Mark di Suvero Artworks
American Sculptor
Movement: Modern Sculpture
Born: September 18, 1933 - Shanghai, China
Artworks by Mark di Suvero
The below artworks are the most important by Mark di Suvero - that both overview the major creative periods, and highlight the greatest achievements by the artist.
Artwork Images
Untitled (1961-62)
Artwork description & Analysis: Untitled consists of individual pieces that arise vertically from an irregularly shaped flat base. The wooden block at the left is set at an angle upon its corner and attached to a curved, unsteady-looking pedestal. Tipped to the left, it creates visual tension with the two bent and tilted vertical pieces of steel affixed to the right. While the sculpture looks physically off-balance, it is also visually off-balance and asymmetrical. It does not conform to the typical sculpture as a singular object, since at that the very bottom left of the composition, a winding snake of steel sits just off the edge of the base. At the time, di Suvero approached many of his works intuitively. As a result, the complex yet elegant assemblages often contain an improvisational quality. The precarious arrangement of the elements in Untitled, animates them with gesture, which harks back to the gestural abstraction of the Abstract Expressionist action painters that di Suvero was so fond of.
Wood, stainless steel and steel - Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation
Artwork Images
Ladderpiece (1961-1962)
Artwork description & Analysis: This large-scale work uses the same principles and elements of Di Suvero's other works of this era, and it also acts as a foundation for his later large-scale compositions. Made of pieces of wood and steel that are (remnants of) found objects, they are balanced and tilted in relation to each other, therefore combined to create an internal balance within the work. The central axis in Ladderpiece, is a strong diagonal, providing a distinct sense of dynamism and tension, with the movement is directed both upward and downward as the axis seems to simultaneously reach skyward and anchor the sculpture to the ground. The linear elements of the work act almost like three-dimensional drawings in space and the use of raw wood and old chains, as well as the construction, suggests ruins. As a junk sculpture, it is made of items that have had a utilitarian purpose or a history as part of other functioning objects.
Wood and steel - Museum of Modern Art, New York
Artwork Images
Poland (1966)
Artwork description & Analysis: Poland is a good example of di Suvero's work from the 1960s in which he incorporated discarded industrial materials such as leftover lengths of I-beams and other found scrap steel. These types of materials become increasingly important to his work, especially as he expands the scale of his work to more monumental sizes. Despite the weight of its various elements, Poland has the capacity to become animated through motion, which is an innovation in modern sculpture, referred to as kinetic sculpture. The suspended ball, which can swing back and forth references wrecking balls used in construction. The abstract object attached to it prevents the work from mimicking the equipment exactly, even while suggesting its use on destroyed buildings. Such imagery derives di Suvero's own background. The base of the pendulum is certainly "crane-like" in form.
Wire and Steel - Lynden Sculpture Garden
Artwork Images
Gandydancer's Dream (1988)
Artwork description & Analysis: This composition is based on a multitude of parallel and perpendicular geometric planes, which interlock and overlap to create an almost labyrinthian conglomerate of shapes. The manmade quality of these elements is accentuated by di Suvero's use of his signature shade of bright red and black. As suggested by its title, this sculpture pays homage to so-called Gandy dancers; railroad workers who worked in groups and timed their rhythmic movements through musical chants. Meanwhile the "gandy" was the tool that was used as a lever to move the tracks. Di Suvero captures the sense of co-dependency inherent in this subject by counterbalancing distinct elements, such as the dominant red wheel shape and a thick black beam that serves as the work's stabilizing agent. In addition, he also allows for musical movement by introducing a kinetic element and allowing a part of the sculpture to rotate and sway.
Painted steel - J. Paul Getty Museum
Artwork Images
Mozart's Birthday (1989)
Artwork description & Analysis: Created when di Suvero was well-established, the foundations of his aesthetic are present but with additional flourishes. Here, I-beams create a stable structure made of two triangular steel foundations. These vertical peaks hold the edges of the work, while two other beams lean against it. He has added curved strips of steal that orbit around joints and on the end; he suspends an inverted triangle, therefore implying movement.
Steel - Storm King Art Center, New York
Artwork Images
Joie de Vivre (1998)
Artwork description & Analysis: Located at Zuccotti Park in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, Joie de Vivre rises up no less than 70 feet off the ground. It is based on "open-ended tetrahedrons", which in geometry describe polyhedrons composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners. While reflecting di Suvero's keen interest in combining mathematics with expressive freedom, it also reveals an experienced engineer's focus on precision. The incredible weight of each section requires an utmost reliable and stable architecture to guarantee the overall balance of the work.

Jim Young/Reuters
- President Donald Trump has continued his threats to impose tariffs on all Chinese imports to the US.
- China's government put out a video featuring a soybean, seemingly pushing against Trump's trade policies.
- Follow soybean prices in real time here.
As American farmers start to wonder how much President Donald Trump's trade war with Beijing could cost them, China's government has a cartoon soybean ready to answer their questions.
State-owned China Global Television Network in July posted a video, first spotted by Reuters, seemingly designed to undermine support for Trump's trade policies. It points out the potential consequences trade escalations could have on American soybean exports, underscoring that China is the world's largest soy importer.
"Hi, everybody. I am a soybean," the cartoon says in the video. "I may not look like much, but I am very important."
Ahead of the upcoming US midterm elections, the English-narrated video seems to have a certain audience in mind. Nine of the top 10 soybean-growing states in the US voted for Trump, it highlights.
"Trump wants to win over more voters by starting a trade war," the cartoon says. "The funny thing is that those voters who think Trump rally behind his trade actions will be hurt by this conflict."
China on Friday said it would impose retaliatory tariffs on about $60 billion worth of US goods if the Trump administration continued to escalate a trade war between the two countries.
Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on nearly all Chinese imports to the US. Administration officials said last month it could raise the proposed tariff rate on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25% from 10%.
The administration imposed punitive duties on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports to the US in early July and said another $16 billion worth of electronics and plastics would be targeted after a public comment period. The move prompted Beijing to hit back with in-kind tariffs on American imports to China, including soybeans.
Soybean prices have fallen nearly 20% since March, when the Trump administration first announced plans to penalize China for alleged intellectual property theft and what the president sees as unfair trade practices.

Bright sparks need to rethink electric car charging plans
UKIP transport spokesman Jill Seymour has called for more 'joined-up thinking' from Government departments to prevent their latest electric vehicle growth plans from blowing a fuse.
Mrs Seymour, a West Midlands MEP, was responding to news of plans to fit hundreds of thousands of extra electric charging points – which could see new homes and offices compelled to include them.
It follows a report from the RAC which warned that the current growth in electric car sales could soon stall because of a lack of convenient charging points across the UK.
She said: "Before we start getting too excited about this latest Government idea, I'd suggest a bit more joined-up thinking from their transport and housing departments.
"On one hand we have transport secretary Chris Grayling championing this idea that people will be able to charge their electric vehicles at their own homes.
"And on the other, we have a housing policy which is trying to cram as many new properties into an area as possible – meaning there is often no room for off-street parking.
"This makes the idea of having electric charging points at new houses very difficult – unless the Government want to start clogging up roads on housing estates by encouraging lines of electric vehicles on each side?"
She added: "There is no disputing the fact that electrically propelled vehicles are now a serious option for many families, but the charging infrastructure is not keeping pace, and hasn't been properly thought through.
"I fully support the installation of rapid charging stations in towns and cities to facilitate the growth of zero emission vehicles.
"But the Government must also encourage off-street parking and charging provision in all new housing and industrial developments by laying down rules for developers, through the local planning process."

RADA's 'Attenborough project' redevelopment plans to transform RADA Studios on Chenies Street have been approved unanimously by Camden Council.
The project will transform the building into a vibrant, state-of-the-art performance space while retaining original features of the former Drill Hall, which was acquired by RADA in 2012.
The redevelopment will comprise a new 300-seat theatre, to be named the Richard Attenborough Theatre after RADA's former President; a new ground floor refectory open to public access; enhanced learning resources including library and archives; and RADA's first ever on-site accommodation for 60 students. The plans were drawn up by RADA with local architects Haines Phillips.
Edward Kemp, Director of RADA and Principal of the Conservatoire, said: "We are delighted that we are a step closer to realising our exciting plans for RADA Studios. The Attenborough Theatre will provide a state-of-the-art performance venue for audiences and events in Camden, and a space for the next generation of innovative theatre-makers to showcase their work. The student accommodation will help ensure that we can continue to offer places to the most talented students purely on the basis of that talent, irrespective of financial background. It will enable RADA to continue its long heritage as a world-leading centre of theatre education, and will act as a celebration and tribute to Lord Attenborough, who worked tirelessly on behalf of RADA throughout his life and career."
RADA President Sir Kenneth Branagh said: "I am very pleased to hear that the plans for RADA have been approved today, and that the Academy can move forward with plans for a new professional theatre space and the much-needed student accommodation. I am delighted to see RADA continuing to nurture and support generations of acting and technical talent, with the help of these new, state-of-the-art resources."

Anti-aging pills that keep you healthy, no matter how old you get, seem like a myth. After all, if there is one thing you know about getting old it's this: you're going to get sick.
Be it from heart disease, or cancer, or Alzheimer's disease, or diabetes, or some other serious ailment, you're sure that getting older means getting sicker.
Unfortunately, your belief about growing old isn't unfounded. Older people do fall ill more frequently than younger people. In fact, the overwhelming majority of people suffer ill health in their later years and most ultimately die from their illness.
But, all of that may be about to change, thanks to science.
After decades of dedicated work, researchers are finally starting to piece together exactly how and why you become ill as you age. And this clearer picture of aging is opening up the possibility, for the first time in history, of developing targeted treatments to prevent it.
We, finally, have the chance to create real-life (completely myth-less!) anti-aging pills.
Read Next: How to Prolong Your Life: Tips from a Nutritional Anthropologist
In this article, we will review the four leading candidates for anti-aging pills that researchers now think could help slow aging and keep you healthy as you grow older.
For each candidate, we will describe how it works in the body and explore the research that has bumped it to the top of the anti-aging hopefuls.
Disclosure – This post contains affiliate links. Click here for details.
4 Anti-Aging Pills That May Lengthen Healthy Lifespan
1. Rapamycin
What Is Rapamycin?
Researchers first discovered rapamycin in a type of soil bacteria. It was first interesting to scientists because it had antifungal properties. With more research, though, scientists found that it also helped to suppress the immune system, slowed the spread of disease, regulated cell growth and influenced metabolism.
Most recently, researchers discovered that rapamycin can also modulate aging and the development of age-related diseases.
How Rapamycin Helps Lengthen Healthy Lifespan: The Evidence
Most studies testing the effectiveness of rapamycin for longevity have been done on mice.
Many studies carried out from 2009 to 2011 caused ripples in the world of anti-aging research; they found that rapamycin, indeed, lengthened mice's lives.
The question of whether it actually helped to slow aging (kept the mice healthy while they lived longer), however, remained unanswered.
Researchers published many studies over the next several years and had contradictory results.
One study published in 2012 by researchers at the University of Michigan found that rapamycin did slow aging. They found that rapamycin could slow liver damage and improve general cell health, uterine health, and the function of other organs.
Another study, however, found that rapamycin had limited anti-aging effects and that these were probably related to its tumor-suppressing effects. Similar results came from another study.
So, while rapamycin appears to have some positive effects on aging in animal studies, it is too early in the research game for this pill to call it a miracle drug for humans. Researchers are hopeful, though, that it might prove to be a powerful tool in our fight against age-related diseases!
Where Can You Get Rapamycin?
Rapamycin, often known as Sirolimus, is an "anti-aging pill" not available over-the-counter. Doctors must prescribe rapamycin to patients because it may also prove to have serious side effects, including an increased likelihood of cancer or serious infection.
2. Curcumin
What Is Curcumin?
Curcuma longa, the plant from which turmeric is derived, has long been used in Asia as a medicinal herb and spice. Researchers believe that curcumin, a component in the turmeric spice, is responsible for many of the health properties of the root.
Studies show that curcumin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cancer-fighting properties.
How Curcumin Helps Lengthen Healthy Lifespan: The Evidence
Studies in Worms
One study examined the potential anti-aging effects of curcumin in C. elegans, which is the scientific name for a type of roundworm. Researchers found that curcumin did, indeed increase lifespan, and reduced free radicals associated with cell aging in these worms.
Curcumin's antioxidative properties were found to be responsible for fighting the free radicals, protecting the worm's cells from damage and disease, and increasing their lifespan.
Studies in Fruit Flies
A similar study was carried out with two different strains of fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) that were fed curcumin.
Researchers found that curcumin extended the lifespan of both strains of fruit flies. And, like the group that studied the roundworms, these researchers also detected protection against free radicals and improved cell health.
Interestingly, this study found that the flies who ate curcumin had differences in how their cells read their DNA. Flies whose diets contained curcumin had fewer aging genes turned on than those that didn't.
This means curcumin may be able to slow aging and age-related diseases right at the very root of cellular health.
Excitingly, these results could be confirmed by a second study!
Studies in Mice
A third group of studies were carried out with mice, which helped to determine that curcumin could influence the longevity of more complex animals.
Curcumin was found to improve protect against free radicals, improve artery function (i.e. reduce the risk of heart disease), reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease and help mice with dysfunctions in brain circulation (i.e. reduce the risk of other dementias).
Studies in Humans
Unfortunately, there are no human clinical trials looking at aging and curcumin, yet.
So far, we only have a few studies carried out on human skin cells. Importantly, though, these studies matched the results from studies on animals. They showed the same protection against free radicals we'd seen in animal cells.
This doesn't prove that curcumin can slow aging and disease in humans, for sure, but it does suggest it really could!
Where Can You Get Curcumin?
You can get curcumin in the form of some simple turmeric at your local grocery store.
If you'd like a more potent punch, though, you can buy pure curcumin supplement. Here are a couple curcumin supplement brands we love!
Bio Schwartz Premium Ultra Pure Turmeric Curcumin With BioPerine
This is a best-seller on Amazon.com, and boasts the highest potency available. It is natural and non-GMO, and contains a patented black-pepper formula (BioPerine) to boost absorption. It has 4.5 stars based on almost 10,000 reviews and is super affordable!
This curcumin supplement comes in softgel form, which may be easier for you to swallow. In addition to having high-potency curcumin, it also contains black cumin seed, ginger, and patented AstraGin, increasing absorbability to over 90%.
3. Green Tea/EGCG
What Is EGCG?
EGCG is short for epigallocatechin gallate, which is a component in tea leaves. It is found in green tea, white tea, and black tea, but found in much higher quantities in green tea than the other two. EGCG is a type of antioxidant that is known for having special positive effects on heart and metabolic health.
How EGCG Helps Lengthen Healthy Lifespan: The Evidence
Unlike the previous two anti-aging pill candidates, researchers have tested EGCG (in the form of green tea, usually) in humans.
Studies have shown positive effects of 2-3 cups of green tea (containing about 200-300 mg EGCG per cup) on heart health, diabetes, brain health and longevity in humans.
Where Can You Get EGCG?
You can pick up EGCG in the form of green tea or pick up a concentrated EGCG supplement. Check out our favorite brands of each!
Prince of Peace 100% Organic Green Tea
If you prefer the green tea experience to supplements, we recommend Prince of Peace Organic Green Tea. Each box contains 100 tea bags, at a very affordable price. It is also certified organic, so you can be sure you aren't drinking any nasty pesticides.
Nature's Wellness Green Tea Extract
These high-potency ECGC capsules also contain other beneficial components found in green tea, like slow-releasing caffeine. They have 4.5 stars on Amazon, and each affordable bottle provides 2 months of supplements.
4. SIRT1 Activators
What Are SIRT1 Activators?
Sirtuin type 1 (SIRT1, for short) is an enzyme found naturally in your body. When activated SIRT1 has powerful antioxidative properties that help to protect against cellular damage and disease.
SIRT1-activators are naturally-occurring compounds that do just what their name suggests: they activate SIRT1.
How SIRT1 Activators Help Lengthen Healthy Lifespan: The Evidence
SIRT1 has been widely studied in animal models over the past several years. The evidence shows that activated SIRT1 can improve cellular health, directly turn off cellular processes that cause aging and extend lifespan in animals.
The data is so impressive that, even though we don't have studies in humans yet, one group of researchers felt confident enough to write: "it is hard to deny the potential of Sirt1-activating compounds for the treatment of many diseases such as cancer and type-2 diabetes, thereby improving human health and life expectancy."
In other words, it is difficult to deny that SIRT1 activators will almost certainly be able to promote health and help fight aging in humans.
Where Can You Get SIRT1 Activators?
SIRT1 activators are found naturally in foods with high antioxidant content (such as capers, lovage apple, tea, onions, citrus fruits, green vegetables, and berries). You can also find them in some antioxidant-rich or anti-inflammatory supplements (such as DHA Omega-3 Fatty Acid capsules).
Take Home Message
For all of human history, aging, and getting sick while we age, was an unavoidable part of life. Thanks to recent breakthroughs in aging science, we now know that this may not be entirely true.
Rapamycin, curcumin, EGCG, and SIRT1-activators are the leading serious candidates for our first ever anti-aging pills, and there is real scientific evidence that they may work. Healthier aging may very well be on the horizon!

Accidents can happen anywhere. Drivers who are distracted behind the wheel can cause a crash or fatalities throughout San Diego. There are certain things drivers and pedestrians can do in order to prevent an incident, such as driving the speed limit and using the crosswalks. According to a new study, avoiding certain areas may also be a way to sidestep an accident.
Report: Fatal hit-and-run accidents on the rise in San Diego
When a car accident occurs, the people involved are supposed to move their vehicles to a safe location when possible, call authorities and exchange information. All too often in San Diego, however, the responsible party flees the scene. A hit-and-run accident can be devastating, not only in terms of physical injury but also because the negligent driver may never be brought to justice. Across the county, more and more of these accidents are happening, and they involve pedestrians.
Wrong-way motorist causes fatal accident in California
There is little doubt that some intersections and roads can be confusing for a driver. Motorists unfamiliar with San Diego roads may be unsure of navigating some traffic patterns. However, that should be cause for driving with caution, as doing otherwise could cause a fatal accident. Drivers who willingly behave in a reckless manner do more than put themselves at risk, as a recent incident illustrates.
California dog attacks boy, controversially set to be euthanized
When an animal lashes out at a human, there are several outcomes that may occur. Sometimes, pets in San Diego may be quarantined, labeled as "dangerous" and then returned to an owner with strict guidelines. In other situations, such as a vicious dog attack, animals may be euthanized. There are many people who object to putting down an animal, even one that has harmed someone.
Experts: Medicating toddlers for ADHD may be dangerous
Parents have an obligation to protect their children from harm. For many individuals in San Diego, that sense of duty will bring them into a doctor's office at the first hint of any medical issue their child may be experiencing. While seeking the advice of a professional is a good idea, it may be dangerous to jump to conclusions. In fact, failure to treat an issue appropriately could have dangerous side effects, as a recent trend demonstrates.

A journal entry from: Sun, Sand and Wind
Ending with a BANG!
After 35 days, 9 flights, 3 different countries/cultures, I'm "back"!
As I write this it is currently 5am, and obviously with some jetlag I am wide awake and ready to go with the day.
It is safe to say that the trip only got better and better as the weeks went on, ending on such a great high! As I had last left you, I was on my way to the Cyprus airport in Larnaka. My flight to Cairo was smooth but with a very bumpy landing, I then had the really fun time of killing NINE HOURS at Cairo International before taking my 5am flight to Frankfurt. And so the funny thing about the Cairo airport is that; in order to get to the check in desk and get your ticket, you must first pass a preliminary security desk. Here at this area they ask you for your ticket... which you obviously do not and cannot have until passing them and getting to the service desk. So after some arguing you will be told/gestured that if you pay them they will let you through to get your ticket. *This was not my first time having a hard time here, and as I refused to pay, I had to wait 5h before going back and arguing again and finally being let by.
My flight arrived in Frankfurt around 8:30am, and I'm not going to lie I was pretty excited to see Tobias and the others (I think the most excited I had been for the whole trip). *The main reason for the stop in Germany was that for a small price I could have a longer layover and would thus have the opportunity to see some old friends who I lived with in Australia and to go see some family as well. I had organized sometime before to meet my friend Tobias, who was there to pick me up. We then proceeded to downtown Frankfurt where we spent 5h or so, walking around and having a couple coffees and "pretzels" *I must have eaten a dozen pretzels or more in my few days in Germany!! The city of Frankfurt is the only one in Germany with a true skyline and was rebuilt after WWII. The weather wasn't very nice, but I still found it to be a nice little city, and it runs along the river Main. We then continued on S/E towards his parent's home in Rieuneck. This was my first autobahn experience and it was something else. It was raining/snowing outside, and therefore Tobias decided we should take it easy, and "only" drive 140km, lol. This made me laugh quite a bit, but it was fine, he's a good German driver.We had a really nice time at his parents and had a real Bavarian meal that night for dinner!
The next morning we headed on our way to Heidelberg 1.5h SW where we would meet the others for the weekend. It was a snowy drive, but we made our way to Susn's flat. *Susn was one of my flat mates in the Convent back in Melbourne, and she has a smile unlike anybody else that can make anyone happy. Toby and I were both excited to see that smile again, and of course her! From there we only had a few minutes to walk to the train station to meet Wanja who was arriving from Berlin *Wanja also lived in the convent for a short while back in Oz, and we hungout a faire bit and like the others became good friends, him and Toby are some of the most easy going guys you will ever meet. On our way back to Susn's we met Hanna! *I lived with Hanna for almost 1 year in Oz, and had seen her once again in NYC back in 2008, she is in a sense like a sister and we always looked out for each other, seeing her was probably the best, but also saying goodbye was the hardest! Sven, who was one of my best mates down under then met us that night. So one by one we were regrouping, and it was great to all be together like we had once been before. Some of the Germans hadn't see each other since Oz as well, so it was great to get everyone together, and it was as if we had just last seen each other a few days before.
We went out that night, and the next day checked out the town and the castle looking over the river Neckar. The town is a big uni town, so there are many students and a real good vibe. It wasn't destroyed in the war, so therefore still has lots of old buildings and a lot of character. That night we made a meal and just had a real relaxed night together. The next day, I had to take the train North of Frankfurt to meet some family. Tobias and Sven had already left and Wanja, Susn and Hanna walked me to the train station, it's funny because I don't consider myself to be an overly emotional guy, but it was quite sad saying goodbye to everyone and especially getting onto the train. You know inside that you will see these people again someday, but who knows when. The time spent together was by far the best part of the trip, and they are just such a good group of people, that you don't want to leave.
But alas, to the next time!I had a 3h train ride to Waldsolms-Brandoberndorf, where I was greeted by Gabi, Julia & Lukas *Some distant cousins and good family friends. I was really excited to be there because both Emily & Natalie have both stayed there and visited a few times, along with some other family members. So I was excited to see where everyone had been and to see the 3 of them. We had a nice walk around the village that day and checked out the farm, followed by a relaxed evening *Even did some sliding in the fields. The next day when the kids went to school, Gabi took me to see a really cool castle in Braunfels. The castle was amazing and really appealed to the child in me, its 750 years old and still has some of the original family living there. There was an amazing collection of art inside and pieces from all over the world. After meeting up with Julia & Lukas we had a nice lunch and then went to Gessen to a mathematics museum, which was unlike anything I had ever seen. All sorts of experiments which you could try and problems you must try to solve. Surely I left smarter then when I arrived! The next morning Gabi and I left Kröffelbach around 5:30am to get me to the airport to catch my flight. The time with them was a lot of fun and it is just a really nice area with smooth rolling farmland and small towns packed to the max with character.
My flight back to Toronto went well, with a short period of heavy turbulence... but not a big deal. After making it through customs Dad was there to meet me, and it was real nice to have him pick me up and to finally after 5 weeks, understand what people were saying around me!!! I think the funniest thing about the whole trip, is that nothing seemed to ever really phase me. I luckily was never sick or home sick, and never found myself in any dangerous situations. I enjoyed the whole time, some more then others, but looking back it was a great experience and I think I will walk away having learnt a lot. Not only about other parts of the world and how other people live, but also about myself. The whole trip was great and only got better and better as it went on. The biggest thing I really realized on the trip, was when traveling through Egypt, and realizing just how lucky we all are to have what we have and to live where we live, whether it be here in Canada, Oz or Europe.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it, and I look forward to the next blog worthy trip!
Until the next time, Take Care!
David W.
From s#2 on Feb 4th, 2010
Excellent conclusion to your trip!

Giant London glasshouse with world´s rarest plants reopens: Hi, Everyone Today I am going to share some Amazing Realities on the Giant London glasshouse with world´s rarest plants reopens.
Giant London glasshouse with world´s rarest plants reopens
LONDON: A gleaming monument to the ambition and creativity of its age, the world´s largest Victorian glasshouse reopens to the public on Saturday after a lengthy facelift to show off some of the world´s rarest plants.
"Temperate House" in Kew Gardens in west London is large enough to house three jumbo jets and has been shut for the past five years for a £41 million ($57 million, 46 million euros) renovation project.
The botanical gardens glasshouse will house around 1,500 species split into geographical areas: Africa, the Americas, Australia, the Himalayas and Asia.
"It´s been amazing watching this project unfold, the building emerge gloriously and some of the world´s rarest plants safely reach their home," said Richard Barley, director of horticulture at Kew Gardens.
One of the rarest plants on display is the South African Encephalartos woodii, a palm-like cycad with leathery, green leaves.
Only one such specimen was ever found growing in the wild, and it has long-since disappeared from the natural world.
The wrought iron and glass structure was designed by esteemed Victorian architect Decimus Burton in 1860 and opened in 1863.

There is a Stenden App for that!
vr 17 september 2010 - Klaas-Wybo van der Hoek
There is a Stenden App for that!
There is a Stenden App for that!
Our Stenden ICT Manager, Edgar van Gorkum, reports:
'As we speak Stenden is working together with HT Applications creating the first Stenden iPhone App. As a little experiment we would like to learn what information people like to have with them on there mobile device and we are aware of the fact that more and more information is "broadcasted" via smartphone/tablet applications.
As we used to start up the browser first thing we got on the internet, we now see that this is not the case any more. You check your weather app on your mobile device, the train app, the news app , your social media app , mail app etc etc, one thing is for sure, the browser isn't the primary internet information source anymore.
Education is starting a new era of sharing information and connecting students. Distance learning and the second generations of the electronic learning environments are also evolving to new device's like nPad, iPad and e-books.
Apple has a hobby with the Apple TV, i guess Stenden has a new hobby to , and that are apps! Is the new Intranet/Internet an app and not a webpage? Is the iPad the new intranet? Always with you and always online! Is intranet changing into IntraPAD?
We will see, for now a little preview of the Stenden App, we hope that it will be available for your in the App store at the end of September.'

Over 118,000 New York City young adults are out of school, out of work, and out of options.
Community-based organizations are stretched beyond capacity to meet their needs.
Employers seek a well-trained and motivated workforce to replace retiring baby boomers.
Funders demand measurable returns on their investment.
Only a coordinated effort can answer these challenges . . .
To leverage all available community, corporate, human, organization, private and public resources to bring out-of-school and out-of-work young adults into the economic life of New York City.
OUR HISTORYIn early 2006, the New York City Workforce Funders Group and the Tiger Foundation, with assistance from Public/Private Ventures, laid the groundwork for an organization designed to focus attention and resources on the seemingly intractable crisis of disengaged young adults (18-24 years old). Citing the success of intermediaries in fields such as community development and public education, the business plan prepared by David La Greca found that New York City contained no neutral, independent, organizing mechanism to bridge the public/private divide, promote more effective investment, encourage employer involvement, improve provider quality, identify and spread best practices, or drive out underperforming programs. No "market maker" existed to rationalize what is an irrational, disjointed, and too often mediocre system. JobsFirstNYC emerged to play this role.
JobsFirstNYC has adopted four fundamental and interconnected approaches to achieve our goals:
Our strategic plan and logic model provide a full description of each strategy area.

Merging customer lists
I am currently developing a customer-centric data warehouse for a pharmaceutical company. The company recently merged with another company, and now I have two lists of customer attributes with some customers common between the two companies. How do I go about merging the two lists to create a single dimension?
Of course the answer is "it depends".
If you will continue to receive customer data from these two systems, thus you have two systems of record for customer data, you need to develop a scheme for matching/merging customer that are common across the two sources. This could be done on a set of "fuzzy" logic that does a "like match" on attributes such as name and address. Exact matches can be associated to each other systematically. Close matches may need to be queued up for final determination by the Customer Data Steward.
Set up your target customer table on the data warehouse such that the data warehouse manages the unique keys, using a surrogate key. Maintain the source system unique id/data warehouse unique cross reference within the data warehouse. The ETL tool can populate and manage this. If you need help from the data steward to explicitly identify matches that could not be systematically matched, you may need to provide an end-user maintenance panel or GUI screen so the data steward can update the source/data warehouse unique id cross reference.
An alternative to maintaining the cross reference within the data warehouse would be to make some slight modifications to source systems such that the data steward can identify the logical equivalent customer in the other source system. However, this is messy.

At the beginning of civilization, clay is the first known material where an artistic statement was made. Through the centuries clay evolved from the earliest cave wall images to sculpture and advanced forms such as vases, cups bowls, mosaic art and more. All clay objects made from a simple coil or pinch pot share a message or function from the maker to the user and rituals become an important part of the process too.
Minerals combined with clay and water are in a very fragile state thus the firing process becomes necessary in order for clay to become useable, durable and valuable.
As time goes on clay becomes one of the most important materials known to human kind from the space shuttle to a mere tea cup.
Potters Addict Ceramic Art Centre was created because of the need and passion to educate others on the therapeutic and creative value of clay. Transforming a lump of mud into an object which can be delicate, or strong, decorative or rustic, monumental or miniature, all of which have a unique personal character and role.
Earth, Fire, and Water is on display at the Alternator from March 15 to April 9, 2019.
Join us on March 15 for an opening celebrating two exhibitions: Ian Johnston's Fine Line: Check Check & Earth, Fire and Water from the Potters Addict Ceramic Arts Studio. The event runs from 6-8pm and snacks are available.

Wrong. He's about to arrive by limo through the statuesque gates of the Chateau Frontenac: the landmark Fairmont hotel where he's about to stay and where hordes of fans and paparazzi have gathered this sunny afternoon to catch a glimpse of the man who is arguably the world's most famous musician.
SOUTH BEACH, Fla. – Lee Schrager, the energetic fellow who founded the annual South Beach Wine and Food festival seven years ago, is one smart cookie.
In case you didn't catch my chat with host Jeff Goodes on Fresh Air on CBC Radio on Saturday morning, January 27, here's a list of places I mentioned during our discussion about eating out in winter:
Down the Street, Stratford, Ontario, especially for its warm welcome but also for the cozy decor and excellent food.

Tammi's Garden Walk-About
The photos below are from her garden walk-about that ended our time at her beautiful home.
We often don't make room for the whimsical aspect of growing plants, but Tammi's garden has so many enchanting focal points that enhance the atmosphere in her garden.
This cozy spot surrounded us where we gathered for the workshops. Nasturtiums, violets, gray santolina, and catmint combine to make a stunning walkway, don't you think?
Herbs are not the only plants to take up residence in Tammi's garden, she also had stunning concrete planters with heat loving plants.
Several times she mentioned ways she tries to draw her eye up when her garden is mostly flat. One technique that caught my eye was this stunning, yet simple trellis with a dried wreath hanging on it. The space created a little window into her white rabbit garden.
Here is another view of one of her catmints that the bees loved very much. One hint she said about catmint is that you can trim it after it blooms and it will come back with more blooms!
This garden gnome is an example of the farm's loving nature toward the wildlife that visit the farm. In her new book, Homegrown Herbs : a complete guide to growing, using and enjoying more than 100 herbs, Tammi shares ways to welcome birds and share your garden with wildlife. You can purchase the book directly from Tammi and the instructions are at the bottom of their "about us" page. I highly recommend it if you are new to herbs or want to know how to use them.
I may not have found berry-picking farms to stock my freezer or my pantry with fresh fruit but I have found a teacher who guided me this past month as I start on the journey of being an herb gardener and hopefully using those herbs to take care of myself and my family. Thank you Tammi for sharing your wisdom.
Please take the time to visit Tammi's blog: Desert Canyon Farm Green Thoughts and take a look at both of her resourceful books.

Okay, so Friday will happen. Laura will go. Jason McGuire and the Proto-Loomis will arrive. Fun shall be had.
But… Sunday. Sunday is one of the days. And I've broken it down to a science. According to my scans, we shall encounter The Barnabas Collins at around 10:40am on Sunday. Then he comes and goes for a number of episodes. If you want to watch at home, tweet back at that time!
See, this is the thing. Between DVD and Netflix, the instant availability of a lot of this stuff removes the "event" status that certain TV broadcasts used to have. It just dawned on me that this restores a bit of that, if only for a half-hour here and there.

Both teams are looking to bounce back from tough losses after the Chiefs lost their third game of the year to the Los Angeles Charges by a mere point while the Seahawks got edged out by a Nick Mullens-led 49ers team that they had just crushed two weeks prior. Despite their losses, the Chiefs have won 6 of their last 8 games while the Seahawks have won 4 of their last 5.
Kansas City has the best offense in the league, scoring 35.6 points per game, while their defense ranks 5th-worst in the NFL, giving up 27.1 points. The Seahawks also have a top-10 offense, scoring 25.9 points per game, but their defense is just as good, giving up 20.9 points.
This one will undoubtedly come down to quarterback play as the game features two of the game's best. First year starter Patrick Mahomes leads the league with 4,543 passing yards and 45 touchdowns while throwing 11 picks. Russell Wilson, who has started every game since 2012, has 3,025 passing yards for 31 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.
Chiefs -135
Seahawks +120
Chiefs -2.5 (-110)
Seahawks +2.5 (-110)
Over: -110
Under: -110
Kansas City has had little trouble hitting the over in their games, particularly on the road where the over has hit in 6 of 7 games. They are scoring 37 points per game over the last two months so they would need Seattle to score just 17 points for the over to hit.
Despite some offensive issues in their last two games, the Seahawks are averaging nearly 26 points per game on the year and the Chiefs' defense is giving up the fifth-most points in the league. 65% of public bets on OddsShark are taking the over.
There's no shame in losing to the Chargers, who may just be the best team in the NFL. The game opened at even odds before the Chiefs grew to a -2.5 favorite and 58 percent of public bets are backing the Chiefs to cover the small spread. The Chiefs have covered the spread in five of their seven road games this year.

YourDuinoStarter AnalogValue
YourDuinoStarter - AnalogValue
This Software Sketch shows how Arduino can read Analog Voltages that result in a range of values from 0 to 1023 as compared to Digital values that are only 0 or 1. Why 1024 values? This is a choice by the ATMEL Engineers who designed the MicroController chip. They decided to create a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter.
"Pin" can be (0 to 5 on Arduino, 0 to 15 on Mega)
Reads the voltage value from the specified analog pin. The Arduino board contains a 10-bit analog to digital converter with 6 channels (8 channels on the Mini and Nano, 16 on the Mega). This means that it will map input voltages between 0 and 5 volts into integer values between 0 and 1023. This yields a resolution between readings of: 5 volts / 1024 units or, .0049 volts (4.9 mV) per bit.
This example uses a Potentiometer connected as a "Voltage Divider" from +5V to Ground. The "wiper" connection that is changed as the user rotates the pot can go from 0.0V (Ground) to 5.0V
The "wiper" is connected to Analog Pin 0. As the user rotates the pot, the value can go from 0 to 1023. The sketch also converts that value into the 0.0 to 5.0V values it represents.
Also, the Sketch compares the voltage from the Potentiometer to 3.0 and Turns the LED ON if the voltage is > 3.0. This is an example of comparing sensor values and taking actions. Here's what the Serial Monitor Output may look like:

The resolution is higher than drum scans, there are no "dots." Each are printed on archival paper.Each print measures 16×20 in small size and 32×40 in large size. Squares are 16×16 and 32×32. Larger prints up to 42×54 are available on request.
The Story
My first monotype was made on a piece of glass with acrylic paint. The texture and off-set alignment of shapes that resulted kept me busy for hours at a time. The monotypes that I now create involve a heated plate beeswax and pigment. I paint on the plate and use a variety of subtractive and additive techniques with encaustic to create images that I fancy as "Color Landscapes". I experiment with temperature, tools, pigment and more to create one-of-a-kind works on paper. For Waxing Kara®, we are reproducing these original encaustic monotypes as acid free, archival, Giclee (laser) prints in editions of 20 per piece available in a range of sizes. Custom sizing is available.

On the afternoon of May 3, about 25 local Girl Scouts and some of their siblings visited the Department of Physics and Astronomy to attend presentations by faculty members Gabriela Canalizo, Laura Sales, and Nathaniel Gabor. Associate Professor Vivek Aji, whose daughter is a Girl Scout, arranged the visit. Professor Canalizo and Assistant Professor Sales began their presentation by screening a video called "The Violent Universe" that showed a number of real and simulated celestial phenomena, including merging galaxies, nebulae, exoplanets, moons, solar filaments, quasars, black holes, and galactic and planetary collisions.
All hands shot up during the Q&A that followed, with the invited K-6 guests bombarding Canalizo and Sales with questions such as: Has a supernova been seen? How many stars populate our galaxy? What colors are exoplanets? Did anyone go near a black hole? Why are planetary objects mainly spherical? Are there aliens out there? When is the sun going to blow up and kill everyone? Is Pluto still a planet? And how did our moon get here? Canalizo and Sales patiently answered all the questions and closed their presentation with a video, produced by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, illustrating how galaxies arrange themselves in the vast expanse of the universe.
Associate Professor Gabor then addressed the visitors and used hands-on exercises to explain a number of physics-related notions such as what a centripetal force is, why the centrifugal force ought to be forgotten, and how angular momentum is conserved. He also explained electricity to the young visitors and introduced them to concepts such as voltage and current. He ended his presentation with several demonstrations of toroidal vortices that he made with various vortex cannons.
"From demos on physical concepts to a glimpse at what is at the frontier of cutting-edge research, we sought to provide a window into both the wonderful world of science and the people who make it happen," Aji said. "My hope is that we left a lasting impression about the excitement of discovery that it will inform their decisions about their own future."

I thought I had posted some where on this forum that I had a Tiny Tim engine. Trouble is it runs on HOn3 track (three foot gauge track). Now that I see Ian's posting of a Tiny Tim is that I have one. Somebody re-gauged it to HOn3 an modified the rear end. I took one of Ian's picture and added one from the engine I have and compared them. You can see somebody milled out some material to narrow the gauge. The red rectangles show the frame narrowed for the wheels. I also noticed the wheel width is different. Just saw this now as I posted. I now understand how this worked without doing anything to the valve gear.
Someday I'm going to restore it to proper gauge.

- an annual revenue of less than $25 million
- less than 50 employees at the end of the financial year, and/or
- consolidated gross assets of less than $12.5 million at the end of the financial year.
