text: RussiaFeed News Videos A tour of beautiful Vladimir-Suzdal, once capital of a mighty Russian principality The ancient town of Suzdal was also the cradle of the modern Russian language Published 12 months ago on February 23, 2018 By Matfey Shaheen 35 Views Share Tweet Among the great Russian principalities, Vladimir-Suzdal will forever be remembered as being the cradle from which Moscow emerged. It was the Vladimir dialect that eventually developed into the old Moscow dialect, which formed the basis for Modern Russian as opposed to the other Russian languages: Ukrainian and Belarussian, so the principality of Vladimir-Suzdal together with Kiev and Novgorod represent the foundations of old Russia. While Vladimir remains a large provincial city, nearby Suzdal itself, which was a great city before Moscow was a concept, is a shadow of what it was. The town doesn't even have a train station, which is why our trip to Suzdal begins in Vladimir. One can easily see the legacy of Vladimir-Suzdal in Moscow, by comparing the primary Cathedrals of the two cities respectively. Dormition Cathedral in Moscow (left) was heavily influenced by the earlier masterpiece in Vladimir (right) which can be seen in the video Suzdal itself is a pretty town, not far from Vladimir, known for its famous Mead, a staple of the Old Russian world, as common as Vodka in Old Rus' Much can be said about Suzdal, its impossible to talk about Russian history without mentioning it, and for those who wish to see more, Russia Beyond has already published the works of Professor William Brumfield, a great expert on Russian architecture, where you can find several of his articles on the topic of Suzdal as well as Vladimir. Vladimir In the video above, also by Russia Beyond, coincidently, you will love the quaint ride through the countryside on horse-pulled sleigh, the great hall of an old Russian royal court, which may remind you of the Nord halls in Skyrim, if not only for the architecture, then for the mead. Suzdal is a magical place, and Russian history is open for anyone who wants to come and see. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 2 days ago on February 18, 2019 By OilPrice.com Via Oilprice.com Litasco, the international trading arm of Russia's second-biggest oil producer Lukoil, stopped its oil swaps deals with Venezuela immediately after the U.S. imposed sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry and state oil firm PDVSA, Lukoil's chief executive Vagit Alekperov said at an investment forum in Russia. Russia, which stands by Nicolas Maduro in the ongoing Venezuelan political crisis, has vowed to defend its interests in Venezuela—including oil interests—within the international law using "all mechanisms available to us." Because of Moscow's support for Maduro, the international community and market analysts are closely watching the relationship of Russian oil companies with Venezuela. "Litasco does not work with Venezuela. Before the restrictions were imposed, Litasco had operations to deliver oil products and to sell oil. There were swap operations. Today there are none, since the sanctions were imposed," Lukoil's Alekperov said at the Russian Investment Forum in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. Another Russian oil producer, Gazprom Neft, however, does not see major risks for its oil business in Venezuela, the company's chief executive officer Alexander Dyukov said at the same event. Gazprom Neft has not supplied and does not supply oil products to Venezuela needed to dilute the thick heavy Venezuelan oil, Dyukov said, noting that the Latin American country hadn't approached Gazprom Neft for possible supply of oil products for diluents. Under the new wide-ranging U.S. sanctions, Venezuela will not be able to import U.S. naphtha which it has typically used to dilute its heavy crude grades. Analysts expect that a shortage of diluents could accelerate beginning this month the already steadily declining Venezuelan oil production and exports. Venezuela's crude oil production plunged by another 59,000 bpd from December 2018 to stand at just 1.106 million bpd in January 2019, OPEC's secondary sources figures showed in the cartel's closely watched Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR) this week.

Continue Reading Latest Germany Pulls Rank on Macron and American Energy Blackmail Why France's Macron, at the last minute, attempted to undermine the project by placing stiffer regulations is a curious question. Published 6 days ago on February 14, 2019 By Finian Cunningham Authored by Finian Cunningham via The Strategic Culture Foundation: It was billed politely as a Franco-German "compromise" when the EU balked at adopting a Gas Directive which would have undermined the Nord Stream 2 project with Russia. Nevertheless, diplomatic rhetoric aside, Berlin's blocking last week of a bid by French President Emmanuel Macron to impose tougher regulations on the Nord Stream 2 gas project was without doubt a firm rebuff to Paris. Macron wanted to give the EU administration in Brussels greater control over the new pipeline running from Russia to Germany. But in the end the so-called "compromise" was a rejection of Macron's proposal, reaffirming Germany in the lead role of implementing the Nord Stream 2 route, along with Russia. The $11-billion, 1,200 kilometer pipeline is due to become operational at the end of this year. Stretching from Russian mainland under the Baltic Sea, it will double the natural gas supply from Russia to Germany. The Berlin government and German industry view the project as a vital boost to the country's ever-robust economy. Gas supplies will also be distributed from Germany to other European states. Consumers stand to gain from lower prices for heating homes and businesses. Thus Macron's belated bizarre meddling was rebuffed by Berlin. A rebuff was given too to the stepped-up pressure from Washington for the Nord Stream 2 project to be cancelled. Last week, US ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell and two other American envoys wrote an op-ed for Deutsche Welle in which they accused Russia of trying to use "energy blackmail" over Europe's geopolitics. Why France's Macron, at the last minute, attempted to undermine the project by placing stiffer regulations is a curious question. Those extra regulations if they had been imposed would have potentially made the Russian gas supply more expensive. As it turns out, the project will now go-ahead without onerous restrictions. In short, Macron and the spoiling tactics of Washington, along with EU states hostile to Russia, Poland and the Baltic countries, have been put in their place by Germany and its assertion of national interests of securing economical and abundant gas supply from Russia. Other EU member states that backed Berlin over Nord Stream 2 were Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece and the Netherlands. Washington's claims that Nord Stream 2 would give Russia leverage of Europe's security have been echoed by Poland and the Baltic states. Poland, and non-EU Ukraine, stand to lose out billions of dollars-worth of transit fees. Such a move, however, is the prerogative of Germany and Russia to find a more economical mode of supply. Besides, what right has Ukraine to make demands on a bilateral matter that is none of its business? Kiev's previous bad faith over not paying gas bills to Russia disbars it from reasonable opinion. Another factor is the inherent Russophobia of Polish and Baltic politicians who view everything concerning Russia through a prism of paranoia. For the Americans, it is obviously a blatant case of seeking to sell their own much more expensive natural gas to Europe's giant energy market – in place of Russia's product. Based on objective market figures, Russia is the most competitive supplier to Europe. The Americans are therefore trying to snatch a strategic business through foul means of propaganda and political pressure. Ironically, the US German ambassador Richard Grenell and the other American envoys wrote in their recent oped: "Europe must retain control of its energy security." Last month, Grenell threatened German and European firms involved in the construction of Nord Stream 2 that they could face punitive American sanctions in the future. Evidently, it is the US side that is using "blackmail" to coerce others into submission, not Russia. Back to Macron. What was he up to in his belated spoiling tactics over Nord Stream 2 and in particular the attempted problems being leveled for Germany if the extra regulations had been imposed? It seems implausible that Macron was suddenly finding a concern for Poland and the Baltic states in their paranoia over alleged Russian invasion. Was Macron trying to garner favors from the Trump administration? His initial obsequious rapport with Trump has since faded from the early days of Macron's presidency in 2017. By doing Washington's bidding to undermine the Nord Stream 2 project was Macron trying to ingratiate himself again? The contradictions regarding Macron are replete. He is supposed to be a champion of "ecological causes". A major factor in Germany's desire for the Nord Stream 2 project is that the increased gas supply will reduce the European powerhouse's dependence on dirty fuels of coal, oil and nuclear power. By throwing up regulatory barriers, Macron is making it harder for Germany and Europe to move to cleaner sources of energy that the Russian natural gas represents. Also, if Macron had succeeded in imposing tougher regulations on the Nord Stream 2 project it would have inevitably increased the costs to consumers for gas bills. This is at a time when his government is being assailed by nationwide Yellow Vest protests over soaring living costs, in particular fuel-price hikes. A possible factor in Macron's sabotage bid in Germany's Nord Stream 2 plans was his chagrin over Berlin's rejection of his much-vaunted reform agenda for the Eurozone bloc within the EU. Despite Macron's very public amity with Chancellor Angela Merkel, Berlin has continually knocked back the French leader's ambitions for reform. It's hard to discern what are the real objectives of Macron's reforms. But they seem to constitute a "banker's charter". Many eminent German economists have lambasted his plans, which they say will give more taxpayer-funded bailouts to insolvent banks. They say Macron is trying to move the EU further away from the social-market economy than the bloc already has moved. What Macron, an ex-Rothschild banker, appears to be striving for is a replication of his pro-rich, anti-worker policies that he is imposing on France, and for these policies to be extended across the Eurozone. Berlin is not buying it, realizing such policies will further erode the social fabric. This could be the main reason why Macron tried to use the Nord Stream 2 project as leverage over Berlin. In the end, Macron and Washington – albeit working for different objectives – were defeated in their attempts to sabotage the emerging energy trade between Germany, Europe and Russia. Nord Stream 2, as with Russia's Turk Stream to the south of Europe, seems inevitable by sheer force of natural partnership. On this note, the Hungarian government's comments this week were apt. Budapest accused some European leaders and the US of "huge hypocrisy" in decrying association with Russia over energy trade. Macron has previously attended an economics forum in St Petersburg, and yet lately has sought to "blackmail" and disrupt Germany over its trade plans with Russia. As for the Americans, their arrant hypocrisy is beyond words. As well as trying to dictate to Europe about "market principles" and "energy security", it was reported this week that Washington is similarly demanding Iraq to end its import of natural gas from neighboring Iran. Iraq is crippled by electricity and power shortages because of the criminal war that the US waged on that country from 2003-2011 which destroyed much of the country's infrastructure. Iraq critically needs Iranian gas supplies to keep the lights and fans running. Yet, here we have the US now dictating to Iraq to end its lifeline import of Iranian fuel in order to comply with the Trump administration's sanctions against Tehran. Iraq is furious at the latest bullying interference by Washington in its sovereign affairs. The hypocrisy of Washington and elitist politicians like Emmanuel Macron has become too much to stomach. Maybe Germany and others are finally realizing who the charlatans are. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon! Continue Reading Latest Russia Readies Own Web To Survive Global Internet Shutdown Russia is simultaneously building a mass censorship system similar to that seen in China. Published 6 days ago on February 14, 2019 By Tyler Durden Via Zerohedge… Russian authorities and major telecom operators are preparing to disconnect the country from the world wide web as part of an exercise to prepare for future cyber attacks, Russian news agency RosBiznesKonsalting (RBK) reported last week. The purpose of the exercise is to develop a threat analysis and provide feedback to a proposed law introduced in the Russian Parliament last December. The draft law, called the Digital Economy National Program, requires Russian internet service providers (ISP) to guarantee the independence of the Russian Internet (Runet) in the event of a foreign attack to sever the country's internet from the world wide web. Telecom operators (MegaFon, VimpelCom (Beeline brand), MTS, Rostelecom and others) will have to introduce the "technical means" to re-route all Russian internet traffic to exchange points approved by the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor), Russia's federal executive body responsible for censorship in media and telecommunications. Roskomnazor will observe all internet traffic and make sure data between Russian users stays within the country's borders, and is not re-routed abroad. The exercise is expected to occur before April 1, as Russian authorities have not given exact dates. The measures described in the law include Russia constructing its internet system, known as Domain Name System (DNS), so it can operate independently from the rest of the world. Across the world, 12 companies oversee the root servers for DNS and none are located in Russia. However, there are copies of Russia's core internet address book inside the country suggesting its internet could keep operating if the US cut it off. Ultimately, the Russian government will require all domestic traffic to pass through government-controlled routing points. These hubs will filter traffic so that data sent between Russians internet users work seamlessly, but any data to foreign computers would be rejected. Besides protecting its internet, Russia is simultaneously building a mass censorship system similar to that seen in China. "What Russia wants to do is to bring those router points that handle data entering or exiting the country within its borders and under its control- so that it can then pull up the drawbridge, as it were, to external traffic if it's under threat – or if it decides to censor what outside information people can access. China's firewall is probably the world's best known censorship tool and it has become a sophisticated operation. It also polices its router points, using filters and blocks on keywords and certain websites and redirecting web traffic so that computers cannot connect to sites the state does not wish Chinese citizens to see," said BBC. The Russian government started preparations for creating its internet several years ago. Russian officials expect 95% of all internet traffic locally by next year. As for Russia unplugging its internet from the rest of the world for an upcoming training exercise, well, this could potentially anger Washington because it is one less sanction that can keep Moscow contained.

Inspired by the Human Eye: New Imaging System can Help Diagnose Disease, Monitor Hazardous Substances
The iris component of the new imaging system, next to its human counterpart. The lens component is not pictured. Credit: © Gisela and Erwin Sick Chair of Micro-optics
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2, 2013—For hundreds of years, optical devices like telescopes and microscopes have relied on solid lenses that slide up and down to magnify and to focus. To tune how much light is received, conventional devices use mechanical contraptions like the blades that form the adjustable aperture in cameras. To meet demands for ever smaller imaging systems, researchers are working to create entirely unconventional ways of focusing light. In pursuit of this vision, engineers from the University of Freiburg in Germany have built a novel type of imaging system inspired by the elegance and relative mechanical simplicity of the human eye. The technology may one day lead to new imaging instruments and microscopes for use in medicine and scientific research, such as devices for detecting early signs of skin cancer or early visual cues for food spoilage.
The new imaging system is the first to demonstrate the imaging capabilities of some of these unusual focusing techniques by replacing conventional, solid lenses with the combination of a malleable lens and a liquid iris-like component. And, the researchers report, their device focuses light almost as well as its biological counterpart in people. They describe their new imaging system in a paper published today in The Optical Society's (OSA) journal Optics Letters.
Though the image processing that happens in the human brain and eye is complex, the mechanical apparatus is relatively simple. It consists of muscles that deform a stretchable lens to change the focal length, the distance between the lens and the point at which rays of light are brought to a focus. The eye's iris opens and closes to control the amount of light that can pass through the lens.
But as engineers try to shrink the size and expand the capabilities of these instruments, the imaging systems they create become overly complex and expensive. Instead of using complicated mechanisms that require moving parts to tune the focus and adjust the aperture, the Freiburg researchers looked to the eye.
"What we're doing now is a completely different means of doing the tuning," said Hans Zappe, the Gisela and Erwin Sick Professor of Micro-optics at the University of Freiburg and coauthor of the paper.
For their new device, the researchers used two imaging elements that they had demonstrated previously but had never combined into a single system. They made a lens of silicone surrounded by several miniaturized motors that adjust the focus by deforming the lens.
"You can squeeze and stretch it just like your eye squeezes and stretches its lens to adjust its focal length," Zappe explained.
In front of the lens they included an iris-like component, which contains two liquids enclosed in a single flat chamber. One liquid is opaque and surrounds the clear liquid, forming what looks like a donut of black ink. Because the clear liquid is oil-based while the dark liquid is water-based, they stay separated. And since both liquids have exactly the same density, they remain in place even if you shake or rotate the device.
Applying an electrical voltage to these liquids changes some of their properties, such as the way a droplet beads up on a surface. This behavior, called electrowetting, allowed the researchers to manipulate the liquid, expanding and contracting the dark ring to let in more or less light through the clear liquid at the center.
Zappe and his team have tested and characterized the optics of their device in detail, analyzing how much it would distort an image. Each of the two main components – the iris-like liquids and the deformable lens – can be designed to compensate for any aberrations in the other, resulting in better optical quality than would be expected if you were to consider the two components separately, Zappe said. While the new device may not be as good as the best conventional visual imagers, it is the state of the art for a tunable lens, he said.
The cylindrical device described in the new paper is roughly three centimeters in diameter and five centimeters long, and although the researchers plan to shrink the design a bit more, making a miniature version isn't their primary goal, since optical quality is inherently limited with smaller sizes. Instead, Zappe said, they hope to add more functionality.
"What we're looking at is to make really high-quality images where we have the ability to image things that a normal person wouldn't be able to see," he explained.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for January to Jeff Janda, a StarTran Bus Operator in the Public Works and Utilities Department. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Janda has worked for the City since December 2009. Co-worker Toni Kent nominated him in the category of valor for his quick action December 11 to help a bus patron needing medical attention. Janda noticed a man who had boarded his bus had difficulty running his boarding pass through the fare box. Janda asked him twice if he was all right, but the man did not respond. He then collapsed and began to have a seizure. Janda immediately called the dispatcher and requested medical assistance. When the seizure ended about 20 seconds later, Janda confirmed that the man did have a pulse.
While waiting for Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LF&R), he placed the unconscious and unresponsive man on the sidewalk and laid him on his side. After one to two minutes, the man regained consciousness and became combative, but Janda was able to keep him calm until medical help arrived. Jeff helped LF&R assess the man's condition and remained with the passenger until he was transported to the hospital. Janda has no medical training, but he said it just made sense to take the action he did. Kent said Janda went above and beyond his duty to take these potentially life-saving actions.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are productivity, customer relations, loss prevention and safety. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

She totally made it, Ali. She kept telling me she was going to make Erin a Katniss doll and I kept telling her she didn't have time and that was a bigger project than she thought and she needed to think of something simpler. So she disappeared one afternoon and came down at dinner time with this doll!! I had absolutely no influence. Actually, I take that back, I had a negative influence trying to convince her she couldn't do it. bad mom.
Whatever she thinks up in her head, she does.

Due to traveling for work, I haven't been able to watch or listen to any games. I should be getting back to home this week, and was going to strong arm DirecTv into giving me free Sunday Ticket (and dropping my bill).
However, the superstitious part of me has decided that I am not allowed to watch any games or else I might jinx the team. I did get to see a glimpse of the game after halftime while running some errands. The next time I checked the score on my phone we were losing!
I guess I am relegated to game cast and nfl mobile for the rest of the season ... :(.

Watkins Glen, a road course that covers more than 1,800 acres in upstate New York that is 250 miles northwest of New York City, suffered more than an estimated $50,000 worth of damage, according to track president Michael Printup.
Part of victory lane was ripped apart, eight billboards were blown down, grandstand signage destroyed and building trim was damaged. Trees also were blown down by winds estimated at 60 miles an hour.
Pocono Raceway, which is 100 miles west of New York City and about 100 miles north of Philadelphia, was without power Tuesday morning but only lost one of the two steeples that tower above its grandstands, according to a tweet from track president Brandon Igdalsky. The roof of Victory Tower is also partially missing and some fencing down as well.
Dover International Speedway, which is less than 10 miles west from Delaware Bay and 45 miles northwest of Rehobeth Beach, Del., did not sustain any significant damage, track spokesman Gary Camp said Tuesday morning.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway, about 80 miles northwest of Boston and 50 miles west northwest of Portsmouth, reported no damage and no loss of power.
None of the tracks have Sprint Cup races until next June, so any damage should not impact 2013 events.
The final three races of the Cup season—Texas, Phoenix and Homestead—are not in areas impacted by the storm.

Treasuries were little changed amid speculation the Federal Reserve won't signal a change next week in its program of $85 billion a month in bond purchases.
Benchmark 10-year notes fluctuated as a measure of July consumer confidence exceeded forecasts. U.S. debt is poised to end two weeks of gains after the U.S. sold $99 billion of securities over the previous three days, including seven-year debt at the highest yield since July 2011. Analysts predict data next week will show American home prices rose at the fastest pace in seven years in May and the unemployment rate dropped this month.
"We might be seeing a little risk-off sentiment in here," said Ian Lyngen, a government bond strategist at CRT Capital Group LLC in Stamford, Connecticut. "There's a lot of event risk here and there's no compelling reason to sell the market."
The U.S. 10-year note yields were little changed at 2.57% at 10:51 a.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The price of 1.75% note maturing in May 2023 was at 92 29/32. The yield has increased nine basis points this week.
Treasuries handed investors a loss of 0.2% since the end of June, with the securities poised for a third monthly decline, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index shows. The MSCI World Index of shares has returned 5.9% in July, including reinvested dividends.
Economic Data
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan final index of U.S. consumer sentiment increased to 85.1 in July from 84.1 the prior month. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for 84 in the final July gauge after a preliminary reading of 83.9.
The S&P/Case-Shiller index of U.S. home prices rose 12.4% in May from a year earlier, which would be the biggest gain since February 2006, a separate Bloomberg survey showed before the report on July 30. The U.S. jobless rate fell to 7.5% in July from 7.6% in June, while payrolls climbed by 184,000, according to economists before the Labor Department releases the figures on Aug. 2.
"Even if the headline payroll gain is near consensus, the market is not accounting for the risk of a sudden drop in the unemployment rate," Barclays Plc strategists led by Rajiv Setia in New York, wrote in a research note. "Investors should brace themselves for the likelihood of a further selloff."
Yield on 10-year notes are likely to climb faster than those on 30-year bonds, the analysts forecast.

MaxiShock™ Wire
Famous for 2 qualities:
- Has a very thick outer coating of zinc (Class IV). So it will last up to 10 years without rusting in humid climates.
- Low tensile strength. Therefore, it's very easy to wind, unwind, cut, tie and join. MaxiShock allows simple, conductive, long-lasting connections without any tools other than side-cutting pliers.
Note: Pre-wound option includes a SupaReel spool. Carry and wind-up handles sold separately (see under accessories below).
Common Uses
- 10 years probable life*
- Use for: Permanent fences
- Color: Silver
- Size: 1.7mm diameter
- Portability: Good
- Conductivity: 19 ohms per 1000 ft (lower number is better and more conductive)
- Coating: Zinc
- Ability to be seen by animals: Poor
- Breaking strength: 160 lbs
Less expensive per year of use than farm-store polywire and tape because it lasts so long.
- Attach a terminal insulator (T posts or wood posts insulators available) to beginning/end post. If fence section/length is under 1000 ft, you can attach MaxiShock directly to the terminal insulator at this end.
- Unroll MaxiShock along the fence line. (Using a SupaReel™ makes this easier.)
- Insert line posts.
- Attach insulators at desired heights on line posts and remaining end posts.
- Insert MaxiShock into insulators.
- Attach P Spring to end post and loop MaxiShock through the P Spring - just once at this point.
- By hand, pull MaxiShock tight until the P Spring is half compressed.
- Cut MaxiShock with wire cutters or a strong pair of scissors leaving about 4" to work with. Loop MaxiShock through end of P Spring again and wrap remainder tightly around fence line to secure.
- Use one of our SupaReels to rewind and store MaxiShock.
- Install and connect energizer to a ground rod and the fence.
- Turn on energizer.
- Check to make sure voltage is over 2000V.
*Probable life is not a warranty by Premier. Why not? Because we know that longevity is highly dependent upon, but not limited to, quality of installation, insulator(s) used, rope tension, animal/wind/snow/ice/vegetation pressure and UV exposure (altitude and climate).
Listed below are recommended optional components. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our fence consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

Just installed this maxishock wire. It was easy to work with and appears to be better than the locally available single strand wire. Time will tell if it will last the 10 years that they say it will, but it looks like it will outlast anything else I could have purchased locally to use.
Rachel B
This wire is a pleasure to work with, can be twisted by hand etc. It also carries a shock! extremely well. Animals that always 'tested' the fence flat don't anymore-cows, sheep, lambs and horses, the dogs dno't bother it either.

Only hours before the arrival of another winter storm, I had the pleasure of attending two extraordinary musical events in Chestnut Hill on Sunday, Jan. 27. Woodmere Art Museum resumed its series of 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon classical music recitals and showcased three core members of Tempesta di Mare Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra in a program of sonatas by Francesco Mancini. Then at 5 p.m., St. Paul's Episcopal Church offered a Choral Evensong highlighting music by Byron Adams. Both offered exceptionally well constructed and peerlessly performed musical experiences.
At Woodmere, Tempesta founders/directors Gwyn Roberts on recorder and flute and Richard Stone on theorbo were joined by harpsichordist Adam Pearl for "Five Sonatas" (actually a Sixth as an encore) composed by the late 17th and early 18th centuries Neapolitan composer, Francesco Mancini. Each was divided into four movements according to the baroque tradition of the "sonata da chiesa" (church sonata) structure — slow-fast-slow-fast — so one couldn't help but wonder if there could be any sense of variety whatsoever over the span of the 80-minute program. Anyone wondering would have been pleasantly surprised.
Throughout all six scores and all four instruments, Roberts' playing was characterized by consummate technical command and exemplary musicianship. She brought out the tonal personality of each of the three recorders as well as the flute in order to project the endlessly inventive persona of a composer whose music is essentially unknown, even to lovers of baroque music.
On the visually artistic side, Woodmere is currently exhibiting recent acquisitions, which are on display as you enter the museum. On the way to the rotunda, my eye was drawn to Amanda Bush's "Leaf River, View from the West," one of many compelling new works at Woodmere.
If anyone ever wanted to experience Anglican Choral Evensong in its most pristinely traditional yet bracingly creative manifestation, he/she should have attended the late afternoon liturgy at St. Paul's Church on Sunday, Jan. 27. Parish music director Zach Hemenway fashioned the choral portion of Evensong as a forum for the music of Byron Adams, who was in attendance.
In each setting, Adams displayed an idiomatic feel for the natural cadences of liturgical English, a deft hand at counterpoint and a masterful command over tonal harmonies spiced with modality. Under Hemenway's magisterial yet sensitive conducting, St. Paul's choir sang superbly, with tenor Jeffrey Dinsmore rendering the solo part in the "Nunc Dimittis" with haunting beauty.
Romanian-born conductor Valentin Radu will lead his Vox Renaissance Consort in a "Renaissance Candlemas" 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8, in the Episcopal Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, 8000 St. Martin's Lane (at Willow Grove Avenue). Under Radu's direction, the lushly costumed vocalists and troubadours will perform the glorious music of the Renaissance and early Baroque periods, celebrating the traditional Feast of Candlemas as the harshness of winter begins to give way to the promise of spring.
Explained Radu, "Candlemas is one of the most ancient festivals of the church. It is celebrated 40 days after Christmas, generally on Feb. 2. It is also called 'The Feast of the Presentation' since it commemorates the presentation of the Christ child in the temple in Jerusalem as well as the ritual purification of Mary, as prescribed by Mosaic law."
Tickets are $10 for students, $20 for seniors and $25 for all others. All are available at the door 45 minutes prior to concert time, and seating is unreserved. Call 610-688-2800 or visit www.VoxAmaDeus.org.


text: Here is a very beautiful acoustic driven love song which draws a picture of a moving revolution from simple to complicated. The guitars sings of older times while the organ brings in the new sound of progress. Featuring a harmonica and mandolin this instrumental piece is great for an emotional segment.

Paul222010 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 80 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
myTenantFind.co.uk and myTenantReference.co.uk
We're a firm of property managers (letting agents) based in the UK. We manage thousands of properties for landlords across the south coast of England.
We've recently acquired myTenantFind.co.uk and myTenantReference.co.uk.
This new and exciting property portal will allow private landlords (those advertising for tenants without the help of a letting agent) to upload details of their properties to our site, which we will then advertise across hundreds of property portals in the UK eg. Rightmove.co.uk, Zoopla.co.uk, primelocation.co.uk and findaproperty.co.uk.
Landlords will receive the details of potential tenants looking for 'view' the property and then choose their tenants.
This site is for private landlords who want the tenants they have found to be properly referenced. This gives the landlord peace of mind that they are only renting their property to people who are likely to make good tenants.
myTenantFind.co.uk and myTenantReference.co.uk will share a look and feel (hence the one design brief).
Landlords with property to rent in the UK!
And especially those landlords who do not like to employ a letting agency in order to find their tenants.
UK landlords cannot advertise individual properties on the major property portals. This leaves most private landlords with the only option of advertising in newspaper classified ads. The problem is that all the good tenants are looking for their properties online (Rightmove.co.uk, Zoopla.co.uk, primelocation.co.uk and findaproperty.co.uk)...
That's where myTenantFind.co.uk comes in. We help landlords who are looking for tenants.
With us, landlords get to advertise their properties on all the major property portals (something which they can normally only do through a letting agent) which means they get LOADS more responses than they would if they just advertised in the newspapers.
Landlords, landlords, landlords!!
We're looking for a logo for myTenantFind.co.uk and myTenantReference.co.uk. We've put the two logos on the same design brief because the logos should be pretty much the same.
We're looking for a simple typeface logo that may or may not include an icon/graphic. You should keep in mind that our logo will be reproduced on the property portals (alongside the properties we'll be advertising) and is shown pretty small, so please don't design anything too intricate.
Our brand values are 'value for money', 'ease of use' and 'highly effective'.
We like:
'Web 2' / 'Web 3' logos.
1-3 colours
Bold, simple design
Logos that look good small
We don't like:
Stock images
Too many colours
Thanks for reading and we look forward to receiving your design.
Good luck!

4.0 player here, I bought these with the hope that they would be soft enough to help my medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow). Unfortunately, after about 8 hours on the strings, I haven't noticed a significant improvement over my old standby prince duraflex synthetic strings. That being said, I'm loving the power this string provides with the same strokes.
best value of string i have ever bought...perfect string for my k-0 wilson ... will not stretch and lasts longer that any synthetic gut i have used...for over half the price... of this string...
This HEAD syn-gut 16 gauge string is perfect for players who hit the courts often and hit a lot of balls. Durable and inexpensive. Highly recommend this tring for all club, high school, or neighborhood players
The string was just what we needed. It came highly recommended by my daughter's coach and he was so right!
I really like this string and have ordered it again. It has allowed me to create much more spin on my strokes and also seems to grip the ball longer, allowing more control. My only critique is that it seems to dirty and wear quicker than normal string due to its twisted filament design. Once one thin filament breaks, the rest are soon to follow. From talking to others, this seems to be a common issue with hybrid strings. Given that, I will continue to buy this.
I'm a 4.0 player and I had tennis elbow in the past and I need gentle strings to my arm. I was using Prince premier multifilament 18G and I liked it enough without hurting my wrist/elbow/shoulder. ButI I fell in love with this Head Rip control multifilament 18 G because it is much more forgiving yet brings power and control! The price is better too. I don't know how durable it would be since I only hit with it 3 times (2 hrs each). So far, so good! Why have I not heard about this string before?
I am a 4.5 senior player.. this is a great string for playing and the price,,, I break a lot of string... this is the best string I have found...
Nice overall string plays well and wears good,works good as a half set in the crosses with a premium in the mains
I am using Prince tennis rackets and looking for tennis string to be happy with for the same time. Finaly found it. This Head synthetic gut PPS 16G is the best I ever played with. Great combination of power and control and perfect for few different Prince rackets.
Very good middle of the road synthetic gut. Good price point especially with sale, consistent quality, easy to string. also a nice choice to put into a hybrid stringing as well
This is one of the few strings that I've tried that doesn't lead to tennis elbow. This string typically lasts me about three weeks hitting 3-4 times a week.
these strings are dependable, comfortable, and come in variety of colors; highly recommend these all serious club or tournament players
This string is ok, not great. I would rate the control lower to other string I've played with. The price was good, but I would try something else next time.
This string offers power,feel and price !! Its a great string and I love hitting with it .
I used to use another multifilament, especially for stringing other people's racquets. But that string is no longer available, so I now use this product from Head. It's soft, has good feel, and seems to have good elasticity. And its more reasonably priced than an nxt or technifibre product.
I've tried different strings for topspin and this is by far the best! It has a lot more grab on the ball, which helps get more topspin and combined with the softness, helps with feel. My daughter hits with some pretty hard hitters and tried Luxilon & other string of the same type and ended up with a hand and arm injury within a few weeks of each other. She went back to the Rip Control and hasn't had another
This is a great string, I use this with head sonic and its a great combination, it gives me good spin and power and I wouldn't change it, recommend trying the string. Its also a great price, retail at a pro shop its close to 20$
I am an advanced player and needed to have a string that provided me with power and also with spin so when I found sonic pro it was amazing. It is a very soft poly unlike luxilon, and it provides you with that extra spin. I highly recommend this string for any player that is looking for some spin and control for there big swings
I decided to use this string instead of a less expensive brand and it made all the difference. More control with just the right amount of control. Such a smooth feel. I will always order this string.
Great control and spin at various string tensions. Initially used the string at a clay court tournament. Have used for 6 years on all surfaces and love it.
This is a very good string for the player that is looking for more control then power. I have been putting this string in a larger number of players that I string for and in most cases this is a good string for them. If you are looking for control and good tension I would give this a try.

Stronghold Motorsports Class 1 - Masterpiece In MetalPosted in Features on May 12, 2014
When you think of Stronghold Motorsports, you probably associate the name with short-course racing. Founded in 2009, Scott and Beverly Bailey had made it their mission to create the first off-road super team. Over the years, the team has successfully become a name that's synonymous with the sport of short-course by housing some of the sports' top-tier drivers, but now they're broadening their horizons and setting their sights on desert racing.
Off-road desert racing may seem like a drastic move to some, but it's where it all started for Scott Bailey. As a kid, Scott grew up in Moreno Valley, California, next door to the historic Riverside International Raceway. This sparked excitement within him, but at the time, his life was fully consumed by raising a family and growing a successful business. However, a newfound friendship with Troy Herbst allowed Bailey to become more involved with his passion by helping out Herbst's team at the races. As time passed, Bailey began to have more free time and created Stronghold Motorsports. Eventually, he campaigned a 7200 truck for a few seasons. However, the truck's V-6 motor proved to be too frustrating for Scott, and he threw in the towel.
Scott needed something with more speed, which is why he elected to go with an Alumi Craft Class 1. Alumi Craft had already built a couple of LOORRS Super Buggies for Stronghold Motorsports, so it seemed like a no brainer to have them build their next desert machine. "I like John [Cooley] a lot, and I knew he could create what we were trying to accomplish," explained Bailey. "The basis of our design is a shrunken-down version of the Alumi Craft Grande four-seater pre-runner buggy. However, it had upgrades to beef up the chassis, so it could take a beating while racing out in the desert."
The Best In The Desert BlueWater Parker 425 was the maiden race for Stronghold's new fire-breathing machine, and with Brandon and Scott Bailey, as well as Larry Job behind the wheel, they were able to produce a second-place finish in the grueling race. "We could not be happier," said Bailey. "For a brand-new car right out of the box, all we have basically done is very minor shock tuning. How could you not be elated?" With such staggering results, the Baileys and Stronghold Motorsports plans to expand their presence in the desert further. Let's take a look at what could the basis for the next desert-racing super team.

When Bill Crutchfield founded his company in 1974, he was busy turning his personal hobby of restoring antique cars into a side business. (Hands-on projects weren't new for him: as a kid growing up in Charlottesville, Virginia, he built multiple sound systems, including a two-way radio for his bike, and the first stereo system in the state.) However, when Bill tried – and failed -- to find a specialist to help him put an aftermarket radio in a Porsche 356, he recognized an opportunity: to create a mail-order car stereo business for do-it-yourselfers across the nation.
The first year was tough. Bankers and suppliers were hard to sell on the new idea, and sales were small. Bill persevered, writing his own catalog, filling his mother's garage with inventory, taking customer calls himself, even in the middle of the night, and driving the packages to the post office in the back of his father's Lincoln. Finally, he realized the only way to make the business a success was to get help from his customers.
Our customers had the answer.
Early in 1975, Bill wrote to his customers asking what they liked and didn't like about the business. The responses were game-changing – it turned out customers loved the products and Bill's hands-on service, but were intimidated by the process and know-how involved in installing a car stereo. Armed with this discovery and his own first-hand installation experience, Bill transformed his business by adding deep levels of information to his catalogs – and Crutchfield took off.
We've grown a lot since then – we have over 450 employees and we've helped more than 6 million customers, and counting.
But some things haven't changed.
Crutchfield is still headquartered in Bill's hometown of Charlottesville, VA, and Bill is still at the helm. Most important of all, Bill's belief in exceptional customer service and detailed, expert information continue to drive us today.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 drops September 25 with 5.7-inch display, faux-leather shell
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Google
At today's Unpacked event, Samsung announced its new S Pen-powered Galaxy Note 3, a bigger version of the large smartphone, with much improved internals. Aiming to end the talk of people complaining about the cheap plastic feel of Samsung devices, the company has given the Note 3 a faux-leather backing. You get a 5.7-inch 1080p display (up from 5.5 on the Note 2,) and the device will support the new LTE Category 4 as well as the new Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch. You get a 13 megapixel camera on back, with a 2 megapixel version up front, and the rear camera can record in up to 4K resolution at 30fps, a first for a smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will start shipping on September 25th rocking Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, available in black, white, and pink.

San Diego County closed out 2012 with foreclosures at their lowest level in six years, says a report released Wednesday from local real estate information company DataQuick.
The consistent drop in the number of people losing their homes to bank repossessions appears to be a product of an economy on the mend, increasing home values and government-led deals with major banks that promise borrowers alternatives to foreclosure, DataQuick officials said.
December foreclosures plummeted to 355, the lowest level since December 2006, when 288 were recorded. December's total is nearly 18 percent lower than November's and half of December 2011's.
Default notices, the first official filing in the foreclosure process, totaled 878. That's up 7.2 percent from November but down nearly 30 percent from the same month a year ago.
Why is this happening?
"Home values increased through most of 2012, and the rate of increase picked up toward the end of the year," said DataQuick President John Walsh in this week's report, referring to California as a whole. "That means fewer and fewer homeowners are underwater, where they owe more than their homes are worth.
"That in turn means they can sell and pay off the mortgage, or perhaps refinance at today's low interest rates," Walsh added. "This trend alone suggests we'll see a continued decline in foreclosure rates this year."'
Related: SD home prices highest in 4½ years
Both foreclosure and mortgage defaults in San Diego County showed drastic fluctuations between roughly 2007 and 2011. But 2012 marked consistent hallmark decreases in both categories, which are far off their peaks.
The county's foreclosure level is now 82 percent below the all-time high of 2004, logged in July 2008. With mortgage defaults, we're about 77 percent below the peak of 3,832, which was recorded in March 2009.
There are several factors that have helped push down the county's amount of housing distress.
The first one is home-price dynamics. They've stayed flat or gone up during the past 11 months and rose 20 percent from start to finish in 2012. Active home listings have fallen to at least a three-year low, causing would-be buyers in certain hot spots to compete for limited supply.
Another continued theme in the distressed-market story is the rise of short sales, which overtook foreclosure resales in market share in 2012, marking a pivotal moment in the local housing market.
Nearly 30 percent of homes transactions in December were short sales, near the all-time high of 31.2 percent set in January 2012, DataQuick numbers show. Short sales let struggling homeowners sell their properties for less than what they still owe with lender approval.
Let's not forget settlements between major banks and federal regulators.
A $25 billion deal was entered in the spring that settled long-standing accusations of mortgage abuses against five companies: Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo, Chase and Ally. The banks promised to provide relief to troubled borrowers.
About two-thirds of that help arrived to state borrowers in the form of short sales, according to a report from a watchdog appointed to oversee the terms and progress of the deal.

About iCleverUserName
As someone who worked for the IRS, I am always surprised at these stories. I don't know how employees in/around me would be able to get such information without multiple systems alerting higher ups.
I had the system alert my bosses several times and my requests were completely legal.
I am not saying the story is wrong....I just have worked in several cities and thought I knew the IRS system fairly well.
One would think that religious people would be outraged at life-saving drugs being kept at sky-rocketing prices so that most can't use them.
Then again, according to some, Jesus loves the free market even more.
Republicans using the very government they "hate" to shut down a free-market corporation? Shocking
Awesome. I can continue downloading shows in HD quality off bittorrent until they eventually allow me to pay for ad-free videos the day after airing?
The pricing is already getting out of control and anyone who thinks Verizon, AT&T and others won't offer certain sites with good speeds....for extra $$$...is crazy, imo.
I am close to cutting the cord and I am as big of a TV fanatic as there is.
Shocking to see a someone like him spewing hatred while turning around and claiming that they are very religious and love "free speech"
every night asking themselves how they can be bigger douchebags tommorrow
Isn't that how the US government operates daily?
Also found this googling the woman on facebook that states that she works at On Press Inc. It seems she has pissed off others as well (not really that surprising). I hadn't seen the other persons name though.
"Just as a friendly reminder. when quoting someone elses work, be sure to site where the source is coming from or you too could deal with extra annoying emails from people such as Bill Slateson and Alexandria Hopewell from the alleged On Press Inc. heres their website, looks legit right? doubtful. How some people chose to spend their time is beyond me. http://onpressinc.com/"
I don't disagree but the responses from the company seem to be so bizarre and off that I can't really seem to figure out if a young teenager is typing this because of the insults....or a foreigner that enjoys coming off as slightly coherent.
Did anyone notice that someone on Facebook has been using the regular language of On Press, Inc?
Then you look at this woman's profile and it shows her work/employment as "On Press, Inc"
I am curious if she is a supposed employee of these people

I dream a dream.......dammit, it is back in my head now
I hate you Hugh Jackson
You don't know his position on Copyright issues?
Have you even read this blog before this idiot lady made a laughable claim?
Trying to act big with the "You won't get rid of me!" type posts really doesn't make you anything other than someone so darn desperate to change the story from the stupidity of this woman to.....Mike's opinion on copyright which is very apparent from a reading of his stories here.
"Don't you think Mike's personal beliefs matter?"
On what? Tech news?
Have you actually read his articles? I think virtually every writer here is pretty clear in their opinions in almost all articles.
What specifically is lacking? Do you have any specific topics or posts that show this huge lack of personal belief?
Also, do you understand how absolutely laughable it is that we are talking about this in relation to the story? It would be comical if not so pathetic
BTW, why is Teri hiding behind these fake accounts with absurd "You don't give your opinion!" posts as if anyone here gives a hoot?
We see this sites opinion virtually every day if not most articles....so I am not sure what in the hell that even means.
"shit on everyone else's beliefs about copyright"
Everyone else's beliefs.....who are these "Everyone else" people?
The �Mark of the Beast�? Just take off the Republican tag then....

I can not keep myself from wondering from Ikhwan Online reached to that secret and exclusive meeting. Also how the official website of the Muslim brotherhood says that McCain gave orders to the National Salvation Front regarding next January 25 anniversary , well McCain met with Morsi and Muslim brotherhood's officials as well.Did he give them orders too !?
Ikhwan Online knew that former State security officer M. M who is currently working in the Passports authority in Qalyubia security directorate had a meeting with 4 officers from the Homeland security "formerly known as State security" in the governorate at his office in the directorate !!
A Screen Capture for the news !!
The sources assured that the goal of that meeting is to discuss the visit of Senator John McCain to The National Salvation Front and how to implement the American instructions to the front in the upcoming period especially in the upcoming anniversary of the January 25 revolution.
This news is a copy cat from the Mubarak media in a disgusting way !! You got now Americans+Homeland Security+National Salvation front X The poor Muslim brotherhood.
Of course this news will not be found in Ikhwan Web and probably if you ask Gehad El Haddad about it he will deny it and probably the news will be removed afterwards
Again this is the official website of Muslim brotherhood in Arabic in Egypt.

Well, I'm sorry to see One Life to Live is getting the axe from ABC after all these years, but I must confess I feel a tinge of satisfaction because of what that show did to me 35 years ago. Not that I'm one to hold a grudge, but still…
You see, I became quite hooked on OLTL near the end of my junior year in college. I'd been married that May, and while my bride Cindy was out earning a living as a substitute teacher in New Brunswick, New Jersey, I was running out the clock at Rutgers, taking a handful of gut courses and filling the gaps between them watching TV (Stanley Siegel at 9 in the morning; One Life To Live at 2 p.m.). This was during a weird period when One Life to Live went 45 minutes, and General Hospital followed with another 45 minutes, having just expanded from a half-hour each. Frankly, I didn't feel anything more was happening per episode; it just seemed the characters started staring at each other for longer periods.
I think I was watching OLTL because I liked the character Joe Riley, who was a reporter and then editor for the Llanview Banner.
Despite his propensity for brain tumors, Joe was a hard-driving newsman, and at the time that's what I wanted to be (I got over it). He was married to Viki Lord, the daughter of the newspaper's owner, the tall, distinguished, and very old Victor Lord. He lived in the stately mansion called Llanfair-which I subsequently learned was named for the real-life Welsh coastal town called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Unfortunately, Victor had fallen under the spell of the vixen Dorian Cramer, who married him and then, through withholding vital medicine, caused him to fall into a coma.
Each day Cindy-who'd been watching One Life to Live for years, ever since the innocent young Jenny Wolek had left the convent to marry the doomed Dr. Tim Siegel, but that's another story-would come home and breathlessly debrief me about what had transpired in Llanview that day (this, gentle reader, was in a day when if you wanted to make a video recording of a TV show, you needed to own your own television station).
Well, I don't know what I was thinking. I must have imagined this would be funny. Clearly, having been married for just a month or so, I didn't quite understand the gravity of my subsequent actions. But one night Cindy came home, asked me what had happened on One Life to Live that day, and I blurted out, "Victor's been faking his coma. Dorian came into the hospital room, and he jumped out of bed, grabbed a lamp and crushed her skull!" That wasn't quite true. In fact, nothing of the sort had happened; it had been a particularly dull day on the show, a Monday, probably, which at least in those days you could count on as being the day of the week when the soap writers pretty much ran in place.
I can still see the look on Cindy's face: The mouth agape, the eyebrows flung upward, almost beyond her hairline. I could have told her I'd opened the refrigerator and found a baboon reciting the St. Crispin's Day speech from Henry V and she would not have been more shocked.
"WHAT???" she croaked, and immediately I knew I was in serious, serious trouble.
I knew my only hope was to take it back with a take-back so swift she may doubt the original statement ever left my lips.
"Nah, I'm just joking," I ventured. "Victor's still in his coma."
Alas, I suppose there were no words that could have prevented the maelstrom, stirred from the very bowels of hell, that immediately engulfed me. I learned, then and there, that you do not trifle with people when it comes to their soap operas. Decades later-in fact, for the rest of her life-if ever I appeared to be on the verge on gaining the upper hand in a disagreement, Cindy's eyes would narrow, and I knew what was coming next, with a hiss that resembled the sound of a steam engine coming to rest:
"And you lied to me about Victor Lord."
Yes, guilty as charged. But I still think my plot twist was the better one.
