I see an untapped route to a better world. It involves simply talking, about the nature of people. Not about the nature of people other than ourselves, or people in the sense of "us and them", but about all of us as human beings. In fact, part of what I hope to make the case for here, is that there is no us and them. There's really, only us.

The Unique Luster of Copper Jewelry
Copper jewelry has been worn for more than one hundred years, in part for medical reasons but mainly for aesthetic appeal. It has been known to boost blood circulation and minimize the symptoms of joint disease. Copper jewelry also has a warm reddish-orange hue that pairs well with most wardrobe choices. Over time, copper has become an outstanding choice of jewelry for many men and women. It is also fairly inexpensive and easily available.
The ongoing popularity of copper jewelry has much to do with its unique luster and versatility. Copper jewelry, especially copper bracelets and copper earrings, are well sought after by people who enjoy the ethnic, earthy look that has made its way to many of the top designer's collections. Copper also provides a reasonable alternative to more costly metals, such as silver, gold, and platinum.
Versatile Copper Jewelry
Copper jewelry has made its mark in many collections due to its versatility and resilience. Unlike other types of metals which can become dull as it ages, copper has the opposite effect. Oxidation of unprotected copper can cause it to darken into a brown warm shade that often enhances the look of the jewelry. When exposed to the elements, copper can also form a greenish-blue patina that gives the jewelry a distinctive look. Many accomplished jewelry designers use this advantage to produce organic and modern designs and patterns. Uncoated copper jewelry can become tarnished after extended periods of time, but can easily be renewed to its original brilliant state. Transform copper jewelry with fresh lemon juice, water and salt.
Maintaining Your Copper Jewelry
To maintain your copper jewelry and keep its luster intact and its exterior tarnish-free, keep it in a sealed plastic bag or jewelry case with anti-tarnish paper. Be sure that the copper jewelry is clean, dry, and free of moisture before storing. Since copper is a highly malleable metal, be sure that the jewelry is stored in a safe place. Caring for copper jewelry is much easier than other types of metal jewelry, including gold and silver. Remember that copper is the catalyst that speeds tarnish in precious metals, meaning that only 24K fine silver and gold won't tarnish, because they are not alloyed with copper. Many jewelry designers create a multitude of earrings, bracelets, brooches, and rings in copper metal to fit any fashion preference and style. Copper jewelry is worn by both men and women of all ages. To stay trendy, healthy, and chic – consider adding a copper jewelry to your jewelry collection.

Review of Corrugated Copper Bangle by ILoveCopperJewelry.com
November 5th, 2014
The Ultimate Fashionable Bombshell Bangle The Corrugated Copper Bangle is a magnificent bangle bracelet that works beautifully with the light for a breathtaking effect. The intricate folds on the copper bracelet allow the piece to reflect light brightly in some areas while leaving other areas cast in deep shadows. The effect is heightened by the anticlastic folding that turns the metal away from the wrist on both ends of the cuff. The bracelet is eye-catching enough to be styled on its own as the perfect finishing touch for an outfit, but you can easily layer it with thinner rose gold or copper cuffs and bangles to create many different layered looks. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in width, the Corrugated Copper Bangle is ideally sized to make a bold statement without being overly heavy or bulky. The bracelet measures 8 inches in circumference and will comfortably fit women with medium to large wrists. To protect the color and shine of the piece, a clear coating has been applied to the metal.

The NHL's on an Olympic break, but here's a hockey highlight to tide you over.
Charles Bertrand of the Swedish Hockey League's Färjestad BK scored a gorgeous goal during the AHL All-Star Skills Competition Tuesday night, going between his legs, back through and finishing with a flick. Don't worry about rewinding; two replays let you fully enjoy Bertrand's magic.
The AHL All-Stars somehow came back and won the competition, 18-17, but really, Bertrand's goal should have counted for 10 points.

By Kate Holton
BARCELONA, Feb 25 (Reuters) - British mobile operator Vodafone said it did not need to sell part of its stake in its highly profitable Verizon Wireless joint venture in the United States to bolster its business in Europe.
Chief executive Vittorio Colao told reporters on Monday Vodafone had a healthy balance sheet and could invest when it needed to, adding it could step up its range of services without having to make acquisitions.
"The two things are not totally linked," Colao said, on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress when asked about the need to sell down the Verizon stake which contributed over half Vodafone's adjusted first-half operating profit. "If it is right to make some investments, we will make some investments."
Facing falling revenue in its core European markets from economic pressures and fierce competition, Vodafone has come under pressure to cut its 45 percent stake in Verizon to fund the purchase of fixed-line assets to increase its product range.
Vodafone has hired Goldman Sachs to advise on a possible 10 billion euro ($13 billion) bid for German cable operator Kabel Deutschland, a source with direct knowledge of the matter has told Reuters.
It has been linked with deals in Spain to consolidate a market which has been hit hard by the economic downturn, with consumers cutting back on making calls and sending texts.
Vodafone has also been struggling in Italy where Colao, an Italian, said he had seen consumer confidence fall even further since October because of political uncertainty as it awaits the results of an election.
Sector bankers and analysts said Vodafone needs to acquire fixed assets to fight off challenges from low-cost mobile players and telecoms and cable rivals pushing discounted, all-inclusive mobile and fixed bundles.
Buying its own fixed assets, such as local cable operators or alternative telecoms providers, would help Vodafone keep up with competitors' offers and cut fees paid for fixed access.
It could then also offer so-called quad play services which includes fixed, mobile, broadband and TV services, and which help to increase revenues and customer loyalty.
Colao said he would like to offer an array of services across Europe and he could do this either through acquiring assets or renting fixed lines from incumbent operators.
Europe's largest operators have complained since the financial crisis hit that there were too many players in each national market, resulting in fierce competition and low prices, that hamper their ability to invest in faster networks.
While European regulators recently allowed the cut-throat Austrian market to move to three players from four, Colao said he was unsure whether this indicated a change of strategy.
"It is good that it was approved but the undertakings that were forced upon them, again indicates a bipolar mentality," he said, adding there was pent-up demand across the region for consolidation.

Max 5 API Reference
When developing for Jitter in C, the functionality of pre-existing Jitter objects can be used.
In this chapter, we'll briefly examine instantation and incorporation of the features of the jit.qt.movie and jit.qt.record objects from your C code.
Using an object like t_jit_qt_movie from your own code is fairly straightforward. Since it's a standard Jitter object, we can use jit_object_new() and jit_object_free() for instantiation and freeing, jit_object_method() for sending messages, and jit_attr_get... and jit_attr_set... for getting and setting attributes.
For instance, in the following code snippet, we'll create a t_jit_qt_movie object, read a pre-specified movie from disk, and decompress its first frame into a matrix, set to the native size of the movie.
void jit_foo_read_first_movie_frame( t_jit_foo *x, t_symbol *s, long ac, t_atom *av) { void *qtmovie; // create the t_jit_qt_movie object, sized to 1x1 qtmovie = jit_object_new(gensym("jit_qt_movie"), 1, 1); if (qtmovie) { t_atom rv; // will contain rvarr, with any return values // from our "read" call t_object *rvarr; // the t_atomarray with the actual // return values // turn off autostart jit_attr_setlong(qtmovie, gensym("autostart"), 0); // read the movie, just pass in the args to our function object_method_typed(qtmovie, gensym("read"), ac, av, &rv); // check the return value & verify that the movie loaded if (rvarr = jit_atom_getobj(&rv)) { long rvac = 0; t_atom *rvav = NULL; object_getvalueof(rvarr, &rvac, &rvav); if (rvac && rvav) { // just as in Max, we get a list: "filename success"; // success of 1 means the read was successful if (rvac > 1 && jit_atom_getlong(rvav + 1)) { long dim[2]; void *matrix; t_jit_matrix_info info; // get our movie's native dims jit_attr_getlong_array(qtmovie, gensym("movie_dim"), 2, dim); // set the t_jit_qt_movie's dim to match jit_object_method(qtmovie,_jit_sym_dim,dim[0],dim[1]); // set our matrix up to match jit_matrix_info_default(&info); info.type = _jit_sym_char; info.planecount = 4; info.dimcount = 2; info.dim[0] = dim[0]; info.dim[1] = dim[1]; matrix = jit_object_new(_jit_sym_jit_matrix, &info); if (matrix) { // call the t_jit_qt_movie's matrix_calc method // with our matrix as an argument err = (t_jit_err)jit_object_method(qtmovie, _jit_sym_matrix_calc, NULL, matrix); if (err != JIT_ERR_NONE) { error("something went wrong"); } // do something with the matrix // free the matrix jit_object_free(matrix); } } freebytes(rvav, sizeof(t_atom) * rvac); } freeobject(rvarr); } jit_object_free(qtmovie); } }
Naturally, we could also set the t_jit_qt_movie object's time attribute, or call its or frame method, to recall an arbitrary point in time. In fact, nearly every documented method and attribute of the jit.qt.movie object, as it functions in the Max interface, is available from C. The exceptions are those functions implemented in the Max wrapper object, such as framedump.

Last night the kids, Jody and I enjoyed a show put on by Mother Nature. A rain storm complete with lightning streaking across the sky and rattling thunder was our pre-bedtime entertainment. Thunderstorms are somewhat of a rarity here (or at least it feels like it lately), and I love sitting in the upstairs window seats watching them with the kids. Lightning is nature's perfect fireworks.
Image credit: Flickr – PeWu
Seeing my kids get excited about the storm – "Oooh, that was a big one!" – made me enjoy the experience all the more. I love it when they appreciate nature, and after being cooped up inside all winter, I'm so glad that spring is here and more nature discovery is on its way.
Earlier this week I read on Mama Milkers Facebook page that her daughter's class took an impromptu field trip to see the dead gray whale on a beach in West Seattle. What a great opportunity for those children to see a whale up close like that, but also so sad that it died.
Image credit: West Seattle Blog
While the cause of death of the 37-foot near-adult male whale is still unknown, it turns out that he had quite a bit of trash in his stomach, including a pair of sweat pants, a golf ball, 20 plastic bags, small towels, plastic pieces, surgical gloves and duct tape.
How are these two things – the storm and the whale – related? Well, they aren't directly, but they are both part of nature, part of this planet Earth that we are celebrating today with Earth Day. There's so much beauty in nature, but there is also so much pollution that is, literally, trashing and killing it. The whale's death may have had nothing to do with the garbage in his stomach, but many animals' deaths *are* a direct result of the trash they ingest.
Today on Earth Day, let's set our differences aside. Regardless of how you feel about climate change, politics or President Obama, perhaps we can all come together to do something positive that makes us feel good about ourselves. We humans have a lot of power. Let's use it for good.
"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." – Native American Proverb
I challenge you to give some thought to your daily habits and routines and find one positive change you will make (no matter how small). Do it not to save the Earth – because the Earth is going to be just fine regardless of what we do – but to save ourselves, our children, our grandchildren and all of the animals that have no control over the way humans treat their environment.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated… I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of human kind." – Gandhi
Will you accept my challenge? What will *you* do?

Painter Kafeel, 45, is originally from Azamgarh, UttarPradesh but has lived in Delhi for almost 20 years. He's been painting for even longer. Having never been to school, he moved to Delhi to become a street painter, establishing himself in labyrinth Old Delhi. Like other painters, he too has abandoned his brush for a computer.
Painter Kafeel comes with 9 layers, which gives it a very unique indian street look. Designed by the Painter Kafeel from Old Delhi, India. He's been painting for even longer. Having never been to school, he moved to Delhi to become a street painter, establishing himself in labyrinth Old Delhi. Like other painters, he too has abandoned his brush for a computer.
Buy this Font Here
Painter Umesh 27, is not a street painter but he used to be one. Umesh earlier ran a painting shop in Dhoraji, Gujarat with his partner Mayank. After having completed his education with a Fine Arts degree from the famed M.S University in Baroda, Gujarat, he joined the advertising industry. Currently he works as an art director in the Gurgaon office of Publicis. His partner Mayank still runs the painting shop.
Because most of the fonts in the Painter series are multi-coloured, they will in effect be digital versions of the once popular Chromatic Type. The style was popular among wood block printers who produced fonts in two components, so each component has its own colour. Instead of different weights, the typefaces will feature versions that include Shadow and Highlights. Here's how it works
How do I Contribute?
Look for hand painted signs in your area. In the right hand bottom corner of any hand painted sign are the signatures of the artists. Street painters consider each work a labour of love and an art in itself. Which is why, they sign each piece they do with their names and their phone numbers. If there are no phone numbers, ask the shopkeeper.
Once you get in touch with the painter, have him draw all the letters from A to Z as well as all the digits from 0 to 9. If possible, also get all the symbols and characters that are used in keyboards. A print of all the characters also helps tremendously.
Always remember to explain the nature and purpose of the project. This will get them more excited. If you feel the painter is not excited and is only doing it for the money, do not hesitate to walk away.
How do I brief Painter?
After explaining the nature of the project and the characters he/she will need to make ask the painter to make a cloth sized 3ft x 8ft. (Usually, the banner cloth comes in 3 ft high roll) Painters may use any colour of choice in his signature style. Also try and ensure that the letter height is the same. The width can vary.
How much money does painter charge for a banner?
Normally they charge around Rs 300 for a banner. But in this case, because of the number of characters, they may charge around Rs 500. Some good painters charge anywhere between Rs 750 and Rs 1000.
What do I do after I get the banner?
Before you courier the banner, please take one straight picture and a few close ups. This will help us retain the work should any damage occur to the banner during transportation.
All couriers can be mailed to:
Hanif Kureshi,
St+art India,
C-12, Qutab Institutional Area,
New Delhi 110016
How do I get money back?
I will pay the money spent for the banner and courier either by Cheque or Bank Transfer within 5 working days of receiving the courier. Trust me!
Can I also contribute to convert one of these to ttf or otf?
Yes, please. In fact, it would be welcome.
When will ttf or otf versions of these fonts will be available?
HPT has joined hands with Sarang Kulkarni from WhiteCrow to convert fonts on digital platform. Sarang Kulkarni specializes in type design, calligraphy and typography. He is a graduate of Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Arts in 2002 and is the proprietor of WhiteCrow Design Management.
WhiteCrow has handled various projects in Indian and Latin scripts, with a vast portfolio of graphic and identity design, as well as calligraphy, commissioned by both Indian and international clients.
Sarang is working on Painter Umesh at the moment. It will be online soon. Please keep checking.
What about the funding? How will painters get benefit from this project?
As of now the project is self funded. A small amount will be charged for a all the Painter's font, except the Painter Umesh which will be free! So when you buy any Painter's font, 50% of the amount will go in painters pocket, while the 50% of the amount will be used for the project. This way the project will become self-sustainable after a while. Hopefully!
Last Question, Who am I and why I am doing this?
My name is Hanif Kureshi and I've always wanted to become a street painter. I used to work with street painters during my vacations in school. My dad asked to me to join the Faculty of Fine Arts, Baroda to become one and later I learned about graphic design and typography. Today I work with Wieden+Kennedy New Delhi which needless to say is a completely different world from that of a street painter. I now know both these worlds intimately and I felt that I should do something to link them before painters disappear from streets. I also thought it important to preserve this art form for future generations to understand and hopefully, appreciate. If you'd like to see more of my work, please visit hanifkureshi.com
You can get in touch with at any stage if you have any questions.
This project would not have been possible without the support of…
Pradeep Singh Gossain
And of course Sarang Kulkarni, who is doing a great job in converting these fonts.
A big thanks to Wieden+Kennedy, Delhi for all the support. Sudhanshu and Chandan Bora for putting up the site.

Go beyond the basics by building knowledge and skills that can make the difference between ordinary and extraordinary performance.
The Challenge Series is a collection of dynamic team exercises that focus on improving knowledge and skills in complex areas such as critical thinking, ethical decision making, and strategic planning. Although the topics addressed by the simulations are appropriate for a wide variety of audiences, they are particularly relevant to those who are in—or who aspire to move into—higher-level positions.
In addition to teaching techniques and processes for dealing with complex situations, the Challenge Series can be used to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to work effectively in teams. And since teams (rather than individuals) handle most of the more demanding and complex problems faced by organizations, the circumstances presented by these simulations are highly relevant and realistic.
The Challenge Series simulations can be used to meet a variety of training objectives in the classroom or at off-site meetings. They are also extremely effective for use right in the work place—to kick off or reinvigorate groups that are tackling the same types of issues addressed by the simulations. In addition, the Facilitator's Manual for each Challenge Series exercise provides suggestions for extending the challenge presented by the simulation and applying it to participants' organizations.
Robert A. Cooke, Ph.D. and Janet L. Szumal, Ph.D., of Human Synergistics developed seven different Challenge exercises for the American Management Association. Each of the exercise booklets includes a set of cards that participants can use to facilitate the development of their solutions.

A horrific murder suicide has left a town in shock after a doctor, 44, shot dead his ex-girlfriend, 22, before turning the gun on himself after she revealed on Facebook she had a new boyfriend.
Dr Timothy Roses, a radiologist from Waterloo, Iowa, fatally shot Lindsay Nichols, of Evansdale, Iowa, in the chest before also shooting himself in the chest around 9pm on Wednesday night.
They were found near an intersection in Jesup, where her new boyfriend lived. Roses was already dead and Lindsay died later in hospital.
The pair were known to be in a relationship but it ended earlier this year.
Friends say Lindsay was concerned about his behaviour since the breakup.
Early on Wednesday, the pretty 22-year-old changed her relationship status to reveal she was in a new relationship with Chase Weber.
Hours later, she was dead. Read More

WILTON, Conn. (Sept. 6, 2012) – On the heels of his three-goal week, ETSU men's soccer junior David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.) made headlines once again as one of 11 members to Soccer America's Men's Team of the Week.
The Dobyns-Bennett High School product had a historic week, beginning last Tuesday when he scored two goals and tallied an assist against UNC Greensboro to break the ETSU record for points in a single game. On Sunday, he capped off ETSU's third consecutive victory with the golden goal in the 108th minute to help the Bucs defeat then-No. 17 UAB, 1-0.
Geno's recognitions began on Tuesday, when he was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week and included as one of 12 members to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week. On Wednesday, the Tennessee Sports Writers Association declared him its Men's Soccer Player of the Week.
ETSU (3-1-0) goes for its fourth consecutive victory on Saturday, as it hosts Radford (2-0-1) inside Summers-Taylor Stadium at 7 p.m.

text: In a muddy coastal marsh off the Atlantic, shoreline grasses wave gently in the warm summer breeze. A small turtle pops its white, distinctly patterned head above the water for a gulp of air before diving swiftly back beneath the surface. Diamondback terrapins live along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, from Cape Cod to Corpus Christi. With seven recognized subspecies, they are largely distinguished by the diamond pattern on their shells. Each varying in color and pattern, no two terrapins look exactly alike. Large, webbed feet make these reptiles adept swimmers, a necessary skill for enduring the strong currents and tidal flows of their habitat. In colder parts of their range, diamondback terrapins burrow in the bottom mud to hibernate through the frigid winter. By dramatically slowing their metabolism and absorbing dissolved oxygen from the water through their mouth linking and tail openings, they can survive completely submerged for months. The terrapins emerge from hibernation in the early spring just in time to mate. Commercial Commodity Demand for terrapin stew in the late 19th and early 20th centuries resulted in dramatic population declines. A major commercial fishery developed in the mid-Atlantic to satisfy the growing market, making terrapins one of the most economically valuable reptile species in the world. Adult terrapins were being removed from the wild faster than they could reproduce, reducing the populations to dangerously low levels. This unsustainable practice made terrapins increasingly rare. Prices skyrocketed to the point that their harvest was no longer profitable. Fun Fact: Some speculate that the removal of sherry, a key ingredient in terrapin stew, from the market during Prohibition also played a part in the popular stew falling out of favor. The decline in demand provided a much needed respite for wild terrapin populations to begin to recover. However, in recent years, Asian buyers connected with U.S. seafood suppliers have fueled another unsustainable terrapin commercial fishery overseas. In response, the National Aquarium and others successfully lobbied for the complete closure of Maryland's terrapin trade in the early 2000s. Thoughtful Fishing Today, terrapins face different challenges. Primarily used by commercial crabbers, crab pots are efficient for catching blue crabs. Soon after the rise of the commercial crab trap, the state passed a law prohibiting their use in the Bay's tributaries, but an exception was later given to waterfront property owners. These recreational crabbers are allowed to cast two pots from their private piers—the very creeks and tidal marshes terrapins inhabit. To prevent the drowning of terrapins and other turtles unintentionally caught in the traps, the state of Maryland now requires crab pot entrances to be outfitted with a by catch reduction ring, also known as a turtle excluder device (TED). This simple device allows crabs to enter the trap while keeping air-breathing terrapins out. Down the Line Reinforcing turtle-safe crabbing practices is just one step toward protecting terrapins. Preserving estuaries and beaches where these turtles live and nest is also critical. Tidal marshes are teeming with life, home to not only the diamondback terrapins, but to countless other species as well, including blue crabs, muskrats, otters, ducks and a variety of fish. They serve as a buffer between Bay waters and lad, dissipating wave energy, slowing total waters and preventing shoreline erosion during high tides and storms. Known colloquially as nature's nurseries, estuaries also provide safe shelter for many animal moms to raise their young. Eggs tuck in tall grasses or nestled in the mud beneath the murky water are less susceptible to predators. Abundant plant life proves a bounty of food and shelter, making tidal marshes ideal spot overs for migrating birds as they travel the Atlantic flyway.

Puzzle of the Day - Happy New Year!
Are you tired of the same Happy New Year wishes over and over again? If you think about changing something this year, you could do the wishing with today's vibrant puzzle of the day. Designed by Jabo for Heye, this 2000 pieces New Year themed jigsaw puzzle will blow you away. The details on it are beautifully crafted, and the image is full of symbols, from the traditional champagne bottle to the New Year's Eve fireworks and the social gatherings. This puzzle itself is a motive for celebration and when the lights go out, you will discover that the image glows in the dark, wishing you a shiny Happy New Year. New Year's Eve is one of the most social celebrations in the world. While Christmas and other religious holidays are usually celebrated with the family, around a traditional dinner, New Year's Eve is mostly known as a party holiday. All over the world, people get together, dance, drink and watch fireworks. And while champagne is probably the alcoholic beverage most people associate with the New Year's Eve, this unusual day has become in certain places a joyful, noisy and bacchic celebration day. A time for gastronomic abuses, New Year's Eve is also a time for drawing a line and making resolutions. It marks the end of a year and the beginning of a new one, the perfect occasion to look back on one's achievements and set new goals for the future. The Happy New Year jigsaw puzzle, with its 26.8" X 37.8" is there to remind you of all that and to contribute to the celebration of that very special moment.

Berkeley capoeira group to bicycle to Brazil
Recommended Video:
The two fighters prowl rhythmically to the sound of a percussive beat. When one strikes, the other anticipates, moving back on his hands and trying to sweep his opponent's legs out with a swivel kick, connecting with air as his target backflips out of reach. A series of fluid, acrobatic moves and countermoves ensues, showcasing skill and athleticism over force.
The match is technically a martial art, but it doesn't look like anything from the "Karate Kid" or moves you see in the Olympics. It's capoeira, one of Brazil's biggest cultural exports, a highly stylized blend of dancing, aerials and fighting that evolved from African slave communities in Brazil, dating to the 16th century.
When Mestre Acordeon, whose Capoeira Arts studio in Berkeley announces itself with a colorful mural, brought the discipline from Brazil to the United States in 1978, there were no capoeira teaching centers in the country, let alone the Bay Area. Now there are too many to keep track of. And with the aid of YouTube, capoeira's popularity keeps snowballing.
Acordeon, 69, a tall, broad-shouldered man with a thick, gray beard, was born in Salvador, then a city of 500,000, in Bahia, a state in eastern Brazil. Portuguese-African culture was highly visible all over Bahia, Acordeon says. Salvador was a Catholic town of churches, saints and street celebrations, where displays of capoeira (believed to have been derived from a Bantu word for the secluded clearings where slaves practiced the art) were as commonplace as the samba.
"It was a happy place to grow up. It was like a vacation all the time," he says, in a clipped accent.
The capoeira bug hit Acordeon when he was a young teenager. He fell under the tutelage of Mestre Bimba, regarded as the father of contemporary capoeira in Brazil. Acordeon opened his first studio in 1962, before he was 20, dedicating much of the first half of his life to teaching in Salvador and traveling to perform capoeira across the country.
For Acordeon, capoeira is more an expression of movement than of contact. He says it is an art of improvisation that can be performed as sport or demonstration, the line between dance and combat moving with the intensity of the participants. "All capoeira is a dialogue between attack and defense," he says.
Acordeon was born Ubirajara Almeida. He adopted Mestre Acordeon in the 1960s, Acordeon being his nickname and Mestre the highest level a capoeirista can reach.
Ascending the levels
Today a system of training has been established in which students ascend the seven levels from novice to mestre, a path that takes more than 20 years. Third-level students can teach others, and fifth-level students can open their own schools.
When Acordeon came to the United States in 1978 with a touring group presenting capoeira, Brazilian music and dance, he planned to end his journey in Austria. "When I came here it was a coincidence. However, you stay one more day, one more day," he says. "I was very adaptable to American life."
The capoeira shows were popular with American audiences. Acordeon toured the country in an RV - from Miami to a small town in Texas and up and down the West Coast. Eventually, he settled in Palo Alto and established capoeira at Stanford University before moving to San Francisco, Oakland and Richmond, where he now lives with his wife. He began teaching privately in Berkeley in the 1980s and opened his first studio there in the mid-1990s. In his 35 years in America he has published books, written music and traveled to all corners of the world promoting capoeira.
Community fixture
Acordeon's studio in Berkeley is a revered community fixture; the Berkeley City Council has declared Oct. 18 as Mestre Acordeon Day. He says his 300 students - youths and adults-aren't just interested in martial arts. Many come because they are interested in the African roots of capoeira - or they just want to dance.
Mariano Wechsler, 27, immigrated to the Bay Area from Santiago, Chile, when he was 10. His step-mother knew Acordeon socially and he started studying with him when he was 13. "Capoeira is a form of personal expression for me. It is art," he says.
Next Monday, Acordeon, Wechsler and seven other capoeiristas will embark on a yearlong bicycle trip from Berkeley to Salvador. They will perform and promote capoeira along the way to raise funds for Projeto Kirimure, a charity Acordeon founded to help underprivileged kids in Brazil.
Planning to stay put
The last time Acordeon set out on a bold new adventure, he ended up staying in the United States. He isn't predicting any new, surprising life turns on this journey. He likes where he lives now and loves his studio. He returns frequently to Salvador to visit his two daughters, his son and his grandchildren, so he knows how much Salvador has changed in his absence: The population of his little town has increased six times over.
"The reality is, I'm very attached to the place where I was born. But this place I was born has been gone. It's not there any more. It's another place."

Classes at Mestre Acordeon's studio, 1901 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley, start at $60 a month for children and $105 for adults. For more information, call (510) 666-1255.

Gun clips vs. magazines: Do you know the difference?
U.S. Rep Diana Degette was mocked Wednesday for her comments about ammunition clips and magazines, and for a statement she issued in an attempt to clarify her comments.
DeGette spokeswoman Juliet Johnson on Wednesday said: "The congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years and has been deeply involved in the issue; she simply misspoke in referring to 'magazines' when she should have referred to 'clips,' which cannot be reused because they don't have a feeding mechanism."
And that, also, is wrong. (And what the heck is an "assault magazine"? Is that something for slaying flies?)

My first experience with Swiss Watch. Very knowledgeable & great customer service. Highly recommend to do business with. I know who I'm calling when adding another watch to my collection.
Great customer service. Awesome to be able to see high resolution pictures of the exact watch you are ordering. Arrived in three days.
Excellent condition truly means excellent condition! I could not find the Daytona that I purchased anywhere new. Although I was a little nervous purchasing sight unseen, the watch arrived and I honestly could not tell that it was a used watch!! 6 Stars and I will be back!!!
Cautious of spending so much on an expensive purchase initially gave me pause, but after doing so much research and reading reviews from SWE, I am extremely happy with my Cartier that I bought. The condition of the watch is significantly better than I expected and as soon as I made the purchase, I immediately received a call from Michael who walked me through the process and ensured that my watch would be delivered quickly. I would definitely recommend purchasing a watch from SWE and I will be doing so in the future.
Great service. I asked for more pictures and they went out the way to send me more pictures of the watch. After the purchase, the watch was in the day they said it would be. The condition of it was excellent and I couldn't be more happy with the purchase. I will definitely shop with them again.
Excellent in-store customer service and purchase experience. I had searched the website for the watches that I was interested in, and used the in-store experience to make the final decision and purchase. SwissWatchExpo is the only choice for my future watch purchases.
I purchased a stainless steel and 18k gold datejust with the slate dial and raised gold Roman numerals. Absolutely beautiful watch that runs precisely and is in mint condition. Ask for Matthew Kramer, he's a real aficionado and listens. Fabulous customer service. I will return as I collect classic watches.
Beyond happy with my recent Rolex purchase from SWE. Just had the watch authenticated and everything checked out perfectly. Pristine condition! Can't wait to purchase another piece. I'll be a lifelong customer.
If you are looking for the perfect watch look no further than the experienced professionals at SWE. Jim, Erik and Victoria and the entire team are outstanding. I am in sales and have led many sales teams in my career. I have to say that the SWE sales team is the epitome of professionalism. They take a consultative approach with the customer and are well informed and provide direction as to what option best suites their customer's needs, budget , etc. Thank you and I will be a returning customer.
Fantastic customer service and great products. I went to their shop to try in several models. I like that they physically own all of the watches they sell. All watches are inspected and serviced on site. I will use them again.
Purchased a gorgeous Omega Speedmaster from SWE in excellent condition. Very friendly, shipped immediately. Happy customer. I would buy from SWE again.
Great experience with SWE! i found the perfect watch (Rolex ladies date just) at the very best price. Watch arrived looking PERFECT. Thank you, Matt, for exceptional service and product. I would recommend them to family and friends without hesitation, and will shop there again myself. Really good experience.
I am a returning customer and have worked with Jim in the past and most recently Erik. Both were receptive, knowledgeable and most importantly patient. I recently learned this is a family operated business and it shows. There is a true vested interest. A pleasure.
The value for the money is unbelievable. On top of that the overall experience could not have been easier. Creed Crutchfield went out of his way to make sure the watch was perfect and that it fit my wife perfectly. The whole process was made so easy by Creed.
I purchased my Rolex GMT Master II from SWE last year. I called to asked about the specific watch and Matt was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. I've had my watch for over a year and no problems what's so ever. I'm in the market for another Rolex and will definitely be purchasing from SWE very soon.
Hi i purchased a watch for my wife last minute for a Christmas gift It was processed asap with help of the staff at SWE and i received it on Christmas eve by 10:00 a.am. As promised The watch was pristine and my wife was absolutely thrilled Thnx SWE For creating a memorable moment for my wife and I. This is the year of our 30th wedding anniversary.
Excellent service and true craftsmanship in their field. All sales associates are wonderful and knowledgable about every piece in the showroom. Truly a magnificent place. The owners are amazing and go out of their way for you.
I searched high and low for a watch made in the year my husband and I were married. I found it on SWE and it is even better than I expected. My husband loves it! Great anniversary present! Thank you SWE!
Bought a Rolex 15200 from 2000. It was one of the only ones I found that had such a late date, for such a good price and in such good condition. Matthew was very responsive and helpful in answering pre-sale questions, and the transaction was seamless. Arrived in mint condition - just as advertised. Very happy so far!
I just purchased a men's Cartier panthere watch online from Swiss Watch Expo. A couple of years ago my sister bought a vintage Rolex from them and she was very pleased with both her shopping experience and the watch itself. The Rolex is running great. I also enjoyed my shopping experience with Creed, my salesperson, who was knowledgeable about the watch and also informative and friendly. The free and fast shipping worked out great and my watch arrived keeping perfect time. Based on my experience, I can recommend SWE to anyone looking for a first class watch.
Great experience buying a watch for my son (college graduation gift). Was looking at a specific Omega SeaMaster and was directed to an even better watch in stock. Arrived as excepted and looks/works great - son was thrilled!
The service was knowledgeable and thorough. Every detail was executed exactly as was promised. Watches were perfect. Phone support was excellent in every way and sales rep made the transaction very pleasant. Will use them again without hesitation. Top notch staff and organization.
I was looking non-pro-actively for a watch and found a watch from Swiss Expo. I told that it was going to be my first time purchase of an high end and/or vintage watch overseas. Creed is very helpful and kind. He advised me what to take in account when purchasing for the first time such high end vintage watch overseas. With his help, thinking along and the good experiences of other customers, I am already looking and considering to purchase a second one from SWE! Definitely recommend this store! Thanks
Have been a customer for 5 years for both watch service and watch buying. They're great! ATL is fortunate to have a watch store with massive selection and friendly helpful watch lovers to serve you. highly recommend!
Wonderful purchase- and follow up- experience. The website has great details and pictures, making you feel far more confident in your purchase. And i have been pleased with the teams follow up on my purchase as well.
Awesome experience! Creed is the most helpful and informative sales person. I will be a customer for many years to come.
The people I have dealt with at Swiss Watch have been very accommodating, and answer questions very quickly about any particular watch I have had questions about. I appreciate the fact they took time to call me with a follow up on a particular watch. Top notch all the way around.
We bought a watch for our daughter, and I couldn't have been more pleased with both the watch and the customer service! The selection of watches is amazing, and Erik was able to help us find the perfect one! He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and patient. He earned our confidence right away. The follow-up after we purchased the watch has been wonderful. I would highly recommend this company.
Seamless experience with knowledgeable sales people and product as advertised. Easy, timely, and hassle-free. I would recommend them and use them again.
The watch I purchased was listed in excellent condition for a pre-owned luxury watch. When the watch arrived, it came close to mint that I had ever seen. A beautiful time piece and my first ever luxury watch. Michael was excellent in his help and would recommend Swiss Watch Expo! Well done.
I bought my first Rolex (Milgauss with the Z Blue dial) from Swiss Watch Expo in mid-February and the entire experience was extremely pleasant. Michael was fantastic and helped me make the purchase seamless. I will certainly be back for my next purchase. If you're considering buying your first (or 50th) Swiss watch from SWE, I would like to encourage you to make the leap, you will not be disappointed by the excellent experience and customer service. A+.
The watch purchased was exactly as pictured, very clean and well taken care of! I think that their descriptions are on point; for example we saw on that indicated "scratches on the band" and we did not purchase that one, but the one we purchased indicated no noticeable wear flaws, and it truly looked like a brand new watch! My son was thrilled for his gift - it came with a gift bag, and an insurance certificate of value which was wonderful for him to have just in case he needs it!
I have purchased two Rolex watches, one for me and one for my wife. Both purchases were quick and easy with excellent customer service. I highly recommend Swiss Watch Expo and appreciate the expertise and knowledge that Creed and Blake provided me. Thank you very much SWE and Team!!
Like some people I was skeptical spending several thousand dollars with a company that's not an authorized Omega dealer. I went with my gut and decided to go through with the sale. Being a bit nervous waiting for the package to arrive, it finally did. Wow!!!! I opened the package and boy was I floored. The perfect packing and very professional Thank You note was a start, then I got to the unworn Omega Seamaster 300M. What a thing of beauty, I placed it on my wrist and felt like a million bucks. My late father was an Omega lover, he bought one in the 50's when he was overseas, and I promised myself that one day I would own one. SwissWatchExpo made me realize a dream I've had since I was a boy. Thank you for making it happen, you have a customer for life.
Good price, watch was as advertised. I authenticated it once I received it and check out perfectly. Service was excellent.
Great place to make your 1st or 101st luxury watch purchase, everyone—especially Blake was extremely helpful during the buying process. I will definitely be back and would recommend them to a friend.
Great experience, super friendly staff! I had been shopping around for a while and this store has by far the best selection and most importantly every watch was quality. No after market garbage.
Ive bought a tag hauer and also an omega both watches were in a1 condition just as advertised,i didn't measure my wrist and when i called the staff were very helpful in finding me links to make them fit ,as a business owner i like the way they had concern about my issue and did all they could to resolve the issue .because of there excellent service and knowledge of there products im in the process of buying a rolex submariner ,i look forward to doing business with swiss watch expo again . Todd thorpe port huron michigan...
I bought a second watch through Swiss Watch Expo 1 week after I got my first watch from them. Th ET proved to me that they are a first class organization that sells authentic & high functioning watches. Hey have great prices & their shipping & packaging is first rate with a free watch travel case as a nice bonus with each watch purchase
Michael and Blake are very knowledge and quick in their responses. I bought a Rolex and Omega from them and couldn't be happier with the quality of their inventory. Their protective watch boxes are amazing too.
Just wanted to thank the staff at SwissWatchExpo for the help I received for my recent purchase. I was trying to find a pre-owned Cartier Panther for quite some time when I came across their website. It was exactly what I was looking for, well priced and in excellent condition. Jim was my initial contact at SwissWatch but I was also given assistance by Erik and Ernesto. You can't go wrong with anyone of these gentlemen. Jim was extremely knowledgeable with the watch line and I know this since I myself use to work in watch sales many years ago. I'll admit, it seemed to be a purchase that was too good to be true, but I took the watch to my local Cartier boutique for assurance and they confirmed it was indeed a legitimate watch. I will absolutely be referring friends and family to this company for any pre-owned watch needs. I'm sure to be using them again soon in the near future for another purchase! Thank you!!
I purchased a Rolex for both myself and my wife for Christmas! The watches were everything and more that we saw on the website. Great service and speedy delivery. This is the second time I have bought from Swiss Watch Expo and no disappointments!
Bought an Air King, 34 mm. It was too small for my taste. Returned w/o hassle and bought a Datejust 36mm. Great buy & super satisfied. Dealt w/Creed mostly who was knowledgeable, professional and friendly as was all staff. Will shop again when ready.
Purchasing a watch online sight-unseen can be an intimidating experience. I had been researching Omega Seamasters for several months until I was fairly familiar with the online inventory. I subscribed to the "new arrivals" page on SWE until my future watch, a Seamaster Chrono became available at the lowest price I had yet seen. Within 2 days I had my watch by UPS. I ended up needing one half link added to the bracelet which I was able to get from SWE within a few days. The condition of my watch was listed as "very good" but after having studied the watch I can find absolutely no signs of wear. It looks, wears, and functions like a brand new watch. I will definitely look on SWE first for my next watch. Thanks to Blake for all your help!
Wow!!! These guys went above and beyond what was necessary to insure a new customer's happiness and satisfaction. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish? I think it is TIME for everyone to splurge a little and obtain a fine watch from this company! Enjoy it!!!!
I found out about Swiss Watch Expo through a friend that has bought many watches from them and so glad that I did! I traded in a Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor and bought an unworn Rolex Yachtmaster II 116681 watch. The whole process couldn't have been smoother and I will be coming back for future watch purchases and recommending them to all my friends. Thank you so much for my beautiful new watch guys!
I recently purchased a Cartier from Victoria and Jim at Swiss Watch Expo. I scheduled an appointment in advance and told them the options I was interested in (based on the website). They had the watches ready for me when I came in and politely explained details behind the watches, giving me time to try them on as well. Impeccable customer service! The watch I purchased looked brand new. I wear it all the time and have received many wonderful compliments.
Just got my awesome Rolex Air King received Quickly and the condition was just perfect also it came with original box and papers very satisfied. Would highly recommend Bbarton
These guys helped me find the perfect watch. I'm immensely happy with their service, professionalism, communication and of course the watch!

Had a great experience with Michael and Mathew. Michael helped me twice, first, with a trade of one Rolex for another, and then a second time, when I returned that watch for an upgrade to my present Rolex GMT Master. One cannot go wrong dealing with SWE!
Good variety of watches and easy website to navigate. Transaction went through with no problem. They don't send tracking info which causes some consternation (requirement of their insurer), but you can call them for info on the day of arrival. Watch arrived on time and everything was as advertised. Recipient of this gift was extremely satisfied.
Theses guys are extremely helpful and offer great watches. Love my Breitling and the quality was mint. Fast shipping with tracking info. Great experience. Highly recommend. Plan to visit next time I am in Atlanta
Erik was so helpful when it came to purchasing my first Rolex! Love the shop, love the customer service, love the fast shipping!
The Rolex I bought was exactly as promised to me. Honesty and transparency with that velvet touch. I was scared buying a high dollar item off the internet from photos. It takes a lot of trust, and the guys at SwissWatchExpo came through like champions. My 2018 Rolex 126660-0001 is a beauty. Thank you Erik Plumb and everyone else involved with my purchase. Sincerely, Markus Wakefield
I was impressed with everything from the minute I walked in the store. They were thoughtful, knowledgeable and able to accommodate all of my needs. I chose my Rolex and they assisted me in every way to make sure it was the right one and fit for me. My purchase couldn't have been any smoother.
Just purchased a Rolex from SWE and impeccable service and Kindness from the whole team and Jim & Erik Process was super smooth, and I received the watch as promised the next morning. Watch condition was brand new as described with full set box + papers and original Rolex protections Thanks for a great professional business !!!
Great experience. I cane from South Carolinia because of the great selection. When i arrived Victoria helped me and still was one of the best sales experience possible. I would go back and would recomend SWE
No complaints. I walked in not knowing I needed an appointment, but they helped me anyway. Victoria and Michael were both very helpful, and answered all of my questions. Very happy with my purchase. Huge Rolex selection, a tad overwhelming at first if I'm being honest. Everything from understated to something you'd see in a Migos music video. Happy with purchase.
I bought a Rose Gold Cartier Tank Americaine At an amazing price. The watch was delivered within two days and looked exactly like the photos from the website. Excellent condition. I can't wait for my next purchase
Bought a 116500 Daytona black dial yesterday and Michael Cash was most helpful with assisting me with my time piece. I had some further questions after my purchase and gave him a call the day after and he spent a good bit of time answering my questions. When I am in the market for another time piece I'll be going back for sure. Thanks Michael for all your help.
Fantastic Experience! Until now I never spent more than $600-700 on a sight-unseen/online purchase (typically electronics), so you can imagine my reluctance to spend $15,000. I researched the value of the watch (Rolex) and determined it was a very good value. More importantly, I also extensively researched the vendor (SWE) and felt even more comfortable knowing they have an actual store in Atlanta. As well, their web-site has excellent and extensive clear, sharp photos and info of the actual watch... far superior to any of their competitors that I shopped. After a few conversations with Victoria & Blake, I had no further hesitation and "closed the deal" online. In less than 24 hours, I received the watch by FedEx. My wife is ecstatic with what looks like a brand new watch, and I am delighted with the cost and service. No catches or surprises other than a VERY smooth process. I will also point out that I have not received any request nor any compensation or discount for this review. I am just a happy customer and want to share my delight!
My trade and purchase with SWE has been extremely positive. They gave me a fair price for the watch I traded (IWC) and a very competitive price on the purchase (Rolex). I interacted primarily with Michael and appreciate his professional demeanor and honestly throughout the process. I have already recommended SWE to others and will utilize them first on my next purchase. Thank you!
GreAt in-store experience buying my first luxury watch! Though nOt a typical retail environment and set up for online sales, in store staff were great and very helpful. Make sure to have an appointment! Huge selection of Pre-owned prestige watches. Very satisfied!
I purchased my Rolex day date from swiss and my experience was nothing less than perfect. I would purchase from them again without hesitation, as well as reccomend to all my family and friends.
Michael helped me find the exact Rolex I wanted. When I saw it live it was more beautiful than online. Absolutely impeccable service and knowledge. Great experience! He even put new pins in the Rolex I was wearing. Thanks for everything Michael!
My sales rep was very knowledgeable and approachable. Answered all my questions from the basic to the complex and reassured me about making a substantial purchase online. Absolutely first rate. My watch is beautiful.
I was very skeptical about buying a Rolex on line. I looked at a number of sites, and read the fine print. One had a return policy of 3 days from date of shipment -- a/k/a no policy. Others charged 10-15% to return. Many advertised "upgraded Rolexes" which means aftermarket faces, jewels, bevels and/or bands. I ultimately purchased a very nice all-gold Rolex for my girlfriend. She used to sell preowned Rolexes at a jeweler, and knows her stuff. She concluded the watch was genuine and in great shape -- everything SWE said it would be. It's nice to deal with an honest, up-front seller that keeps such a high standard.
Bought last month a hard to find model of a watch in "unworn/never worn" condition from Swiss Watch Expo and had a very positive experience. It was a "Special Order Item" so it took me a week to receive the watch. Their price was the best I found and I even paid through a bank wire to save an additional 3%. Being my first time buying an expensive watch online, I have to say that I was a bit anxious. Having said that, Ernesto and the team were very professional, understanding and patient. When the watch arrived everything was perfect: original box, papers, warranty, stickers, etc; just like buying a brand new watch. To be 100% certain that the watch was authentic and for my peace of mind I decided to take the watch to an authorized dealer. I was finally relaxed when they reconfirmed that it was an authentic, original piece. I am a happy Swiss Watch Expo client and the proud owner of a brand new ("unworn") beautiful watch.
Bought my first Rolex from this site and it has been the best decision I made the watch was actually better in person when I received it !! Couldn't be more happy I highly recommend Swicc Watch Expo
Bought my wife a Rolex, they were Very professional and knowledgeable, everything was perfect on delivery, Wife is very happy with her watch !!
We purchased a watch from SWE on line and were satisfied. Then, We had an opportunity to visit the store, WOW what a great experience, from the numerous selections of watches, to our accommodating salesman, Michael . Would highly recommend Swiss Watch Expo.
I purchased a vintage 18k gold Rolex watch for my daughter. When I received it it was in mint condition and beautiful. Its around 35 years old and looks new, my daughter loves it!
I'll never buy a watch from another business! I've had nothing but extremely helpful customer service from the beginning of a purchase, to the end, and even later with a trade in! Swiss Watch Expo has the best prices, selection, and payment options. I purchased a watch from them, found out I wanted to trade into a different one, and they helped make that possible. Thanks for going above and beyond to make sure your customers are satisfied; you have a customer for life with me!
They were very helpful when I called about a watch I wanted to buy as a Christmas gift. They helped me make sure I got the right one. Which I did and he loved it. Thanks so much for making my experience a great one.
This is the second time that I deal with Swiss watch Expo, my experience is great and I am so happy that I deal with such great sales people, they know what it takes to make there customers happy and I am one of them. Thank you and you have earned my business. 5 star all day
Michael answered all my questions and helped me with my 1st watch purchase. They are competitively priced and Conveniently located (in Atlanta, GA) so easy to see the watches in person.
I was completely happy with my experience of buying my Cartier Panthere from this company. Over the course of a few weeks I spoke to three of their employees, all of whom were courteous and helpful. My watch is exactly how they represented it—perfect.
Purchased a newer Rolex date 34mm for my wife, white dial with some diamonds. Watch arrived in fantastic condition, great watch great job by this company!
After doing a lot of research, I settled on SWE for our purchase. From start to finish my experience was a 10. Blake was informed, informative, patient and responsive throughout the process.
I recently purchased my very first Rolex from SWE. I had been researching and looking for my first Rolex watch for several years. I reached out to SWE and was put in touch with Jim who was excellent. He sent me photos of a couple of watches I was looking at and had a lady in the store put them on so I could compare sizing on her arm and also see them in pictures other than what was displayed on their page. He was not pushy and gave me some really good honest advice, which I really appreciated. I honestly felt like he wanted me to be happy with my purchase and wasn't just trying to sell me jus any watch. I ended up finding the perfect watch for me, when It arrived it looked better than the pictures showed, it looked brand new and was in excellent condition. I have recommended several of my friends to SWE. Even though I live in California and have options closer to home I will always go back to SWE. I found The whole process to be very easy and professional and I will continue to go back to SWE. Thank you again to SWE and Jim, I love my Rolex and I couldn't be happier.
OMG what a great experience. I went to the store and was greeted by very knowledgeable people who helped me through the entire process of finding my watch. Plus, I was able to see the work area behind some glass windows, and I realized how much care went into each and every watch they have on hand for sale or repair. Later, about a month, I needed some help with my watch and they were right there ready and able to accommodate me in every way they could. They sell watches but they do it with heart. I'm 70 and that means so much to me. Creed you're wonderful and thank you for some other advice that I needed which had nothing to do with watches. They CARE. Dawn Marx A business that care about they're customers, imagine that.
I received my watch on time and the quality was great; their prices are very reasonable when you consider shipping is free and there are no taxes. I will use them again ; they have a lot of beautiful pieces ; I got a Rolex that takes 2-4 months to get anywhere else.
