Modern Art in the Age of Einstein
328 pp., 7 x 9 in, 56 color illus., 54 b&w illus.

The first book to document how artists of the early twentieth century responded to new scientific conceptions of reality.
In the early twentieth century, influenced by advances in science that included Einstein's theory of relativity and newly powerful microscopic and telescopic lenses, artists were inspired to expand their art—to capture a new metareality that went beyond human perception into unseen dimensions. In 1936, the Hungarian poet Charles Sirató authored the Dimensionist Manifesto, signaling a new movement that called on artists to transcend "all the old borders and barriers of the arts." The manifesto was the first attempt to systematize the mass of changes that we now call modern art, and was endorsed by an impressive array of artists, including Jean Arp, Alexander Calder, Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, César Domela, Marcel Duchamp, Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miró, László Moholy-Nagy, Ben Nicholson, Enrico Prampolini, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Dimensionism is the first book in English to explore how these and other "Dimensionists" responded to the scientific breakthroughs of their era.
The book, which accompanies a traveling exhibition, reproduces works by the manifesto's initial endorsers and by such artists as Georges Braque, Joseph Cornell, Helen Lundeberg, Man Ray, Herbert Matter, Isamu Noguchi, Pablo Picasso, Kay Sage, Patrick Sullivan, and Dorothea Tanning. It also offers essays by prominent art historians that examine Sirató's now almost-forgotten text and the artists who searched for a means of expression that obliterated old conceptions and parameters. Appearing for the first time in English is Sirató's own "History of the Dimensionist Manifesto," written in 1966. The book brings aa long-forgotten voice and text back into circulation.

Vanja V. Malloy's illuminating assembly of works related to the Dimensionist Manifesto (1936) brings long-neglected texts by the Hungarian poet and art theorist Charles Tamko Sirató to art historical attention. Sirató's writings inspired many of the historical European avant-garde of poetry, painting, and sculpture, artists who were equally committed to the fusion of the arts with physics, biology, mathematics, and engineering. With an elegant and thoughtful introduction and fine essay by Malloy, and equally impressive scholarly essays by Linda Dalrymple Henderson, Oliver A. I. Botar, and Gavin Parkinson, this exciting volume makes a unique contribution to understanding how the modernist avant-garde united visual and textual discourses ranging from cubism and quantum mechanics to the fourth dimension. In this outstanding study, Malloy has brought readers an exciting, accessible account of long-forgotten aspects of the avant-garde that anticipated the unity of art and science today.
Kristine Stiles, France Family Professor of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies, Duke University
Dimensionism explores how a profusion of groundbreaking scientific discoveries impacted the course of 20th-century art and art history. This superb publication brings to light the little-known 1936 Dimensionist Manifesto, which declared that artists should strive to respond to the scientific revolutions going on around them. It is a remarkable window onto an historical moment of encounter among artists, providing new insights into the work and ideas of a number of well-known modernists by illuminating their highly self-conscious responses to the rapidly changing conceptions of the material world and their agency within it.
Michael R. Taylor, Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Art and Education, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Dimensionism is a superb contribution to the field of modernism, aligning concurrent developments in science and aesthetics. It is a well-known fact that, a century ago, the theories of Albert Einstein and others in the fields of quantum physics, biology, and astronomy altered perceptions of the world and the cosmos beyond. Less well known is the impact of these developments on the little-known 1936 Dimensionist Manifesto issued by Hungarian poet Charles Sirató, and the influence this document had on Pan-European and American artists during the first half of the twentieth century.
Ilene Susan Fort, Curator Emerita, Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Dimensionism, the companion catalogue to an exhibition of the same name produced by Amherst College's Mead Art Museum, provides a comprehensive assessment of an important but overlooked effort to reconcile into a 'single common law' the ideals of modernist art and a reality of relativity and uncertainty as described in quantum physics.

10 Bible Verses about Covetousness, Results In
Most Relevant Verses
A faithful man will abound with blessings,
But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
They covet fields and then seize them,
And houses, and take them away.
They rob a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.
But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
He said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'" Naaman said, "Be pleased to take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags with two changes of clothes and gave them to two of his servants; and they carried them before him. When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and deposited them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed.read more.
But he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, "Where have you been, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant went nowhere."
But they lie in wait for their own blood;
They ambush their own lives.
So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence;
It takes away the life of its possessors.
In you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and profits, and you have injured your neighbors for gain by oppression, and you have forgotten Me," declares the Lord God.
when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it."
A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth
And does not know that want will come upon him.
He who profits illicitly troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.

- There is a lot of great information at this conference, but don't worry if you miss something! All talks are recorded and videos will be published shortly after the conference, so you can review them later.
Asking questions¶
To attend the moderated Q&A after each talk, go to Sessions and select the Q&A session.
- Enter your questions into the Chat channel (always on the right-hand side of any page) prefixed with "Q:", and the moderator will ask the speaker for you.
- Make sure the Session toggle is on for the Chat, so your question will be seen by the moderator.
- Due to time constraints, we might not be able to get to all of your questions. If your question isn't asked live, chat with the speaker later and make a connection!
Participate in the conference¶
The schedule is built around sessions. Almost all of the in-person interactions you'll have at the virtual conference will be through sessions. Learn how to find and participate in sessions, and use these lessons for attending Writing Day, Unconference, Job Fair, and Monday night Social events.
Find events to participate in¶
- You can view the schedule on the Reception page. You can also browse a list of events by selecting Sessions.
- When you select an event in the schedule, like a Writing Day or Unconference session, you are directed to the Sessions page.
- Once you are on the Sessions page, select the session you want to attend.
Join an event¶
- Once you select a session, you can either view the session and use the Chat, or select Share Audio and Video to participate in the session. Sessions are limited to 20 active participants, but anyone can join and view the session.
Helpful settings¶
- Select the Video Camera icon to turn off your video.
- Select the Monitor icon to share your screen. Multiple people can share their screens at once.
- To make someone's screen larger, double-click on it.
- Select the Settings icon to change your audio or video settings.
- The unconference is a set of informal sessions that take place in the second half of both days (Thursday and Friday). Unconference talks focus on conversations and exchanges of ideas between participants.
- You can attend unconference sessions, or, if you have an idea for a session, you can lead one.
Lead an unconference session¶
- Anyone can lead an unconference session, as long as they have a discussion idea and a willingness to encourage attendees to talk about it.
- Look for an empty slot in the unconference signup sheet and add your unconference topic. There's a time and a table number for each slot.
- When it's time for your unconference session to begin, go to Sessions in Hopin (our conference platform) and select the session that corresponds to your table number.
- The previous unconference session will be in the same table. Let the attendees of the previous session know that their time is up, and your session will begin soon.
- Once a group has entered your session, start the conversation!
- When the unconference leader for the next session enters the session, finish up your discussion to make way for the next one.
Tips for your unconference session¶
- Avoid doing roundtable introductions. You might run out of time to actually start the conversation!
- Start the session with a prompt: think of a question that you have about the topic of your unconference and ask it. The conversation typically works itself out after that. If there's a lull, ask the group if anyone else has a question to ask.
- Up to 20 people can join the session with audio and video, but more people may join your unconference through chat. Be sure to check the session chat regularly and include people there in the conversation.
- Be on the lookout for people who aren't joining in and invite them to speak. Don't insist, if they make it clear they want to listen only.
Join an unconference session¶
- Starting Thursday afternoon, check the unconference schedule to see if there are any sessions you are interested in joining. New ones are added all the time, so check back periodically.
- At the time the session starts, go to the Sessions tab in Hopin (our unconference platform) and select the session with the table number that corresponds to the one in the unconference schedule.
- The session leader will start the session when the group has gathered.
Lightning talks¶
- A Lightning Talk is a five-minute talk where you quickly share a concept or bit of info you find interesting. Lightning talks are a great way to practice public speaking, get people excited about your Unconference session, and test interest in a conference proposal idea.
- If you are interested in giving a lightning talk, be prepared! There is a great guide here.
- Watch the conference chat and Reception for an announcement that Lightning Talk sign-ups have opened and for directions on how to sign up.
- If you are selected to speak, one of the Organisers will contact you with more information.
Sponsor booths¶
Select Expo to view Sponsor booths. Sponsors might have videos you can watch, information to review on the Booth tab, and people you can talk to on the Chat tab. Visiting Sponsor booths is a great way to make connections!
Add info to your profile¶
To add information about yourself to your conference profile, select your initials > Edit Profile. Share as much as you are comfortable.
Important: Any info you add to your profile can be seen by everyone attending the conference. All conversations should adhere to the Write the Docs Code of Conduct.
Reach out to attendees¶
There are several ways to network using the virtual conference platform:
Direct message Chat¶
- You can direct message attendees by finding them on the People tab.
- To filter for Organisers or Speakers, select the Filter icon.
- You can toggle between viewing People (a list of attendees) and Messages (a list of the messages you sent and received).
Event and conference-wide Chat¶
- When you chat on any of the main pages (Reception, Sessions, Networking, and Expo, you are chatting the entire conference.
- When you attend a Session, view the main Stage, or visit an Expo booth, you'll see a toggle for switching between conference-wide chat and event chat. When you select Event, you are chatting the entire conference. To chat just your session, toggle on the Session or Booth chat.
Hallway sessions¶
Under Sessions you'll find one or more hallway sessions, for casually talking with other attendees. You can join with your own audio and video, or chat only.
Here's some icebreakers:
- What are you reading for fun right now?
- Have you found a website that makes you happy during social isolation?

- You can start a 1:1 video chat with one person and then send the link to up to two other people, to start a 4-person video chat.
- This is a great way to continue a conversation that started in an Unconference or Hallway session.
Pro tips¶
- Conferences are exhilarating, but can also be exhausting. Give your brain a break! Grab a quiet spot or take a quick walk. Play a board game on your lunch break. Come back invigorated.
- Find out who is attending the conference before you attend. Join the Write the Docs Slack, follow the Write the Docs on Twitter, and review the list of speakers.
- In case of technical issues with our main platform Hopin, please watch the #wtd-conferences Slack channel for status updates and alternative viewing links that might be posted.


text: We know that the NBA lockout is causing a stir and quite a ripple effect- highlighted most clearly by Brandon Jennings' searching for a gig with Foot Locker. It appears as though the star point guard has landed such a stint. Tomorrow, Jennings will be on hand at the Foot Locker in Milwaukee's Mayfair Mall (2500 N. Mayfair Road) from 6:00-7:30PM to help unveil the Under Armour Micro G Bloodline. In case you aren't able to make it out there and would still like to purchase a pair, then you can still head to the online store as well as other retailers for a shot at them.

Spurs announced Manu "Damaged Goods" Ginobili will be out for the remainder of the Spurs season. Spurs Front Office really need to think about how whether it's worth resigning him with his injury plagued season.
The San Antonio Spurs today announced that guard Manu Ginobili will miss the remainder of the 2008-09 regular season as well as the 2009 NBA Playoffs.
Ginobili felt stiffness in his lower right leg during the Spurs-Cavaliers game in Cleveland on Sunday afternoon. Following the game he returned to San Antonio. Earlier today, in San Antonio, he underwent a CT scan and an MRI. The examinations showed an increased marrow edema and a stress fracture in his right distal fibula.

Are there Differences in Ethnic Majority and Minority Adolescents' Friendship Preferences and Social Influence with Regard to their Academic Achievement?
Research has established that adolescents both befriend peers based on their academic achievement and adjust their own achievement to that of their friends' over time. However, these processes may be different for ethnic minority students, because some of them may adhere to an oppositional culture that rejects striving for academic success. We examine respective differences between self-identified ethnic minority and majority students using longitudinal social network analysis (stochastic actor-oriented models) in a sample of 1175 students (aged 13) from 12 grade-level networks in Germany secondary schools. Among the students, we find that academically successful students in particular prefer friends with high grades, but that students with poor grades exert more social influence on their friends to adjust their performance. Moreover, while minority students are indeed less inclined to select friends with higher grades, both ethnic majority and minority youth prefer friends with similar academic achievement and are similarly influenced by their friends' achievement. However, social influence is stronger from same-ethnic than from inter-ethnic friends. In sum, there is mixed evidence for an oppositional culture among ethnic minority students in our sample.

At first glance, You Should Have Left seems to be a by-the-book haunted house movie. It certainly checks plenty of the boxes: the isolated and mysterious vacation home, the precocious child in tune with the supernatural, the sinister presence that grows more and more tangible. But writer/director David Koepp has more on his mind than weaving a workmanlike horror yarn, attempting – with varying degrees of success – to add a more serious dramatic element to the proceedings.

Harbour Rocks Hotel: A great history
By the centennial of Sydney's European settlement, the young city had evolved from an ungated gaol to a vibrant port city. Local commerce and trade were thriving in the British Empire's most remote land that had been born as a penal colony. When the city's first hospital relocated in 1816 from a block in the Rocks to a new home in Macquarie Street, the next seventy years saw the site become a quarry and then a slum of 10 houses (from 1854-1886). Shortly after this the land on which it had stood was purchased by a local lawyer named George Evans. It's bricks and sandstones, houses over a century of local history in its walls, known today as the Harbour Rocks Hotel. If only those stones could talk!
It was the year 1887 and Sydney had all but left behind its origins as a penal settlement, instead thriving as an independent city with local trade and commerce flourishing. With the continuing influx of settlers from around the world and the increase in trade, Evans commissioned the building of his four-storey structure that could be divided into four equal sections in order to make leasing out the building to multiple tenants easier. Even today, the work of the tradesmen can be seen firsthand with the markings in the sandstone a record of their work and craftsmanship.
Known as the Evans Stores, the stores profited from their ideal location in the centre of the city's original township and just a stone's throw from the entry port to the city for new arrivals from overseas. Tales of love and romance in the new city, of betrayal and heartbreak and of hope and optimism for a new life in the new world can almost be felt as you walk the corridors today.
As Sydney expanded in the decades following and new importing, exporting and manufacture precincts emerged around the city, the popularity of the Evans Stores declined and by the mid twentieth century, the main building had sadly fallen into a state of disrepair. In 1973 a local art collective known as the John Ogburn Studio Club proposed that they be allowed to take up residence in the first floor of the building, by this time all but deserted. Renamed the Harrington Street Gallery, it became the home of many local artists, a haven in which they could develop and promote their talents to the city around them.
The ambitious plan to revive Sydney's oldest precinct began in the 1960s. In 1989 the original boutique hotel transformation was christened Tara Hotel. The Harbour Rocks Hotel name change came later. As part of the redesign, many of the original architectural features were covered over, hiding the historic structure from view. Now, as the result of an extensive refurbishment, the original structure can once again be enjoyed, with the interiors pared back to reveal the original brickwork, sandstone and beams. The building is enhanced with all its significant features in a new and contemporary design. The characters that walked the big open spaces and the significance of the surrounding area can be seen with every turn.
Bustling with shops, museums, art galleries and pubs, the surrounding area has remained a popular choice for visitors to Sydney seeking to immerse themselves in the early history of the city. Despite being a tourism destination visited by an estimated 13 million people annually, The Rocks retains the air of an intimate village, due in part to the architectural gems like the Harbour Rocks Hotel that still remain today.

- Replace worn or faded door handles and locks.
- Install a brass kick plate at the bottom of the door.
- Clean the exterior door frame. Make it shine.
These may seem like little things. But they can make a big difference to the first impression your house makes on potential buyers.
It is often said that first impressions make the most impact. This is true not only when you meet a person for the first time, but it's also true when you first step into new surroundings.
Anchor your entry
Stepping into your home, let's anchor your entry first with a colorful area rug. Although the size and shape of your foyer must be considered, in most entrances a round shape will look the best. This makes the entry look more inviting, and will add color and softness.
For larger foyers, a round or octagonal table on top of your vivid carpet centers your entry. Glass top tables with an interesting wrought iron base is a good choice, since the transparency of the table takes up less esthetic space and shows off your carpet.
For that final dramatic effect, display a floral arrangement that adds height to the foyer and will lead the eye upwards to a sparkling chandelier hanging over the floral arrangement.

Solar by the Numbers
How much electricity do households typically use?
- Electricity consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) – the number of kW used per hour – and varies significantly between households, depending on the building's size, appliances, heating and cooling systems, shading from trees and other buildings, and many other factors. On average, residences in Colorado use approximately 9,000 kWh per year.
- Energy use information can be found on the U.S. Energy Information Administration or may be available through a local installer.
How much electricity does a solar PV system produce in a year?
- The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's PVWatts Calculator can be used by homeowners and business owners to estimate the annual solar electricity production of a solar installation in our region.
- An average installed PV system of 6.0 kW would produce about 8,527 kWh per year in Routt County.
Solar System Costs vs. Savings
- The costs associated with a solar PV system depends on many factors, including available incentives, the size of your installation, the type of PV panels used, and the pitch of your roof.
- As of April 2020, the cost of the average residential or rooftop solar installation in Routt County for a 6.0 kW system is $17,230 ($2.87 per watt), which is lower than the current U.S. average of $3.36 per watt. Find more estimates of system costs in your area using Solar Reviews.
- The amount of savings generated by a solar system depends on additional factors, such as local energy prices, building and appliance energy consumption, and whether the building owner purchases or leases the solar system. The net monthly energy savings provided by the average residential or rooftop solar installation in Routt County is about $72. Use the EnergySage Solar Calculator to explore your potential savings.
What is net metering?
- Net metering is a method for measuring your solar system's energy production and directly crediting your electricity bill with the value of your solar system's excess energy. Net metering allows utilities to compensate you for any energy that you do not use in your home and instead add to the grid. Learn more about net metering policies through Yampa Valley Electric Association.

The absolute best tasting whey protein. The horchata flavor
Perfect material and it is good for working out in. I was so happy with how fast it came in!
I absolutely LOVE IT!! It's extremely comfortable, versatile, and stylish. I couldn't be happier!
I highly recommend this product, especially if you tend to lift often or heavy. It has definitely saved me from sore muscles. It is also very convenient and it doesn't affect the taste of protein shakes or when added to water.
I use this just as their website describes, a pick-me-up and recovery. The flavor is DELICIOUS, seriously. I'm still figuring out how to exactly interchange it with my Energy+ Pre-Workout so we'll see. It's not as strong as their pre-workout, but I use it instead of a second (or third) cup of coffee. Will report back once I use it more, but so far so good.

The Lamiaceae are mostly herbs or shrubs comprising about 200 genera and 3,200 species, commonly with aromatic, herbage, quadrangular stems, and verticillate inflorescences. The leaves are opposite or whorled, and are simple or occasionally pinnately compound; stipules are absent. The flowers are bisexual and zygomorphic. The calyx is synsepalous, typically 5-merous, sometimes 2-lipped, and usually has 5-15 conspicuous ribs. The corolla is sympetalous and typically bilabiate with 2 lobes forming an upper lip and 3 lobes forming a lower lip. The androecium consists of either 4 didynamous stamens or only two stamens that are adnate to the corolla tube or perigynous zone, alternate with the lobes. The gynoecium consists of a single compound ovary of 2 carpels, a single gynobasic style, and a deeply 4-lobed superior ovary with 4 apparent locules (by intrusion of the ovary wall), each with a single basal-axile ovule. A hypogynous, often asymmetric nectariferous disk is generally present between the stamens and ovary. The fruit consists of four 1-seeded nutlets that rarely may be fleshy and drupaceous.

Surpassing the maximum permissible weight of a vehicle is not just a danger for the passengers and driver but also for the road users. Above all, it is an illegitimate offence which carries a wide array of penalties and risks from sentences of imprisonment to fixed fines. As there is an increase in the number of prohibition notices, there are also numerous articles on the web which speak about the overloading issue and how drivers can overcome it. The National Department of Transport has declared overloading as both a cost and safety concern.
Although there is an onboard weighing system which has become popular after they've taken away all the guesswork from the drivers regarding the weight that they're carrying onboard their vehicle, yet there are many who are yet to adopt these machines. The concerns of this post will tell you about how you can overcome overloading issues and penalties.
The potential risks which are increased due to overloading
Overloaded vehicles, whether a car or a truck or a forklift, threaten the safety at roads and this leads to numerous fatal accidents. It has to be noted that an overloaded vehicle not just puts the driver at risk but also the users and the other passengers. Here are few risks that you may take into account.
- When the vehicle is overloaded, the vehicle will become difficult to steer, it will be less stable and it will also take a longer time to stop during any emergency. When you cross the maximum weight, different vehicles tend to react differently.
- When the vehicle is overloaded, the tyres can get overheated and they can wear rapidly. This boosts the chance of premature blow-outs and costly failures which should be avoided.
- The operating space and control of the driver within an overloaded vehicle will be diminished and this will increase chances of an accident.
- Overloaded vehicles find it difficult to accelerate at a normal pace thereby making it tough for them to overtake.
- Since overloading is illegal, the insurance cover can be nullified.
- During the night, the headlights of the overloaded vehicle will move up and this can blind the drivers who are approaching and can become an obstruction.
- There is enough stress at the suspension system and due to this; the weakest point will give way.
- The maintenance costs of the vehicle will become higher and the tyres, shock absorbers, brakes will all suffer from wear and tear.
Combat overloading
In accordance with the traffic authorities, the Department of Transport had addressed the issue of overloaded vehicles. They have adopted a strategy which covers the issues of self-regulation by the freight industry, training, funding and operational problems. The Road Traffic Act also takes into account these issues.
Therefore, whenever you're worrying about overloading and the prospective dangers, you should consider the above listed points. Avoid overloading in order to stay safe while driving your vehicle on road.

Here on Carefree & Coffee we've firmly agreed that there's no such thing as too many shoes.
It's been driving me CRAZY only having space in the rental for a small section of shoes. I've been trying to swap them out season to season but it's not enough! And I wear booties like year round so they're always out and there's never ever enough room. But….the framing in my new house is almost complete! Including my office which is going to have a massive wall for all my shoes and purses!!! I stood and stared in awe at the framework for like 5 minutes the other day after getting SUPER annoyed that morning at not being able to find a pair of slides I really wanted to wear😂. Moving in is going to be like Christmas and a shopping spree all at once as I find everything that's been packed away for the last year.
Spring is the perfect time to give your shoe collection a once over and figure out what you're going to need once the sun comes out. But you don't have to break the bank to get some new fun styles! Or maybe there's a style you know you're going to wear ALL THE TIME, and it's worth the splurge.
PS. As I was putting this together I realized a bunch of my 'splurges' were Sam Edelman. Oops. I prefer to give you all variety but here's the thing: the few pairs of shoes I personally have splurged on have all been Sam Edelman's. I TRUST the brand for style, sturdiness, and most importantly comfort. If you're going to splurge the shoes need to last both on your feet all day and more than one season. I KNOW Sam Edelman does that so I'm not changing the styles I found because I know I can stand behind them!
Black Studded Sandals
Save: Steve Madden Kady Gladiator ($59.99)
Splurge: Sam Edelman Eavan Studded Sandal($139.95)
Studs were SO big a couple years ago, then they went away but I guess know they're back?? It's not a style I've ever really loved but pairing it with a black gladiator sandal is a fun way to spice up a sorta basic shoe. This shoe style is very good for casual spring & summer everyday wear!!
Silver Buckle Slides
Save: Birkenstock Arizona Essentials Slide ($44.99)
Splurge: Birkenstock Big Buckle Slide ($139.95)
I got onto the slides train two years ago and NEVER LOOKED BACK. This one's super interesting because it's the same brand with the big price swing. The style's more different then most pairs I try to find but it shoes you that Birkenstock can do it all. (maybe I'm the only one who thinks that's interesting😅)
Brown Strappy Block Heel Sandals
Save: Kelly & Katie Daton Sandal ($44.99)
Splurge: Sarto by Franco Sarto Rache Sandal ($129.95)
Block heels are the absolute BEST for a sandal that's both nice and comfortably. It's cute and dressy but you'll survive a longer day in them. Brown's never been my favorite for anything but I'm obsessed with this Kelly & Katie pair!!
Black Mule
Save: Restricted Deco Mule ($44.99)
Splurge: Sam Edelman Natalya Mule ($99.95)
Mules are not something I'm getting on board with but judging by Instagram I'm the only one lol. Black is the perfect staple color, especially for a pair of shoes you can just slide on and go. I really love the woven detail in both of these pairs though that add a little texture.
Pink Ankle Strap Heel
Save: Marc Fisher Toria Sandal ($59.99)
Splurge: Sam Edelman Yaro Ankle Strap Sandal ($99.95)
I own the Sam Edelman Yaro in nude and LOVE LOVE LOVE them. They're my go to for most of the ~fancier~ events in life. Pink though is such a great choice for Spring!! I feel like we've firmly brought any and all pinks back into the fold and can wear them brightly with pride so go forth in your hot pink heels!
White Low-Top Sneaker
Save: Puma Vikky V2 Sneaker ($49.99)
Splurge: Sam Edelman Ethyl Low Top Sneaker ($99.95)
A solid white sneaker is a shoe you can never go wrong with. White shoes can be scary when you're wearing them for like, real life. Here's my tip though, Magic Erasers will clean them in a snap! I swear by this trick not just for my all white shoes but also any shoe with a white bottom/sole.
Snakeskin Bootie
Save: Fergalicious Charley Bootie ($49.99)
Splurge: Vince Camuto Gigietta Bootie ($149.95)
You cannot and will not get me to stop wearing booties year round. Sorry not sorry. Snakeskin is such a fun way to make a bootie stand out without making it lose it's neutral-ness. (That's not a word at all🙈) The Gigietta bootie was EVERYWHERE last year, and I just couldn't justify the price. These days you can find it on sale more and more though so if you are interested keep an eye on it!
Make sure to follow me on social media so you don't miss a thing!

NAT not working but HAProxy is.
Hi all,
I have a pfsense installation v2.4.4, which has a single WAN with 8 additional IPv4 addresses on top of the normal IPv4 address for the WAN. It also has 4 LAN connections (These are VLANs configured to present as separate ethernet ports).
All of this is running on a virtual machine. I have HAProxy installed and configured to load balance a Galera Cluster without issue, and had at one point setup HAProxy to forward ports from a single virtual IPv4 on the WAN to one of the clients connected to one of the LANs and this worked as expected, with the exception of the IP address presented by the client connecting to the forwarded port being replaced by the pfsense IPv4 address. This caused a few issues, so I deleted the rules from HAProxy and set up NAT based port forwarding to do the same job.
I have applied the rules, restarted the pfsense server, and still the ports don't appear to be being forwarded.
Images of NAT and firewall rules below.
Running netstat -a via the command prompt doesn't show the ports being listened to at all, which would explain why they aren't open to anyone trying to connect, but that shouldn't be happening.
I have been through the port forwarding diagnostics page with no success.
netstat -a running via the command prompt page on the website doesn't return any of the ports selected being listened to for some reason. Which indicates that the ports aren't open or the firewall isn't being respected when it comes to setting up the WAN connection.
Any ideas what I can do?

Calvert Foundation developing impact investing initiative for diaspora communities
Tuesday, July 16, 2013
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation is supporting the first phase of the initiative, a feasibility study, with a $200,000 grant.
"Diaspora populations represent roughly $400 billion in savings, and want to invest in the social and economic development of their countries of origin," said Calvert Foundation Chief Strategy Officer Jennifer Pryce. "But many don't have access to the tools to do that. With support from the Kellogg Foundation, we will explore U.S. diaspora populations' potential to invest in their home countries through our Community Investment Note."
The Initiative will focus on directing investment raised through Community Investment Notes to projects and organizations in targeted countries working to improve social and economic conditions. People will be able to invest as little as $20 online to support economic development opportunities that generate social, environmental, and financial returns.

The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science (James H. Silberman Books)
A very inspiring book.
It was assumed in the past that the brain is like a machine. It was supposed to have specialized centers with fixed locations. It was assumed that only in early infancy, in specific critical periods, the brain is plastic and can change. Therefore, until recently, conventional wisdom held that if functionality was lost through brain damage the loss was irrevocable. Most forms of neurological disorder were considered incurable.
This book's premise is that our brain is more plastic then was previously thought. Given the right stimulus, the brain behaves like a living organism. It can be trained; it can change structure, compensate and adjust for a disability; it can even recover functions and develop new functions in adulthood.
Each chapter describes a different method that was used to successfully overcome a neurological induced disability, from inborn learning disability, to stoke and traumatic brain injury. This description is done through detailed case histories and interviews. The methods used range anywhere from complex machines to software to prescribed exercises.
Since neurology and psychiatry are closely intertwined, the book deals with some psychiatric disorders such as as Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD), sexual addiction, and depression. I believe that the principles outlined in this book can and will be used in the future to treat more mental health disorder disorders and enable people to recover.

As usual, Prophet TB Joshua, the leader of Synagogue, Church of All Nations has revealed that he warned Coach Stephen Keshi to ensure that the Super Eagles did not concede a last minute goal in their AFCON Group C match against Burkina Faso yesterday.
Just as millions of soccer pundits have critisised the Eagles' approach to the match, Keshi's spiritual confidant, Prophet TB Joshua said he spoke to the coach to tighten up his team's rear, especially in the second half. The leader of Synagogue, Church of All Nations, who said the Eagles also disappointed him as a strong fan said: I called and warned Keshi to watch out for that dangerous move by the Burkina Faso strikers".
And due to the fact that many people may not belief in his prediction, TB Joshua supported his claims by making a recorded copy of his conversation with Keshi available to P.M.NEWS.
It will be recalled that the Nigerian team, that scored a first half goal through Emmanuel Emenike, were close to winning their opening match at South Africa 2013 Nations Cup, but lost focus and allowed the Burkinabes equalised barely 10 seconds to the end of the match at Mbombela Stadium.

Antioxidant activities of leaf galls extracts of Terminalia chebula (Gaertn.) Retz. (Combretaceae)
Background. Free radicals are implicated in several metabolic diseases and the antioxidant therapy has gained an utmost importance in the treatment. The medicinal properties of plants have been investigated and explored for their potent antioxidant activities to counteract metabolic disorders. In this study, the chemical composition and free radical scavenging potential of leaf gall extracts (ethanol, petroleum ether, chloroform and aqueous) of Terminelia chebula is evaluated, which is extensively used in the preparation of traditiona medications to treat various metabolic diseases.
Material and methods. The presences of phenolics, flavonoids, triterpens, saponins, glycosides, phytosterols, reducing sugars were identified in the extracts according to standard procedures. The free radical scavenging activities of the extract were also analysed by standard procedures.
Results. The methanol extract had the highest total phenolic and flavonoid content. The antioxidant activities of leaf gall extracts were examined using diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Super oxide radical scavenging, Hydroxyl scavenging and ferric reducing power (FRAP) methods. In all the methods, the ethanolic extract showed higher free radical scavenging potential than all the other extracts.
Conclusion. As the higher content of both total phenolics and flavonoids were found in the ethanolic extract, so the significantly high antioxidant activity can be positively correlated to the high content of total polyphenols/flavonoids of the ethanol extract. The results of this study confirm the folklore use of T. chebula leaves gall extracts as a natural antioxidant and justify its ethnobotanical use. Further, the results of antioxidant properties encourage the use of T. chebula leave gall extracts for medicinal health, functional food and nutraceutical applications.

Hopefully one day there'll be some answers for her poor daughter.ReplyDelete
I really think that they need to find Patti Collins--I think that they had the wrong one on the 48 Hours special. And it would not hurt to reinterview Rudy Mazzella's wife for information on what exactly Christa had stored in their house and if there was a beef between her husband and Christa.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the update, Steven. I wonder what that evidence was. I guess there is a good chance that the person or persons who killed Christa did not necessarily get their DNA on her, or at least not under the fingernail clippings that were tested. I wonder if any DNA can be found on the jumpsuit or jewelry that has been saved.ReplyDelete
I wonder how they will proceed now! Is it possible that the killer's DNA could not be under her nails. What if the killer or killers put gloves on?ReplyDelete
Are their any updates on this case? Last I heard they stated they didn't know if they had the right Patti, and her DNA wasn't a match. Thanks.ReplyDelete

Completed in July of 2016, the UBCH Koerner Pavilion MDRD project (Medical Device Reprocessing Department) involved the renovation of 3 distinct areas within the MDRD area and required a phased approach to the construction and completion timing in order to maintain operation of the critical MDRD functions. The alterations focused mainly on the replacement of the main cart washer, 3 instrument washers and pass-through but also included relocation of the MDRD office and the rough-in for a new Rotomat storage unit. The sterilization equipment was replaced in an enlarged rough-in clean/dirty demarcation wall and enlarged floor pit that suited the increased dimensional requirements of the new equipment.

This is part of what makes the band's position on the music scene absolutely unrivaled, thus giving Armia the title of one of the most original modern bands that can't be classified into any genre.
The DVD features a 10-song TV performance based on their Triodante release. The DVD also includes band interviews (in Polish with English subtitles), bonus videos and other special features This is a surprise to both my ears and eyes to experience Armia. I will defiantly check out their discography soon. This is highly recommended to rock and metal fans that like some substance to their music beyond the three chord mundane style plaguing the music world. Also prog fans will enjoy the cinematic value the band portrays musically and visually..

Thurl Ravenscroft
Best known as the affable voice behind Tony the Tiger, TV's popular cartoon pitchman for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes for more than 50 years, Thurl Ravenscroft also lent his distinctive basso tones to a host of Disney characters and the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the popular holiday TV classic " Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!"
Born in Norfolk, Neb., Ravenscroft moved to California in 1933 to study art. By the mid-1930s he was appearing regularly on radio, first on a program titled "Goose Creek Parson," and in the late 1930s, he appeared on the "The Kraft Music Hall" with Bing Crosby, singing backup in a group called the Paul Taylor Choristers. After military service during World War II--he was employed by the War Department as a civilian contract airline pilot. Flew mainly high profile courier missions across the Atlantic and Pacific, among them Bob Hope and Winston Churchhill--he returned to Hollywood, where he sang with the Mellomen, a group that performed with Frank Sinatra, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Elvis Presley.
In 1952, Ravenscroft's voice appeared in the first Frosted Flakes commercial. Kellog's approached Ravenscroft, by then a well-regarded voice artist, with a caricuture of Tony the Tiger, and after some experimentation he came up with the tiger's long-standing tag line: "They're Grrrrreeeat!" His association with Kellog's and the character would continue on a regular basis until the actor's death in 2005.
He also lent his voice to characters on thrill rides at Disneyland since opening day in 1955, including the Pirates of the Caribbean and Splash Mountain. He can be heard daily as Buff, the buffalo head on the Country Bear Jamboree; lead vocalist on the theme song "Grim Grinning Ghosts" in the Haunted Mansion (he is the bust that most people have mistaken as Walt Disney), 'Fritz' the German accent parrot in the Enchanted Tiki Room; narrator on the Disneyland Railroad; on the Columbia Sailing Ship song spiel; as the First Mate on the Mark Twain Steamship and one of the bass voices you hear in the chorus of "It's a Small World." Ravenscroft also did voices for the animated films "Cinderella," "The Jungle Book" (providing the singing voice for George Sander's villainous Shere Khan), "Mary Poppins," "Alice in Wonderland," "Lady and the Tramp," "One Hundred and One Dalmatians," "The Aristocats" and many others. He also sang the theme song for Disney's popular television series "Zorro" (1957-1959)
In 1966, children's book author Dr. Seuss and legendary animation director Chuck Jones teamed up to do "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" for CBS. The success of the Grinch led to other projects with Dr. Seuss, including "Horton Hears a Who" (1970) as one of the Wickersham Brothers, and "The Cat in the Hat" (1971) as Thing 1. His singing career continued into the 1970s as a member of the Johnny Mann Singers singing on 28 albums, appearing on television for three seasons, and performing at the White House. In "Snoopy Come Home" (1972), a feature film based on Charles Schultz's Peanuts characters, he sang the mornful "No Dogs Allowed."
For 20 years, from 1974 until his retirement in 1993, he served as the narrator of the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, the annual celebration of the arts in tableaux vivants, "living pictures" where actual humans posed in lifesize works of famous artists such as Norman Rockwell and Winslow Homer, among others. His vocal readings proved enormously popular with his audiences, and his co-workers dubbed him "the voice of the Pageant" during his tenure there. Ravenscraft also served as the narrator for "The Glory of Christmas" at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California from the early 1980s through the late 1990s.
Late in his career, the actor found yet another memorable animated character when he voiced the titular character Kirby in the popular cartoon "The Brave Little Toaster" (1987) and its subsequent direct-to-video sequels. Living in Fullerton since his retirement, Ravenscroft was 91 years old at the time of his death from prostate cancer.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today filed an emergency action and obtained a temporary restraining order against Telegram and its subsidiary, TON Issuer Inc., halting a token sale that has raised more than $1.7 billion globally since January 2018.
Telegram, a U.K.-based instant messaging platform, sought to finance the creation of the Telegram Open Network (TON) blockchain by selling digital tokens called Grams. The SEC says this represents the sale of an unregistered security.
In filing the emergency action, Steven Peikin, co-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, suggested other tokens could get the same treatment: "We have repeatedly stated that issuers cannot avoid the federal securities laws just by labeling their product a cryptocurrency or a digital token. Telegram seeks to obtain the benefits of a public offering without complying with the long-established disclosure responsibilities designed to protect the investing public."
While regulators have been busy focusing on Libra, it looked like TON might just evade detection despite Telegram's history of riling up governments who dislike how its end-to-end encryption is, allegedly, used by terrorists. But it would have been huge in its own right: Telegram's proposed proof-of-stake network would allow its 300+ million users to make blockchain payments on the messaging platform.
Though the SEC's concerns are with securities, not terrorism, it's not hard to imagine the regulatory nightmare TON raised for governments: Now, terrorists (allegedly) sending secret messages could also send payments.
Today's SEC action gives the project an uncertain future. According to reporting from The New York Times, the network had promised investors it would launch by October 31. If it couldn't deliver the token by then, it vowed to return the $1.7 billion it raised.
It looks like it might be forfeiting those funds one way or another.

Navy's Ken Niumatalolo out after 15 seasons as coach
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Ken Niumatalolo set the bar high for what a military academy could still accomplish in major college football.
The past three seasons at Navy weren't up to that standard.
Niumatalolo is out after 15 seasons at the helm. The academy announced Sunday that he would not return — a day after the Midshipmen lost to Army in double overtime and finished 4-8 for the second straight year. Niumatalolo is the winningest coach in school history at 109-83, but after going 11-2 in 2019, Navy hasn't finished above .500 since.
"Our sincerest gratitude to Coach Ken for what has been a distinguished and impactful legacy at the Naval Academy," athletic director Chet Gladchuk said in a statement. "Navy football flourished for many years under his leadership. He will forever be remembered for the influence he has had on the lives of those who played for him."
Defensive coordinator Brian Newberry was named interim coach. Gladchuk is expected to speak to reporters Monday.
Niumatalolo was hired by Navy before the 2008 season. In the Midshipmen's first two years in the American Athletic Conference, Niumatalolo led the team to a share of an AAC West Division title in 2015 and won the AAC West title outright in 2016. Navy also shared the West title in 2019.
The Midshipmen have gone just 11-23 over the last three seasons and have had one winning season over the last five years. Navy is a combined 4-10 against the other two service academies over the last seven years.
"The Naval Academy will now move forward with continued high ambitions and embrace a new era of reaffirmed expectations for Navy football and our midshipmen," Gladchuk said.
Navy played in 10 bowl games under Niumatalolo. He's the only coach in the Army-Navy rivalry to begin his career with eight straight wins in the series. He also is the only coach in Navy history to win four consecutive bowl games, and he tied a program record by beating Notre Dame three times in his tenure.
Navy was an Independent for 134 years before joining the AAC, and the Midshipmen have gone 36-26 in conference play.
Navy began this season with a loss to FCS Delaware. The Midshipmen notched a big win at Central Florida on Nov. 19, but lost to Army despite allowing only 153 yards of offense.

What's up, everyone?! This is Jasper from HeyDreamer! First off, thanks for checking out the brand new website! It's been quite a while in the making. Today, our new album, If You're Out There, is now streaming on all major platforms. Pick it up and let us know what you think! This first blog post is going to be about the song that started it all. I wanted to give you all some insight on how we wrote it, recorded it, and how it made it onto our album! This whole project started with me writing some instrumentals in my room after work, as I would usually do. One day, Melody and I were hanging out, and she asked if I had written anything new, so I showed her a song that clicked in both of our heads. We knew that this could be something huge! That song was "The Road Not Taken." When we sat down to write and record scratch vocals, the process was incredibly fast, and we finished the song in just under a day. It was one of the first songs that we recorded for this album, and after some studio magic, the song grew into something that neither of us anticipated!
Lyrically, we really wanted to capture how we were both feeling about life, about trying to make a living in the music industry, and about growing older and not wanting to look back with regret. The whole story is about a young man and a young woman chasing their dreams, as well as the hardships that come with that. "She sold her dream...recalled fond memories about days past when she believed." It's like when you're almost to the point of giving up on it all, and then you remember that if you do, you'll regret not giving it your all for the rest of your life. At the time, we were both feeling down about where to go and just feeling a little scared of the world ahead, but we both knew that we wanted to fight for our dreams and not wake up one day feeling like we didn't try our hardest to do whatever we could. From that day on, HeyDreamer came alive, and we won't stop until we're on top of the world. Thanks for dreaming, Dreamers!!!

This weekend, to a wintery backdrop, maritime archaeologists from the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology (ORCA), the University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute and colleagues from SULA Diving continued a high-resolution side scan sonar survey of Scapa Flow.
The project is designed to showcase the significant wreckage of the scrap sites of the German High Seas Fleet and was conducted on behalf of Historic Environment Scotland.
The salvaging of the German High Seas Fleet in the 1920s-40s raised battleships, battlecruisers and destroyers from the seabed scrapping at dockyard sites further south such as Rosyth. Today the remains of these ships and their associated salvage lie on the seabed, continuing to tell the story of the High Seas Fleet in Scapa Flow, and providing an exciting and interesting heritage resource.
Analysis of the sonar data will be undertaken to identify what is present on the seabed and from which ships. Archival research and diver ground truthing are assisting in this phase of the project.
A University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute Side Scan Sonar course is now enrolling for 18th and 19th March. The course is being held in Shetland. More details available from email@example.com

Punk rock's not dead – it's mutating. Many talented artists are seeking solace from the narrow restrictions of mainstream music in experimentation.
This sonic revolution is a rage against the establishment. In "Feminist Sweepstakes," Le Tigre makes unique waves out of its frustration with current standards.
The group, formed by former Bikini Kill front-woman Kathleen Hanna, also includes zine founder Johanna Fateman and international videomaker Sadie Benning. J.D Sawson, Le Tigre's newest addition, aids in Benning's visual contributions, which play a major role in its public persona. "Feminist Sweepstakes" follows the lead of the band's two previous EPs. By melding punk rock sensibility with electronic dance beats, Hanna and crew are able to connect their political and feminist agendas without sacrificing a house-party vibe.
In the tradition of the Riot Grrrl movement of the early 1990s (in which each member played an influential role), the message behind the lyrics on "Sweepstakes" focuses on promoting strong, independent women. Issues ranging from abortion to inequality in the workplace and self-reliance are addressed on one or more of the disc's 12 tracks.
"Well I guess you're the judge in this forever beauty pageant I'm always in," Hanna laments halfway through "On Guard," as she rails against society's objectification of women. The song encourages its listeners to face dissenters head on. "You can look me up and down/ I won't stop, no/I won't fall apart."
Feminism, though certainly a central topic, is not the only issue tackled on this album. "F.Y.R" for example, attacks the hypocrisy of a government that attempts to appease an increasingly dissatisfied public by allowing frustrated movements minor victories without granting any serious long term solutions: "Toss us a few AIDS drugs as national healthcare bites the dust. Can we end title nine for another hate crime?" Strong accusations are tied together by the song's ultimate message as the chorus rages, "Let's name this phenomenon/ It's too dumb to bring us down."
Other tracks such as "LT Tour Theme," "Tres Bien," and "Keep on Livin'," are more celebratory in nature, leaving one to assume that even though there's still much to be done in creating a more open-minded society, we've still come a long way.
Each song is characterized by the repetition of words, heavy alliteration and rally cries accompanied by a singular voice. There's also a frenetic energy permeating this album that contributes to its infectious quality.
This innovative piece of work deserves at least one listen or two, for not only does it impart some wisdom on the art of activism, but it's also laden with a heavy groove. So swallow your conventional pride and hit the dance floor. The roller-skate jams are waiting for you to kick it.

From deserts to steppe grasslands, from mountains to alpine meadows and forests, the region features a complex mix of ecosystems and a confluence of biological realms. This has led to unique endemic species and surprising biodiversity. Afghanistan, for instance, is home to nine wild felids, the same number as all of sub-saharan Africa. The region also contains some of the world's last spectacular migrations and nomadic movements, involving millions of animals, from Mongolian gazelles to saiga to Tibetan antelope.
The region has some of the lowest human population densities on the planet. But threats from extractive industries, particularly mining, the development of roads and railroads that block animal movements, not to mention overgrazing, poaching and climate change, all loom large.
Our Goal
Maintain connectivity for the region's migratory and nomadic wildlife and ensure that entire landscapes continue to function as effective and complete wild places, with the full array of wildlife endemic to the region.
How Will We Get There?
Our strategies include:
- Filling in the knowledge gaps on species and populations with research and long-term monitoring.
- Working with local communities, in coordination with government, to build or enhance new community governance institutions and strengthen capacity to ensure sustainable management of natural resources.
- Providing the science, strategies, and policies to ensure connectivity that permits large-scale wildlife movements across these enormous, last-of-the-wild landscapes.
- Implementing community ranger monitoring, SMART law enforcement, and multi-agency anti-poaching task forces to improve enforcement and combat poaching.
- Collaborating with industry, government, communities, and international lenders and conventions to find 'win-win' solutions—cutting-edge methods to monitor and mitigate development impacts on wildlife and ensure that roads and other infrastructure provide "net positive impacts" in these landscapes.
- Aiding the efforts of communities and government to cope with the impact of climate change and decrease the vulnerability of wildlife.
Why WCS?
1 million-plus
WCS has worked on Mongolian gazelle conservation and management since 1998, conducting ground-breaking ecological and disease research, working on public education, helping to strengthen the country's laws on hunting and wildlife trade, and training Mongolian authorities in enforcement techniques to address the unsustainable and illegal wildlife trade.
70 percent
In Afghanistan, WCS has helped create the country's first two protected areas—Band-e-Amir National Park and Wakhan National Park, which now protects over 70% of the country's snow leopard population.
