After reading my joint review of Stations of the Elevated and Style Wars, Tony, a longtime friend of mine, asked me a very good question (I bet you thought I forgot about it!). After assuring me that he understood my stance on graffiti and street art, and the importance of various artistic modes of expression, he asked where we should draw the line between self-expression and vandalism. This question actually made me pause, because I didn't have a good answer that didn't make me sound like an anarchist trying to overthrow the government or a complete hippie who believed that we should just do what makes us happy, man.
With illicit forms of self-expression, it's hard to logically explain why I'm such a proponent when clearly it's both illegal and will need to be removed at the taxpayer's/owner's expense. Especially now, as I am training to be a conservator (and taking a masonry conservation/architectural restoration course), I find it more and more difficult to justify my passion for an inherently illegal and aesthetically damaging mode of expression to my colleagues.
Growing up in New York City, I was exposed to both murals and graffiti. However, as a child, it never occurred to me that the artists who created these beautiful works had never gotten permission to paint on the walls that they covered. Even then, I abhorred toys and tags, thinking that they were childish attempts at self-glorification. When I first started this blog, I wanted to draw a line between street art and graffiti and stay as far away from the subject of graffiti as possible, instead sticking with the works resulting from the street art scene (hence the name of this blog), as these were the more "acceptable" and usually more "artistic" form of guerrilla art.
But, as I started researching the roots that street art had in graffiti, my understanding of graffiti's history and culture evolved, and so did my acceptance. Not only did I come to accept and appreciate graffiti as a valid form of urban expression, I came to look for it in my own life and love its presence as well. The truth is that my dialectic has been based on a constantly evolving personal opinion about the importance and significance of how these guerilla acts of expression affect our urban visual landscape. Now, I want to differentiate between graffiti artists (those who create elaborate burners) and tagger/toys writers (who typically practice aerosol scrawl), even though I feel that their presence is still a significant mark upon the urban visual landscape (even if for the sheer reason of "brand name" recognition), I think that it is no more than a self-absorbed indulgence by disenfranchised or egotistical youth rather than artistic expression. So I suppose that tagging and sticker slapping is now where I draw the line in terms of urban guerilla modes of expression that I am not a proponent of.
So, even though my opinion is constantly evolving the more I learn and am exposed to, I think that ultimately taggers and sticker slappers must learn some form of restraint. Gone are the days of "more is better" and the irony of being a ubiquitous brand name is dated. Now, graffiti artists are experiencing the pressure of being just that: artists. But as we push for legality as a means of justification for illicit forms of self-expression, a different question is raised, which is that of legitimacy. Does taking the illicit out of an inherently illicit form of urban artistic expression affect the authenticity of the artwork?
Artists like Swoon, who work with inherently ephemeral materials face less controversy and public animosity specifically because the works they put up are made of ephemeral materials. As I have written previously, Swoon's prints can most frequently be found in the forgotten corners of otherwise obvious public spaces. She does not consider what she is doing illegal, and instead pastes her prints up unabashedly, sometimes in the middle of the day, which allows passersby to interact with her as she is hanging them. In spite of this impermanent aspect of her work, is it classified under the same category as permanent defacement of property and is still considered as illegal as art made with more permanent materials, such as aerosol spray or markers. Even street artists who work with less ephemeral materials, face less scrutiny than graffiti artists, if simply because what they do oftentimes just seems more artistic. This degree of acceptance is less felt towards graffiti artists, even if what they put up are artistic burners (which do require a lot of skill). This could be because of the remaining anti-graffiti sentiment resulting from the late 1980s, when former NYC mayor Ed Koch argued the Broken Window Theory in order to promote stricter anti-graffiti laws.
When UK artist Hush was in New York City during his weekend debut exhibition "Found" at the Angel Orensanz Foundation back in November, I ran into him by way of crazy random happenstance as I was out and about searching for some of the other work he had put up on buildings around downtown Manhattan (seriously, it's a good story, you should ask me about it sometime). Once introduced, we got to chatting for about half an hour about his experiences and the whirlwind time he was having in NYC while I desperately tried to repress my desire to hop around squealing like a fan-girl. When we started talking about the issue of authenticity and whether showing in a gallery would de-legitimize his work, Hush said, "people ask me that all the time. I don't think that it needs to be criminal to be authentic. Sometimes I'll feel naughty and pull out a pen and tag something up, but I rarely do anything illegal. I'm not a criminal. It's not like I ruin property- I revitalize areas that are already ignored and wrecked." And indeed, Hush had gotten permission from the three locations that he had put up his work up outside the gallery.
And his is a sentiment I can get behind. I think to justify an inherently illegal act, it is the first instinct of the connoisseur to frame these works and put them into a gallery or cut them from the wall and auction them to the highest bidder. Many argue that removing a form of expression so closely tied with the urban environment and putting it into a stark white setting undermines the legitimacy of the piece by destroying its context. However, like Hush, I do not believe that this is the case. In recent years, as graffiti has started to become recognized as a legitimate form of artistic expression, and as street art (as I mentioned before, the "third generation graffiti") has coming into prominence, it is more common for artists to seek permission, take part in legal exhibitions, or show their work in galleries. Even public opinion has started to ease up somewhat in regards to this form of expression.
I have previously written about the revitalization of third spaces (areas clearly owned but otherwise unkempt), the rationale of making art available everywhere everyday to everyone, and the importance of reclaiming the urban landscape from the corporate machine. Permission is sometimes obtained for murals and more complex and artistic-looking graffiti. However, whether due to the aversion of the public to accept graffiti as an authentic means of artistic expression or to the aversion of grafiteros to find legal alternatives or the futility of attempting to separate urban art from the urban situation that it usually arises out of in the first place, permission is not usually granted or even asked for.
Once it is understood that legality is necessary to legitimize this body of work, the main concern becomes authenticity. After all, separating these pieces from the environments that spawned them and putting them into sterile environments that may destroy the intent of the work becomes a worry. However there is another alternative available for consideration. In fact, I think that a true solution for both these issues can come from grafiteros asking permission to practice their craft as well as through the generation of legal projects and creation of more legal spaces to work on.
Legal walls and spaces have been around for as long as graffiti has been in existence, though it is important to check if the location is curated and requires a submission for consideration or only open to locals. Two very interesting sites have worked to document the legal wall spaces around the world and the USA. I have seen and experienced a variety of spaces, from mutually understood spaces for street art, such as Wooster Street, closed wall spaces, such as the 106 Street Wall of Kings, institutions showcasing multiple artists' works, such as 5 Pointz and ABC No Rio, institutions that offer outdoor space to one artist at a time, such as Deitch and Woodward Gallery, and institutions that have exhibited the works of street artists in interior spaces, such as 112 Greene Street and Angel Orensanz Gallery (to name only a few of each!), as well as the host of privately and public owned walls that have proudly exhibited murals and artists' works. Additionally, organizations such as No Longer Empty work to revitalize third spaces with artwork and make art available to a wider public by connecting owners of derelict spaces with artists. Each type of space has its pros and cons, but I think that it is important to have these types of spaces for artists and writers to exhibit their work on.
So in the end, I suppose the best argument I can come up with is that since graffiti is here anyway, why not embrace it and push for legal spots rather than relegating it to the rooftops and alley, or worse, the starkness of an institutionalized space? No matter what, I remain a proponent for the legitimization of this urban form of artistic expression and will continue writing in my own attempt to legitimize this form of urban outsider art as a well-received and widely-recognized form of artistic expression. Therefore, I strongly urge artists and writers to keep expressing their creativity, but to ask owners for permission or seek legal projects. By moving this form of urban expression to the light of day, we can work to legitimize this beautiful art together.

Had the brackets installed in 15mins (inclusive of taking photos). Anyone with some basic tools and Google translate will be able to do it.
I found there was a vast difference in my seating position.
The slightly more rearward position meant my buttocks were touching the rear seat. I have a feeling that may be the proper position to sit based on how nicely my thighs fit into the curves of the fuel tank.
Your riding position is a fair bit more aggressive and I'd recommend you work on your core muscles to effectively utilise this new attack position. That said, you can still relax your geometry by riding with your heels on the pegs rather than using the balls of your feet.
Until I get a really aggresive pair of clipons, I can imagine myself going longer distances even with this rearset adjuster, but time will tell.
The bracket is ABS-compatible, just take note to position the rear master hose out of the way of the airbox/battery box while installing. Test your position, Loctite it and you're good to go.
The provided tension rod is sufficient for the stock shifter, but I will have to fabricate/buy a new tension rod for use with my incoming GP-shifter.
Remember not to overtighten your bolts onto aluminium.
- отправил Jan 8, 2019Great for adjusting your riding position...I got the rearset risers as I'm a little on the short side, and could not properly clamp onto the tank with my thighs. Lean angle was not a consideration as I had changed out my pegs and I'm currently...Прочитайте больше

Husband pleads not guilty to shooting, killing Wauwatosa police officer
Trial date will be set for Ben Sebena on March 1
The husband accused of killing his wife and Wauwatosa police officer while she was on duty, pleaded not guilty.
Bearded and wearing protective clothing, Ben Sebena, 30, was wheeled into his arraignment hearing Thursday morning.
Sebena's charged with first-degree intentional homicide charges in the shooting death of Officer Jennifer Sebena, while she was on duty Christmas Eve morning.
Members of Ben Sebena's family were at the arraignment, but left with no comment.
Jennifer Sebena was laid to rest Dec. 29.
Police said in the weeks leading up to her death, she confided in fellow police Officer Tracy Burbach, about her husband dealing with post traumatic stress after two tours of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he suffered a traumatic bran injury.
Recently released court records highlight more details from a subpoena that Jennifer Sebena also told Burbach that Ben Sebena had flashbacks about still being a marine.
In one flashback in December, she told Burbach he pointed a gun at her head.
Police said Sebena admitted to stalking his wife several times when she was on duty and that he and his wife exchanged text messages hours before the shooting.
The phone records have been turned over to prosecutors.
Sebena is scheduled to be back in court March 1. At that time the judge will schedule his trial.
If convicted, Sebena faces life in prison.

Union Unite has confirmed five more days of strike action at Fujitsu.
Starting tomorrow, Friday 22 January, 454 union members at Fujitsu will walk out. Further strike days are planned for Friday 29 January, Monday 1 February, Friday 5 February and Monday 8 February.
Unite members in Northern Ireland will strike 26 January, and members in Scotland, England and Wales will strike Wednesday 27 January.
The union complains that Fujitsu is forcing closure of its final salary pension scheme on staff in a move which effectively cuts their salaries by 20 per cent. It is also pushing to end the pay freeze at Fujitsu, which it is bringing in despite the firm's big profits - £177m last year. The union is also campaigning to keep job cuts to a minimum and oppose compulsory redundancy.
In a ballot held last October 74 per cent of Unite's members at Fujitsu voted in favour of industrial action.
Fujitsu employs 11,000 people in the UK at over 100 locations. Fujitsu Services provides tech support to many government departments and big companies. ®

The new Color Lookup Adjustment Layer in Photoshop CS 6 has several options (3DLUT File, Abstract, and Device Link) that are used to load different "looks". These looks are achieved by remapping every color in the image to a different one using a lookup table (LUT). I think that many photographers and designers will find their resulting color shifts quite interesting.
Note: historically, LUTs have been used primarily by the film industry as they're an excellent way to apply color adjustments from one application in another application that may not share the same math. For instance, a film workflow may involve 6 different compositing and rendering applications — some with good color adjustments and some without. If they create one 3DLUT that contains all of their adjustments, then they can use that LUT in all the applications to get their desired look. In the film and video industry, they may have LUTs for source normalization, scene color correction, creative color appearance and output simulation.
Here are some examples of the LUTs that Chris Cox included in Photoshop CS6. You can think of these tables as a sort of meta-adjustment, a way to apply pre-packaged adjustments (sometimes lots of adjustments together) in one step.
Of course Chris provided more "looks" than appear in the illustration above, so I created a downoadable file (LUTimage_replace.psd) that you can use to quickly see your own image with each look applied:LUTimage_replace.psd
To replace the Venice image with your own:
• Open YOUR image and crop it to 1500 x 1000 pixels at 150 ppi (it can be either horizontal or vertical).
• Choose File > Save As to save your cropped version of the file with a new name (please don't save over your original).
• Open the "LUTimage_replace.psd" file and in the Layers panel, select the "JKOST_original" layer.
• Choose Layer > Smart Objects > Replace Contents, navigate to your cropped image, and choose Place.
• Voila! All copies of the original image are updated and are displayed with the appropriate LUT (through the magic of Smart Objects).
Note: The Mac operating system includes 6 Abstract profiles (Black & White, Blue Tone, Gray Tone, Lightness Decrease, Lightness Increase, and Sepia). The last row of images in the "LUTimage_replace.psd" image (Abstract Mac) show these profiles. Windows users will be able to see the LUT in this file, and the profiles will display in the Abstract list for this file, but the 6 profiles will not be available in the Abstract list to apply to other images.
If you have your own LUTs, you can copy them here to have them appear in Photoshop's Color Lookup adjustment layer's options:
• Abstract and Device Link profiles are stored in Library > Application Support > Adobe > Color Profiles.
• The 3DLUTs are stored in Applications > Photoshop CS6 > Presets > 3DLUTs.
Because this feature was designed for the film and video industry that have their own LUT files, there currently is no way to create LUT files in Photoshop. You can currently, create LUTs in products such as Adobe SpeedGrade CS6. If you would be interested in such a feature within Photoshop, then we could consider it in a future release. I would suggest posting your comments/requests to one of these locations:
I've stumbled upon this while exploring CS6.
I was working with a pseudo Granger Chart, looking to do exactly what the new Color Lookup feature does, but manually, using a dozen masks to control the colour.
I got really excited about this, but it looks like I may still need to do this as Adobe SpeedGrade is entirely out of the realm of possibility in terms of affordability. Maybe there's something free out there?
Obviously I would be overjoyed if you guys included something to make these directly in Photoshop.
Looking at what should be contained in the LUT files (just a 1D or 3D mapping) maybe I can write something to make these. Ideally one should be able to take a test color image, manipulate it directly, then translate it into a mapping…
Thanks a lot for your time and effort, your posts are always a great source of accurate information and creative inspiration, two great qualities that aren't found together that often. And, incidentally, while playing with this file I found out the answer to a problem with smart objects I've been suffering for the past few months – I hadn't realised until right now that replacing a smart object's content with a jpg file causes the "save as dialog" to appear everytime I try to update+save the contents of such smart object. This thread at http://phtshp.us/Ku8sjp lead me to the solution, but the reason I looked for it was that while playing with your file, I encountered this problem for the n-th time and I thought it was about time to google for it and look for an answer. So… thanks again!!
It will be nice to be able to load a flat tga texture (ex: 256wx16h) that we use a lot in gaming industry as you can see in this UDK documentation http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ColorGrading.html#Color%20correction it will be way easier to use. Please an update to support that ;o)
We have a minor conflict there, since TGA is also used for the Targa image format.
Also, there appear to be no standards on how to interpret 3DLUTs stored in TGA files — every application/toolkit seems to treat them differently.
But I'll see what I can do.
Photoshop never ceases to amaze me! I had noticed "Color Lookup" while working in CS6 and wondered what it was – thank you for the tutorial – I love the feature. Are there more formulas available to expand the filters?
Still in the dark, in CS6, is there a sepia filter or do I need to create it from scratch ? thank you.
There are several default sepia adjustments in Photoshop – it's a simple appearance that doesn't need 3DLUTs.
The highest quality sepia toning presets are probably in the gradient map adjustment, in the photographic toning gradient presets.
Julieanne, you never cease to amaze me at how many things I learn from your tutorials! Thank You!
I recently stumbled upon Color Lookups, and have used them on most of my photos ever since!
I'd love to be able to take an image with at certain look/color tone and extract the LUT on other images. Say, an old sixties photo with flat orange skin tones etc. Or is there some other feature that already does this?
Thank you for your great tutorials.
I have been interested in using the LUT adjustment layers on CMYK images to do isolated profile to profile conversions using layer masks. Are there other resources or websites that are dealing with their generation and use in CMYK files? Thanks very much for all you do.
Thanks for the reply. That was what I had encountered as well. I had all ready made a device link with ColorThink but had not found really any conversation out there on the web about this specific use.
With regards to the color management behavior of the image and the DLP, I presume that the color settings or tagged profile on the images takes precedence over the source profile in the DLP? In other words, file is tagged GRACoL but DLP is SWOP3>SWOP3(long black). Does it then become a conversion from GRACoL>SWOP3(long black) or is the area in the layer mask retagged with the source of the DLP and the area is converted to SWOP3>SWOP3(long black)? And once its applied, does the files tagged profile then take precedence for display?
Thanks for the help…..Alison

PEORIA — The Illinois chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union came to the aid of the man behind the parody Twitter account that lampooned Mayor Jim Ardis, said one official Tuesday.
And it appears the civil rights group is on the cusp of filing a lawsuit against City Hall and possibly the mayor, alleging the First and Fourth Amendment rights of Jon Daniel were violated by the police during their investigation and a subsequent raid of a West Bluff house that led to another occupant being arrested on marijuana charges.
"Political parody, according to some estimates, is at least 2,400 years old, dating back to the Greek dramatist Aristophanes' critiques of Athenian strategy in the Peloponnesian War," said ACLU spokesman Ed Yohnka. "We believe that what Mr, Daniel did is well within the tradition of parody and he should never have been submitted to a police raid as a result of that activity."
Yohnka said the ACLU represents Daniel and that a lawsuit was likely to be filed "soon," adding the organization was "very comfortable" that Daniel's activity, while vulgar, was legally protected.
"We hope this action will send a strong signal to all that wrongful use of the police power to suppress protected speech, even when it is critical or makes fun of public officials is an abuse of power and is not acceptable," he said.
For weeks, rumors have flown about the group getting involved. Yohnka confirmed Tuesday that the ACLU first got involved in late April when they contacted Peoria police and State's Attorney Jerry Brady, demanding that the cellphones, computers, and other electronic items seized during an April 15 raid be returned.
On Tuesday, Yohnka said all those items had been returned to the occupants in the home.
But the organization was still "very concerned about the larger issue" of the police clamping down on protected speech. He said he could find no other example throughout the nation where a person's home was raided due to a parody Twitter account. Parodies, the spokesman said, were part of a time-honored tradition in the United States dating back to the colonial days.
"It is a form of speech that enjoys a high level of protection under the First Amendment. Many elected officials, professional athletes, actors and celebrities are subjects of parody accounts on social media but this is the first instance, to our knowledge, in which a public official called on the power of the police to target those who author such accounts," he said.
The April 15 raid garnered national attention both on social media and in other media outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. In nearly all cases, the actions of the city were derided by journalists and others who believed the raid on the house was heavy-handed.
Ardis has consistently maintained he contacted the police in mid-March, pointing out the Twitter account, which had only about 50 followers. He told police he would prosecute and then has said he largely stayed out of the fray as the police investigated, using multiple search warrants to gain information from Twitter, Google and Comcast about the identities of the account owners.
By the time the house was raided on April 15, the account had already been shut down by Twitter. Another occupant, Jacob Elliott, 36, has been charged with felony possession of marijuana as a result of drugs being found when police raided the home. His case is set for a preliminary hearing later this week.

Study Shows Importance of Doctors' Recommendation in Boosting HPV Vaccination Rates
By Rita Rubin
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Oct. 20, 2011 -- Doctors need to recommend the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to help increase the number of girls getting immunized, according to CDC researchers.
Two vaccines against human papillomavirus, a common sexually transmitted infection, were licensed for use in the U.S. in 2006 and 2009. The vaccines target the main types of HPV that cause cervical cancer.
Each HPV vaccine consists of three doses, with the first two doses given one or two months apart (depending on which vaccine is given), and the third one given six months after the first.
In 2006, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that girls get vaccinated at age 11 or 12, before they become sexually active and are exposed to HPV.
The committee also recommended that older teens and women up to age 26 who haven't been fully vaccinated receive "catch-up" vaccinations.
But an analysis of 2008 and 2009 nationwide survey data found that only about 40% of girls 13 to 17 had received at least one dose of the vaccine, and only about half of those girls had received all three.
The study is published in Pediatrics.
"It's hard to say that I'm surprised, but it is concerning," says study researcher Christina Dorell, MD, MPH, a medical epidemiologist at the CDC.
Dorell says that vaccination coverage among teens 13 through 17 had risen since 2006. But the increases were greater for the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) and meningococcal vaccines than for the HPV vaccine.
Girls whose health care providers recommended the HPV vaccine were twice as likely to at least get the first dose as girls whose provider didn't make that recommendation, Dorell's new study found.
Role of Parents
About 27% of the parents of unvaccinated girls said they were not likely at all to get their daughters vaccinated in the next year, the study shows. Another 10% said they weren't sure.
Lack of knowledge about the HPV vaccine, the notion that it wasn't needed, and the belief that their daughters weren't sexually active were the main reasons that parents said they didn't plan to get them vaccinated.
Parents are used to taking babies and young children to the doctor for their immunizations, Dorell says, but "once you get to these teenage years, they're going to the doctor less frequently." And the fact that the HPV vaccine requires three trips to the doctor's office complicates matters, she says.
Dorell and co-researchers suggest that doctors schedule appointments for the second and third doses when parents bring their daughters in for the first and send out reminders for the upcoming visits.
Kristen Feemster, MD, agrees with Dorell about the importance of health care providers promoting HPV vaccination to parents. Feemster is an infectious disease specialist and health services researcher at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She was not involved in Dorell's study
"If you don't have a strong recommendation from your provider, and you have any doubts at all, you're going to be less likely to walk into the room and say, 'I want my child to have this,'" Feemster says.
One big difference between the HPV vaccine and other childhood vaccines is that it protects against a disease, cervical cancer, that doesn't affect children, Feemster notes. "It doesn't feel quite as imperative."

President Barack Obama told world leaders Tuesday that attacks on U.S. citizens in Libya "were attacks on America," and he called on them to join in confronting the root causes of the rage across the Muslim world.
"I do believe that it is the obligation of all leaders, in all countries, to speak out forcefully against violence and extremism," Obama said in a speech to the annual gathering of the United Nations General Assembly.
Obama also condemned the anti-Muslim video that helped spark the recent attacks, calling it "cruel and disgusting." But he strongly defended the U.S. Constitution's protection of the freedom of expression, "even views that we profoundly disagree with."
With U.S. campaign politics shadowing every word, Obama also warned that time to peacefully curb the Iranian nuclear crisis is running out.
He said there is "still time and space" to resolve the issue through diplomacy. But that time is not limited."
"Make no mistake: A nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations and the unraveling of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty," he said.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has accused Obama of not being tough enough on Iran and of turning his back on Israel and other allies in the Middle East. Romney also has said he doesn't have much faith in peace prospects between Israelis and Palestinians.
Obama told the U.N.: "Among Israelis and Palestinians, the future must not belong to those who turn their backs on the prospect of peace."
Romney in separate remarks to a global conference sponsored by former President Bill Clinton, said the attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that took the life of the U.S. ambassador and three other U.S. citizens was an act of terrorism.
Obama mentioned the slain U.S. ambassador, Christopher Stevens, several times in his address.
"Today, we must declare that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens and not by his killers. Today, we must declare that this violence and intolerance has no place among our United nations," he said.
Unlike Romney, Obama has not specifically called the attacks in Libya and other U.S. missions terrorism.
Obama said that "at a time when anyone with a cellphone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button," the notion that governments can control the flow of information is obsolete.
"There is no speech that justifies mindless violence," such as the attack that left the four Americans dead in Libya, Obama said.
"The strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech – the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect."

Over the course of history, there have been a ton of great musicians. There have also been many great artists. But, Bob Marley was so much more than that.
Bob Marley is a cultural icon, leaving a lasting impact on the world through his music, personal views, and more. His legacy lives on not only through his songs, and through his children who are following in his musical footsteps, but also through his powerful thoughts and beliefs, frozen in time forever via many quotes of his that have now become famous.
In honor of Black Music Month, we are taking a look back on some of the most inspirational, uplifting, and important Bob Marley lyrics and quotes from this truly tremendous figure in music and cultural history. Read on below.
"Don't worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright."
"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."
"One love, one heart. Let's get together and feel all right."
"Money can't buy life."
"The road to life is rocky, and you may stumble too. So while you point your fingers, someone else is judging you."
"None but ourselves can free our mind."
"Don't gain the world and lose your soul/Wisdom is better than silver and gold."
"In this great future, you can't forget your past/So dry your tears, I say."
"Wake up and live, y'all/Wake up and live."
"We got to fight the system, because God never made no difference between black, white, blue, pink or green. People is people, y'know. That's the message we try to spread."
"What one man thinks is great. But only a fool leans upon his own understanding."
"Musicians must be spokespeople for the oppressed masses."
"Though the road's been rocky, it sure feels good to me."
"When one door is closed, don't you know that many more are open."
"Love the life you live. Live the life you love."
"Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight."
"The day you stop racing, is the day you win the race."
"You just can't live in that negative way, make way for the positive day."
"You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice."

To learn more about Philips enterprise telehealth programs click below.
The eICU program can help reform your organization's clinical model with centralized, remote surveillance by skilled professionals; proprietary algorithms and clinical decision support, enabling proactive care delivery.
Philips modular approach to enterprise telehealth enables health systems to transition to a telehealth care delivery model and scale their programs using an implementation plan and pace that works for their specific needs.
For lower-capacity health systems and hospitals (those with fewer than 50 ICU beds), it may not be possible to implement a complete enterprise telehealth program in-house. Philips recognizes this and facilitates access to an extensive range of telehealth capabilities by connecting you with an eICU program provider through our eICU Outreach Program. By partnering with an existing Philips eICU program, organizations can have their critical care beds monitored and realize the clinical benefits of an eICU program with minimal investment.
General mortality
Patients receiving critiical care from a hospital with Philips elCU were 16% more likely to survive the ICU
General floor length of stay
Patients receiving critical care from a hospital with Philips elCU discharged ICU 15% faster
Philips eICU Research Institute (eRI) was established by Philips as a platform to advance the knowledge of critical care. The ERI database is a repository of anonymous data donated by member institutions and is instrumental in product development as well as a key enabler for critical research in the intensive care field.

Hi there,
I know this probably isnt the right place to ask,
but if anyone can help would be great as I don't know what else to try.. it is maybe a simple problem...
I have asked on firefox and no solution so far...
I can't download Java 7 update 40 on firefox (or on IE). I have tried everything suggested in the forum here and keep getting the same message:
'The connection was reset whilst the page was loading..'
(All my other pages/searches are loading fine).
It seems to have started when my pc did an automatic update to Windows 9, so when nothing else worked, I uninstalled Windows 9 and am now running Windows 8 but Java still not working. I have uninstalled all the old version of Java in my programmes, including all the 'toolkits' etc. Not sure if that was good idea, but done now.. I checked the enable java in all the internet options boxes etc as told to on the forums.
My Windows Vista is running on 32 bit operating system - always has... Could this be the problem? Is the new Java 7 update for 64 bit? However, when i try and follow the instructions on the Java site for downloading for 32bit, I get the same problem and same standard page showing me there was a connection problem etc..
I don't know if this is a Firefox problem or an IE one? It won't download on IE either.. and i have checked all the boxes there etc, tried disabling firewall etc..
I see on the Firefox plug ins, something called java tookkit is disabled due to safety and i cannot alter that setting... is that the problem?? I have only basic, laymans pc knowledge...can;'t do complicated stuff, but is there a simple thing i have got wrong here, or is this a well known firefox fault... with this Java? if it is what should i do next?
thanks so much for any help.

A name that elicits terror and awe in others, Pablo Escobar is one of the most infamous figures in history. Based on facts and interviews with those who knew him best, this series tells the life story of the legendary Colombian drug lord. He was born on December 1, 1949, as the third of seven children to a farmer and elementary schoolteacher in a small town near Medellin. His criminal career started as a teenager allegedly stealing gravestones and grew into one of the richest men in the world as the head of the Medellin drug cartel. Before he was famously gunned down at the age of 44 on a rooftop on December 2, 1993, Escobar was believed to have controlled 80 percent of the world's supply of cocaine. Throughout his life, he was one of the most feared men in the world due to his drug trafficking and smuggling, assassinations of political candidates and journalists, bombing, bribery, racketeering, money laundering, and political corruption.

Seaman comes home to surprise family in Clermont County
A Tri-State family gets an early Christmas present and it's what was at the top of the list.
"I miss you guys and I hope you are surprised," Seaman Logan Fields said.
Santa wasn't the only one delivering Christmas surprises at Eastgate Mall as Fields came home to Clermont County.
"Having my son home; It was priceless," father Garret Fields said.
For the family, his safe trip home is a present worth more than money can buy.
Logan has been stationed in Gulfport Mississippi for over a year. His brother and sister didn't believe he would make it home in time for Christmas.
So for the teens, it was clear what they told Santa they wanted wrapped under the tree.
"He was supposed to come home on Monday if he was going to be able to come home," sister Shania Fields said.
He will be in the Tri-State through Christmas. He returns Dec. 30.

Equipment lines
The standard equipment.
Along with all the innovations and comfort features, the highlight of the standard specification of the S-Class is something priceless: presence and charisma. The radiator grille has been completely redesigned to make it even more elegant and delicate in appearance. The struts are painted high-gloss black – a minor detail that gives the car major appeal. The expressive front end is further enhanced by the LED High Performance headlamps, including illuminated "Mercedes-Benz" lettering.
The AMG Line.
The AMG Line introduces an exclusive touch of motorsport to the new S-Class. The AMG bodystyling comprises discreetly powerful front and rear aprons, as well as side sill panels, that make the vehicle appear to sit lower on the road. The even sportier AMG Line Plus welcomes its occupants into AMG sports seats in nappa leather. Automotive enthusiasts will particularly welcome the enhanced portfolio of AMG wheels, featuring new designs that perfectly complement the S-Class's ambition to lead.
The Exclusive package.
The stylishly coordinated combination of high-quality appointments meets the highest expectations with regard to comfort, quality and design. Generous use of Exclusive nappa leather and large areas of wood trim enhance the exclusivity of the interior. The effect is heightened by other fine details such as the illuminated door sill panels with "Mercedes-Benz" lettering, the stainless-steel boot sill and the roof liner and sun visors, which are trimmed in elegant DINAMICA microfibre.
Exclusive designo trim and leather appointments add a major element of personality to the interior and testify to the superb craftsmanship that has gone into the car. New trim options include designo open-pore ash wood in black or brown. A new, somewhat avant-garde highlight among the upholstery options is the designo Exclusive semi-aniline leather in the colour combination silk beige/deep-sea blue.
Touch control steering wheel.
The 3-spoke multifunction sports steering wheel in black nappa leather, with flattened bottom section, heavily embossed in grip area, with steering wheel gearshift paddles and steering wheel trim in galvanised silver chrome, has a Touch Control button and 4 function keys in each of the left and right control pads.
Ambient lighting.
The 64-colour ambient lighting showcases the interior like a work of art, particularly at night. Its ten colour schemes emphasise the technical, modern atmosphere and structure the space. In dynamic mode, the colours even alternate. When the climate control temperature is increased or decreased, the ambient lighting temporarily changes colour (red or blue) to indicate the temperature change.
Rear Seat Comfort package.
The best possible seating comfort on the outer rear seats is ensured by multicontour seats, which incorporate inflatable air chambers for even more individual adjustment. That is why they are recommended by AGR, a German spinal health organisation. The ENERGIZING massage function enhances the sense of well-being - also using heat based on the relaxing hot-stone principle. The rear passengers are able to adjust the air chambers in the lumbar and shoulder areas individually to suit their personal physique.
MAGIC SKY CONTROL creates an open-air feeling at the push of a button. The 2-section panoramic sliding sunroof changes from dark to transparent or vice versa within a few seconds. The transparency of the two sections of the roof can be changed independently for each section. In its tinted state, it substantially reduces heating-up of the vehicle interior. MAGIC SKY CONTROL is activated via a switch in the overhead control panel.
Audio & entertainment
Wireless charging.
Mobile phones can be charged as standard wirelessly and without a telephone holder, simply place down and charge Wireless charging works with all mobile devices that support or can be retrofitted to support the Qi standard. The charging pad is integrated into the stowage compartment at the front of the centre console. Wireless charging is optionally also available in the centre console in the rear.
Burmester® high-end 3D surround sound.
26 specially designed speakers, 28 amplifier channels with a total system output of 1590 watts, as well as technologies developed exclusively for the vehicle, ensure an extraordinarily expressive and intriguing 3D sound – the Burmester® "feel-good sound". With the 3D surround sound system, passengers are able to experience and enjoy a 3D reproduction of mono, stereo and 5.1 music signals in the vehicle.
Driving Assistance package.
This combination of complementary safety and assistance systems can help to relieve driver strain, reduce the risk of accidents and improve protection for both the occupants and other road users, within the limits of the respective systems. Assistance is provided with controlling the distance and speed, as well as with steering, among other things. The package includes; Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active steering assist, Active Braking Assist, Evasive Steering Assist and PRE-SAFE® PLUS.
PRE-SAFE® Sound.
It takes just a split second for a car accident to completely change a person's life. Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE® can help to minimize the damage. Once the vehicle's sensors have detected that a collision is unavoidable, a comprehensive system of safety features are activated within the short time that remains before the impact occurs.
Night View Assist Plus.
Only 20% of road traffic is at night-time, but 40% of all fatal accidents occur during this period. Night View Assist Plus enables drivers to detect pedestrians or larger animals sooner in the dark. They are clearly highlighted in the cockpit display. To do this the system illuminates the road ahead with two anti-dazzle infrared lamps. With the help of an infrared camera located behind the windscreen, the entire area within high-beam headlamp range is shown as a crystal-clear greyscale image. A thermal imaging camera in the radiator grille is able to give a precise warning.

If you are wanting to improve areas of your lives that you have been working on for a while without getting the results you want or simply want to acquire a new set of skills you can use in your Energists Business, then Energy Coach Professional is the training for you.
Come and join me Jorge Vence, the co-creator of Energy Coach Professional.
Silvia Hartmann and I understood that there was room for something new and dynamic and energy fuel, it was then we had the realisation that we didn't have a practitioner-based coaching programme or technique to work with +5 and beyond clients, these are clients that already get Energy work and they also understand they can achieve and do more and in order to do so engaging with an Energy Coach is their next step.
The feedback from some of the graduate Energists from this training have been so positive and encouraging, it has surpassed their expectations and they can already see the immense value this training is adding to their existing tools.
In my personal case, I have learned to be more Energy-focused, rich and abundant AND that my "main" role in the coaching journey is to ensure that my client gets to their goal and their +10, by doing so and being extraordinary and outstanding I am giving myself the gift of success too, I get to be extraordinary and outstanding too, it is a real winner.
During the training with me, you get to learn the material as it is executed live with clients and I like to contribute to my students by coaching them out of behaviours and/or negative thoughts they have, my job is not only to train, it is to enhance you and you help you grow into the better version of yourself, the version you already know is there.
There are only 4 units in this training and each one of them takes you closer to your +10, where you go from one AHA moment to the next and evolve at the same time.
The units are:
1. The Champion
2. The Coaching Process
3. Achieving Success
4. The Modern Energy Coach
Also, as my gift you as a graduate of the ECP, you will get my ongoing support and mentoring, because I believe once you train with me you are my student for life!
For more information contact me now on 07914016397, visit my website www.lifecoachsouthampton.co.uk, www.eft-training-uk.co.uk or let's have a brief chat on skype (jorgepan83).

Thank you to Silvia Hartmann and Jorge Vence as well as my Trainer Sandra Hillawi for a fantastic course. I'm so glad I did this training as after some deliberation (as I'm already a trained coach) I decided to go for it, knowing just how good all the G.O.E courses are. I'm very happy to say that yet again this is a +10 course and adds the missing part to coaching...Energy!
Highly recommend it to anyone.
Kelly Mayne GoE Energist Trainer
I want to say a massive thank you Sandra (Hillawi) for a truly incredible day of training for the Modern Energy Coach Professional. It was such an empowering day, with glorious energy expansions and evolution's. I have worked with energy most of my life, in one form or another. But the Energy Coaching took it to a whole new level, beyond anything I thought it could be. I feel like I have been waiting my whole life to experience this approach to using my energy. I nearly wept at how beautiful it is to be able to support people this much in achieving success in reaching their goals and dreams. Thank you Sandra, and thank you Silvia and Jorge for creating this magnificent Coaching course.
Paul Grant, Ireland.
I've been a member of the GoE since 2006 and a trainer since 2008. Learning and growing with the organisation as it has evolved has been such a pleasure. The Professional Energy Coach course completes the range of modern energy courses so that Professional Energists can help people who are on any level of the SUE scale. This course is aimed at working with people who are already on the high end of the scale (+7 and above) much of the time, but who find they can't see a project through to completion or even begin it when their energy drops and stress levels increase.
With modern stress management techniques and the championing of the client and their project, we can help them to plan and follow through on whatever they want to create in their life. On a personal level, I found this course to be mind-expanding and so energising, I was buzzing with positive energy and creative ideas at the end of the day. I also came away with a practical and achievable plan for a project which I'd been procrastinating about.
Sandra Hillawi is a gifted trainer; this is the second course I have taken with her online and the experience has been wonderful on both occasions. Sandra's kindness, compassion and support shine through everything she does. There was plenty of time for personal growth, experiential exercises and illustrative stories from her personal experience. I wholeheartedly recommend training with Sandra, who shines her heart of gold on everything she does. Excellent course, inspiring trainer - definitely a +10 experience!
