Hello all, Excuse me novice for dropping in into so highly specific discussion. As it happens, I have to relate on human's kindness for getting some more info in the labyrinth of abbervs ;-) I am a project co-ordinator with some (sound but rather dusty, as it turns out) IT knowledge from the pre-Internet era. Presently, I am interested in setting up and proposing to my management a project for hosting a repository for trade documentation schemata conformant to the UN/CEFACT recommendation for trade facilitation (http://www.unece.org/cefact/trafix/bdy_recs.htm). The idea is to create schema equivalents of the worldwide unified trade documents some of which carry responsibility and material interest by their mere existence, form, signature, holder etc. Most of them are, in paper, more or less unified by the efforts of the respective industries, governments erc. grouped in national specialised bodies called PRO commitees. The Bulgarian PRO commitee considers the implementation of these standards in such schemata for Bulgaria, thus creating the Bulgarian 'forms' to fill in for e-trade. When I started to study the subject few months ago I was convinced that XML Schema is a shiny new technology that will replace DTD and focused on studying the details of it. Now maybe it's time to ask a question or two to people who really know: 1. Can you give me an idea which technology - XML or DTD - is in your opinion better to use for this specific need with regard to the repository's comlpexity, and why it's better? The DTD/schema should be a lite version available even for small businesses with elder PC who use some shareware parser and, of course, hosting it should cost us as few as possible ressource in equipment, software, maintainance etc. On the other hand, it is desirable to be maximally foolproof with regards to the contents allowed for each defined tag, and maybe using one or other technology is important in this context. 2. How does a DTD/schema repository work - is it a kind of secure web server free for viewing, or it has to have other features implemented (and what kind of features)? Any idea about how much time and ressource its implementation and maintainance costs? 3. Ideally, if there already exists such trade schema/DTD repository known to you that could be extenden/internationalised or otherwise used, can you give me a link? 4. Any hints as to which specifications are relevant to the DTD vs XML Schema discussion and where to find some background reading on it? Same for repositories and their implementation. Thanks a lot in advance for helping me in the jungle of info. Kremena Gotcheva http://www.bcci.bgReceived on Friday, 21 September 2001 12:18:14 UTC

Storm left big platform upside down
It's not clear if the Typhoon can be salvaged
Chevron's Typhoon platform was no match for Hurricane Rita.
The oil and gas natural platform capsized in the storm, drifting 70 miles.
Tugboats have secured the upside-down platform, and Chevron is investigating what caused Typhoon to topple, according to spokesman Mickey Driver. The Financial Times incorrectly reported the structure was rammed by a Noble drilling ship, he said.
Chevron would not comment on whether it could salvage Typhoon, but some energy analysts have already written it off.
Typhoon, which was owned in conjunction with BHP Billiton, started pumping oil and gas in 2001 and was expected to have a life span of five to eight years. It had the capacity to pump 40,000 barrels of oil and 60 million cubic feet of gas a day, but with its fields in decline, it was producing only half that amount.
Bruce Jefferis, managing director for Aon Natural Resources, said it is too early to put a dollar figure on damage to offshore Gulf of Mexico operations, but the insurance brokerage firm for energy companies has spent days listening to horror stories.
Jefferis is predicting insurance rates will soar and repair costs will quickly outstrip those of Hurricane Katrina and last summer's Ivan.
"Our estimate is that it will be bigger ... particularly the drilling fleet," he said.
In Rita's pathWhen Hurricane Rita took a last-minute turn, veering north and east to spare much of the onshore energy infrastructure along the Houston Ship Channel, it barreled straight through one of the most prolific oil and natural gas production areas in the Gulf before slamming into the coast and pounding the refining hub of Port Arthur and Beaumont.
Hundreds of production platforms that pull oil and gas out of the ground were in Rita's way in places like the East Cameron Block off Lake Charles.
Several drilling rigs, used to explore for more oil and gas, lost their moorings. They broke loose and drifted up to 100 miles, propelled by turgid waters. Some ran aground. Others are still drifting and will have to be corralled and dragged back into place.
Oil flow stoppedEarly Wednesday afternoon, the Minerals Management Service announced that all 1.5 million barrels of Gulf oil production was still shut down. And 80 percent of natural gas — or 8 billion cubic feet — still wasn't flowing.
Later in the day, oil rose $1.28 to settle at $66.35 a barrel, heating oil gained more than 7 cents to settle at $2.1411 a gallon, and gasoline gained more than 17 cents to settle at $2.3393 a gallon. Natural gas rose $1.251, or 9.9 percent, to a record close of $13.907 per million British thermal units.
GlobalSantaFe found two severely damaged rigs that had been lost, and Diamond Offshore, which drills in deep water, also said two of its rigs that broke loose and were swept 100 miles from their sites had run aground.
"This was almost a worst-case path," Jefferis said.
Insurance rates and daily lease rates for drilling rigs will inevitably go up.
The first business day after Rita hit the Gulf Coast, Anadarko jumped all over the chance to lock in its order for several rigs up to six years in advance. It is a sign that the market could be tight for years to come, Jefferis said.
Insurance issueThe insurance industry had only begun to digest Ka- trina damage when Rita hit.
"Insurance doesn't happen overnight. The rates will climb over the next year as companies go back and buy coverage," he said.
ConocoPhillips said its Magnolia project has minimal damage and should restart shortly. Initial assessments to its three smaller fields in the Gulf show only minor damage.
On Wednesday, Shell Oil Co. did not provide additional information about its deep-water production facilities, but it did say it plans to ship oil from a few fields by barge to land.
The natural gas produced in those areas can flow through a pipeline that has reopened, so no additional flares are needed to burn it off.

Jesus vs. Paul
While wandering around some blogsites recently I ran into Efremsmith.com where Rev. Smith was giving his views on Women in Ministry. What disturbed me wasn't just that he came out on the wrong side of the issue biblically, but that he did so by pitting Jesus against Paul. Here's his thought:
"I believe the bible is authoritative and central for living. Within this belief, I believe the works of God, which includes the works of Jesus, should speak louder than the words of Paul. I don't in anyway negate the words of Paul or them being from God, but these word (sic) of Paul are put in its proper context when put up against and compared to the works and words of Jesus. Why is this important? Because Jesus is God and Paul is not. God speaks higher than God's servants and God speaks thru God's servants simultaneously. This understanding is important in dealing with the issue of women in ministry." (Women in Ministry blog, August 31, 2010.)
Smith is President and CEO of World Impact, and formerly a pastor and regional leader in the Evangelical Covenant Church. He is a widely sought-after speaker, and certainly should know better than to build a view - even partially - on such a deficient understanding of the nature of Scripture.
First, he appears not to understand that the words of Jesus we have in the Gospels were also written down by human authors, just like Paul. We have nothing that Jesus actually wrote. We take the writings of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as fully trustworthy, inerrant, and infallible because we believe in what theologians refer to as the "dual authorship" of Scripture. All scripture finds its creative source in the breath of God, even as he used human authors to write what he originated.
Second, he must have forgotten, or never believed, that all the human authors were divinely superintended by God the Spirit so that what they wrote, using their own ideas and vocabulary, turned out to be a "one for one" with what God had "breathed out." There are no grounds to suggest that the authority of the words of Jesus written by the Gospel writers carry more divine authority than those in the Epistles. God authored them all.
Third, it is to the writings of Paul and Peter that we turn when we argue for the divine origin of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16,17) and the Spirit's superintendency of the inscripturation process (2 Peter 1:19-21). This means our insistence on the full reliability of the words of Jesus written in the Gospels, and their inherent authority, is based partially, but importantly, on the writings of Peter and Paul. If their writings are of some lesser authority, then the whole idea of the inspiration and authority of Scripture is on slippery ground.
Given all this, it is impossible to hold that the words of Jesus in the Gospels carry more weight than the words of Paul and the other biblical authors simply because God authored them all, and the Spirit superintended the writing of them all. All the words of the Bible have God as their origin. The Scripture - all of it! - is God speaking.
What Rev. Smith does here seems small at first. Yet, it is his kind of thinking that allows many to re-imagine the truth of Scripture in ways that are more convenient today, and certainly more attractive to a culture that is moving away from biblical values. The issue of women in ministry is now recognized as the onramp to more radical re-interpretations of Scripture that allow things like cohabitation and homosexuality to be accepted and even considered biblically aligned. The hermeneutic used to affirm female pastors leaves no defense against the inclusion of other unbiblical positions. To believe that Jesus and the Apostles supported the ordination of women to pastoral positions in the church you have to re-interpret the clear statements of Scripture according to a post-modern rubric.
One such rubric is the idea that you can pit Jesus over against Paul. But in order to do so you have to reject the dual-authorship of Scripture, the full inspiration of Pauline authored canonical material, and posit that the words of Jesus are more infallible and inerrant and authoritative than are the "God-breathed-out" scriptural writings of the Apostles. Not only is this theologically uninformed, it is also dangerous. When you start down that road you'll be seeing biblical fidelity in your rear view mirror. Even worse, those who are counting on you to be a faithful guide, teaching the whole counsel of God, will be imperiled by the very leadership they are trusting to lead them in the paths of truth, to the glory of God.
We must never manipulate Scripture to support our own opinions. Rather, we must derive our opinions from the biblical text, and live them courageously and winsomely so that, in all things, God may be glorified and his church strengthened.

We just returned home from a week in the sunshine. We headed down to Arizona for spring break. We even convinced Troy to come with us and bring his work set up since he is working from home until he can walk and drive again. He didn't get to do much besides work, but at least he got fed and wasn't left to fend for himself all week.
We passed a lot of sickness around throughout the week which is always a bummer when you're on vacation. And by "vacation," I mean trip. You don't take vacations once you have children. There were many middle-of-the-night hours spent with each individual child.
But the greatest thing about our trips to the desert is that we never feel a lot of pressure to go out and fit in as much as possible. We hang out at my family's house, where toys are ample, good food is always cooking, routine naps are taken, and afternoon pool dips are made, even despite sickness. It is simple and perfect for our young family.
One little tear.
These little fish lived in the pool when they weren't running fevers.

Verizon HTC One Release Reportedly Inching Closer
The heavily rumored Verizon HTC One release appears to have inched closer to reality as the highly anticipated devices appears to have not only shown up in Verizon's inventory system but it also appears that the device has passed through a Bluetooth SIG certification, signs that an arrival could very well take place in June.
Verizon's May 22nd launch event came and went without an HTC One announcement though rumors of a launch have persisted in the weeks since with the latest pegging the device for arrival before the month of July, sometime in late June. And while a specific date has not yet been revealed, signs are pointing to an impending arrival.
Update: Verizon has confirmed the HTC One, though, no release date is known.
Thanks to a pair of apparent sightings, it appears that the Verizon HTC One could be well on its way to release, perhaps during the month of June as rumors dictate. The first supposed sighting was dug up by PhoneArena who claims that the device has shown up in Verizon's inventory system as the HTC6500LVW or HTC M7. The HTC M7 is the HTC One's code name and it's what the device was known as before it hit shelves at the One. This system update apparently took place on May 22nd, the day of Verizon's CTIA event.
The second sighting is at Bluetooth SIG where a device called HTC6500LVW seemingly just got certified. The certification, first discovered by G4Games, could mean that the device is on its way to shelves in the month of June. The device passed certification today, it seems though the listing seems to have been pulled for unknown reasons.
Neither are definitive proof of an arrival unfortunately but they are signs that HTC and Verizon could have something in the works for later this month. Prior to the CTIA event, there was a lot of whispering, so it came as no surprise that Verizon skipped CTIA for its Viva Movil announcement.
Still, without a photo of the device itself, the release remains a rumor and one that is likely going to torture potential customers for at least a few more days.
The Verizon HTC One is said to be exactly the same as the other models, that means 4.7-inch 1080p display, quad-core processor, Ultrapixel camera and metal design, but it's also said to have Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on board, something that the other devices don't have quite yet.

Transportation and logistics management strategies and priorities for the oil and gas industry.
Transportation and logistics optimization is important in any industry. But in the oil and gas sector, unique financial pressures and logistical demands elevate this priority to a necessity.
In an industry where transporting massive and highly specialized pieces of extremely expensive equipment to remote and sometimes inaccessible extraction sites is a regular occurrence, and where an idle operation can incur enormous expenses for every hour it is not up and running, supply chain optimization and logistics efficiencies can literally make a million-dollar difference.
For oil and gas decision-makers, understanding the critical elements of a sound supply chain management strategy — including considerations for transporting heavy equipment in a timely manner, tracking and analyzing logistics data to make critical deadlines, and appreciating the value of a trusted logistics provider and a robust transportation management platform — is enormously important.
Those who understand the contours of the logistics landscape in their industry will be better able to translate those insights into real-world takeaways they can apply to their own operations, and ultimately ensure a smoother transportation management experience. In other words, not only does a keen understanding reflect on margins, but it also provides the opportunity to build leaner project models to ensure competitive bidding and secure more business on the front end.
In an industry where some operators are seeing revenue down 60 percent or more since last year, there is a renewed emphasis on cost controls. Historically, margins have been high enough to mask a certain level of inefficiency, but today industry professionals are looking for every possible competitive advantage. Oil and gas companies have to be both smarter and more efficient, and one of the best ways to do so is to identify opportunities to operate in a more cost-effective manner.
The best third-party logistics experts provide the kind of guidance and insights that can help oil and gas operators do just that. Access to powerful transportation management systems, capable of full integration with client enterprise resource planning (ERP), provides detailed information about routing, schedules, load requirements and more. This helps anticipate transport needs and facilitate strategic transportation planning weeks ahead of time. Those systems can then engage in dynamic routing and delivery possibilities, determining the most efficient routes and schedules, optimizing loads and potentially consolidating shipments for added efficiencies.
That level of sophisticated planning and integration helps to minimize the costs and inefficiencies associated with empty trips, bobtails (trucks running without a trailer) and dead heads (relocating a piece of equipment without any freight on it). For oil and gas companies that may be working on tight margins, trimming down the transportation burden can make a meaningful difference in the bottom line.
Opportunities for greater efficiency begin at home. In a project-based industry, increased communication between project groups can be the first step to realizing considerable savings.
Successful logistics providers are able to establish previously nonexistent intercompany dialogue. Increasing the flow of information between intercompany groups allows capacity and monies to be used more efficiently. Additionally, some logistics partners can help oil and gas companies conduct manufacturing and yard space studies to optimize the location of equipment and the flow of material.
The best logistics providers manufacturing and automotive best practices to this historically project-based industry, purchasing heavy equipment instead of renting (if the ROI makes sense), and helping oil and gas companies make more informed strategic decisions about storage and transportation — limiting the wasteful and costly practice of relying on a carrier to temporarily store freight and equipment when space is limited.
Oil and gas decision-makers looking to identify a transportation logistics expert with demonstrated oil and gas experience should pay close attention to credentials and proven experience, such as:
Make sure that your service carriers have proper insurance. The value of oil and gas equipment is often underestimated or underappreciated and can easily run into the millions. That level of insurance really thins the herd in terms of qualified carriers.
Track and trace
Because oil and gas transport often means delivering not to a street address but more off the beaten path, the delivery timing and freight monitoring can be tricky. Consequently, using the right track and trace technology is essential. Make sure your logistics partner has a system that uses geo-coordinates instead of a more dated GPS map overlay.
On the service side of the equation, the best providers will commit to delivering a swing engine or other large piece of equipment to any drill site in the world within 24 hours — a formidable challenge that may involve details like permitting, escorts, road closures and additional complications and considerations due to extreme size or weight. The unique challenges associated with international transport, from documentation to inspections and delays, make it essential that your partner has experience in this arena. Make certain your provider has the infrastructure — rigging, cranes and other specialized equipment — to securely and cost-effectively move large and ungainly equipment, and the personnel — qualified drivers who are highly skilled specialists with additional safety training.

Club Overview
Greenhills is a special place with a Member-friendly course, quiet setting, and a strong connection to London.
It's where the local boy made good: London native Rene Muylaert was known for designing numerous courses throughout Ontario, but he was particularly proud to design a golf course in his home town.
Greenhills, which comprises an 18-hole championship course, opened in 1975. It has stood the test of time, nicely balancing challenging greens with roomy fairways as it winds along the banks of Dingham Creek.
Although it's now a wedge from Highway 402, Greenhills is still a peaceful escape into nature among mature hardwoods. The picturesque setting is ideal for weddings and corporate events with facilities that can accommodate up to 150 guests. Greenhills also boasts an active tennis community and winter tennis dome.
It's also common to see wild turkey, deer, herons and hawks at Greenhills. Talk about natural parkland golf!

Editorial Reviews for the English-language edition:
Every child who has moved to a new school or is simply reluctant to start a school year can identify with this wittily drawn and suspensefully told story. From the moment she awakens on the fateful day to the moment she steps into the classroom, Sarah Hartwell imagines the worst. Love's ink-and-watercolor illustrations add humor to Sarah's fears, which range from bratty kids to a police search when she doesn't show up. Mr. Hartwell's reassurances don't seem to be much help. The pictures mirror the jangled nerves and outsize expectations (the double-page spread of a looming, prisonlike school is priceless) everyone faces when they are new, all of which leads to a nifty surprise ending that is a delight. Funny and insightful.

Sarah is hiding under her covers as Mr. Hartwell asks, "You don't want to miss the first day at your new school do you?" From under the blanket she replies, "I'm not going." When he reminds her how much she liked her other school and asks her to think of all the new friends she'll meet, she imagines a classroom where a paper airplane is flying, a boy is pulling his neighbor's pigtail, and another is blowing a gigantic bubble. Mr. Hartwell finally gets Sarah to stumble out of bed, eat a bit of toast, and get into the car where she slumps down into her seat. At school, the principal cheerfully welcomes her and takes her to the classroom where she is introduced as "Mrs. Sarah Jane Hartwell," the new teacher. There is a bit of foreshadowing that Sarah is an adult, but as she is always partially hidden, the ending will come as a surprise to most readers. The ink-and-watercolor illustrations are full of action and maintain the lighthearted tone. A little subplot in the paintings shows the family cat and dog having their own contest of wills while their owner is trying to get his wife up and out. The joke provides a good laugh and children may find it reassuring that they are not alone in their anxieties about new situations.
First Day Jitters which was written by Julie Danneberg and illustrated by Judy Love, makes a great companion book to Wemberly Worried. In the opening pages, we meet a certain Sarah Jane Hartwell, who's in the midst of her own first-day-of-school-related panic attack. Sarah Jane is buried under her covers so far that you can't even see her face. In fact, you have no idea what she looks like until the very last page of the whimsical book, which suddenly delivers a sly and funny twist: Sarah Jane's the teacher.
The Horn BookIn spite of Mr. Hartwell's entreaties, Sarah Jane Hartwell does not want to start her first day in a new school. Like all newcomers, she worries about having to begin again and wonders if there will be nice children in her class. But the ending reveals that Sarah is not a new student--she's the teacher! Lively line and watercolor illustrations bring Sarah's plight to life.

"We have been successful at keeping the consultative approach as part of our core business philosophy," said Art Holmes, PharPoint Research's CEO.

From W. W. Reade 7 September 1872
11 St. Mary Abbot's | Terrace | Kensington
Sept. 7. '72
My dear Sir
I find a passage in Andersson's Lake Ngami p 435 about the tears in laughing which you may prefer to a verbal statement for purposes of quotation— The people in question are Bechuanas—a negro or negroid race.
"The mirth became so outrageous as to throw the party into convulsions many casting themselves at full length on the ground with their hands tightly clasped across their stomachs as if in fear of bursting whilst their greasy cheeks became furrowed with tears trickling down in streams—
At p 470 he says of the same people "Unless it forces tears into their eyes they look upon snuff as "worthless".1
Emerson Tennant in his description of the elephants captured in a corral mentions their shedding tears.2 Gordon Cuming I think notices the same in a wounded giraffe—3 I have seen an African Pack-ass shed a tear on the bit being placed in its mouth for the first time.
Do not trouble to acknowledge the receipt of this but pray mention any point of this kind you wish me to look out for in my reading.
I remain | yours very truly | Winwood Reade

China triumphed in the final over Peru as 40 teams competed in the 2009 Optimist Team Racing World Championship, held midway through the individual Worlds, where 211 young sailing hopefuls are representing 47 nations.
On the first day of team racing, the 40 challenging teams battled for a place in the final stage, with a major surprise as last year's winners Puerto Rico failing to make the cut. After a day's delay, when light and then extreme wind conditions preventing racing, the final stages got underway in rainy conditions. The 12 remaining teams, Malaysia, China, Argentina, Thailand, Singapore, Turkey, USA, Peru, Poland, Slovenia, Brazil and Greece left the shore early for what was to be the final day of the Miami Herald Trophy, the IODA World Team Racing Championship.
The favourites were Malaysia who had remained impressive throughout the championship both in the team and the fleet racing. On the day however they lost to China and then Poland and these two losses saw them exit the competition.
Finally there were just five teams left. Peru, by now the favourites, had advanced to the final but their opponents could be one of four teams: last year's runners up Singapore, Poland, China or Greece. These races were some of the most fiercely contested and were challenging for both the competitors and the umpires. Optimist team racing has become more popular in the last couple of years and the standard of the racing here was probably the highest that we have ever seen. All of these teams can be proud of how far they have come in this competition.
Peru's opponents would now be either Singapore, finalists last year, or China. The race was close, with China finally victorious.
The final was to be the first team to win two races. Both teams had excelled in the light and often shifty conditions, so this was likely to be a race of tactics as they both had equal boat speed. China though seemed to have saved the best until last and they accelerated away from the Peruvian team to score two consecutive wins.
Congratulations team China, the new IODA World Team Racing Champions.

by Zahida Murtaza from Brampton, ON
Aug 3, 13
Whenever I hear the name Stephen Leacock, I am transported, as if on a magic carpet, to a distant land, some forty years ago – to my Grade five classroom, in a small town – in Pakistan.
I was twelve years old. My teacher read a story from an Anthology of English Literature.
It was called: 'MY FINANCIAL CAREER'.
The story, as you know, was written by Leacock. I didn't know that then. I had never heard of him. His sense of humour grabbed my attention. I was charmed by his simple descriptions and by the person he was writing about.
The story described the experience of a man trying to open a bank account and his innocent fears and misgivings about banks and bank tellers.
I was desperate to read more stories written by this author, but I had no way of doing that. Instead, I read the story so many times that I memorized it.
I had no idea where Stephen Leacock lived, or if he'd written anything else. My knowledge of world geography was not sharp at that age. And Canada was definitely not on my radar screen.
In 1971, however, I moved to Canada with my husband. When we bought our first car, in 1975, we used to drive around the Canadian countryside on the weekends. We didn't choose any particular place to go to. We would pack our lunch, stop wherever we liked, and sit and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. One summer morning we took off towards Barrie and kept driving, taking in the lovely green landscape. We stopped near a tiny town. We were looking for an ice-cream store. We started walking around, exploring. We came across a lovely little churchyard cemetery. Visiting cemeteries is something I have always enjoyed. Strange fascination, one might say, but they are just so peaceful and serene. I walked over to one of the graves and read the words on the headstone: "In Loving Memory of Stephen Butler Leacock".
I could not believe my eyes.
Could this be the same Stephen Leacock whose memory I had kept close to my heart since childhood?
Stephen Leacock was Canadian?
It is hard to describe the sensation that went through my body. I had been spiritually connected to someone 11,000 miles away and then accidently discovered him, hiding, in a far corner of the world where I had made my new home. There must have been a reason why I came to Canada, I thought.
I stood there respectfully, taking in all of the graveyard, while at the same time, remembering that classroom in Pakistan. As I looked at his grave I felt Leacock must be smiling mischievously, and with his usual sense of humour saying:
"What took you so long?"

This white Mother of Pearl Rayne has been my GO-TO this summer. I love the brightness it brings to any outfit, and not to mention it goes with EVERYTHING. If you're someone who has trouble accessorizing, this is the necklace for you. It's a no-brainer because you can wear it with everything in your closet!
My magenta Kendra Scott accessories will NEVER fail me. I love this pop of bright color with an all neutral outfit, or even added to a cooler color palette. You can never go wrong!
Surprisingly, I'm wearing this Rose Gold Rayne a lot, too. I wasn't sure how often I'd find myself putting it on with it being rose gold, but it's almost as frequently as my mother of pearl. The rose gold is so soft and pretty and is a subtle addition to bolder prints and patterns.
EVERYONE should have a pop of turquoise in their accessory collection. It compliments everything from neutrals, to navy, to fuchsia, coral and more. The Turquoise 'Harlie' is the perfect size and can be worn long or shorter.
I stack my favorite neutral bracelet with everything. Need I say more?
If you can't make it tonight, you can shop them all here ::

Textures behind the bird concept: Birds: Zeitguised
Few words are available to describe this new piece by Zeitguised. Lead animator Matt Frodsham (featured recently at the blog) contacts the Jellyfish Act to showcase their new short film. Purely conceptual, yet full of un-comprehensive but masterful texturizing. What seems to be a rig of birds, suddenly becomes in surrealist scenarios. From dynamical simulations, to soft foam objects, "Birds", illustrate the capabilities of CGI. Gifted shift of anatomical animation to abstract portraits.
"A lighthearted essay on contextualized characters.
Reconstruction follows deconstruction."

Shahid Hemat Industrial group (SHIG)
The Shahid Hemat Industrial Group (SHIG) arises first in the February 2008 IAEA report recounting discussions with Iran over the procurement activities of the Physics Research Center. In 1988 the head of SHIG was approached on behalf of Tehran University for help in procuring a mass spectrometer for educational purposes. According to Iran, the mass spectrometer was never delivered.
More relevant to Iran's alleged nuclear weaponization efforts, the May 2008 IAEA report cites a March 3, 2003 document from Dr. Fakhrizadeh to to Shahid Hemat Industrial Group (SHIG) management, referring to the "Amad Plan" and seeking assistance with the prompt transfer of data for "Project 111". For more regarding Fakhrizadeh and his role in Iran's weaponization efforts, see MODAFL and notes from the February 2008 IAEA briefing to UN missions.
According to UN Resolution 1737 (2006), SHIG is a subordinate entity to the Aerospace Industries Organization, which conducts research and development on ballistic missiles.

Unions not only factor in the plight of middle class
In his Dec. 10 op-ed, Ron Formisano stated that "inequality in the nation has reached record heights not seen since the 1920s," and that "a prime cause has been the decline of labor unions."
He claimed the result to be "its middle class getting smaller." The inequality he noted had mostly to do with wages, though wages are often affected by inequality in such things as IQ, risk-taking, education, personal incentive and, often, plain luck.
Formisano did not define the middle class. According to PBS in a September 2012 report, both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama (both millionaires) agreed that it consisted of folks making below $250,000. Most others probably would not agree. The government has never defined the middle class, so it actually is what anyone says it is.
According to the federal HHS Department, the poverty level for a family of four stands at $23,550. According to an American Community Survey report in September, the median household income in 2012 was $51,371.
The census is split into five classes, each involving 20 percent of the population. The middle 20 percent of households ranged in the $38,500 to $62,400 category. This group is probably not the middle class, with 40 percent of 310 million in population both above and below it financially.
This is from Time magazine in February 2009: "Today, most middle-class Americans are homeowners. They have mortgages, at least some college education and a professional or managerial job that earns them somewhere between $30,000 and $100,000 a year ... and 70 percent of them have cable and two or more cars. Two-thirds have high-speed Internet, and 40 percent own a flat-screen TV."
Blue-collar, unionized workers also fit that description.
There's been some change because of the continuing recession, but the above seems accurate for working-class families now. The major decline during the last three years is the huge loss of jobs and an unemployment rate that's actually close to 20 percent.
This loss — and consequent middle-class shrinkage — has nothing to do with labor unions, notwithstanding the hundreds of billions of stimulus dollars wasted on non-existent "shovel-ready" jobs presumably designed for union members, Obama's locked-in support group.
Thirty-five percent of the work force was unionized in the 1950s, mostly in private companies. Today, that figure is at 6.6 percent, with unionized government workers at 4.7 percent for a total of 11.3 percent.
It would be much lower if Obama had not bailed out General Motors and Chrysler in 2009, slamming shareholders but protecting union jobs. The government has just made the final sale of taxpayer shares, with $11.8 billion in losses to the taxpayers.
The union decline began when huge numbers of women entered the work force during and following WWII, but between 1967 and 2011 the number of female workers increased rapidly by 343 percent, while the male work force merely doubled to 103 percent, according to Census Bureau and Department of Labor statistics.
Two-earner households meant men alone no longer had to bring home the bacon, consequently did not pursue perks and raises that unions stood for. In addition, women now outnumber men in higher education and are entering professions, not manual labor.
Formisano cited the most unionized and least unionized states concerning middle-class households as realizing 47.4 percent and 46.8 percent, respectively, of total state income — virtually no difference, actually destroying his own argument. The loss of manufacturing jobs has all but killed the economy.
Blame for losing these jobs is equally shared by unions and management, each inordinately greedy and corrupt to the point of pricing U.S.-made goods out of the market, domestic and global.
I belonged to blue-collar transportation unions for decades, mostly as a locomotive engineer, and certainly appreciated union achievements. But I examined the rail on which I operated trains one summer day some 30 or so years ago and discovered it was made in Japan, where there were no iron-ore mines and from where it had to be shipped 6,000 miles at great expense, but still undercutting U.S. steelmakers.
I also lived in Ashland in the 1960s and watched industry giant Armco Steel begin sinking into demise. Technology has played a part, too. I witnessed labor-intensive train crews reduced from five to two men, no matter the length or tonnage of the train.
The prime cause for inequality has little to do with unions.
At issue

Wave Pool presented a two-person show between local artist Amber Stucke and New York based artist Edina Tokodi. Emergence linked these two artist's practices through an exploration of human-plant relationships and dissolving the barriers between nature and art.
Both artists use non-traditional materials to create works that investigate scientific notions of the natural world while connecting environmental studies to human issues.
Edina Tokodi ponders the pedestrian and the value of public art as she creates installation works that integrate ideas of sustainable living by connecting natural materials with an urban environment. In her words, "My work advocates sustainable living and draws attention to the deficiency of nature in daily life. I work with live plants, moss, and other natural/ephemeral materials to accentuate urban dynamics and possible states of renewal."
Amber Stucke is also an interdisciplinary artist, creating sound installations as well as prints, artist books, and drawings. Her most recent body of work explores human interactions with rhizomes. She states, "Rhizome State is a state of mind of becoming rhizomatic relationships to explore the idea, ontology, and uses of rhizomes through an interdisciplinary process interconnecting the study of ethnobotany, local knowledge systems, plant-human relationships, and the imagination."
Emergence was organized by Calcagno Cullen, and was on view at Wave Pool's gallery from March 18th – May 6th, 2017.

Are you looking for canine training tips? Is your dog displaying some bad behaviors? You need to go over this article. Continue reading to obtain some advice for teaching a dog to really be your best friend.
To strengthen your training efforts, you can use a designated verbal command to help your animal understand what your expectations are and when they have been fulfilled. "Yes" is the perfect word to show dogs approval before giving a treat.
To keep your dog compliant with his training, be sure to continue the process well after he has performed the way that you have hoped. Many times, owners feel that since their animals have gone through puppy training, they can just forget about it. Some dogs will revert back to negative behaviors if the training does not continue. Make sure your dog has a regular routine.
Let your dog have more freedom as he or she starts to behave and listen to commands more. The key to a satisfying life for your dog is a balance of freedom and obedience. Just be careful not to overdo it on the freedom initially as it can set your training your dog efforts back.
Teach your dog that no response is required when you say 'no'. Stick to positive training methods, as they can help the most. When you say 'no', your dog isn't understanding how it should respond to you. Because no two dogs are the same, the training you use should work with their needs.
If your dog likes to bark you need to be aware of why they are doing so. Whether your dog barks in response to other dogs, people, certain sounds or something else, it is important to habituate him to this circumstance. Your dog will know the difference and will understand that there's no reason to bark when presented these situations.
Now that you know how easy it can be to train a dog, why wait? Use these tips as soon as possible to teach your dog how to behave. Dogs love to please their owners. All they need is someone to teach them. Get started right away.

Too Faced's new Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection contains everything you need to create a pretty, soft and yes, a sexy natural eye. This kit was created by Too Faced's creative director Jerrod Blandino as the answer to those of use who want to kick natural up just a bit.
This all-inclusive kit includes nine essential shadows that you can use all over the lid, highlighting, lining, defining and even smudging. Plus, the kit contains three very easy-to-follow cards with step-by-step instructions and great application tips. Three different looks can be created, or of course, you can mix or match to your hearts content.
If you have not ever tried any of the shadows from Too Faced, I urge you to give them a try, and I think that this kit is a great place to start. Their shadows are very rich in pigment, so the color you see is the true color payoff you get. The shadows are silky smooth, blend with ease, and last all day.
The Natural Eye Kit is available for $34.00 at Sephora and Too Faced.

Should You Rebrand?
Has business slowed down or you are feeling bored of your brand's look? It can be tempting to want to rebrand and give your business a makeover when you are feeling like this. Even though change is good and often inevitable, it isn't always necessary. When is a good time to rebrand? Well, let's start when it's not a good time.
Reasons you should NOT rebrand
You're "bored" with your current look
Everyone on Instagram in your industry seems to be way cooler than you and you get major FOMO when you see their branding. There's no need to rebrand if you are simply bored with your look or have shiny object syndrome. If business is good and you are attracting the right type of customers resist the urge rebrand.
You want to appear more trendy and current
Speaking of Instagram and FOMO there are lots of trends floating around the internet, just because they are trendy now doesn't mean they will be cool six months from now. You want a timeless brand that will hold up against trends and always stay relevant to your clients.
Your uncle's neighbor doesn't 'like' your logo
Unless your uncle's neighbor is your target audience, his opinion shouldn't hold much weight. For example, you are a personal trainer that targets young women to get healthy and stay in shape, it should only matter what the neighbor thinks if they are your target audience.
That all being said there are some signs or situations when it is a good time to change things up.
Reasons TO Rebrand
You've changed your business name
Let's say you're are a wedding invitation designer "Mary Jo Wedding Designs" but now you want to focus on designing websites and you plan on hiring an employee so you are changing your name to "Mary Jo Web Design Collective". Your rebrand should be targeting those that need websites vs those that need wedding invitations.
You aren't attracting the right type of clients/customers
If you are attracting all the wrong kind of clients or customers, the kind of people that complain about your products being too expense because they don't understand the value or if they just expect you to be their assistant when you want people to see you as an expert, it might be a good idea to rebrand.
You've changed your offerings/products
For example, you're a photographer that takes family and newborn portraits but now you want to focus on more commercial and fashion projects it would be a good idea to think about rebranding to target those new dream clients. (See an example of a photographer I recently gave a shiny new rebrand to here)
So is it time for you to rebrand? Feel free to check out my brand packages and see if they are a good fit for you and please feel free to get in touch!

On 7 July the International Dockworkers' Council (IDC), the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) and the European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF) called a one-hour world-wide strike, from 8 a.m. local time.
Under the slogan "Defend Dockers Rights," the Global Day of Union Action was organised to call for: Improved health and safety in the workplace, an end to job deregulation, respect for bargaining rights and collective agreements, the need for universal labor standards in GNTs, the concerns over automation processes in terminals, and social justice.
Workers at Southern struck again on 21 June in their dispute against "Driver Only Operation" (DOO). One of the strikers spoke to rank-and-file railworkers' bulletin Off The Rails.
There were 65 people at the Lewisham Momentum debate on anti-semitism, Israel-Palestine and the left on 20 June, including a fair smattering from outside Lewisham. I think the most positive thing about the meeting was that it took place.
Despite the world pushing this question on us quite dramatically, there is a distinct lack of genuine discussion about it. There have been relatively few meetings organised about it, and very few indeed – if any – which involve speakers from different points of view.
Moishe Postone, a Marxist writer based at the University of Chicago and author of Time, Labour, and Social Domination, and Critique du fétiche-capital: Le capitalisme, l'antisémitisme et la gauche, was in London in May, and discussed capital and labour with Martin Thomas from Solidarity.
The Socialist Workers' Party organise an annual festival, "Marxism". Although somewhat reduced in size after the SWP split in 2013 over an alleged cover-up of sexual assault committed by a leading member, the Marxism festival is still one of the largest regular events of the UK far left.
Unfortunately, the event showcases everything that is wrong, un-Marxist, and self-defeating about the politics of much of the far left in the UK.
The election of Malia Bouattia — the left candidate for President of the National Union of Students (NUS) — earlier this year has created opportunities for the student left. But also dangers. This article spells out those dangers.
For many years, politics in the NUS has been defined by a ruling Blairite right wing, which negotiates minor concessions from Vice Chancellors and government, while accepting defeat in advance on the big issues: fees, soaring rents, marketisation.
Part eight of Michael Johnson's series on the life and politics of James Connolly. The rest of the series can be found here.
While the Home Rule crisis raged in Ulster, the southern Irish labour movement was about to engage in a class battle of unprecedented militancy.
Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign was the largest mobilisation of the American Left in history. He won more than twenty states and over ten million votes.
His vote total was more than triple that achieved by Ralph Nader in 2000, and five thousand times larger than the votes won by the last Socialist Party candidate for president back in 1956.
And he came incredibly close to defeating Hillary Clinton and capturing the Democratic nomination.
Will there be another referendum on independence for Scotland after the EU referendum? That is now a central focus of mainstream political debate in Scotland. And that spells bad news for socialists and the broader Labour and trade union movement.
At a UK level the EU referendum saw a 51.9% majority in favour of "Leave" on a 72% turnout. In England 53.4% backed "Leave" on a 73% turnout. But in Scotland 62% backed "Remain" on a 67% turnout.

With our new cabins, we will be able to house larger groups who want to use our grounds. We will be able to house more summer campers for overnight camps. We will be able to spread the love of Jesus Christ and continue to be a light for Him in the Chicagoland area.

We desire Manitoqua to be a place where people of all ages come for spiritual renewal, fellowship, and fun, or simply a quiet reprieve from the hectic pace of everyday life. It is our hope to build a spiritual, strong, and lasting RENEWAL COMMUNITY & LEGACY, making a lasting positive difference in the lives of campers.
Would you help us make this DREAM become a REALITY?

60 years ago, Camp Manitoqua became a light for the Chicagoland area
- In 1958...all the cabins were completed costing $30,000 (without heat).
Before the cabins, campers stayed in tents on our grounds.
- In 1967...already running out of space in our cabins, the dining hall basement and upstairs chapel wings were finished to make more retreat room.
- In 1969...year-round, overnight retreats became a reality when the heat was installed in all the cabins.
- In 1993...the Adult Retreat Center and the Oaks were completed to offer more options for adult retreats.
- In 2017...air conditioning units were installed in the cabins.

Julien Brun became the sixth amateur in history to win on the Challenge Tour after securing a nail-biting triumph at the ALLIANZ Golf Open Toulouse Metropole.
The Challenge Tour debutant delighted the sizeable crowd who had gathered at a windswept Golf de Toulouse-Seilh, in south west France, by following in the footsteps of his compatriot Romain Wattel, who won the ALLIANZ Europen Strasbourg as an amateur two years ago.
In an astonishingly mature performance which betrayed very few signs of his inexperience, Brun closed with a round of 70 for a 13 under par aggregate total and a one shot victory over Matteo Delpodio.
The Italian put pressure on his young playing partner with a late birdie to close the gap to a single stroke, but Brun held his nerve in admirable fashion to close with a par and so become the tenth debutant to win on the Challenge Tour.
Brun's win gives the 20 year old from Antibes a place on the Challenge Tour next season but, as he is currently in the second year of a four year scholarship at Texas Christian University, in America, his immediate future remains unclear.
The three-time collegiate champion will make a decision over the coming weeks, but first he will compete in the World Amateur Team Championships in Turkey at the start of next month – before returning to Dallas to catch up on his studies.
He said: "It feels great. I'm a little surprised, I don't really know what to say. Maybe next week I will be able to describe my feelings a bit better, once it's sunk in a little more. I felt a lot of pressure out there, because there were big crowds following me and I really wanted to win.
"Of course I felt nervous, but not as nervous as I did when I won my first tournament in college. I've got a bit more experience now, so I know what I need to do and I was able to carry out my plan very well today.
"The birdie on three was a good way to settle my nerves, although I hit a loose drive on the next hole to give a shot straight back. It was one of those days really, I hit some great shots but also some pretty poor ones, but the main thing is that I managed to get it done.
"The goal now is to go to Turkey for the World Amateur Team Championships, play well there and then have a think about my next move. I've now got a Challenge Tour category for next season, so I've got a decision to make on whether I play or go back to college. I've also got lots of schoolwork to catch up on, so I don't think I'll be celebrating too much!"
Delpodio, whose birdie putt on the last hole rolled agonisingly past the cup, was understandably disappointed to have missed out on securing his maiden Challenge Tour victory after signing for a round of 70.
But the 27 year old from Turin, who is friends with the 2009 Challenge Tour Rankings winner Edoardo Molinari, could at least console himself with the €25,600 winner's cheque – as Brun's amateur status prevents him from earning any money.
That moved Delpodio to 38th place in the Challenge Tour Rankings, and virtually guaranteed him a place in the 45-man Apulia San Domenico Grand Final at the end of the season.
He said: "I gave it my best shot, which is all I could do. I got off to a good start, which made a nice change. I made a few mistakes which could've been avoided, such as the three-putt for bogey on the 12th. But I was really pleased with the way I picked up some shots coming in to put some pressure on Julien. Credit to him, because he played very well and deserved to win. Hopefully it will be my day soon."
Despite two double bogeys on the front nine, England's Eddie Pepperell finished on 11 under par thanks to a round of 68 which was good enough to take third place.
He said: "I'm really proud of the way I dug in and fought hard today, because I didn't play that well. I was thinking a lot about my win in Brittany at the start of the season, because it was really windy that day too. In the end I came up just short, but third is still a lovely result and it gives me a great chance of finishing inside the top 20."
France's Michael Lorenzo-Vera achieved his best result of the season, a fourth place finish after signing off with a round of 69.
