinade over the tofu, then cover the container and transfer it to a fridge for at least 4-6 hours (preferably overnight).
- If your sun dried tomatoes are tough, rehydrate them by soaking them in boiling or piping hot water for 15-30 minutes, or until tender. Chop them and set them aside (this step isn't necessary if your tomatoes are tender enough on their own).
- To prepare the dressing, blend the hemp seeds, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, lemon juice, water, and oil together in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Transfer the chopped kale to a large mixing bowl. Dress it with about 2/3 cup dressing, reserving extra dressing for salads or grain bowls. Massage the dressing into the kale with your hands, being sure to coat everything thoroughly. Add the sun dried tomatoes to the salad and mix them in.
- Drain the tofu feta cubes of extra marinade. Crumble the feta over the salad. You can use all of the feta if you like, or use about half of it and save the remaining half for additional salads, pasta dishes, or the like. (I used about 2/3 of the feta in this salad). Mix everything well and add a sprinkle of salt, if needed. Divide into bowls and serve.
I can't rightly end this post without mentioning how much I love the hemp dressing! I feel as though it's similar to a lot of other dressings I've made, from my cashew lemon dressing to my creamy hemp basil sauce. Still, one can never have enough dressings, right? I know I'll be making this one again and again. If you like, you can omit the olive oil from the recipe–I almost always add some oil to kale salad recipes because it does such a great job of helping to soften the kale.
Paired with a cup of cooling summer soup (my easy summer gazpacho, maybe, or my raw tortilla soup), a cup of hearty whole grains, or perhaps a baked sweet potato, it's a perfectly balanced lunch (or light dinner). From a nutritional perspective, it's also worth saying that the combination of greens, hemp, and tofu makes this salad protein-packed!
On Thursday, I'll be back with a new Green Recovery story. It's wonderfully honest and humble, and I hope you'll tune in.

What better way to start my day than to find I've been given the One Lovely Blog Award from Krista, at Thar She Sews. Not a bad way to start a Wednesday. Thanks Krista!
Now let me tell you how it works. I have to share 7 things about myself that you don't know. Hmmm...it's like going around a get-to-know-you-circle having to say something unique about yourself...and drawing a blank. Uhhhh...I like to sew?!! haha, I think it's safe to say you already know that about me.
Anywho, here's my feeble attempt at sharing a little about me with you, my circle of friends.
1. I've always secretly wanted to be a meteorologist. Without the math, of course. During graduate school I audited a meteorology class so I could learn more about weather. I'm crazy about clouds, rain, storms, tornadoes, storm chasing...I own many weather videos and books. I'm a weather nerd.
2. I studied Family and Human Development in college and graduate school. My intention was to be a counselor. However, after getting a job with an elementary school, I realized how much I loved working with elementary school children. I work for an after school program right now, but may look into getting a certification to be a reading specialist.
3. I love cupcakes. All kinds. Don't even get me started.
4. I wish I had a house full of children. Unfortunately, after several years of unsuccessful medical interventions, it hasn't worked out that way. But I'll tell you this. It sure makes me grateful I get to spend life with my sweet husband and fun times being an auntie.
5. I finally started texting a few months ago. haha I know, I'm a little behind the times. I'm not as cool as those with iphones, but my new phone does have a flip-out keyboard. And I'm not afraid to use it!
6. I love writing songs and music. I've been doing it all my life but have finally gotten the courage to put them out there. You can listen here if you're curious (the vocals aren't me, just the music).
7. I watch the Bachelorette. haha I know it's total cheese wiz, but I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff. Each time a new season starts I tell myself I'm not going to watch it but it's inevitable that I get sucked in. Every time.
Whew! Now you know more than you ever dreamed of knowing about me! But isn't oversharing what the internet is all about? haha. Anyway, moving on.
Now, my favorite part. I get to pass on the love to new bloggers I've found recently, that I'd like to know more about:
Drum roll please...
These lucky 10 can put a copy of the One Lovely Blog Award picture on their blog, with a list of 7 things we don't know about them and pass the love on! Can't wait to hear from them! :)

The last week of September and that always is such a great time of the year - as October creeps up and Halloween starts to peer its ugly head around the corner. And for us at G1988: LA, that means it's the last week of Luke Chueh's Inferno and the rumblings of Alex Pardee's "Hiding From The Normals" are starting to be heard. I have seen a bunch of the paintings and I can genuinely say that Alex has created quite the universe for Halloween. I think it's a total no-brainer that one day Alex will be professionally designing horror characters for Hollywood (especially after his time with "Chadam" at Warner Bros. SOMEONE PUT THAT OUT!). Excited for you guys to see what he's coming up with. In the meanwhile, we'll be doing an exclusive t-shirt with Alex and director/writer Michael Dougherty for "Trick R Treat," the DVD/Blu-Ray release we'll also be celebrating with our friends next door at Golden Apple. These shirts will be super limited and released the night of the opening reception (Oct. 6), so get them while you can. Here's a tease -
Don't tell anyone I showed you yet.
Also, artist Brandi Milne is getting into the Candy Corn guzzling spirit with a print release on her website (CLICK HERE for that).
The print is called "Something Wicked" and it's a hand-signed and numbered edition of 50, at 11.5 x 11 inches on archival picture rag. AND the first 50 orders get a free bonus print (seen below).
Pretty good deal and again, we're down for anything promoting the Halloween spirit.

On the one hand, I still haven't completely given up on the prospect of having been Philip K. Dick in my last life. The semblances in personality are pretty uncanny, as I've prattled on at length about over the last two and a half years.
Lately though, I've been getting flashes of another life in England that I believe may have ended some time between 1940 and 1955. Very brief ones, and only two so far, both featuring a beautiful woman. I believe I was a man of some means, refined, passionate, and suave, but died in my prime.
This is problematic because this is an awful lot like one of the characters from my most recently published book. I'm reluctant to believe anything that too closely resembles the suave, dapper, debonair mid-century British aerospace engineer I conceived in my book, who was born in 1901 and has a vision in 1946 that reveals that he will die in 1957 (a bit longer than the life I keep seeing, but only by about 14 years). On the other hand, the character was so convincingly written that I may well have been drawing from a deeper well of personal experience.
Maybe it's nothing. The woman I saw looked a little too much like some fantasy from a Hollywood movie, wearing this sleek 40s high fashion dress and coming out of the fog as I listened to Jussi Bjorling's rendition of "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot, a song that could very well have been the soundtrack of a Hollywood movie.
None of this has the feel of verisimilitude I got when I tried on Phil as a past life identity. It feels like the creation of my own romantic mind, and not the sad, painfully ordinary and constantly fearful man I saw myself as, peering fearfully through blinds at unmarked cop cars in the early 70s. There was nothing romantic about being Phil as I remembered it, and anything that smacks of more romance than the life of an impoverished writer- the only reality I've known in my present adult life- seems both presumptuous and wishful thinking.
About the only reason I have to give this latest flash of the 20th century the benefit of the doubt is because I hadn't actually been trying to dig up past life memories lately. I felt like I was trying too hard and I had walked away from it. This flash was spontaneous and unexpected. Still, something about it doesn't pass the smell test.

A Springtime Road Trip To Louisville and the American Printing House for the Blind
During the past week, I've been quite the busy professional, traveling from New York to Louisville (pronounced "Loo-uh-vl," as I soon learned) and back again. It's always good – and helpful – to get out in the world and leave my computer screen behind. Even an editorial director (me!) cannot live by words alone.
The business portion of my trip involved my commitments as a member of the Board of Directors of the Academy for Certification of Vision Rehabilitation and Education Professionals (ACVREP). The Academy is dedicated to providing high-quality professional certification in the professional disciplines of low vision therapy, orientation and mobility, and vision rehabilitation therapy.
This particular Board meeting was special, however, because it was held at the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of bourbon, the Kentucky Derby, and the Louisville Slugger bat.
APH is the world's largest nonprofit organization that specializes in creating educational, workplace, and independent living products and services for people who are blind or visually impaired, including accessible books and magazines in braille, large print, recorded, and computer file formats; educational products; independent living products; production of custom accessible media, such as braille menus; and product training seminars.
I think very highly of APH's mission, services and longevity, and I was thrilled to be there. You can learn more about APH's long and storied history at the APH web site.
And of course I brought my camera to document my favorite parts of APH.
The Hall of Fame for Leaders and Legends of the Blindness Field honors, at present, 46 individuals who were pioneers in the blindness field and shaped the field's history, philosophy, knowledge, and skills, while providing outstanding service to people who were blind and visually impaired.
I was in awe as I read the biographies of Dr. Natalie Barraga, whose eloquent writings first drew me into the field; Dr. Douglas Inkster, who gave me my first job; Father Thomas Carroll, whose words still inspire me; and Dr. Ruth Kaarlela, the founder of my profession.
The Wall of Tribute, called "Friends of Leaders and Legends," is located in the Hall of Fame and provides the opportunity to honor an influential teacher, mentor, organization, or historical figure in the field of blindness or visual impairment:
Of course I spent some time (but I must return!) in the impressive Museum, which is dedicated to preserving and presenting the educational history of blind people and the historic contributions of APH to the field:
And what trip to APH would be complete without stopping in to visit with Michael McCarty, the talented web master of Fred's Head blog? Under Michael's expert stewardship, the blog contains tips, techniques, tutorials, in-depth articles, and resources for and by blind or visually impaired people. Great to finally meet you, Michael!
I also learned more about an exciting new navigational product from APH and the Sendero Group, called Talking PC Maps.
The PC Maps software works on any computer and provides spoken and on-screen map data and 12 million points of interest for U.S. states, territories, and Canada on one flash drive.
It is not a GPS system; instead, it gives a verbal description of physical space and provides persons with visual impairments the same information available to sighted persons when they look at maps, street signs, and signage on buildings. (I think my good friend Wojtek in Poland would love that software!)
I thank Dr. Tuck Tinsley III, President of APH, for his generosity in providing meeting space, expert guides, staff support, wonderful food, and personalized braille bourbon labels for our ACVREP President Garett A. Holm - an excellent use of functional braille, wouldn't you agree?
I also urge our readers to become acquainted with APH's high-quality and innovative products and services for adults and children who are blind or visually impaired. I highly recommend Dr. Tinsley's fine organization.

Daily Update [Day 30]
|6 Feb, 2015 - 7:13 PM by Josy
|This article contains information about tonight's (Friday 6th February) highlights and LIVE Final show.
Here are the details of what happened in the house yesterday...
All stories, even twisted Fairy tales, must come to an end and so it is with Celebrity Big Brother January 2015.
Its the eve of the final and after issues with her recent breast surgery, Big Brother has organised for Katie Price to leave the house so she can attend a medical consultation. Having told the other housemates about this, Katie tells Keith she feels like there is an atmosphere in the house and that people are talking about her. She feels like they would all prefer if she did leave the house for medical reasons as it would mean better chances for the others. Katie Hopkins walks in and tells KP that she hasnt been here since the start so she doesnt need to stay till the end anyway. Katie Hopkins returns to the bathroom and tells Michelle and Calum what she overheard. She says that she is putting a TV show before her health which is wrong.
Keith and Katie reason that some of the Housemates might want Katie to go so they can come fourth instead of fifth. Keith says: If someone is saying that or feeling that, thats wrong. Katy says: I sense it, when really weve all made it to the final. Katie talks about the possibility of winning and says: Id never, ever win it but imagine if I did. Id get absolutely crucified by everyone, wouldnt I?
Ironically, in the bedroom Calum, Katie Hopkins and Michelle are talking about Katie Prices late entry into the house. Michelle says: She came in ten days late and avoided a big chunk of the battle ground, she hasnt done anything! Calum says: I feel so robbed dude. Michelle adds: Right, but she does have a legion of fans that have brought her in here to the end, for doing nothing! Katie Hopkins says: She didnt even jump in on someones side when someone was being a complete kn*b. Michelle adds: If she came top three it would kill Cheggers and I or whoever.
Katie Hopkins says of Katie Price: Shes used to turning up, being Katie Price then going home and being this person and it turns out this person is just thick, not that funny and obsessed by her boobs still, has her priorities all sorts of wrong places and doesnt know much English.
Big Brother has laid on a dinner for the finalists. Keith begins the toasts by addressing all of the Housemates I came here for a journey and its turned out to be a real hell-hole He raises a glass to all of the Housemates and finishes his toast with: I will not forget the bad times but Ill certainly remember some of the fantastic times weve had.
Calum is next to toast the Housemates. He describes his time in the House as a mad experience, with some seriously awkward and twisted times, met with some brilliantly, funny, hilarious moments. He goes on to say the great friendships he made in the House have made it easier to get through the awkward, sick moments of which there were many. He concludes his speech telling the Housemates he is grateful and thankful of what is to come, so thank you everybody.
Michelle stands up and toasts Katie Hopkins, admitting: I came in here ready to rip your head off because you know I dont see eye to eye with the way that you think out here and the beautiful thing is, I dont have to because I saw who you were inside. She finishes by saying: You will talk **** and I wont support it but I will always support you because you are amazing.
Katie Price states her toast will be short but sweet like me. She sums up her crazy, whirlwind three weeks in the House. She adds: Its like Ive been in a tumble drier and now Im coming out the end.
Katie Hopkins is the final Housemate to make her toast to the group. She says that coming into the house was a real risk because there is a Katie Hopkins that everybody else knows on the outside that was booed and Im grateful that youve all been so generous with your time and generous with your understanding She tells the Housemates that she has been able to be just me. The Housemates raise their glasses for the final time.
The Housemates have all come to the Diary Room together. Michelle talks about the experience for those who have been there from the start and Katie Price retorts that they need to get over it now and are having another dig at her. The Housemates laugh and Katie Hopkins says were having another argument.
The house action ends as quotes from the series play out under shots of the Housemates light box images on the living area wall.

Of Fried Chicken And Green Beans
Last night, I dreamed I was riding my dog, Lucy, through a small Italian village and came upon something that would completely change my life, reducing stress and increasing happiness: fried chicken growing in stalks like green beans!
Like many, I struggle with my diet and being from the South, I truly enjoy most any fried foods, so discovering delicious fried chicken that is also a vegetable gave me great hope!
Unfortunately, I woke up to the harsh reality that fried chicken only provides temporary joy, with potentially awful long-term effects.
The same can be said of much of our financial lives. From delaying an insurance overhaul after a life change to subscribing to fear or euphoria in your investments, it's very easy to choose joy or safety today in unknowing exchange for unhappiness later.
Fortunately, there's a simpler solution for our finances than my personal fried chicken challenge.

This the probably the first time that the government has allotted temporary accommodation to residents of collpased builings in such a short period on humanitarian grounds. They are expected to move into their temporary new homes within a day or two, even as the residents of Altaf Mansion building in Mahim, which collapsed in 2011, are still awaiting for similar aid from the government. It has been four long years since the displaced families from Mahim have been living either on rent or with relatives. Also, the builder is yet to start the reconstruction work.
In the Ghatkopar case, some of the displaced families are reluctant to move into the temporary accommodation as it is "too far from their area". "We were waiting for temporary accommodation since days, but they are shifting us to distant areas; we don't want to go there," said Lalchand Ramchandani (67), who lived on the fourth floor of Siddhi Sai building. He had a close shave as he had left for work a few minutes before the crash.
"The government tried to provide them temporary accommodation in Ghatkopar itself, but it wasn't possible. So, the government is allotting them houses in other areas," said local MP Kirit Somaiya. "All the relief fund promised by the state and central governments has already been distributed to most of the survivors. We are also taking help of the NGOs associated with our party to reconstruct the collapsed building at no cost."
It was alleged that local Shiv Sena politician, Sunil Shitap, had made structural changes in his three ground-floor flats causing the Ghatkopar building to crash. The BMC had allowed change of use for the ground floor to be used as a nursing home. The committee, appointed by the BMC chief to probe the incident, is expected to submit its report before August 25.

Very tasty yet dangerous craft brew from Raleigh NC
This beer is bone dry with very little fruit to mention. Traces of white pepper, with lots of that white bread yeast going on. Full on Wonder Bread in a glass.
It's a great effort at a classic Belgian style of brew that happens to be produced in my neck of the woods
Highest rated beer on the site and at less than $10…. Whhhat !
"A limited edition beer, brewed only once. When it's gone – it's gone."
Age-old expertise and the combination of pale malt, water, hop and yeast lend Leffe Blond its subtle taste and golden colour, which manages to catch and reflect the light.
"Behind the full golden color you'll find an alluring aroma, a dynamic complex of flavors, Belgian flair, Brooklyn fortitude and a dusting of our special yeast."

article by Lauren Victoria Burke via theroot.com
At noon Wednesday, members of the House shut it down—all the way down.
In a historic act of protest, Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives refused to observe the regular order of the House, staging a sit-in protest over the lack of legislation on gun control.
The protest Wednesday occurred after House Republicans ignored several demands from House Democrats to take action on guns after 49 people were murdered in an Orlando, Fla., nightclub June 12. Their first demand came during a moment of silence for the victims of the mass shooting after Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) attempted to ask Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) if action on gun-related measures was possible. Ryan gaveled Clyburn down.
Wednesday's effort was led by civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and featured several members of the Congressional Black Caucus who have had to deal with continuing gun violence in their districts. The group included Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.), who represents parts of Detroit; Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.); and several others.
"This is the right thing to do, when you look at the polling data and it shows that 90 percent of the American public says we should not allow terrorists to be able to walk in a store and buy a gun and kill 50 people," former Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) told The Root steps away from the House floor. "We don't lose on this. The Congressional Black Caucus did lead this."

Life Insurance through your Super Fund
If you have a superannuation fund, there's a high chance you already have Life Insurance. That's because your super fund manager usually has to include it. In fact, statistics show that 83% of Australians with a super fund have accepted the default cover provided by their fund.
The Life Insurance included in your super fund comes in three forms:
If you make a claim and it's approved, you'll usually receive a lump sum payout.
How does Life Insurance work through your Super Fund?
It's simple. You'll pay your Life Insurance premiums using the money accumulated in your super. Even better, those premium payments are generally tax deductible.
Getting Life Insurance through your super fund is usually more affordable than a stand-alone policy. If your employer has organised the fund, you may get a group discount. But this usually only applies to the minimum standard of cover and may not meet you or your family's needs.
Life Cover
In the unfortunate event of the policyholder's death or terminal illness (with a prognosis of no more than 12 months left to live), their family or beneficiaries will receive a lump sum payment.
Significant tax benefits apply when you take out general Life Insurance through your super fund, because premiums are tax deductible. This applies to all three types of Life Insurance cover.
Total and Permanent Disability Insurance (TPD)
If you became permanently disabled and were unable to work again, TPD would provide a lump sum payment to cover the cost of rehabilitation, settle current debts and support the cost of living for you and your dependant.
Income Protection Insurance
Your superannuation fund may also provide you with Income Protection if you were unable to work due to serious injury or illness. Income Protection insurance will provide you with up to 75% of your regular income for a period of time until your payments expire or you're able to work again.
As with general Life Insurance and TPD, Income Protection premiums paid through your super fund are tax deductible. If you made a claim and were provided with Income Protection, the payments made to you would be taxable.
Find out more about Income Protection insurance through your super fund.
Benefits and disadvantages of buying insurance through super
|It is cheaper since policies are bought in bulk
|The levels of cover can be limited
|You can pay your premiums even if money is tight
|Tax may be payable to some benefits
|It's easy to manage since premiums are automatically deducted
|If you don't nominate a beneficiary, your super fund decides who gets your payout in the event of your death
|You're unlikely to need a health check
|There can be delays in the payout of your benefits

Basalt paraplegic gets doggie donation
EL JEBEL – Every dog owner knows what a bummer it is when a canine companion starts wearing out and winding down toward the end of its life. It's particularly tough for owners of service dogs.
Amanda Boxtel, of Basalt, has had a golden retriever named Tucker at her side 24 hours per day, seven days per week, for 10 years. As a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair, Boxtel is able to have Tucker with her at all times – even on airplane flights and in hotels.
"He's the love of my life," she said.
But Tucker has been hit with a bunch of medical maladies and age-related problems. His hearing is fading, his back legs are "going," and he recently required surgery. He is receiving acupuncture treatments from veterinarian Cindy Wallace to ease his pain and maintain his appetite, but Boxtel is realistic.
"I don't know how long Tucker will be with us," she told a crowd of about 15 people at the El Jebel City Market on Wednesday.
Boxtel is a motivational speaker and co-founder of Challenge Aspen, a renowned organization that assists people with disabilities in outdoor pursuits. Boxtel was paralyzed in the lower part of her body in a 1992 skiing accident.
City Market and dog-treat maker Milk-Bone are teaming up to make sure Boxtel won't be without a canine companion for long if at all. They teamed to provide another service dog from an organization called Canine Assistants to Boxtel. The Georgia-based group trains dogs for one to two years and then pairs them with a prospective owner in a two-week boot camp. She will travel to Georgia in October to find a new companion.
Few in the audience could help tearing up as Boxtel recapped how Tucker has helped her over the past decade and how powerless she feels as his condition deteriorates. She thanked Milk-Bone and City Market for providing the funds that will help her secure another service dog next year.
Training one of the special dogs can cost more than $20,000, according to by Canine Assistants. The organization currently is training 33 dogs to assist owners with disabilities thanks to Milk-Bone's "I Give" program, in which it teams with partners such as City Market.
While sad to see Tucker inch toward retirement, Boxtel is eager to get a new companion. She is determined to find another golden retriever.
"The blond leading the blond," she quipped.
Tucker lay at Boxtel's feet, as he is trained to do, for most of the 30-minute presentation. The puppy emerged from the old dog when he was given a soft, bone-shaped chew toy. It kept him entertained throughout the end of the ceremony.

Supporters of Derek Johnson ask for leniency, point to his dedication to community, family
Many members of the community wrote to laud the former Skico executive and city councilman for his friendship, dedication to family and community-minded spirit over more than two decades in Aspen.

When the Bengals lost left guard Clint Boling to a torn ACL last season, they slid Andrew Whitworth over from left tackle and were rewarded with strong run blocking the rest of the way.
That left them with a decision about where to play Whitworth in the future. Anthony Collins, who took over at left tackle, is set to be a free agent and Boling's outlook for the start of the season is unclear, leaving the Bengals with several options about how to proceed. Whitworth says there haven't been many discussions about his spot at this point, but he knows which position he'd be playing in a perfect world.
"I'd prefer to play left tackle. I'm a long, lean-lever guy without thick arms or legs. I'm built to play tackle," Whitworth said, via Geoff Hobson of the team's website. "I feel like that's where I'd like to stay. That's not a firm thing. It's just what I would prefer."
Hue Jackson's ascension to offensive coordinator has come with talk of more focus on the running game and Whitworth's work at left guard last season would seem to make him a good fit in that spot moving forward. Should Collins return to the team or the Bengals pick up another left tackle possibility this offseason, that spot might belong to Whitworth for the long term.

white sandals • Rubi
"Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony." ― Coco Chanel, Chanel
White makes you appreciate the absence of things or the minimal details. Most of us were taught to think that it symbolizes defeat or innocence which are perceived as signs of weakness. But it is actually very solid and strong as it is an equal combination of ALL the colors of the visible light spectrum. It is also one of my current obsessions as of the moment. Just a quick post to share a random thought as I am currently swamp with tasks. Hope you all had a lovely day!

Ngong House
A calm oasis in the hustle and bustle of Nairobi, Ngong House is a small, quirky lodge situated within four hectares of private land, in the Karen/Langata area of Nairobi city. It aims to provide a welcoming overnight stop either at the beginning or end of a Kenyan safari. We have not been able to contact Ngong House for a while, and we believe it may currently be closed. Please ask us for further information.
Continue reading our full report on Ngong House
Our view of Ngong House
Overall, Ngong House is an interesting and unique property which is great for travellers wanting something a little different for their time in this hectic city. That said, the nightly rate is up there with some of the most expensive in Nairobi, and while the property is certainly very well run – it isn't quite as luxurious as some of the other options available at similar prices.
Ngong House is located within 4 hectares of private land and is a calm retreat from the city.

These sometimes come up on the exam – so don't forget about them!
Direct Proportion
If two quantities are in direct proportion then when one increases or decreases the other increases or decreases by the same percentage.
On a graph this is shown with a straight line through the origin: y = kx
Inverse Proportion
As one quantity increases the other one decreases.
The equation and graph for this is y = k/x
Other Proportions
Proportional to can be shown by the symbol .
Examiners might throw in some nasty looking proportions so here's some examples of what you might expect.
y is proportional to x squared -> y x²
y is proportional to x cubed -> y x³
y is proportional to the square root of x -> y √x
y is inversely proportional to x cubed -> y 1/x³
In an exam you will probably need to change the proportion into an equation to work something out. To do so just change the proportional sign to an =k – here's some examples to show you what we mean
y x² becomes y = kx²
y x³ becomes y = kx³
y √x becomes y = k√x
y 1/x³ becomes y = k/x³
So What Sort Of Question Will I Be Asked On This Topic?
Let's take an example!
Example: y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 12, y = 3. Find the constant proportionality and find x when y = 8.
First write down the proportionality. Here it is inverse proportion so
y 1/x
Replace the sign with an =k
y = k/x
You can then manipulate the equation like normal
So xy = k
Put in the values from the question
3 x 12 = 36
So k = 36
So the constant proportionality is 36…so now you can find x when y = 8
8x = 36
so x = 4.5

Edible Geography explores the exhumation of whole trees in a new post called "Rootstock Archaeology."

A Cordon of Hives
[Images: From The Elephants & Bees Project "Beehive Fence Construction Manual" (PDF)].
Designing for humans, insects, and elephants at the same time, University of Oxford zoologist Lucy King has developed "the honey fence system," Edible Geography explains.
[Images: Via The Elephants & Bees Project].
A honey fence is "a series of hives, suspended at ten-metre intervals from a single wire threaded around wooden fence posts. If an elephant touches either a hive or the wire, all the bees along the fence line feel the disturbance and swarm out of their hives in an angry, buzzing cloud."
"By encircling a village with a cordon of hives," we read, "the village's crops are protected."

It's an old debate, but with Joey Barton reportedly having his Glasgow Rangers contract cancelled by mutual consent, it is one that keeps popping up on forums.
Barton, who arrived on a free from Burnley, has not played since early September because of his disciplinary issues.
If he is available, as expected, would he be worth a punt for Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce?
Forget the off-field misdemeanours for now though, and consider this.
Would you want Barton at Villa?
Should Villa look to sign Joey Barton?
The facts
Barton is a bloody good footballer, and he doesn't get enough credit for it.
With a career average rating of 7.22, he is no mug.
Recent seasons at Marseille, QPR and Burnley have been very strong indeed and his contribution to each has been quite noteworthy.
There are discipline issues, plenty of yellow cards each season and five reds in his career.
He is an intelligent footballer though, and a leader.
He demands hard work from the players around him and never slacks with his own work ethic.
He is a relentless force in the middle, in a similar way that Robbie Savage was, although arguably not as good a player.
What he gives a team is desire, passion, and energy.
He is a decent passer of the ball and reads a game well.
Steve Bruce came out with one of football's funnier quotes when asked about Barton receiving a red card for striking Tom Huddleston in his nether regions.
Bruce simply said: "You can't go around punching people in the knackers can ya?"
In short, Bruce is no mug, he knows the reputation, the pitfalls and the risks.
He also knows that bad eggs can be motivated and turned into an asset, but would it be an unwelcome distraction?
You would have to think that Bruce would not go actively looking for such a headache.
Villa have signed Mile Jedinak to add some meat to the midfield, would they want another enforcer?
An enforcer with more baggage than the belts at Birmingham Airport?
Bruce will want a culture of discipline at Villa after last season.
The last thing he will want after the much publicised off-field issues the club have had, is another player to upset the equilibrium.
In truth, Villa have had better chances to sign Barton in the last few years.
At time when he may have been able to help stop the rot.
Alex McLeish was a fan and wanted to sign him, only for Randy Lerner to tell the Scot that he didn't want the midfielder at the club.
Very much the wrong time all round now.
There is no doubt he would be a player that would add something to the midfield though.

Iproteos, in collaboration with the group of Prof. Javier Meana, from the University of Basque Country and CIBERSAM, and Prof. Giralt, from IRB Barcelona, has just published an article at European Neuropsychopharmacology. The paper, entitled "The prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitor IPR19 ameliorates cognitive deficits in mouse models of schizophrenia", describes the efficacy of a novel procognitive drug for the treatment of Cognitive Impairment Associated to Schizophrenia (CIAS).
Iproteos has closed a funding round of 1.5M €, led by Caixa Capital Risc and with participation of Kinled Holding, a Hong Kong based investment company with offices in London, New York and Zurich, and the biotech Ascil Biopharm.
The city of Barcelona will host the 27th CPhI Worldwide. The event, that will take place on 4th-6th October 2016, is an excellent scenario for networking in the pharma business. More than 36,000 professionals will attend CPhI Worldwide, fact that contributes to make this event one of the most important shows for pharma industry and a must attend event. The key pharma sectors are represented, including ingredients, APIs, excipients, finished dosage and contract services among others.
Iproteos will attend next BIO Spain that will be held from the 28th to the 30th of September in Bilbao. Teresa and Laura will participate in the partnering event, promoting the science that is being carried out at Iproteos. Specifically, one of the objectives of Iproteos is to build partnerships around IPROTech, a platform for the discovery of innovative drug candidates.
Iproteos has launched its second equity crowdfunding campaign to raise 250,000 euros through the Capital Cell platform in order to complete the preclinical regulatory phase with their compound IPR19, one of the few drugs being developed around the world to stop and reverse the cognitive deficits of schizophrenia (CIAS). The first round, launched in June 2014, was the first in the Spanish biotechnology sector.

Warhammer and Warhammer 40k Interuptions
We have heard this through rumors before, but this time we have a copy paste section of a product brief sent to retail stores. It basically comes down to this, that Hobbit releases will not impact Warhammer or 40k releases, and will instead be on top of normal releases that are planned.
This is excellent news and comes from a product brief on the Hobbit Strategy game. Just to be clear, I have heard from certain sources as well (and could not release the info) that this was indeed the case, so this is very much written in stone and I consider this a verification of the rumor, and one I have been given permission to share.
via secret squirrel from the Faeit 212 inbox
I get to see product launch briefs when they come out and one thing jumped out at me from the hobbit product brief, I've pasted it below;
"We will continue to support Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 customers by launching new products every month. The Lord of the Rings releases historically replaced Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 sales. This time, any Hobbit releases are on top of our existing Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 plans."
So, to all the people who say "they should concentrate on 40k and not waste any months on LotR" can go to sleep happy as there will be a 40k/WFB launch every month next year and the hobbit will just be extras on top.

In the world of food, there are a few widely accepted meccas of cuisine. When it comes to sushi, I feel all can agree that Japan stands at the pinnacle of what can be achieved by a lone sliver of raw fish. Now I know I caused a bit of a ruckus with my post claiming to have found the worlds greatest pizza. While I won't repeat the mistake of speaking for others again, I must share with you, the finest sushi (In my opinion) I have had the opportunity to sample. Sukiyabashi Jiro, located in the Roppongi Hills neighborhood of Tokyo, forever changed what I thought I knew of sushi. I have had some extremely fine sushi here in the states, the likes of Nobu, and Masa, both of which I had the pleasure of sharing with my esteemed colleague. However, Sukiyabashi Jiro trounced them both with ease. Located on the backside of a nondescript office building, among various other shops and convenience stores, Sukiyabashi Jiro carries none of the flash of many high end sushi joints in the States. As with many other things in Japan, this restaurant allows itself a subdued elegance which is reflected most noticeably on the food. Now for a little background of Sukiyabashi Jiro. The original restaurant by the same name (albeit with two more Michelin stars) located in Ginza, is strictly off limits to foreigners without a Japanese escort. The chefs make a daily pilgrimage to the Tsukiji fish market to scout the freshest catches of the day. Upon returning to the kitchen, each fish is placed in a special refrigerator kept at a specific temperature to ensure the highest quality. Now while I wasn't able to visit Jiro-san's, the old man didn't leave me hanging, luckily he had a son, Takashi, who opened up his own Sukiyabashi Jiro. What welcomed myself and a good friend upon entering was a modest, well designed room, a fine wood bar with ten stools, Takashi and his assistant.
I can't describe the peacefulness of the room, no dance music blasting from the sound system, no trendy decor, no roar of the hip crowd clamoring for their negi-toro rolls and bamboo's of YK-35. No, just me, Matt, the chef, and his wonderful array of fresh fish. Upon being seated by the hostess, we were immediately brought two glasses of cold sake and a moist towel. The anticipation for what was to follow was almost too much for the two of us to handle. We had been eating practically nothing but sushi since we set foot on Japanese soil (as per the vow we both took not to eat anything but Japanese fare), but we knew this was something special, the chef knew we were in for something special, and I like to think he knew we'd appreciate what he was about to bestow upon us. No menus, the chef already knew what he was going to serve before our reservation had been made, no this was strictly omakase or "it's up to you" in Japanese. This style of dining usually begins with the lightest pieces to the heavier, richer pieces. Now before I get into the fish itself, allow me to diverge a bit. This dinner was on our last night in Japan, so up to this point we had gleaned some important lessons in Japanese dining etiquette.
#1. Nigiri is to be eaten with your hands unless presented on a plate from the sushi chef. We learned this at a previous meal when the chef gestured to pick some pieces up with our hands, and some with our chopsticks. The moist towel is to clean your fingers after each piece.
#2. If you are given soy sauce, always lightly dip with the fish side down. It is considered bad etiquette to leave pieces of rice floating in the soy sauce dish.
#3. Nigiri is meant to be eaten in one bite. In Japan I noticed the pieces were much smaller than here in the States.
#4. Wasabi is placed on the fish when the chef prepares it, no need to mix any in with your soy sauce. No little green ball sitting on your plate, this is the fresh stuff, grated right in front of you.
This may sound unnecessarily rigid, even snobby. I found that it lent an elegance and order to the meal, which ended up feeling more like an sacred ritual rather than just another fueling. At Sukiyabashi Jiro, the chef even took care of the soy sauce for us, using a small brush he would lightly coat the fish with soy sauce to accentuate it's flavor while allowing it to be the main event. Now for the fish, and since I felt it might be a little disrespectful to bring my huge camera to document our momentous meal, I wasn't able to get any pictures. However, my food blog colleague at Luxeat was kind enough to share her images, as they illustrate more or less some of the treats we had.
Very nice light Hirame (Fluke) to start us off with a light brush of soy sauce. After our first bite, we realized that the quality of fish we were experiencing was above and beyond anything we've had before. Each piece was as tender and succulent as the finest piece of toro here in the States.
A wonderfully pearl-like Ika (Squid) was sweet and tender as could be.
Awabi (Abalone)
Chutoro (Medium grade fatty tuna) This stuff was ridiculous, I thought I loved toro before, but my goodness! The chefs at Sukiyabashi Jiro lovingly led us through all three grades of toro. These cuts of tuna were of the highest quality available. The flesh would literally, and I mean literally, begin to melt as it hit your tongue. At the end of the meal they asked if there was anything else we'd like to have again, I don't think I need to tell you what I asked for.The only thing I regret is not having a photo of the Otoro. I do have a toro picture from the place we hit up just a few hours after landing in Japan, so that'll have to do.
Now I had had Uni (Sea Urchin) before. But I hadn't HAD sea urchin until I had it here. Everywhere else I had tried it, it was always very briny. Here, it was almost dessert it was so sweet. I equate it to the finest whole foie gras, but even more velvety, with the most amazing mouth feel. After taking a culinary tour of the most delectable morsels the sea has to offer, it was a sad moment when we finally had to say our sincere thank yous and goodbyes to the chef and hostess, who seemed just as thankful to us for visiting them. This meal is easily in my top 5 best ever in my life, and as my colleague mentioned in the Joël post, it was great to share it with one of my best friends. So to anyone planning on traveling to Tokyo in the future, I highly suggest you make a stop at Sukiyabashi Jiro in Roppongi Hills, the rice alone has the power to move you on an emotional level.

For the second time this season, former Middle Tennessee baseball standout Michael McKenry has been recalled to the Colorado Rockies from AAA Colorado Springs.
McKenry was called up from the Sky Sox on Wednesday after hitting .313 with six doubles, three homers and 12 RBIs in 23 games. Last week, McKenry and Colorado Springs had made a stop in Nashville.
The 29-year old is making his second stint with the Rockies. In eight games for Colorado, McKenry went 4-for-19 with 2 doubles, one RBI and two runs while starting five games at catcher. In 201 career Major League games, McKenry has hit .222 (125-for-562) with 34 doubles, 17 home runs, 65 RBI and 53 runs.
He spent the past three seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, but made his major league debut with Colorado in 2010. McKenry got the call up on Wednesday, as catcher Jordan Pacheco was designated for assignment.
McKenry hit .390 with 13 homers and drove in 68 runs as a Blue Raider in 2006, which at the time was the third-highest single-season RBI total in Middle Tennessee history.
The Rockies open a nine-game home stand on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Colorado hosts the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game bout this weekend before closing out the homestand with four games versus the Atlanta Braves.

A recent visit to Atlanta, where I was a juror at the Margaret Guthman New Instrument Design Competition held annually at the Georgia Institute of Technology, got me thinking about the contraptions we use to turn musical ideas into what we hope become meaningful, moving sound.
Over two tightly compressed days, the other jurors and I – my colleagues were Pat Metheny, the jazz guitarist, and Marcelo M. Wanderley, a professor of music technology at McGill University – heard demonstrations of 24 instruments. It was clear that an incalculable number of hours went into these creations. Some were astonishingly clever and some clever but flawed.
One entry, the Electric Mbira, by Josh and Wes Keegan, brothers from Colorado, was an update of an ancient African instrument (also called a kalimba) using modern materials and machining to make it reliably tunable – unimportant for traditional kalimba players but crucial if you hope to graft this instrument's lovely, tactile sound into a Western ensemble – and electrified to give it access to modern effects processing.
Some instruments, like the Spiral of Fifths, built by Ruben Dax Sonz-Barnes, addressed conceptual or technical problems that musicians – particularly fledgling musicians – have in the real world. A small, round MIDI-controller, the instrument has 36 buttons and a joystick, and is sectioned into areas representing each key, with related keys together and distant keys, well, at a distance. Because the sections are identical, transposing is not an issue – playing in F-sharp major (with six accidentals) is as easy as playing in C (with none); and the key layout is meant to make improvisation easier: If you wander into a distant key, you've done it deliberately.
Others imagined an entirely new, more balletic (or at least, kinetic) approach to music making. Leo Bettinelli's Stimulierte Emissionen Klingen is a large frame in which laser beams and photoresistors create a red-glowing grid. When the player breaks the laser beam, a sound is heard. Performers (several can play it at once) look like they are playing a large futuristic harp, and because the kind and quality of the sound is determined by the computer program the player is using (with different sounds plotted through the grid), a performance might sound like a symphony orchestra, a percussion ensemble or, perhaps, many qualities of brash noise.
Similarly, Greg Beller's Sound Space, Andreas Bergsland and Robert Wechsler's MotionComposer and the Mi.Mu Gloves, the latter a sophisticated corporate product (no inventor was listed) that is already being used by Imogen Heap and Ariana Grande, all use motion sensors to allow musicians to "place" notes in space and then grab, touch, hit or point to them in order to bring them to life during a performance.
It was quite a wonderland, and it was tempting to envision a musical universe in which some of them were adopted – meaning taken up by significant numbers of players who would develop standard performance techniques and repertories of works composed with their sounds and physicality in mind.
But seeing and hearing these creations led me to wonder: Is inventing and marketing a new instrument really the way it works? Since the time of Adolphe Sax, who invented the saxophone in 1840, it has been. The late Robert Moog, one of several pioneers of the consumer-level synthesizer could have attested to that, too. But we have no idea who invented most of the instruments of the Western orchestra. Most evolved slowly over the last 500 years. Flutes were given keys, horns and trumpets acquired valves in comparatively recent times, and stringed instruments have seen numerous refinements – but at their cores, these instruments are what they were centuries ago.
Strangely, the refinements have largely frozen: It is as if their late 19th-century versions have been deemed perfect, which makes sense, given that the repertory of that period has been frozen as the zenith of the style. Having become a museum culture, the orchestral world is fully in preservationist mode. So listeners' (and musicians') desire for new sounds has partly been sated by turning the clock backward instead of forward. Now 17th- and 18th-century versions of the orchestra's instruments (as well as keyboards) are now standard for performances of pre-Romantic works.
Composers seemed happy to write for the 19th-century orchestra until relatively recently, but they have gradually been forcing orchestras to update, adding electric guitars and keyboards to their scores, writing concertos for electric violins or trumpets and adopting electronic sound. Young composers have embraced the laptop as an instrument, and many would no doubt snap up some of the instruments shown at the competition.
But they might also warn instrument builders about instant obsolescence. Both hardware and software mutates quickly these days, and composers who rely on computers have horror stories about works being rendered unplayable not long after they were created. Kaija Saariaho made precisely that complaint in a pre-concert talk at Zankel Hall a few seasons ago.
In the end, we awarded our top prize to what may have been the most low-tech instrument in the competition. The winner was the Golf Club Sitar/Tabla by Ken Butler, a visual artist from Brooklyn who fashions his instruments from urban detritus – the models he showed were built of old golf clubs, tennis racquets, hockey sticks, canes, kitchen knives and shovels, yoked together in various peculiar combinations but always with an electric instrument pickup affixed somewhere so that the instrument's sound can be sent through effects pedals and amplified.
Butler's instruments are whimsical pieces, and he considers them art works first, instruments second. But they offer what Metheny, Wanderley and I all regarded as extraordinary possibilities. Each had a surface that could be drummed on as well as at least one tunable string meant to be bowed or plucked. In his demonstration, Butler used the instrument with a looping pedal to create a percussion and bass backdrop, against which he played a spectacular improvisation that, to the ear, seemed to transform his instrument into a sitar, a rock star's guitar and a Baroque virtuoso's fiddle.
Some of the more high-tech entrants, who considered Butler's work less serious than theirs, were incensed at our decision to give Butler the $5,000 top prize. But he is serious: He has built 400 of these strange instruments and sold 100. And we felt it was important to take into account not only the technology but also what a gifted musician could do with the instrument. Butler's improvisation was the most dazzling and truly musical performance we'd heard.
Instruments may be simple or complex, ancient or newfangled, intuitive or ingenious, acoustic or power consuming. In purely visual and tactile terms, some are beautifully proportioned finished pieces of art; others are more utilitarian bang-around pieces. What they have in common is that they are inert until we pick them up and play them.
The great violinist Mischa Elman, who was renowned for his warm rounded tone, found an amusing way to make that point one evening when he was receiving well-wishers backstage after a recital.
"Oh, Mr. Elman," one enthusiastic woman said, "I just love the sound of your violin."
"Really?" said Elman, lifting his violin case to his ear and looking puzzled. "I don't hear anything."

June 17, 1996, Section C, Page 14Buy Reprints
Robert Colescott, a painter whose bright, crowded figurative images satirize race relations in America, has been chosen to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale next year. Mr. Colescott, who is 71 and lives in Tucson, Ariz., was selected by the Federal Advisory Committee for International Exhibitions, which is part of the National Endowment for the Arts.
Proposals were solicited nationwide from curators and museums of contemporary art. Susan Stirn, a spokeswoman for the Arts America Program of the United States Information Agency, said Mr. Colescott was chosen from 17 applicants. He is the first black artist to represent the United States in a single-artist exhibition at the Venice Biennale and the first American painter whose work is to be shown in the United States pavilion since Jasper Johns in 1988.
In the years since the Johns show, the selection committee has made a conscious effort to alternate between traditional painting and sculpture and less conventional kinds of art, and to include female artists. The United States was represented solely by a female artist for the first time in 1990, when the committee chose Jenny Holzer, who works in electronic art forms. The French-born sculptor Louise Bourgeois was chosen in 1993. Last year the American representative was Bill Viola, another artist who employs electronic multimedia.
Mimi Roberts, formerly chief curator at the San Jose Museum of Art and now an independent curator based in Santa Fe, N.M., will organize the exhibition in Venice. It will include about 24 of Mr. Colescott's paintings done over the last 10 years.
Mr. Colescott's work is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Hirshhorn Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

For more than two decades, the Cambridge diet is a favorite weight loss program among overweight individuals. The diet plan, which developed in the Cambridge University, has a global following. This is essentially a calorie-restricted diet that relies on low calorie intake as the key to weight loss.
Cambridge diet plan
The Cambridge diet or Cambridge Weight Plan comprises of certain weight loss diet foods or Cambridge diet formula such as shakes, porridge, bars and soups containing vitamins and minerals in balanced proportions. According to the creators of this diet program, having three servings of the diet formula each day will meet your regular nutrient requirement without supplying extra calories.
Dieters might start their weight loss program by taking Cambridge diet formula, which will provide them about 415 to 500 calories per day. The daily calorie intake could be increased gradually as you start melting the excess fat deposit in your body.
Very low calorie diet
In a very low calorie diet plan, the dieter should take four servings of Cambridge diet formula and 200ml of skimmed milk each day. This very low calorie diet should last for at least one week. The maximum duration of the very low calorie diet plan should not be more than 12 weeks. This is followed by a week long 800 calories diet plan, comprising of three servings of Cambridge diet formula, skimmed milk, protein rich foods and vegetables.
You can gradually increase your calorie intake to 1000 calories per day by having two servings of Cambridge diet formula along with salads and skimmed milk. After attaining your desired body mass index, you can adopt a lifelong 1500 calories diet plan that will help to restore your normal body mass.
The prepackaged food products are nutritious and delectable. Dieters could either add water to the soups and shakes or snack with ready-made protein shakes or bars to meet their energy requirement. While following the Cambridge Diet plan, the dieter should drink at least eight glasses of water. You should avoid alcohol. Caffeine intake should be limited. However, dieters could enjoy herbal teas. People suffering from health disorders should consult their physicians before adopting the Cambridge diet plan.

Water from the Well
Reflections on Being a Jew at the End of History
By Rebbetzin Holly Pavlov
Why is life such a struggle? Are we struggling today more than ever before? Or do we just feel like our struggles are greater because we have lost a sense of why we are struggling? Why does Hashem send us tests?
In her book, Water from the Well: Reflections on Being a Jew at the End of History, Rebbetzin Holly Pavlov attempts, through classic text study, to answer questions Jews grapple with each day
The follow up to her first book, Mirrors of Lives: Reflections of Women in Tanach, Water from the Well reminds us that the Torah is our guide and our greatest resource in dealing with personal challenges. The book looks at periods in Tanach when our patriarchs and matriarchs were particularly challenged and depicts how they dealt in times of crisis. Giving specific examples, the book examines how each figure had something in common—a shared vision that their struggles were necessary in order to give birth to the Jewish people.
Water from the Well emphasizes that our forbearers were always looking beyond themselves and realized they were part of the bigger picture. Ironically a book about life struggles, starts with a chapter on laughter. Pavlov points out that throughout history, Jews have been known for their sense of humor and ability to laugh at themselves and the world around them. She examines the various meanings of the word through the story of the first Jewish child, Yitzchak.
Other topics addressed are: What was David HaMelech's struggle? Why were Yosef's brothers ashamed? Laughter, yearning in exile, faith in G-d, freedom of choice, and footsteps to Mashiach are just a few of the themes illuminated in this brilliantly crafted book on the Avos. In this book we learn that through the unique experiences, struggles, and triumphs of our Avos, we can gain inspiration and find practical guidelines for living our lives as Jews in today's complex world.
Mirrors of Our Lives
Reflections of Women in Tanach
Mirrors of Our Lives offers a magnificent tapestry of insight and inspiration, gleaned from the rich lives of the Matriarchs and other Biblical women as portrayed in traditional commentaries and the Midrash.
Rebbetzin Holly Pavlov's book, "MIRRORS OF OUR LIVES" reflects women in the Tanach. contains deep and intellectually stimulating ideas and concepts that are brought down to the practical level to guide one's day to day living. I highly recommend this book….." Rabbi Zev Leff, Rav, Moshav Matityahu
"Mirrors Of Our Lives: Reflections of Women In Tanach is a book that will give the English- speaking public a deeper understanding of the foundation on which our nation is built"- Rabbi Chaim P. Scheinberg, Rosh Yeshivas Torah Ore

text: The smallest member of the genus Crypturellus, Small-billed Tinamou is a widely distributed bird of savanna habitats, including cultivated fields, which is found across much of the interior of Brazil, as far as southeast Peru (where it is very local), as well as into northern Bolivia, Paraguay, and northeast Argentina. Small-billed Tinamou is extremely similar to Tataupa Tinamou (Crypturellus tataupa), but is smaller with a stubbier bill, and a shorter tarsus, both of which are pale red. Plumage differences between these two species are slight and even less easily divined in the field. Compared to many tinamous, this species is relatively well known, although the only robust breeding data are from studies made in captivity, wherein Small-billed Tinamou lays 4–5 pale olivaceous-chocolate eggs which are incubated for 19 days.

I have just had a coaching session with Dan, a recruiter who lost $60K this month in withdrawn offers. He was devastated as you can imagine. We got to talking about what he could have done to avoid this. The plain and simple truth was both situations were out of his control. He had done everything he possibly could do to control the process with both clients giving verbal commitment that offers were coming and then changing their minds a few days later.
He asked me for ideas on how these blows might be less devastating in terms of reaching his target and I got to thinking about how he manages his numbers.
Let's assume for a moment that on average you lose 1 in every 5 offers to a counter or conflicting offer. That means that you need ensure that you have enough in your pipeline that the loss of one fee is not life and death to meeting your target.
I explained how I used to work on my desk. I always ran at least $20K in fees more than I needed to from live opportunities to ensure that I always met and exceeded target each month. I also worked a month ahead of everyone else. So for example, if you invoice on start date then you should be closing your quarter at the end of this month (May) not next (June). Make sure that you have enough "closeable" jobs covered in your pipeline so that you have reached target for this quarter at the end of May.
How do you ensure enough "fillable" jobs in your pipeline? Increase your activities!
Always look at your target as the minimum you need to attain as opposed to the maximum. That way, if something goes wrong, you will still have enough in your pipeline to meet target and won't be in the situation Dan currently is in with not enough starters invoiced this quarter to meet his target.
Start today thinking about next quarter. How many jobs need to be filled to reach target + 20K?
What is your average fee?
What are your fill statistics? ie. How many jobs must you work to fill the number required?
What job coverage do you currently have on those jobs? ie. how many candidateCV's have you sent out and how many client/candidate interviews have your organised?
What actions do you need to take THIS WEEK to increase your activities?
Need some help getting and staying focused, then why now consider a coaching program with me.
