|Sunset at Home Depot
- I am thankful for Monesha, who was my daughter's personal fashion consultant today. Mo helped Liz pick out some nice outfits for her acting competition! Mo has so much style!
- I was thankful for having lunch with my friend Sejal to celebrate her birthday. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and had the awesome Chicken Chipotle Pasta. It was delicious and I decided to not look at the calorie count, and just enjoy the wonderful flavors and conversation.
- I am thankful for the beautiful day and pretty sunset I saw from the Home Depot parking lot. I enjoy cloud and sky watching. I love finding some beauty even if its in a parking lot.
- I was thankful for having a nice conversation with my older daughter Becky while I was taking her to work. It is nice to be able to spend some quality alone time with her. Sometimes errands can pay dividends.

Return Of The Nomads
In a two-week student class at KazGAZA (Kazakh Leading Academy of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Faculty of Design) we asked, how traditional nomads survival and place-making practices can be set in relation to the needs of Kazakhstans contemporary society. In five groups students selected and analyzed relevant problem areas and created, guided by a methodological framework, new intepretations of important nomadic strategies which were represented in individual Design projects. The long-term historic continuity of nomadic life in Kazakhstan served as the rich background for this approach. It allowed us to confront western, rather metaphoric approaches to nomadism with a cultural awareness that is often based on biographic references.
The exchange program was enabled by German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Instructors: Stefan Göllner and Natalia Göllner

part. It is easier for the tree to make new roots than to heal up old ones.
Depth-.—The tree should be planted the same depth that it was in nursery.
Filling.—I have found it best to fill the hole only about half full, leaving a basin to receive water and then complete the filling after irrigation.
Settling The Earth.—It is not necessary to spend time tramping the earth down upon the roots, as the water to be applied will settle it more effectually than it is possible to do with the foot.
Irrigating.—Citrus trees should always be irrigated as soon as planted. Kun the basin at each tree full, and after the water has soaked away, fill in with dry earth, which prevents evaporation.
Straightening Up.—When all are planted go through the orchard and right up such trees as may be found leaning.
Additional Pruning.—If the tree shows a tendency to wilt, it is a good plan to prune it still further, even cutting away to a few leaves or none at all.
Indications.—If a tree wilts and the leaves cling to their stems, becoming dry and dead, the chances are that the tree is lost. If the leaves drop off, the tree will almost surely put forth new ones.
Washing The Trees.—If the trees are infested with any sort of scale or smut, wash them thoroughly with soap suds, scrubbing the stocks and spraying the tops. It is but fair to give them a clean start.
Wrapping The Stocks.—If rabbits or rodents are apt to prove troublesome, it is a good plan to wrap the stocks with paper and tie lightly with twine. This keeps the animals from gnawing the bark. The wrapping is also a good protection to the young and tender stocks against the hot sun. Some people whitewash their trees instead of wrapping them and are well pleased with the result.
Designating Varieties.—If you plant several varieties of trees, the best way to keep track of them is to make a diagram of the orchard in some convenient book of record, designating varieties by numbered rows. Tags on trees are a nuisance, and besides, soon become weather-worn and obliterated. The same is true of letered stakes in the orchard ground.
Lost Time.—The orange tree in transplanting loses a year's growth; this under the most favorable circumstances. I do not mean to say that it utterly fails to grow the first year after removal, but that the check which it sustains reduces its average size to that of trees a year younger, not transplanted.
New Growth.—At the next succeeding season of growth, if the conditions are all favorable, the tree puts forth new shoots from the stock and branches. Often these shoots make their first appearance upon the stock, and cover it with a thick growth down to the very ground.
Water Sprouts.—These shoots, below the point where they are serviceable as branches, are called water-sprouts, and they must be trimmed off at the earliest practicable opportunity. However it is not always advisable to break off these sprouts as soon as they appear. If the upper part of the tree has started new growth simultaneously with the stock, then the stock should be cleared, and the earlier the better. Rub off the incipient shoots when no bigger than the point of a pin and the vitality of the tree will go into the top, provided the top is ready to receive it. But when the water-sprouts are the only growth the tree attempts to make, it is advisable to let them remain for the good they may do. The leaves thus put forth will elaborate the sap and start the vital forces of the tree throughout. With the additional strength thus gained the top buds, in turn will be pushed forth, and when these shall have formed branches and leaves the watersprouts may be safely dispensed with. Should the top utterly fail to grow, and become dead, th6 topmost or most vigorous of the water-sprouts may be preserved to form a new stock and top.
Suckers.—This growth which starts from the crown of the roots just below the surface of the ground should be cut off as soon as discovered, as it will sap the life of the tree if allowed to grow. Only in one instance is there an exception to the rule of destruction of suckers. If you are satisfied the main stock is dead or likely to die, the sucker may be left to form a new tree. But bear in mind, the sucker tree will be a seedling.
ing one year with another and averaging the longer with the shorter seasons, the seven-months rule will hold good. It is during this rainless period that irrigation becomes necessary to sustain vegetable life. Formerly irrigation was much more general and frequent than in latter years. Within a comparatively recent period it has been determined that thorough cultivation will, in a great measure, reduce the necessity of applying water artificially, and, in the case of many varieties of grapes and deciduous trees, irrigation may be dispensed with entirely. Orange trees to thrive well and bring forth profitable crops, must be irrigated.
Over-irrigation To Re Avoided—It is a mistake, however, to suppose that because some water is good, a great deal more water is better. No error is more pernicious or, in the end, more certainly ruinous to trees than excessive irrigation.
In 1877 a committee of the Sonthern California Horticultural Society, appointed to investigate the matter of irrigation, made a valuable report, which was summarized in the following paragraph:
"The systems of irrigation in use throughout the district are varied. Many use the old system of flooding the entire ground every three or four weeks, using water to the exclusion of cultivation. Others irrigate less and cultivate more. We find, in fact, all phases of irrigation and cultivation, from all water and no work to all work and no water. Neither extreme is profitable, but a golden mean of two or three thorough irrigations, with thoroguh cultivation, your committee believe the orcbardist will find the most successful. On heavy soils the water should not touch the tree and great care should be exercised after each irrigation that the ground may not bake."
A Matter Of Education.—When the ground about the tree is frequently flooded, the roots are drawn to the surface. The tree then becomes more sensitive to every change of moisture, and if water is not applied at the regular and frequent intervals to which the tree has been accustomed, it wilts and droops. It is not to be supposed that the best of human care can furnish a supply equal to the storage reservoirs of nature which lie deeper in the
earth, and to which the roots ought to be encouraged to go for their supplies. Trees are creatures of habit no less than men, and, "as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined." It is best to commence this education early; if you postpone it too long your orchard is likely to prove a lot of spoiled children on your hands.
How Much To Ibrigate.—During the first summer after planting young orange trees, it may be necessary to water them every month or six weeks. Make it a point to be thorough with your work when you do irrigate. Let the water penetrate deep, and assist the young roots in working down. Do not under any circumstances, allow the ground to remain after irrigating in a sodden condition, to bake hard and evaporate the moisture almost as rapidly as it was applied. A tree thus neglected is soon in a worse condition than it would have been if it had received no irrigation at all. I have found it the best plan in treating young trees to excavate a considerable basin about each tree and fill this basin with water once or even twice if deemed necessary. Then, after the water has entirely soaked away, fill the basin with dry earth. This covering acts as a mulch, preventing the evaporation of the water applied, and the tree is prepared to wait a long time for another drink. The second summer, trees will flourish with three or four irrigations, and the third summer they will thrive with two or three.
Want Of Irrigation—How ManifestEd.—Be governed by circumstances. If you see that a tree is suffering, as indicated by curled or wilted and leathery leaves and drooping stems, do not delay the application of water. It needs help at once. If you follow the plan here indicated and do your work thoroughly, you will find these calls less and less frequent as the tree obtains its foothold on terra firma. You will then have brought it up in the way it should go, and it will reward you in future by a healthy and profitable life and a minimum of labor exacted for its sustenance. It is not advisable to leave the tree until it hangs out its signals of distress before applying water. Keep a sharp watch over your orchard and you may detect the premonitory symptoms in one or

Watchdog finds evidence of chemicals in Syria gas attack
The OPCW is investigating the suspected April 7 chemical attack on the town of Douma, near the capital, Damascus.
The global chemical weapons watchdog says "various chlorinated organic chemicals" were found at the site of a suspected attack in Syria last April.
But the interim report from the Fact-Finding Mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons warned it was too early to come to full conclusions, saying that "work by the team to establish the significance of these results is on-going".
At the same time, the investigators reported based on initial results that "no organophosphorous nerve agents or their degradation products" were detected in samples taken from people allegedly exposed or in the environment.
— OPCW (@OPCW) July 6, 2018
OPCW issues fact-finding mission reports on chemical weapons use allegations in Douma, Syria in 2018 and in Al-Hamadaniya and KarmAl-Tarrab in 2016. Learn more: https://t.co/9VNyby1R9R
The OPCW is investigating the suspected April 7 chemical attack on Douma, a town near the Syrian capital, Damascus.
The United States, Britain and France blamed Syrian government forces and launched airstrikes in response. Syria denied responsibility.
The chemical weapons organisation, based in the Netherlands, does not designate blame for chemical attacks.
The team said in its report that it found two industrial gas cylinders at different locations in Douma – one on a top-floor patio and the other on a bed in a top-floor apartment.
It said it is working to establish how they got there and whether they are linked to the alleged attack.
Russia and Syria sought to disprove that Douma was hit by a poison gas attack, and in April brought a group of Syrians to the global chemical weapons watchdog's headquarters in The Hague to denounce the reports of an illegal attack as fake.
The insistence by Russia and Syria that a chemical weapons attack was staged runs counter to accounts from witnesses and survivors, who described being overwhelmed by a strong smell of chlorine.
The survivors interviewed in Douma after government forces took control of the town blamed rebels from the Army of Islam group of being behind the attack.
Other survivors who left Douma said the chlorine attack occurred amid government airstrikes and blamed the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Toto has just added a 20-date East Coast run to its upcoming 40th anniversary tour. The band, which these days primarily plays on the overseas circuit, is led by classic members Steve Lukather on guitar, and keyboardists David Paich and Steve Porcaro. The band kicks things off North of the border on July 30th in Vancouver at the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts and finishes things off on November 17th at Lynn, Massachusetts at Lynn Veteran's Memorial Auditorium. Newly added dates included stops in Tennessee; Alabama; Florida; South Carolina; North Carolina; Georgia; Virginia; Washington, DC; Connecticut; New Jersey; and New York.
As individuals, the band members of Toto can be heard on an astonishing 5,000 albums that together amass a sales history of a half a billion albums. Prior to the release of the band's 1978 self-titled debut -- which featured the Top Five classic, "Hold The Line" -- most of Toto played a key role in Boz Scaggs' legendary 1976 album, Silk Degrees.
- Keyboardist David Paich told us that unlike some bands on the road, there's little room during a Toto show for just winging it and jamming with his bandmates: "You have to stay focused and there's intricate, complicated arrangements and stuff. I wanna say that the best time is just the musical communion that goes on between the artists and fans. As Sting said one time, that the album was just a blueprint for taking it live in concert, because, you get all the, kinda, the kinks worked out." :

How Shall I Then Pray?
1 Thessalonians 5:16, "Pray without ceasing."
Colossians 4:2, "Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving…"
Ephesians 6:18, "With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for the saints."
Matthew 7:7-11, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!"
Wrestling to Pray
I struggle to pray.
In fact, to discipline myself to pray and pray consistently and sincerely has been one of my greatest wrestles in my current walk with Christ. I am by no means a prayer warrior. And I realize that this is no comforting fact for those to whom I have made promises to pray. The fact is that I have consistently felt the weight of conviction on my heart on every one of those mornings when I have finished reading God's Word, felt the tug of the Spirit working with my conscience to remind me to pray, then simply stood up from my place to go about my day without heeding the prodding of the Spirit within me. I have wrestled in my heart and in my mind, striving to understand why I do not pray. I have questioned myself, asking over and over again, "Why have I failed to pray? I have absolutely no excuse not to pray and every motivation to pray!" In the past, I have even taken several weeks to study prayer itself and what Scripture says about it, and I have come to this knowledge, that believers literally have absolutely no excuse not to pray. Furthermore, we also have every blessed motivation to come before our Heavenly Father with praises and petitions…
Motivated to Pray
Of course, Scripture is clear that prayer is not an option. If nothing else, as a believer, I know that I ought to pray everyday, all the time, without fail, if only because I have been commanded to do so by Jesus Christ my Savior! This command appears frequently throughout God's Word. God always answered the prayers of the righteous men and women of the Old Testament. The Psalmists continually poured out their hearts and cried out to the Lord through prayer. Jesus incarnate set the ultimate example for prayer constantly. He repeatedly told His disciples to ask and instructed them in how to pray. Finally, the apostles then commanded the believers of the early churches to "pray without ceasing", "be devoted to prayer", "pray at all times in the Spirit", etc. Prayer is not an option; it is a command which I have received directly from the Father through His Word, and so I must pray and pray in the manner which He has detailed.
However, although this command was given in all solemnity, to obey it ought to be the farthest thing from a burden to the believer. On the contrary, the pursuit of prayer, when understood in light of Scripture, is rather full of hope and not weariness, eagerness and not discouragement. Although we seek to obey a command, it does not come without its promises!
- My Father promises that He hears every one of my prayers. Psalm 6:9, "The Lord has heard my supplication, the Lord receives my prayer."
- My Father promises that He will answer every one of my prayers. Psalm 20:6, "Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand."
- My Father has declared that He loves to give good gifts to His children. Matthew 7:11, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!"
- My Father has promised that He will give generously. James 1:5, "But if anyone lacks wisdom, let Him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting…".
- My Father has promised that I have only to ask in Jesus' name. John 14:13-14, "Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it."
Of course there are other parameters in Scripture for how one ought to pray, including praying without hypocrisy (Matthew 6:5-13), praying in faith (Mark 11:22-24), praying according to God's will (1 John 4:14-15), praying continually (Colossians 3:2), and praying humbly and reverently (Ecclesiastes 5:1-2). Yet, I ought to find joy in every aspect of prayer as it is commanded, for I know and may be convinced that the Lord, in His abundant grace and mercy towards me, promises to hear me and answer me.
Furthermore, as I ever more increasingly understand that to live for the glory of Christ is to live in an intense spiritual battle, I encounter an even greater motivation to pray. John Piper in his phenomenal book on missions, "Let the Nations Be Glad", states emphatically: "Until you know that life is war, you cannot know what prayer is for." As a follower of Christ, I am also a soldier for Christ, fighting desperately against sin to eradicate its hold over my heart and fighting boldly to win lost souls with the Gospel of Christ. The fact is that a battle can never be won without communicate and LOTS OF IT. How do I ever expect to overcome sinful habits, to resist temptation, to flee from fleshly lusts, to find victory over depravity if I have not entreated the throne of grace for help in my time of need (Hebrews 4:15-16)?? And how can I ever expect to see souls freed from bondage and converted to Christ if I am not pleading with the Lord to open their hearts to a saving understanding of the Gospel once they have heard its truth? Prayer is, in fact, "God's instrument to release the power of the Gospel" (John Piper, "Let the Nations Be Glad").
Reluctant to Pray
SO, with all of this knowledge and understanding of the commands and motivations to pray, of course I would be sure to obey the commands of Scripture, setting aside time in each day to pray, directing my thoughts toward prayer with every opportunity, asking the Lord for strength to glorify Him and for His will to be accomplished in every circumstance, right?
Once again, I have caught a glimpse of my own depravity and my lack of true understanding of the character of God. Even with all of these promises to guide me and practically shove me into the presence of God, I still do not pray as I ought. I still hesitate, I still make excuses. But the Lord is graciously revealing to me that the sin of not praying is actually much deeper rooted than I realized. There are other areas of sin that preventing and deterring me from confidently or even fearfully knocking at the mercy's door…
Laziness prevents me from praying. Like any other spiritual practice, such as reading and studying God's Word, memorizing God's Word, or meditating on God's Word, praying requires discipline and diligence. How long will I allow fleshly desires for petty things like extra sleep and social media, which are fleeting and utterly worthless in comparison with the glories of knowing Christ more, prevent me from communing with the majestic, loving, powerful Savior who died for me?
Pride prevents me from praying. Prayer itself is the manifestation of a heart that depends upon God and admits that I am nothing without Him, that I need Him. But as I poured over the words of that beloved hymn…
I need Thee every hour, Most Gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford
I need Thee, Oh I need Thee, every hour I need Thee
Oh bless me now, My Savior, I come to Thee
… I was convicted in my heart that I had been refusing to admit my dependence on God. I was not praying because, in my sin, I was deceived and did not truly believe that I needed Him and desperately so. In my arrogance, I did not value the great help that the Loving God offers, but every time turned my back from humbly entering the throne room where Jesus stands ready to intercede for me and the Father yearning to forgive me…
Finally, lack of faith prevents me from praying. Truly, the more I see how little my faith is, the more I cry out "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" Truly, if I believed every one of these promises, with complete confidence, having not even a shadow of doubt, I would not even want to rise from falling on my knees before the Father! Yet, the frequency with which I pray is a reflection of how firmly I cling to these promises, whether that reflection is an unseemly or beautiful one.
Resolved to Pray
At the end of all these things, this still remains that I still long to pray in a manner that is pleasing to my Heavenly Father. I hate that I don't pray. I hate that I would take this privilege so lightly. I hate that I forget and neglect the bountiful floods of mercy, grace, love, goodness, faithfulness, and forgiveness that await me if I would but draw near to the Lord. The Lord has broken me and brought me to repentance over this. He has shown me my sin and through His Spirit revived the desire to know Him intimately, to draw near to Him so that He may draw near to me. Consequently, I find hope in a simple principle that Charles Spurgeon once shared with his congregation: "Those who pray little will pray less, yet those who pray much will pray more." On the one hand, I am made fearful to pray little, knowing that prayers lifted with little conviction or frequency will dwindle quickly, as I have personally found to be true. On the other hand, I am made hopeful, knowing that as I press inward and upward through prayer, the Lord will enable me to pray more as it pleases Him!
Let us then keep one another accountable in the pursuit of prayer, taking hold of the promises we are given in Scripture, and seeking to echo the Psalmist in his declaration of hope and devotion…
Psalm 116:1-2, "I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my supplications. Because He inclined His ear to me, I will call upon Him as long as I live."

Decades ago we didn't have man bags. Then I reckon women got together and designed them so that they didn't have to keep carrying around men's' stuff all the time. As there are now so many different types of man bags, we are looking at reporter bags for men. Here's our pick of the bunch:
John Lewis & Partners Keswick Waxed Cotton Reporter Bag, Olive: £49.00
We like this man bag because it will age well the more you use it. Made from waxed cotton with trims of oiled-leather, you get a pocket at the front for easy access and inside there are 3 extra pockets. Features an adjustable shoulder strap. Available in navy and olive (shown).
Red Herring – Grey Cross Body Bag: £22.00
This man bag might be as cheap as chips but it doesn't look like it. We like the contrasting piping on the edges and the faux leather makes it appear more expensive than it really is. Lots of extra pockets inside and features an adjustable shoulder strap.
Tommy Hilfiger Urban Reporter Bag: £55
This is more of a mini man bag but good for clubbing and nights out when you want to carry something but still look stylish at the same time. It's very versatile as you can wear it several ways; either around your neck or as a crossover satchel. Comes in Tommy's red, white and blue colours or available in 3 other colour combos.
M&S Collection Textured Saffiano Cross Body Bag: £39.50

Magnetic effect of current Worksheet-5
(i) pushed into the coil ?
(ii) withdrawn from inside the coil ?
(iii) held stationary inside the coil ?
(ii) Earth wire is used to ensure that any leakage of current to the metallic body of an electric appliance should not give a severe shock to the user.
Since the current rating of the circuit is 5 A and the current flowing through it is more (9 A), the fuse in the circuit melts. Consequently, the circuit is broken and the electric oven is saved from getting damaged.
The solenoid is a long coil containing a large number of close turns of insulated copper wire. The magnetic field produced by a current carrying solenoid is similar to the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet. One end of the current carrying solenoid acts like a north pole and the other end as a south pole. So if a current carrying solenoid is suspended freely, it will come to rest pointing in the north and south directions which is just like a bar magnet. To determine the polarities of its ends, place it in a brass hook and suspend it with a long thread so that it moves freely. Bring north pole of a bar magnet near one of its ends. In case the solenoid moves towards the bar magnet, that end of the solenoid is a south pole and in case the solenoid moves away from the magnet, that end of the solenoid is its north pole. The polarity of the other end of the solenoid can similarly be determined.
(ii) The magnetic flux linked with the coil changes or decreases. As a result of this, an induced current flows in the coil but in a direction opposite to that in case (i) The galvanometer momentarily shows a deflection in the opposite direction, the needle of the galvanometer moves momentarily but in the opposite direction to (i).
(iii) When the magnet is stationary in the coil, there will be a magnetic flux in the coil but it will remain constant. Since the magnetic flux does not change, there is no induced current in the coil and the galvanometer shows no deflection.

Everything is going wireless these days – from headphones to home alarms.
The question is: which type of system is better equipped to protect your home and family – a wired or wireless burglar alarm system?
Tried and true or tech that's new. Who's your money on? Read on for a side by side comparison by a security expert!
Ease of installation
A hard wired system will need cables in the walls or under the floors. This means a longer installation time but once it's in, it's in forever.
A wireless burglar alarm is much quicker to install. There's no digging out walls and burying cables.
Wireless wins!
Running costs
Wired alarms costs pennies in electricity. A small price to pay for protection!
Wireless alarms need regular battery replacement to stay in shape.
Wired wins!
You can add to both systems as needs change. However, a wired alarm has to be carefully considered. It's not always worth installing yards and yards of cable for one sensor. Wired alarm systems are permanent and great for forever homes or commercial premises.
Wireless security systems can have a sensor anywhere as long as the signal gets to the control panel. Built a conservatory or extension? Add as many as you need! You can also take it with you when you move. This makes it a great choice for renters or kids away at uni that you want to protect.
Wireless wins!
- Let the dog roam while you're on the school run
- Protect the front door while you're in the garden with the dog and kids
- Once everyone's home, protect all the external doors
- From your smartphone app, switch downstairs on from your bed before a good night's sleep!
Once upon a time, wired would have won this test. Hacking concerns put people off choosing the wireless option.
The advanced alarm technology on the market now has greatly reduced the threat of someone hacking your wireless alarm! You don't hear your radio buzzing when a mobile call is coming in anymore do you?
The systems MTS use are top notch. You won't suffer interference from baby monitors, power lines, remote controls etc. Both systems need regular maintenance to stay tip-top condition but be certain that anything MTS provide can be relied on.
It's another draw!
So what's the best burglar alarm?
Wireless systems usually win when compared to it's wired counterpart. Technology is advancing – the features you can get from wireless alarms are expanding every year!
Every home is different and only a professional can give you their expert advice. Put it this way – you can Google symptoms and try to self diagnose yourself with an illness… OR you can go straight to the doctor with years of experience and get the right medicine, first time.
The same goes for your home security system.
To cut through the noise and get the best home protection for your family, you need a FREE security survey from MTS.
As part of our SSAIB accreditation we offer free, no obligation home visits to assess your property and design a system that addresses your needs. Whether that's:
- A zonal alarm to protect the nursery upstairs while you catch up on Corrie in the lounge
- A pet friendly alarm that protects your home while allowing Ol Charlie Boy to roam freely
- A smart alarm that can be controlled from your phone, from anywhere in the world!
What next?
What's the best way to find the best burglar alarm for your home and family? Get in touch to arrange your FREE home security survey ASAP!

Image schemas are recognised as a fundamental ingredient in human cognition and creative thought. They have been studied extensively in areas such as cognitive linguistics. With the goal of exploring their potential role in computational creative systems, we here study the viability of the idea to formalise image schemas as a set of interlinked theories. We discuss in particular a selection of image schemas related to the notion of 'path', and show how they can be mapped to a formalised family of microtheories reflecting the different aspects of path following. Finally, we illustrate the potential of this approach in the area of concept invention, namely by providing several examples illustrating in detail in what way formalised image schema families support the computational modelling of conceptual blending.

Offenes Studio – MusikTanzNullDreißig
Manuela Tessi (dance), Friederike Motzkau (flutes)
In this Open Studio, Manuela and Friederike will show their way of working on improvisation as they do in their "MusikTanzNullDreißig- Practice Sessions". The main focus is presence and perception.
Friederike and Manuela practice improvisation for performance. They believe that the common ground for instant composition is a constant listening and openness to the whole space, a clarity of intention, yet the willingness to change one's path in the moment as the performance is in constant evolution.
They consider musicians and dancers as part of the same "band", in which they all "play". All contributions, that are being made into space and time are treated equally and need to be noticed by the other performers. The key in this research is "keeping eyes and ears open".
Friederike and Manuela met in the improvising scene of Amsterdam, working with Katie Duck. They created MusikTanzNullDreißig in October 2014, to provide a dedicated space within the vivid and creative scenes of Berlin, where dance and music can mutually contaminate and inspire each other. This initiative presents a monthly performance and practice sessions, in which they opened the research and the discussion on the relationship music-dance.
Im Offenen Studio stellen Berliner Performer Gruppen ihre kontinuierliche Zusammenarbeit zu Instant composition vor. Methodische Ansätze, spezifischer Fokus, künstlerische Strategien der Beteiligten werden in einer Mischung von Performance und praktischem Lab(or) für die Teilnehmer erfahrbar.
TN- Gebühr: 3 – 12 € sliding scale (du wählst)
Frei für Workshop Teilnehmer des Festivals
Termine: jeweils 18:00 – 19:15 / Eden*****Studio 150.2

To Catch a Pirate by Jade Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Townsend's, Annalisa and her father, are sailing to the governorship of Mourning in the Caribbean. The Phantom Mist intercepts their course and in dashes the unforgettable pirate James Sterling. James and his mentor Crimson steal the king's gold. Mr. Townsend is sent to prison and Annalisa takes up the call to be a privateer and hunt down the man you ruined her world - James Sterling.
If you're in the mood for a summer read, here is a book for you. Parker takes you to a world full of sailing on warm breezes, dangerous swordplay, treasure hunts and revenge. Excellent heroine novel with a touch of romance and sassiness. If Ms. Parker were to write more historical fiction, I would love to read them!
