Twitter says it has filed confidential paperwork with the SEC to sell shares but details about the company's financials, including revenues, will not be made public for awhile. Newslook
The fortunes of Twitter's planned IPO could usher in a new golden age for Silicon Valley.
SAN FRANCISCO — #thehypeisback.
Forget Facebook. Drop your Google Glass. Ignore Apple and its new fruit-flavored iPhones — for a day, at least.
With Thursday's filing for an initial public offering — probably next year — Twitter injects some air into the long-deflated Internet bubble. The hotly anticipated filing not only could rank among the biggest tech IPOs but usher in a quick succession of others. Executives at Box, Dropbox and King.com are closely watching — not to mention Square, Twitter creator Jack Dorsey's other company.
Silicon Valley's penchant for re-inventing itself will hit investors, Twitter addicts and public markets in the coming weeks with brute force. And it just might change the mindset of venture capitalists who strayed from consumer tech companies since Facebook's IPO belly-flopped in May 2012.
NEWS: With a tweet, Twitter kicks off next big tech IPO
"VCs see (a huge tech revival in markets) as real," says Marcus Nelson, CEO of social-media start-up Addvocate. "There are legs here. Ironically, the fate of Twitter rests a lot on the fortunes of Facebook, which has seen its stock hit an all-time-high this week as Wall Street applauds its recent successes in mobile ad sales. Facebook's strong recent performance could lift the hopes and hype for Twitter among investors as it gets closer to its first day of trading.
Success on Wall Street won't be as easy as a 140-character tweet for Twitter, however.
The 7-year-old company — which has raised $1.6 billion and has 1,300 employees — dives smack dab into a dicey climate.
Its IPO comes amid a dearth of tech IPOs. Just one in six new U.S. listings this year have been tech-related stocks, making 2013 potentially the second-worst showing in 20 years, according to data provider Dealogic. At the height of the dot-com boom, in 1999, 69% of all IPOs were technology or Internet companies.
The 22 tech-related U.S. IPOs this year — out of 134 — have raised $3.4 billion.
Tech's lag is a clear byproduct of Facebook's disappointing IPO debut in 2012. Before it, Zynga stumbled out of the IPO gate in December 2011. "Facebook was a big, big hope for the sector," says Eric Carlborg, a partner at August Capital.
Twitter could trigger more tech-centric public offerings, including long-rumored IPOs for social-gaming company King.com and storage services Box and Dropbox in 2014.
While valued at $10 billion, Twitter must prove — financially and culturally — that it has the right tech stuff to match that figure on its balance sheet. It has annual revenue of about $1 billion.
For now, however, sit back and let the hype begin.

:: Norwich and Norfolk ::
Norwich is the main centre of the county of Norfolk, the sticky-out bit on England's eastern coast - and, prior to the Industrial Revolution, was variously reckoned to be the country's second or third largest town. Situated 100 miles north of London, it's famed for having had 52 churches and 365 pubs within its walls - and is celebrated locally as "a fine city".... with the quotation, from 1851, actually describing my birthplace as "a fine OLD city", even back then!

Wind, rain uproot trees, cause power outages in Nevada County
December 26, 2012
More than four inches of rain saturated Nevada County's soil over the week, weakening its grasp on tree roots that fell toward homes and power lines when high winds slammed Nevada County Sunday.
But Grass Valley and surrounding areas are expected to see a reprieve from the deluge today with another set of showers expected to come Tuesday.
"We're going to have a little break (Monday) in between systems," said Craig Shoemaker, a forecaster with the National Weather Service.
Reports of power outages came early Sunday morning with small, scattered outages county wide.
Nevada City was particularly unlucky with power outages. Beginning at around 9 a.m. Sunday, 2,443 customers there lost power, according to Pacific Gas and Electric spokeswoman Jana Morris.
Shortly before 4:30 p.m., all but 95 of those customers had power restored. But then another tree caused 2,505 customers to lose power.
Other outages affected customers in Grass Valley, Penn Valley and folks living around North San Juan. That precipitation turned to snow at around 4,000 feet, Shoemaker said.
"Even though you haven't gotten that much snow up there, snow weight on already saturated vegetation is causing limbs to come down as well," Morris said.
A Grass Valley caller on the 13000 block of Winding Way reported a tree had fallen across the power lines and started a fire, according to police dispatch call logs.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m., a caller on the 300 block of North Church Street reported a tall pine tree had begun to uproot and lean toward an apartment complex. By 2:30 p.m., the tree had leaned to a more than 45 degree angle toward the home, propped up by only a cement wall and other trees. Fire fighters and public works employees on scene evacuated the apartment building.
As of press time Sunday, 379 customers were without power in Grass Valley.
Between four and five inches of rain were reported to have accumulated at various monitoring locations in Nevada County with as much as 2.5 inches falling Sunday, Shoemaker said.
Today is expected to be drier, with temps peaking at around 45 degrees.
Showers could return Tuesday afternoon and last through Wednesday, dropping as much as another inch or two of rain, Shoemaker said.
"The heaviest rain will be late Tuesday and Tuesday night," Shoemaker said.
For folks above 4,000 feet, that could mean a white Christmas.

What do you do at your general membership meetings?
It is customary for locals to host a meeting with all their members prior to the start of the school year. Many locals do this the morning of the district's orientation day.
What do you do with your local at this meeting? Here are some possibilities:
1. Each year NJEA Communications creates what's known as the back to school speech. It highlights many of the issues unfolding statewide and nationally. The speech is completely customizable and is made available to local presidents. To receive your copy for the coming year, reach out to your NJEA UniServ field rep.
2. Many locals highlight their members for their outstanding accomplishments—both personally and professionally. Consider honoring all your members who earned tenure as well as those who have reached their five year, ten year, 25 year, and 30 year anniversaries. You could create a certificate for each, and NJEA now offers 10 year and 25 year veteran pins that you can over via your UniServ office.
3. Consider outlining the association's goals for the year, including events that your PRIDE and social committees will host. Your general membership meeting presents you with a great opportunity to let your members know about these events, and considering asking members to sign up to attend them.
4. At your general membership meeting, its nice to have your officers and committee chairs address your members. This helps members put a face to your team, and it keeps the agenda moving.
These are just some suggestions. As always, reach out to your NJEA UniServ field rep for help planning your general membership meeting. And – we'd love to hear what else you do at this meeting, so feel free to post below and tell your story.

John Healy of Ferron did a presentation at the no trace activity in which he taught the campers the seven principles of "Leave No Trace." Those principles are plan ahead and prepare, camp and travel on durable surfaces, pack it in pack it out, leave what you find, minimize the use of campfires, respect wildlife, and respect others. By utilizing these principals, a camper can enjoy the outdoors without harming the environment.
Kent Keele of Castle Dale gave a presentation on winter camping. He explained the differences between summer and winter camping and how to enjoy camping in the winter. Preparation and personal comfort are the keys to camping in the winter time. A winter camper must be prepared with the proper gear and clothing to make a winter excursion a success.
The Klondike concluded at noon with lunch and awards.

Old Towne Orange retains star power as film venue
ORANGE For more than six decades, crews have used Old Towne Orange's folksy charm for big-time studio movies, national TV shows and commercials. At least 20 feature films have captured Old Towne's circle, plaza and historic storefronts and homes.
Oscar-winner Tom Hanks spent weeks here for 1996's "That Thing You Do" with scenes shot in Watson Drugs and Soda Fountain and Mr. C's Records. Martin Lawrence cross-dressed for 2000's "Big Momma's House," an actual home on Shaffer Street.
Directors Joel and Ethan Coen transformed the town into a 1949 backdrop for the black-and-white movie, "The Man Who Wasn't There" in 2001. Katie Holmes ran away from paparazzi through streets and alleys of Old Towne as she played the lead role in "First Daughter" in 2004.
The many historic buildings – among the largest concentration on the West Coast – make Old Towne attractive for filming. The structures were largely built from 1888 to 1940.
"One of the primary reasons is, it has an All-American look," said Janice Arrington, the Orange County film commissioner. "So it can play the Midwest. It can play the East Coast. It can also play period."
Paul Sitkoff, the city's business and public affairs manager, said scouts come to look at spots about once a month. Orange has fees and rules related to film permits, including $444 per day to film in the plaza district. No full closures of Glassell Street and Chapman Avenue are allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Scouts often examine the Plaza Park, inside the traffic circle, and quadrants surrounding it. But they also check out lesser-known spots, including a brick-lined alleyway alongside Starbucks.
Al Ricci, an Old Towne real estate agent, offers trolley tours that include a DVD showing film scenes from the area.
"When Hollywood comes to Old Towne, they transform it and leave it better than what we have," Ricci said. "It looks Disney-esque when they leave. It's a win all the way around. It gives notoriety to our downtown that people may not be aware of."
Some business owners, however, are leery of the interruption.
Lisa Ackerman, manager A & P Collectables, said she convinced crews from "That Thing You Do" to allow her to keep her own merchandise – period-piece china – in the display case during the filming, while other shops went along and changed their looks.
"I just remember that they kind of took over the town," Ackerman said. "It was kind of miserable that month. That was us, and I'm sure other people have different perspectives."
Crews have taken unusual steps. For the 1976 "Gumball Rally," windows in Sir Wickets Men's Shop were removed and replaced with "candy glass" so motorcycles could crash through it.
Fake snow was placed on sidewalks for an episode of NBC-TV's "The West Wing" and a Ben Affleck movie, "Surviving Christmas."
For "First Daughter," filmmakers got permission to allow a motorcade to drive the wrong way around the traffic circle because they preferred the way it looked.
Dave Mesesan, manager of Rod's Liquor, said he's enjoyed watching crews set up inside and outside Rod's. Forest Whitaker, who directed "First Daughter," stood outside the store's window while planning a scene.
A car crashed into a magazine stand on the corner of the store's lot for "Clockstoppers," released in 2002.
Across the street on Chapman Avenue, Paul's Cocktails' façade was turned into an Italian restaurant for "The Man Who Wasn't There."
"When it happens, it's exciting," Mesesan said of filming. "It's a nice change of pace for us."

is there a golden week every two months in japan??? it sure does seem that way!
So So
is there a golden week every two months in japan??? it sure does seem that way!
Kishimoto should consider a followup to Naruto, same Universe, different emphasis. Maybe the dimension of Obito's Sharingan could be a new world......
Nah! It's difficult to imagine anything that would make sense after the Ultimate Juubi/Madara battles. I wonder if Naruto would ever be depicted as a true sage, not as an Idiot.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Kakashi vs Obito in a pocket dimension? Naruto and his army vs the Juubi and Edo Kages vs Madara? I am really hoping we get our moneys worth with all the fights.
We will not. All we will get is a super gargantuan ransengan thats full of love, friendship, and buttsex and then Obito will get turned to the light at the last minute, hold Madara down and let Naruto blast him in the face. Its in the stars. Its also the same pattern that always happens. Then Naruto will go complete so6p mode and make juubi his friend, learn his name and everyone will be happy. $10 bet.
A pie in the sky?
Wow, Paulbee! Your representation of a Mokuton Hooker made me realize why all those years in the cave drove Madara so crazy... all the chaffing, splinters, and Physical Energies were too much for him to take.
And that spherical body.... it's like Naruto tried to combine Mokuton, Sexy Jutsu, and Rasengan, and this is the result. I guess it was too difficult to look right and left at the same time while paying attention to aesthetics.

Chelsea express Clattenburg 'regret'
Chelsea have attempted to draw a line under the latest race row to engulf the club after formally expressing "regrets" over their handling of the Mark Clattenburg affair.
- Related Content
The European champions admitted they should have "given more consideration" before making public allegations referee Clattenburg racially abused midfielder John Obi Mikel during their explosive defeat to Manchester United on October 28.
Clattenburg was last week cleared of any wrongdoing after The Football Association last week decided has had no case to answer over Chelsea's complaint he called John Obi Mikel a "monkey", with police having already shelved a probe into the matter.
Chelsea's handling of the allegation and their refusal to apologise prompted a furious backlash against a club already tainted by the John Terry racism scandal.
That prompted chairman Bruce Buck to arrange a meeting on Monday where he spoke with Clattenburg, the remaining 15 Select Group referees, their boss - Professional Game Match Officials general manager Mike Riley - and Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore.
A joint statement was issued this afternoon between the three parties, which read: "Following the completion of the investigation by the FA into the case involving Chelsea FC and Mark Clattenburg, the Premier League and Chelsea FC requested, and PGMOL agreed, to meet in order to discuss the issues surrounding the reporting of the allegation.
"The Select Group appreciated the opportunity to speak to Bruce Buck personally. His willingness to engage and answer all the questions put to him was welcomed. There was a constructive and open discussion.
"The club regrets not having given more consideration before issuing a statement on the evening of Sunday 28th October.
"The club also regrets the subsequent impact the intense media scrutiny had on Mark Clattenburg and his family.
"The referees accept that, given Chelsea FC had received a good-faith claim from one of their employees, the club had an obligation under FA rules to report the allegation.
"There was recognition by all parties that the impartiality and integrity of refereeing in this country remains paramount. Chelsea FC made it clear they would welcome Mark Clattenburg back to Stamford Bridge in the future and PGMOL would have no issue in appointing him to a Chelsea FC match going forward.
"It was a thoroughly professional meeting. All parties now believe it is time to draw a line under this incident, learn from it and move on for the good of all Premier League clubs, players and match officials."
Chelsea made their complaint against Clattenburg after midfielder Ramires claimed the official had racially abused Mikel during the Barclays Premier League game against United.
The Blues went public with their allegation hours after the final whistle, the timing of which particularly angered the referee and his fellow officials.
Upon being cleared, Clattenburg said in a statement: "To know you were innocent of something but that there was the opportunity for it to wreck your career was truly frightening.
"I know first hand the ramifications of allegations of this nature being placed into the public domain ahead of a formal process and investigation. I hope no referee has to go through this in the future."
Press Association Sport understands a handshake took place between Buck and Clattenburg during Monday's meeting.
It is also understood one of the reasons Tuesday's joint statement did not contain the word "sorry" was because the player who made the claim stands by his allegation.
Ramires told Mikel he heard Clattenburg say, "Shut up you monkey", to his fellow midfielder, something the FA found no corroborating evidence for.
They did conclude, however, that Chelsea were correct to report the matter and that it "was appropriate and proper for such an allegation to be thoroughly investigated".
The Blues saying they were wrong to make the complaint could also open them up to legal action, something Clattenburg is understood not to want to pursue.
He was stood down while the FA probe took place and returned to work as a fourth official in Saturday's game between Tottenham and West Ham.
He is scheduled to be the man in the middle for the first time in exactly a month during Southampton's match with Norwich on Wednesday.
Metropolitan Police dropped their investigation into the matter earlier this month when no victim came forward following a complaint from the Society of Black Lawyers.
Upon clearing Clattenburg, the FA charged Mikel with misconduct for his post-match behaviour which saw him angrily confront the referee in the officials' room after the United match.
Mikel did not contest the charge but requested a personal hearing in which Chelsea hoped mitigating circumstances would be taken into consideration.
Referees' union Prospect, who had led calls for Chelsea to apologise to Clattenburg and pay some form of compensation, has dropped the latter demand.
National secretary Alan Leighton said the use of the word "regrets" in the joint statement were tantamount to and accepted by Clattenburg and the Select Group as an apology.
"This was an important move forward in confirming Chelsea's recognition of Mark's integrity and impartiality," he said in a statement.
Leighton said the referees "welcomed the opportunity to express their concerns about the way that Mark had been treated".
He added: "In a thoroughly professional manner, they explained what the impact had been in real terms and that there could be no repetition of the events."

Flaking OutI got this around early March, it's now late June and it's starting to flake out on me. It will randomly reset it's temperature back to 0, causing it to cool down while I'm still trying to use it. I don't notice it has done that until I feel it cooling down. Up until now it worked fine. It's certainly not the best flat iron I've ever used, but not the worst either. But it's short lifespan is ridiculous. I'm going to go back to using Solia that only started dying on me after 6-7 years. This was a waste of money.Jun 24, 2014Amanda / MAHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair

Unreliable. Temperature Is Not Consistent. Not Impressed.I bought this for a trip to Europe. I tried it out while I was still in the U.S., and as soon as I turned it on, I noticed that the temperature setting kept jumping around. I read about this defect in a couple of reviews. Besides that, I don't see what's so great about this flat iron. For being just under $100, it looks and feels cheap. I ended up having to purchase another flat iron while overseas because this flat iron's prongs wouldn't fit inside my U.S. adaptor. The 2 prongs are shaped differently. So, this purchase was a waste of money, and unfortunately by the time I got back, it was too late to return. So, I'm giving it away. I do not recommend. Choose Sedu instead. I actually like my dual-voltage Sedu Ceramic Pro much better.Jun 2, 2014Stacey / CaliforniaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Relaxed Hair

Super Fast, Ultra Shiny ResultsAbsolutHeat is a new brand I think. I have never heard of it before and didn't see much online about it really. The price was great and the reviews were pretty good so I thought I would try something new for a change since the Chi iron I keep replacing is costing me so much money.
So far this has to be the best iron I have ever used. It's also the cheapest iron I have ever used that did my hair so well! Not only is it super shiny but it's so fast! One pass and my hair is bone straight. I really love the rubberized finish and the digital display (My chi had neither of these options). It's really pretty too. I'd recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Awesome Digital Iron With Great Extra Features!Didn't really need a new iron yet but I am obsessed with trying new beauty tools and supplies when I can. Green just happens to be my favorite color so I said "Why not".
This iron actually ended up being a great surprise as it has a lot of neat features I didn't know about. You can actually program how long it stay on so that if it takes you 1 hour to do your hair, you can actually program it to turn off after 1 hour and 10 mins so it shuts off, never having to worry about driving home and making sure you cut off your appliance.
I have a Chi, and a Croc but I find myself only using this iron now since it works so well and looks GREAT next to my eyes. (They are green). :-)

Best Buy!1st of all, I wish I could send pictures of before and after shots of my hair. It is silky smooth and the best part was that it took HALF the time that it would with my old iron.Ive had some major issues of curly hair, that I decided to have the thermal reconditioning done.but that lasted only a year. now i received this beautiful tool, and I still cant believe how fast and soft my hair is! thanks so much for this product!!!!!Mar 12, 2013Angi / NYCHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair

My Old Iron Should Be Green With Envy!I wanted to try a different flat iron company after my GHD iron pooped out after just over a year, and WOW am I glad I did! I went with the green model because St. Patrick's day is coming up and Emerald is the color of the year. I definitely got the results I was hoping for with this product. This is much easier to use than the GHD and makes my thick curly hair silky smooth. Its definitely worth the money, actually its worth more considering how much I spent on my GHD! I've tried it on my mom also, she's got smooth hair and after I adjust the temperature it works amazing on her as well!

Bubble Gum Balls - Unwrapped
Item #: 1334
Pink Gumballs - 2 lb.$11.73
We like to think of gumballs as the final evolution of bubble gum. The gumball is bubble gum that was once a stick or a chunk, rolled up in to a ball that's easy to put in pockets or dispensing machines. That, friends, is supreme design.
We carry many fine examples of gumballs below. We have holiday gumballs for Valentine's Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween, and Christmas. We carry individually-wrapped bags of gumballs, sugarfree bubble gum balls, a theater-size box of Dubble Bubble gumballs, small and large gumballs, and much more.
The gumball, as we said, is bubble gum refined. Some people admire art; well, we admire the sophistication of the White Pearl Gumballs and the Gold Gumballs you'll find in our selection, and we find the Shimmer Gumballs in colors like Powder Blue and Lavender quite elegant, and we sit for hours thinking of creative ways to use them (we've come up with some doozies).
We reserve our greatest appreciation, however, for those who can take a gumball and make the biggest bubble. Go on, make our day.

Geologists study the processes and substances that form Earth. Most of those processes happen over millions of years, but this quiz only takes a few minutes! Find out how rock solid your knowledge of geology is.
Start Quiz »
You scored
0 out of 30
Question 1 of 30
The part of Earth that lies just beneath the crust is the …
tectonic plate
The mantle "flows" over an extremely long time, but it primarily consists of solid rock.
Question 2 of 30
Areas known as karst are characterized by extensive cave systems and are commonly associated with what type of rock?
Limestone is highly soluble in water compared to other forms of rock. Water erodes passages through limestone and creates the caves and other features common to karst topography.
Question 3 of 30
How old is Earth?
4.54 billion years
Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago when a disk of debris gathered into a rocky sphere, a process known as accretion.
430 million years
80 trillion years
Question 4 of 30
Moraines are geologic features that can form ridges, rolling hills or wedge-shaped areas. What process causes them to form?
the collision of two tectonic plates
the compression of sedimentary layers
glaciers depositing debris as they advance, melt and retreat
Glaciers scoop rocky debris from the ground and slowly carry it forward, eventually depositing the debris when the glacial ice melts.
Question 5 of 30
What U.S. state was formed by a hotspot of magma that was fed to the crust from the mantle?
The magma was cooled by ocean water, forming the Hawaiian islands.
Question 6 of 30
What sedimentary rock is formed when plant matter is buried and compressed over millions of years?
Coal has been used as a fuel for thousands of years.
Question 7 of 30
What is the Ring of Fire?
a circular area of intense heat that forms around the cones of volcanoes
an area around the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean characterized by frequent, intense seismic activity
The series of active tectonic plate boundaries surrounding the Pacific Ocean accounts for the majority of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes.
a region in Siberia where surface coal deposits are constantly burning
Question 8 of 30
How do geologists think Earth's moon formed?
It formed as the result of a massive impact on Earth.
While it's not the only theory, geologists think a planet the size of Mars may have impacted Earth and created the moon not long after Earth formed.
It formed from several asteroids millions of years after Earth formed.
It was one of Saturn's moons, but a collision knocked it out of orbit, and it was later captured by Earth's gravity.
Question 9 of 30
What effect has erosion had on Niagara Falls?
It has caused the waterfall to retreat more than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) in the last 10,000 years.
Niagara Falls has "moved" several kilometers over thousands of years.
It has forced the river into a narrower passage by carving into the bedrock.
It has increased the velocity of the water by carving a deeper slope.
Question 10 of 30
How does beach sand form?
petrification of topsoil
compression of volcanic rocks
ocean waves grind rocks into tiny grains over an extremely long time
Over millions of years, ocean waves grind rocks down to grains of sand. The color of a beach depends on the mineral composition of the nearby rocks that formed it.
Question 11 of 30
What causes geysers?
an underground river causes pressure to back up in a constrained chamber
groundwater heated by magma becomes superheated and flashes into steam
Geysers require specific "plumbing" (usually a lower chamber with a constrained opening at the surface) for the water to become superheated.
a shifting fault pressurizes an underground chamber of water
Question 12 of 30
How deep is the deepest man-made borehole on Earth?
12,262 meters (40,230 feet)
Russia's Kola Superdeep Borehole reached a depth of 12,262 meters in 1989 and has never been surpassed.
34,650 meters
7,892 meters
Question 13 of 30
Earth's continents were once joined as a single massive supercontinent. What do geologists call it?
Greater Eurasia
The Greek name Pangaea can be roughly translated to English as "whole Earth."
Question 14 of 30
As you go deeper into Earth, the temperature …
gets hotter
Earth gets hotter the deeper you go. The temperature of the mantle ranges from 1832 F (1000 C) to 6692 F (3700 C).
gets cooler
varies from one layer to the next
Question 15 of 30
The subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Mariana Plate caused the formation of what unique geologic feature?
the Mariana Trench
The deepest part of the Mariana Trench is nearly seven miles below the surface of the ocean.
the Grand Canyon
Question 16 of 30
How have seismologists mapped Earth's interior?
They infer the contents of the interior based on computer analysis of satellite images.
They use extremely strong radar waves.
They can see different types of waves from earthquakes propagate through areas of different density within the interior.
Earthquakes waves move differently through different materials, which is how seismologists know the outer core is liquid and the mantle slowly shifts via convection.
Question 17 of 30
What type of rock is formed by extreme pressure and heat over a long time?
Examples of metamorphic rock include gneiss and marble.
Question 18 of 30
One type of rock can only be formed from the sudden shock and heat of a meteorite impact. What is it called?
Impactites are considered metamorphic even though they don't form over the millions of years required for most metamorphic rocks.
Question 19 of 30
Which of these is NOT a mineral?
Asbestos and lead are both naturally occurring minerals. Pyrex is a brand name for heat-resistant glass.
Question 20 of 30
Which of these is a type of lava flow?
Pahoehoe is pronounced "pah-hoey-hoey" and is a term of Hawaiian origin.
Question 21 of 30
Uncemented sediments can form islands along ocean shorelines. What are these islands called?
barrier islands
Barrier islands are often made of sand dunes and other loose material, and they can shift, change or disappear during storms. They help protect shorelines from erosion and storm surges.
sea mounts
Question 22 of 30
Soil that does not match the age or composition of the underlying bedrock it sits upon is called …
residual soil
transported soil
Transported soil is moved by erosion and gravity. Its origin can often be found uphill, but wind can carry transported soil hundreds or thousands of miles, even across oceans.
compound soil
Question 23 of 30
Which mineral precipitates from oceans and forms rock salt?
Halite forms when salty bodies of water dry up, leaving salt deposits that can be hundreds of meters thick.
Question 24 of 30
What shape is Earth?
an oblate spheroid
An oblate spheroid is a squashed sphere — Earth is slightly flatter at the poles and bulges at the Equator.
a perfect sphere
Question 25 of 30
What is post-glacial rebound?
when the crust gradually lifts back up after being depressed by the incredible weight of glacial ice
During the last glacial period, glacial ice in Europe and North America was up to 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) thick. The incredible weight pushed down on the crust, and in some areas the crust is still springing back into shape.
when a glacier melts but quickly reforms
when the movement of a glacier is redirected by a pre-existing rock feature.
Question 26 of 30
What causes Earth's magnetic field?
radiation from the sun
the alignment of magnetic metals in the crust
the movement of liquid iron in the outer core
The process that creates the magnetic field is complex, but it is caused by molten iron in the outer core moving due to heat convection from the hotter, solid inner core.
Question 27 of 30
A widely accepted theory suggests that mass extinctions have been caused by asteroid impacts. What evidence is there to support this theory?
remnants of massive impact craters on the surface
The remnants of enormous impact craters, some of them 100 miles (161 kilometers) or more in diameter, can be found worldwide, with some of the largest in South Africa, Canada and Mexico.
mountains which are actually intact asteroids sitting on the surface
cave paintings depicting massive spheres of fire falling from the sky
Question 28 of 30
What is notable about the mineral called cinnabar?
It tastes like cinnamon.
It's the deadliest mineral on Earth.
Cinnabar is mercury sulfide, an incredibly toxic chemical. You should never handle cinnabar, much less taste it.
It burns so slowly that a small chunk would sustain a flame for 15 years.
Question 29 of 30
What is happening to the crust at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
It's colliding and forming a new chain of mountains.
It's spreading at a rate of approximately 2.5 centimeters each year as tectonic plates move away from each other.
The crust is spreading out at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge because it's a divergent boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates as well as the South American and African plates.
It's relatively static.
Question 30 of 30
What happened to Lake Missoula 15,000 years ago?
It was cut off from its source, and it dried up.
Fissures in the lake bed caused it to slowly drain into the groundwater.
The collapse of an ice dam caused it to catastrophically flood the surrounding area.
It's believed that ice dam formation and collapse caused several massive floods during the last ice age, unleashing incredible energy and reshaping the surrounding area.

i want uncensored tenjho tenge in america
i want uncensored tenjho tenge in america
TT continues on past the anime but goes back into another long flashback afterwards. Thats when i stopped reading TT.
the beginning is cool, but they killed it in the middle.
the whole flashback is LAME and a waste of time
Agree and in manga that history moment really was boring.
Why don't more people read these mangas?
This Manga has been cool so far I made it to fight 99 after almost poking my eyes out with my own Reiki (or fork as I usually call it). Those flash backs almost stopped me from getting to where I was in the Manga, but the story picks up after that monster of a flash back. Did I mention that flashback was mind numbing.
For those who are concerned about the flashback, they are relevant and they only go on for about 2 volumes and a bit, if you can make it past that part then the manga picks up again.
Why don't more people read these mangas?

- A shark does not have a single bone in it body, instead it has a skeleton made up of cartilage. Cartilage is a tough material, like the material that shapes your ear. A shark has two dorsal fins on its back, one beneath its body, which is called the pectoral fin (all species do not have that) and the tail which is the caudal fin.
- Sharks are strong, healthy creatures. No other living thing can take better care of itself than a shark can. Sharks never get cancer, so their cartilage is being studied with the hope of developing anti-cancer drugs.
- Most sharks live for about 25 years, while some can live to be a 100 years too.
- Most kinds of sharks can swim up to 20-40 miles per hour. The Mako shark is said to be able to swim at more than 60 miles per hour.
- Not all species of sharks are required to be in continuous motion to breathe, however a shark's body is heavier than the sea, so if it stops moving it will sink. Sharks do not sleep in the same way as humans. Even if they seem to be sleeping they are not, instead they are just resting.
- A shark's teeth are usually replaced every eight days. Some species of sharks shed about 30,000 teeth in their lifetime. When a shark loses a tooth, one replaces it. A Whale Shark has more than 4,000 teeth, but each is less than 1/8 inch long.
- The largest shark teeth found belonged to a Carcharodon Magaloden shark and are 6 inches long. This shark is extinct and lived more than 4.5 million years ago.
- Sharks have very good senses. Sometimes a shark is called "a swimming nose", for its great sense of smell. Sharks can easily detect prey that is in the sand, as well as at night.
- A shark also has a remarkable sensitivity to vibrations in the water. It can feel the movements made by other animals that are hundreds of feet away. They can hear sounds from thousands of feet away. Sharks can tell the direction from where the sound is coming from, too.
- A shark's skin is covered by small, razor-sharp teeth called denticles. These can be removed from the shark's body. Once removed, the remaining skin is made into strong leather.
- Some sharks lay eggs, while most give birth to babies. The Hammerhead and Tiger shark can have as many as 40 babies at one time, while the others can have six to twelve.
- One good meal is enough to satisfy a shark's hunger. The meal can last a shark for a long period because it uses very little energy to swim. Some sharks hold food in their stomachs without it being digested. If they eat a big meal, it can last three or more months.
- Weird things have been found inside a shark, such as a nail, a bottle of wine, a treasure chest, coats, a suit of armor, a drum and a torpedo. Like humans, sharks are at the top of the food chain. More people are killed by bee stings than by shark attacks.
- The Whale shark is considered the biggest fish in the world. The Whale shark is about 90,000 pounds in weight. The Basking shark is the second largest. It can be as long as 40 feet.
- The Pygmy shark is about 11 inches in length. The Dwarf shark is as tiny as a human hand. Great white sharks can grow about 10 inches every year, which means they can grow to be 12 to 14 feet long.
Shark Facts
The shark is the largest fish in the see and belongs to the Chondrichhye class of fish. They have been around for more than 300 million years and were around even before dinosaurs. There are about 350 different types of sharks, but researchers think there are other sharks that haven't been discovered yet. For more information on one of the best predators in the animal kingdom, keep reading.

Customer Reviews
Comments: So, I decided to see what the hype was all about with these, and I bought two packs in two different colors. Yeah, they swim very well. Yeah, they catch fish. But, yeah, they are also very soft and fragile. Hook into one bass, and you're changing out to a new one right after, so that two packs of baits didn't last all that long. I've had the same amount of success with Zoom Swimmin Flukes and Reaction Innovation Dippers, and they last a lot longer, so I think I'll be sticking with the Zooms and Reaction Innovations, and pass on the Keitechs from now on.
From: JLH: Pittsburgh 12/21/16
Comments: 9/10 -- I take off one point due to their durability. After 2 or 3 fish, you're going to need to put a new one on. I strongly believe the scent is a key factor in their fish catching ability. If you've been using one a lot & aren't getting any bites, put on a new one before going to another area. The scent "washes off" before long & I came to this realization when I was fishing a point that I knew fish were on thanks to my sonar, so I took a new one out of the package with plenty of scent on it & 1st cast... a nice 4lb'er slammed it and practically tore it in half. Keitech has a winner with this one. It works by itself, it works as a drop-shot bait & it works as a trailer on swimjigs & chatterbaits. You could even take a skirt off a spinner bait & put one of these on there instead. I wouldn't use the normal ones for an Alabama rig, you'd probably do better with the FAT versions for that application. Will be buying more with my next Tackle Warehouse order, that's for sure. In both versions.
From: Kevin: NY 6/25/16
Comments: Overall 8/10. Only downfall is that they get fragile quick if you're on the fish. The squid scent is a game changer. Definitely worth buying and definitely the #1 swim bait. Set these up with a good swim jig & you'll have yourself a day.
From: Greg: NJ 5/14/16
Comments: One of my favorite baits! The 4 inch is a largemouth killer. One of the only companies that make smaller effective swim baits. I actually think the smaller ones have a better action than the 4.3 & up baits. They're really good when the water gets cooler & the bass are a little more finicky. If you don't have any owner pivot head hooks you're doing it wrong haha. Get some of these baits then go add some pivot head hooks to your cart & you're good to go.
From: Jessie: Moore, OK 12/18/15
Comments: These things are awesome, I mainly fish them as trailers for swim jigs & spinnerbaits and they are great for that. They are fragile though. I have had many dinks and toothy critters chew off the boot of the tail & leave the rest, forcing me to put on a new one despite 80% of it still being there. But the action is great & I do recommend them.
From: Ryan: MA 11/10/15
Comments: Amazing swimbaits! They catch fish in just about any condition. Saltwater & freshwater, throw on a jig head, real slow or fast depending on what fish want and hold on. My 6 year old loves them. Easy to use and catches all sizes. Not that durable but carry some glue on you and your all set. 3.8 in Bluegill flash and Ayu have been good.
From: Chris: CA 7/10/15
Comments: I just picked up a package of 4" Swing Impacts this weekend, went to my family's small farm pond tonight to try them out & caught a 6lber. Biggest bass we have ever pulled out of this pond. Fantastic action whether reeling slow or fast. I'm sold!
From: J.D. Hawg: Flat Rock, IL 5/12/15
Comments: I fished this bait in clear water and I could see the reaction of bass at its sight: expectation + quick attack. One of the most natural swimmers in the market. Fish can't help bitting them.
From: Quino: Sevilla, Spain 4/21/15
Comments: Been fishing this bait for about 3 years. Insanely good action & it's a fish catching machine. This bait has an action like no other, and has an immense drawing power. Even though it is small fish can't resist it. I fish it on a swim bait head, weed less ultrahead, swimjig, bladedjig & spinnerbait. Works awesome around grass. Don't hesitate too get some!
From: Andrew: PA 3/27/15
Comments: They dance nicely at a slow retrieve speed. They're quite salty and tasty, IMO (yeah, I taste lures from time to time in an attempt to form opinions about the quality of their scent/flavor). Most importantly, they draw strikes. Do not hesitate to give 'em a try :).
From: Brad: Gate City, VA 8/18/14
Comments: I feel like one of the foumding fathers cs I got a pac when they first starting showing up in stores in the states. Fished on Owner finnese heads 1/8 oz weedless hook. Killin them till this day. New Colors are Greatt too any color works, darker for rivers and Night fishing Lighter for Lakes and Ponds. I melt back to life after they get mangled with a custom tipped sottering iron.
From: Unknown: USA 4/17/14
Comments: like most other reviews, this is a workin bait! Maybe this will help some who are having these destroyed by all the fish that hit these things. I used a big bites wacky head and a little locktite glue and. Caught five or six smallies on one. It might be a fluke but it worked for me. Anyway, I like these swimmies they catch fish!
From: Spitwad: USA 4/13/14
Comments: Great bait. Great action. Just a lot smaller than I expected. Not sure what I am going to do with the 3" baits besides occasionally using them as a trailer. Could drop shot them but that's a pretty expensive drop shot bait. The 3.5" and 4" baits on the other hand are going to be a huge asset!!!
From: Nate: WA 4/10/14
Comments: The Keitech 3.5 inch Swing Impact will catch largemouth bass, but be aware of three issues. First, it is so light it tends to corkscrew up through the water to the surface instead of swimming true. To solve this problem, I rig it on a Size 1 Owner Twist Lock Finesse hook and create a keel effect by pinching a size 3/0, 40pk round split shot weight on its shank. Second, because it is extremely soft and quickly tapers to a very thin tail, this swim bait is so fragile that you will catch only one bass per lure. Using Mend-It to repair as many you can salvage will bring down the cost per catch. Third, to increase your catch rate and avoid losing the tails off these lures, give fish the time to take in the whole lure. You can do this when you feel a strike by pointing the rod towards the lure to create some slack, then pausing for an instant before winding in line to set the hook.
From: Vince: Tucson, AZ
Comments: Yeah so I bought a bunch of these after reading all of the positive reviews...glad I did. Paired them with an 1/8oz jig head and took to the lake in mid December. Weather was terrible and the water temp was 48 degrees. My better judgement told me to not throw a swim bait, but I had all these new lures and I had to try them...holy cow, the bass ate them up! I couldn't believe the number and quality of bites I got in such cold water. It was very impressive. As the other reviewers have mentioned, they're not super durable but they flat out catch fish. A new favorite for sure. Get you some!!!
From: John: Nashville, TN
Comments: One word, AMAZING! Catches fish when nothing else does. Favorite color, Bluegill flash. Never fails
From: Master Yoshi: Beijing, China
Comments: First time user now a lifer. Took to minnesota on a fishing trip. All numbers were about the same until i pulled out a keitech. Went from 20 in the boat to over 40 in minutes. 3,4 and 5 lbs bass all day. Thought it held up pretty well. Went through a 5 pack with a buddy over 3 days. Fished it on a jig head in weeds and deep water. Love it
From: Donnie: Angola IN
Comments: They catch fish in all conditions period...They do the job on bass and most other species. Only negative is the durability but I think the softness of the bait gives it the action so I cant complain too much just pick you 2 colors you like and buy 2 or 3 of each because you'll need them. Silver Flash Minnow and Male Perch are nice choices
From: Derrick: KY
Comments: A friend had told me about the Swing Impacts a few weeks ago so I decided to order a few packs. Im sorry I never used these sooner!! Over the past few days we have caught over 30 Bass and numerous Pickerel and Crappie mixed in. The action on these baits are amazing, I haven't seen realistic action like this on any other soft baits. Fast, slow, twitch, it doesn't matter, we were getting hammered on every other cast. My girlfriend was strictly fishing live bait until she caught her first bass with one. She caught her personal best yesterday just shy of 4 lbs with a slow retrieve and letting it fall where it was hammered on the drop. I'm about to put an order in for a few more as we speak. You will not be disappointed with these baits!!!!
From: Ray: NJ
Comments: The four inch bait is a perfect pitching bait, it also works well fishing on all jig heads. best results is swimming any at speed.
From: Ed: Barstow, CA
Comments: I love this bait! I've been fishing for some time, and im pretty good with understanding what fish like, and fish love this. It swims great, it looks great, and, for the fish, it smells great. My favorite color is the baby ayu color, or the bluegill flash, and size 3-3.5 I use this mainly for peacocks here in singapore, and when i go back home to Houston, bass love em to. And i really believe in smell, its just that extra step towards tricking a fish to bighting, if they are not so sure about the presentation, they can smell it, and then they'll bight it for sure. My preference is to use this on a 1/8th ounce jig head.
From: Hugo: Singapore/Houston, TX
Comments: Flat out unstoppable.This thing is amazing with a gamakatsu darter head on there .It catches everything,plenty of largemouth,quite a few smallies,a few walleyes and even a northern decided to eat it.My most successful color so far is male perch,black is the best in dirty water.The point is , pick up some keitechs and you'll catch fish.
From: Noah: IA
Comments: Great Bait ! I fish them on an exposed jighead around grass edges and over brush piles. This is a awesome bait for guys stuck in the back of your buddys boat. You'll catch the ones he missed. Black shad and male perch are my favorite colors.
From: Debeaux: Myrtle Beach, SC
Comments: Smallmouth Kill it. If they miss it they will hit it again. The taste and action can't be beat. You can feel the vibration in 50ft of water drop shotting.
From: Tyler: East Coast
Comments: Drop shotting in 50 + feet great action and great feel. Smallmouth crush these. Also drag it through schooling fish and hold on. Awesome bait!
From: Smallie: WV
Comments: The perch absolutely go crazy for these! I put half a crawler on the hook with the Green Pumpkin color, and I catch some big perch! These also work well for bass that have seen everything. They don't last more than a few fish, though, so bring extras!
From: Luke: Klamath Falls, OR
Comments: the best swim bait i have ever used, its all i have used this summer and i have been catching 3-5 pound largemouth bass, been killing it with this bait, well worth the money, keitech this is an excellant product i dont use any other baits any more.
From: Chris: NJ/NY
Comments: Swimbait? Finesse swimbait? Forget that! Try dropshotting the 4"! It's a great dropshot bait. The Silver Flash Minnow when they're feeding on shad and the Watermelon color any other time. Just dropshot it and fish it like you normally would a dropshot. Really good bait. Also works on a jighead when fished through schooling fish.
From: ACH: Cali
Comments: awsome little swimbait, great for smallmouth
From: Ak: NJ
Comments: Not the most durable bait, but the action is killer. Pretty much it's one swimmie per fish.
From: Defecator: USA
Comments: HOLY SH@# ! I was fishing a few days ago and couldn't get a bite from the best stagging spot on the lake. I trying a drop shot, carolina rig, a crankbait but couldn't get anything going, so I but a 4" swing impact on a 1/4 oz jig head and swam it through the same area and caught 4 keepers the biggesst was 3lbs. I know thats not huge in the least but I was able to salvage the day. They only problem was the baits were destroyed after each fish . had to rig a new one after each fish !
Comments: Great finesse style swim bait, great for smallies. you can fish it several ways too, weighted swim bait hook, ball head jig, as a spinner bait or swim jig trailer. tons of action, the only bad thing is that they don't take a beating so crazy glue or mend it glue is a must. last but not least is the strong squid scent, fish hold on
From: Jeff: New Jersey, USA
Comments: These are a great little bait. I prefer the 4 and 3.5 inch, the 3 is too small. Best colors have been pro staff special and male perch, both are great bluegill imitators. Have weedless on a darter head and behind a microchatterbait and had success with both. I highly recommend these, along with a bottle of Mend-It to fix the torn up bodies from catching tons of fish!
From: Big J: Houston, TX
Comments: It has been a great bait on the east cost fishing the rivers systems around lilly pads and out side line of grass. Whaled on them at the Potomac. Bait is extremely soft and does not last long but worth every pennie. The tail kicks so hard you can feel the vibration all the way back to the reel seat.
From: Mike: Norfolk, VA
Comments: Awesome baits very fragile, but worth it. The Keitech scent seems to work amazing and the action is insane. Burn through a whole pack of 4" in just a few hours fished weightless on a 2 or 1/0 offset. Great hook up ratio too, you'll have no problem boating fish with these great baits.
From: Joe: Massachusetts, USA
Comments: Great bait, rigged on a 1/0 worm hook, my first few casts with this bait produced a spotted bay bass and a 20" halibut. However...the bait cant handle abuse, each fish demolished one bait so youll be doing a lot of mending. These baits are softer than my bass trix.

"Completely ill-fitting and uncomfortable. The straps are very heavy and clunky and have no give, they didn't fit at all to the shape of my feet and toe (which are small and on the narrow side but nothing too extreme). I couldn't even walk around in them."

"This was my first online purchase and I was thrilled by the ease of ordering and the fast delivery. When the shoes arrived (before the expected date) they were neatly and saftely packaged.The shoes fit very true to size. I orded my normal 7.5 and they fit perfectly. The toe strap is not too tight and neither is the top strap. They are comfortable to wear and the only issue I have is some slight rubbing on the top of my foot when I sit for several hours. It doesn't rub when I am up and moving. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that I wish they had an all leather option without the shine.I would definitely recommend these shoes."

Gray should have just freeze her and shatter her stupid ass into a thousand pieces already!
Alright heres the thing.....While no ones sure whats gonna happen to Gerard, what about Mistgun, they still haven't explained that shit......
I'm actually kind of hoping Midnight is one of the people from this chapter that we see later on and becomes good, ie: Gazille, Leon, Lluvia. Although that seems like its not gonna happen, but then again same went for Gazille and his crucifying Fairy Tail members so....
Mistgun will probably go about his business until Gerard goes way out of control. It'll be then that he goes in and reveals some insane connection between the two. As for Midnight I can see him going good, but I'm not sure it would be that easy.....i dunno.....

Tropical Storm Dumile formed at the beginning of 2013 in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. The storm moved southward as it strengthened into a tropical cyclone. On January 3, 2013, the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reported that Dumile was located roughly 85 nautical miles (155 kilometers) northwest of Réunion, with maximum sustained winds of 65 knots (120 kilometers per hour) and gusts up to 80 knots (150 kilometers per hour).
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this natural-color image on January 3. Dumile's clouds extended over the islands of Réunion and Mauritius but stopped short of Madagascar's capital city of Antananarivo.
The JTWC forecasted that Dumile would continue moving southward before accelerating toward the southeast. Wind speeds were expected to gradually decrease over the next few days.

Raymond R. Mobley
Ray Mobley, 88, entered this life in Dimmitt, Texas on July 25, 1925. He entered his eternal life on May 11, 2014 in Farmington, NM. He was the third of six children born to H.M. & Gladys Taylor Mobley. Ray was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Austin, sisters Nell Miller and Dorothy Reno. Also preceding Ray was his one true love and wife, Hazel in 2007. He is survived by his sister, Marguerite Cole of Hereford, TX and brother, Don Mobley of Farmington, NM.
Ray and Hazel McMahon met in the sixth grade and married in 1945. The union of 62 years produced three children: Kent, Karla & Kirk. Leaving the farm in 1958 they moved to Cortez, CO where Ray began a new career in the oil field. Ray's quick wit and infectious smile were the trademark of his magnetic personality. Always ready with a joke or a quip, Ray was a stranger to none. Losing his father at an early age did not affect Ray's desire, dedication & success in becoming a loving and supportive dad. His favorite role was PaPa, one in which he excelled.
In 1965, Ray established Mo-Te, Inc. in Farmington. After Kent's graduation, the family moved to Farmington in June 1966. Ray taught his children the value of hard work, resulting in all three continuing to work at Mo-Te today. Ray & Hazel were a team at home and in their years of service at Emmanuel Baptist Church, where Ray served as a Deacon. And the two are once again together…eternally.
Ray is survived by his children: Kent (Cindy) Mobley, Karla (Terry) Hayes, Kirk (Veda) Mobley of Farmington.
Funeral services for Ray will be held at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 211 W. 20th St., Farmington on Friday, May 16, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. The grandchildren who served as Pall Bearers for MamMa's service are honored to serve at their Papa's.
Arrangements are with Brewer, Lee and Larkin Funeral Home, 103 E. Ute St., Farmington, (505)325-8688. Those who wish to send condolences may do so at www.serenityandcompany.com.

Breton women with umbrellas

canvas 81.0 (h) x 105.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase 1955

In 1886, at the age of eighteen, Bernard set off on a walking trip through Normandy and Brittany. There he met Paul Gauguin in Pont-Aven, at the recommendation of Emile Schuffenecker. Two years later, in a letter from Arles dated 20 June 1888, van Gogh proposed that Bernard meet again with the older artist: 'Gauguin too is bored at Pont-Aven and complains like you of his isolation. Why not go and see him?'1 Bernard did so. He was just twenty years old and brimming with new theories and ideas about how to make art.
It was at Pont-Aven that Bernard painted a canvas, Breton women in a meadow, which, according to the artist, preceded Gauguin's radical painting Vision of the sermon (Jacob wrestling with the angel).2 The two artists worked together, along with Louis Anquetin and Paul Sérusier, developing a style which came to be known as 'Cloisonismé', or Cloisonnism—a term coined by the critic Edouard Dujardin when reviewing the art of Anquetin in his essay for La Revue indépendante, 1 March 1888. Cloisonnism abandoned three-dimensional modelling for flatter two dimensional forms with heavy dark outlines. It was a style that shunned naturalism and adopted a more symbolic focus, assuming a brighter palette in order to express human emotion. It was, in part, inspired by Gothic art (particularly stained-glass and enamel work) and Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, in vogue amongst many artists of the Pont-Aven school.
The close artistic collaboration between Bernard and Gauguin ended in 1891, when Gauguin was described as the founder of the evolving Pont-Aven movement.3 Bernard considered this role rightfully his. Bernard's sister Madeleine accused Gauguin of reneging on his promise to exhibit together with Bernard before he left for Tahiti: 'you are a traitor, you have broken your pledge and done the greatest harm to my brother, who is the real initiator of the art that you claim as being your own'.4
Breton women with umbrellas was made the year after this rift. It is one of a series of paintings created in bold outlines and colours which extend Bernard's monumental style of the late 1880s and signal his claim to be the originator of what he called 'pictorial symbolism'. The canvas reveals Bernard's continuing fascination with Gothic art and adds to the exotic perception of Breton women as timeless and immutable beings, living simple pious lives. The artist has depicted these figures in simplified forms and bold colours, and placed them within an almost two-dimensional village backdrop. Bernard came to admire these women, and frequently represented them as figures of devotion, as if they had stepped out of the art of the medieval ages.
