Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahlby Steven Bach
I want to become something quite great.
Leni Riefenstahl
Leni Riefenstahl created images from light and shadow, from movement, rhythm, passion, prodigious energy, physical courage, and driving, epic ambition. She had, she said, one subjectbeautyand searched for it in the natural world, mountain high and underwater deep; in the flags and torches of massed multitudes; in the struggle and transcendence of athletic competition; in the physical and erotic perfection of primitive warriors; andfrom the beginningin herself.
She was born Helene Amalia Bertha Riefenstahl on August 22, 1902, in Wedding, a sooty workers district on the industrial edges of Berlin. The population of the city was then two million going on four, with growth so rapid that street maps were obsolete before printers could produce them. Disgruntled civic planners disparaged Berlin as a "nowhere city," a city "always becoming" that "never is," but advocates of change hailed "progress" and thrilled to restless urban rhythms as full of expectancy as its airthe fabled Berliner Luftand just as vital and intoxicating.
The onetime river trading post and its mushrooming suburbs would incorporate as Greater Berlin in 1920, by which time the boundaries of "Athens on the Spree" were vast enough to embrace Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Munich put together. It was a parvenu metropolis compared to Paris, London, or Vienna with their Roman roots and ruins, but it was alsoquite suddenlythe third largest metropolitan area in the world: loud, aggressive, and going places.
"The fastest city in the world!" they called Berlin when Leni was born there. It had been the capital of Germany, of what was grandly styled the Second Reich, for only thirty years, but empire builders in a hurry boasted of its modernity, unperturbed that horses still pulled trolleys through gaslit streets, that running water (hot or cold) was seldom encountered above the ground floor, and that the Berlin telephone directory was a twenty-six-page pamphlet. Crime and vice were no more rampant and no less colorful than in London, Paris, Buenos Aires, or New York. News of the dayor the minuterolled off the presses in every political persuasion from the hundred dailies and weeklies that were published there in a babel of languages, making Berlin the liveliest, most densely concentrated center of journalism in all Europe.
Berlins boosters were too focused on the future to give more than a backward glance to such slums and laborers districts as Wedding or to the workers children, like Leni, growing up in them. Civic do-gooders nodded dutifully as Kaiser Wilhelm II reminded them of "the duty to offer to the toiling classes the possibility of elevating themselves to the beautiful." One had only to point inferiors in the direction of the Hohenzollern Palace, the Tiergarten, the Victory Column, the broad canals and their 957 bridges (more than in Venice), the Pergamon Museum with its antiquities, the Reichstag with its "To the German People" promise carved in stone beneath its sheltering dome of steel and glass; or to the glittering theaters, operas, and hotels, the promenade streets such as tree-canopied Unter den Linden or the racier Kurfürstendamm (Bismarcks answer to the Champs-Élysées) lined with shops and sidewalk cafés. If the toiling class infrequently abandoned the factory floors for tours of the more elegant venues of imperial Berlin, the kaiser graciously imparted his notions of art and the beautiful to them. "An art which transgresses the laws and barriers outlined by Me," he explained, "ceases to be an art." This rang with reassuring certainty to the aesthetically insecure and was a viewpoint that a later leadera onetime painter of picture postcards and aspiring architectwould echo and that millions would accept with awed docility.
No city in Europe made such a cult of modernity. Berlin was rushing at the turn of the century to make up in future what it lacked in past, while custodians of nostalgia mourned "a vanished Arcadia" that had never truly been. Velocity, anonymity, and the cheek-by-jowl juxtaposition of promise and peril inspired songs, paintings, novels, plays, andalready flickering silently when Leni was bornfilms. Most of these works inspired awe and alienation, too, as ordinary Berliners wondered uneasily where all this urban energy would lead. Ambivalence would find disturbing graphic expression in the 1920s, but prophetic, ominous visions of city life that were dubbed "degenerate" from the start began appearing in the teens from such painters as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, and Ludwig Meidner, who labeled his urban paintings "apocalyptic landscapes."
Berlin-Wedding had scant time for art or musings on modernity. It was a dense warren of factories, foundries, and labor. It was blocks of tenementscalled Mietskaserne, rent barrackscrowding blue-collar families into one- or two-room flats stacked five or six stories high around sunless courtyards where life was harsh and suicide a daily occurrence. "Tenement sickness" was shorthand for tuberculosis and rickets in Berlin, where the infant mortality rate was almost 20 percent when the nineteenth century ended and more than double that in Wedding, where it reached a high of 42 percent just after Leni was delivered there.
Wedding was poor but not without altruism and aspiration. Its mean streets offered shelter to the homeless in a spartan doss-house, and there was a small pond for ice-skating. Someone in 1905 rented out part of a courtyard shed as a photographers studio, and it wasnt long before one-reel movies were being shot there. In 1912, Wedding established Berlins first crematorium to compensate for the scarcity and cost of open burial ground. Children played in courtyards; geraniums grew on windowsills; music and love got made; and by 1918, nearly 40 percent of all Berliners lived in tenement districts like it. We see their faces in the etchings and prints of Käthe Kollwitz; their bawdy, earthy pleasures titillate still in the sketches of Heinrich Zille, the poetic folk satirist and painter who knew them best and once observed that you can kill a man with his lodgings as well as you can with an ax.
"I hated the class system," Leni Riefenstahl confided to a friend. She was turning ninety then, living in a sheltered lakeside villa in Bavaria, distant enough in every way from Wedding to give perspective on her birthplace, a basic tenement flat in the two-block-long Prinz-Eugen-Strasse. The rooms were first lodgings for first-time parents who were almost newlyweds, married in a civil ceremony on April 5, 1902, nearly five months before their daughter saw first light in August.
Lenis father, Alfred Theodor Paul Riefenstahl, was not yet twenty-four when she was born. He was one of three boys and a girl born to Gustav and Amalie (née Lehmann) Riefenstahl in 1878 in the rural Brandenburg district surrounding Berlin. His father had been a blacksmith like his father before him, but Alfredblond and burly and wearing an upturned Kaiser Wilhelm mustachehad been drawn to Berlin by economic opportunity. He styled himself "salesman" on documents, but in fact he was a plumber. He would in time build his own sanitation and ventilation business as domestic plumbing became standard: niceties turned into necessities, and a plumber into an entrepreneur.
Lenis mother, Bertha Ida Scherlach Riefenstahl, was almost twenty-two when her daughter was born. Bertha was a willowy beauty with dark eyes, curly dark hair, and a determined jawline, all of which she passed on to her only daughter, who was born cross-eyed. Bertha herself was the eighteenth child of a mother who died giving birth to her in Wloclawek (now in Poland) on October 9, 1880. Shortly after Berthas mother died, her fatherLenis carpenter grandfathermarried his childrens nanny and fathered three more children, for a total of twenty-one.
There is a mystery here, one that might amount only to a niggling biographical puzzle were it not a hint of the shifting images of the past that Leni would manipulate as times changed and perspectives with them. Her background unavoidably aroused curiosity in the 1930s among powerful figures of the Third Reich as she rose to prominence among them. Rumors that she was Jewishor partly sogained currency in this period and traced an alleged line of Jewish descent through Bertha. Once aired, the rumors gained wide circulation in the European and American press during the early years of the Third Reich, though the allegations were never proved and were officially repudiated by the ultimate Third Reich authority, the Führer himself. Leni brushed the subject aside then and later as the poisoned residue of a malicious campaign orchestrated against her by Nazi propaganda minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels.
While some of the rumors were almost certainly inspired by Goebbels or others jealous of her position and privileges in the 1930s, not all of them were. Some of Lenis closest friends and colleagues, including Dr. Arnold Fanck, the film director credited with Lenis discovery, believed that Bertha was Jewish. As Lenis onetime mentor and loverand later a Nazi Party memberFancks objectivity and veracity are not beyond challenge. Less equivocal is the testimony of art director Isabella Ploberger, who worked and lived with Leni and Bertha during World War II and took for granted that Bertha"a lovely person, a fine person"was Jewish. Ploberger believed that Goebbels knew, which accounted for his animosity.
There are documents, to be sure. Chief among them is Lenis "Proof of Descent" ("Abstammungs-Nachweis"), the genealogical record of ancestry she prepared and submitted to the Reichs film office in 1933 to validate Aryan descent, necessary to work in the German film industry. This document has long been available but never fully scrutinized, not even by the Nazis for whom it was prepared. Bertha is inscribed there as the child of the carpenter Karl Ludwig Friedrich Scherlach (born 1842) and Ottilie Auguste Scherlach (née Boia), born out of wedlock on January 24, 1863, to Friederika Boia and an unknown father. Though Ottilie Boia and Karl Scherlach are said to have married in the Silesian town of Woldenburg (Dobiegniew in modern Poland), no record of the marriage is known to exist, and their union may have been by common law. But what has gone unnoticed and unremarked is that Ottilie Boia could not possibly have been Berthas mother. Born in 1863, she could not have given birth to seventeen children before delivering Bertha in 1880. Ottilie was almost certainly the nanny that Lenis carpenter grandfather married after his first wife died in delivering Bertha, the birth mother who became a nonperson in the genealogy Leni tendered to the Third Reich. As for Ottilie, she lived out her days as Berthas stepmother and Lenis stepgrandmother in a modest flat in Charlottenburg, the comfortable Berlin suburb where the adolescent Leni ran to her for strudel and sympathy when Alfred Riefenstahls strict discipline became intolerable.
Third Reich genealogies required declaration of religion as well as race, and Lenis states that her forebears were Protestant. They appear not to have been devout. Since 1850, every birth, including Lenis, was recorded at a registry office rather than at a church after a christening (though Leni was confirmed as Protestant in a Berlin church at fifteen).
The city and culture in which Leni grew up were famously cosmopolitan; Jewish conversion to Christianity and cultural assimilation were commonplace, though racial identity, rather than religious, would be the Nazis standard when theirs became the only one that mattered. No known documents fill the gap in Lenis ancestry, but the substitution of Berthas stepmother for her birth mother on a Third Reich genealogical document is hard to fathom without considering a motive touching on race, since defining race was the point of the exercise. What is not speculative is Lenis ability to define and redefine her past as circumstance or occasion required. As for Bertha, Leni "loved her to distraction" until she died in 1965 at the age of eighty-four.
Alfred Riefenstahl inspired different emotions. He was a striver: rigid, efficient, conservative, and Lenis rival for Bertha's attention. His business depended on Berlin, though he felt ill at ease there with his provincial background and views of family life, especially after Lenis only sibling, a brother named Heinz, was born on March 5, 1906. Alfreds burgeoning business allowed him to move the family to a larger flat in Berlin-Neukölln just before Heinz was born and Leni began school. The old neighborhood and the new were similar (both would be centers of Communist agitation after 1918), so it came as a relief when the family could afford weekend excursions to a lakeside village about an hour southwest of Berlin by suburban rail.
Zeuthen was idyllic, green, and distanced Leni and little Heinz from the citys dangers. It was tranquil enough for hiking, swimming, and languidly watching clouds roll by. The cottage the family rentedand would eventually acquirewas a short walk through the woods to the railway line to Berlin and just across the lake from the Gasthaus run by Berthas older sister Olga, who had alerted them to the area in the first place.
As a child, Leni was contentedly solitary except for her brother, perhaps a trait acquired because the family moved so often. After the apartments in Wedding and Neukölln and the weekend cottage at Zeuthen, there would be other flats in Berlin in the Goltzstrasse and in the Yorckstrasse, nearer the center of the city and her fathers business. But she may have been solitary by choice because she saw herself as special and precocious and needed no supporting cast but Heinz and no audience but the indulgent Bertha, "always my best friend."
She began reading at an early age, she tells us, and started writing poetry and plays at the age of five after an excursion to the theater to see a performance of Snow White. Though Alfred preferred bowling or hunting with friends, he now and then treated his family to a show, stoutly impervious to the stage magic that would become a "driving force" for his impressionable daughter and remained one for his wife.
Bertha had dreamed as a girl of going on the stage and may actually have done so. A photograph taken before her marriage shows her dressed in the kind of dashing finery a Floradora girl might have worn: a short-sleeved, knee-length dress trimmed in garlands of flowers repeated in her hat and on the open fan in her right hand, cocked saucily on her hip. She told Leni that she had prayed while carrying her, "Dear God, give me a beautiful daughter who will become a famous actress." The seed planted, grew. What young girl could resist thinking herself the answer to a prayer?
"I dreamed my dreams," Leni said, creating meadowland theatrics in which she played the leading role and the obliging Heinz became her willing prop. Like her poems and daily life, her plays excluded companionship and outsiders. "I allowed no people into my verses, only trees, birds and even insects."
As she entered adolescence, she fantasized becoming a nun, but the cloister sounded confining and self-denial dreary. News reports of aviation exploits during the Great War excited images of adventure and daring. They also inspired her to imagine an entire airline industry on paper, scheduling flights between European cities and even calculating the price of tickets, as if emulating Alfreds administration of his plumbing business. "There was in me some organizational talent struggling to emerge," she remembered later, an aptitude that would prove indispensable when competing in the real world as a woman in a mans universe.

Again, you are looking at the amount covered of treatments actually covered. You can't just get whatever treatment you want and then bill insurance companies. Read the ENTIRE contract, not just the marketing tables.
Easy example. I have to test my blood multiple times a day to control my Type 1 diabetes. Insurance coverages materials for 3 tests a day. Doctor wants me to test 6 times a day and my pump manufacturer wants me to test 9 times a days. Because insurance only covers 3 times a day, they pay 80% of the cost of those supplies. For the other 3 tests, I pay 100% of the cost.
Marketing labels? This is the actual contract...
I left out the part defining "Eligible Expenses" which makes it seem like they could come back and say "hey 2 venom bags were too expensive and we'll only pay for 1", but that isn't the case and I'll add the definition below.
The only area it all gets hairy is once you go "out of network", but that is the case with any insurance product since they can't negotiate a rate "out of network" beforehand.

Welcome to the Department of English and Modern Languages Web pages. We offer courses in English language and literature, creative writing, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. Our aim is to prepare students to communicate and create new knowledge in the many different communities – academic and business, personal and international - in which they will live and work. We are committed to providing our students with opportunities for frequent writing and detailed instructor feedback in a discussion-centred classroom environment. Many of our students have gone on to achieve distinction in the creative arts, teaching, journalism, business, and graduate study.
Department members are themselves active scholars as well as teachers, and have won international recognition for their work. Books by department members (and contributions to books) have been published by Cambridge UP, Cambridge University; U of Toronto P, the University of Toronto; U of Alberta P, University of Alberta; Michigan State UP, Michigan State University; Inkshed Publications, University of Manitoba; Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies, to name only a few.
The study of English introduces students to a wide range of human creative activity, from the literature of ancient civilizations to the most recent developments in film and creative writing. Because our courses focus on reading, writing, thinking, and imagining, English studies also form natural interdisciplinary links with a variety of other areas, including history, Canadian studies, law, journalism, philosophy, fine arts, sociology, and psychology. But English is also a good start for those interested in the ministry and religious paths, counselling and therapy, social work, education, management, and other areas where imagination, precision, organization, and good communication skills are important.
Our introductory literature and composition courses emphasize writing, but they also introduce Arts students to the close reading and interpretation of texts, a process that is essential in understanding ourselves and how language, images, and stories work in all walks of life. For our senior-level students, we offer English Major and English Minor programs. The English Major provides students with the opportunity to experience both the depth and breadth of literature and writing in English, from Medieval to Postmodern, Canadian to African, children's literature to aboriginal drama. While engaging the imagination and probing the human condition, English studies also encourage students to develop complex reading, writing and thinking skills, all of which are essential in the Information Age. The English Minor, although less concentrated than the Major, also allows students to develop interests in imaginative writing and earn a valuable credential in conjunction with another Major program at TRU. The Creative Writing Minor challenges students to tap into their creativity, teaches them the elements of form through critique of contemporary works, and provides them with the opportunity to practice writing in the following genres: short fiction, novel, poetry, playwriting and screenwriting.
A degree in English will never be obsolete; it provides experiences and develops skills that will remain valuable throughout one's lifetime.
Advising is now available for English Major and Minor and Creative Writing Minor - email for appointment.

You could try a geometry shell. I'd even set the offset to 0. You'd use an opacity map for both the 'robotic' shell and the 'human' shell to mask out the other side. Then you could use separate shader definitions for each.
That idea was so intriguing, I had to try it out, so here's a quick test render. The skin part uses the Skin lighting model (duh) while the metal parts use the Glossy Metallic lighting model. Lights are one of Lantios' sets.

Girl, where and how have you been?
Plans for the summer?
You hoooo!
Nose in the books, getting my bachelors in accounting.
Not much else going on, actually glad to say. Only doing a porch container garden, gotta have my (cookin') herbs!!!
How 'bout you?
This weather is soooooo much better than last year!
Keep on studying! and congrats to you on furthering your career. I have an AD in Nursing, never really wanted to get a BSN only because the longer I've stayed in the profession the more disenchanted I've become with healthcare. I always loved numbers,etc and loved accounting in high school. Often think I should have gone that route. Stay in touch and let us know when you graduate!
I hear ya on the career path blues. A friend of mine also went into nursing, then steered into massage therapy and since she owns a farm, added organic produce, so you just never know.
I started out my working career in accounting but something just didn't satisfy an 18 yr. old!
Besides, the boss is less likely to ask a number-nummy to go shopping for his wife than he would a secretary (and I hate that crap).
Will stay in touch, take care!!!
Understand, drop by when you can!
admire you young girls for trying to better yourselves. I wish you all the luck in the world Red and success in your dreams of the future.
Thanks Colin!! Very sweet. :)

Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
Having learned the miracle of insulation these last two weekends with the curing fires, I have decided to add a layer of vermicucrete to the outside of the dome. I see in posts that some add it directly to the dome, while others are laying down the ceramic blanket first and then putting down the vermicucrete over the blanket. Does anyone know the relative benefits of either approach. Does applying directly to the dome provide more structural support?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
I put the blanket outside the brick dome, and covered it with vermiculite concrete. The perlcrete has no structural strength, so I don't think it will help with anything structural, except maybe supporting the stucco on the outside of the dome. Besides, the blanket is the much better insulator, and you want it where it will do the most good.
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
Hi JCG31,
I live in Kenya and have been unable to find any sort of insulating blanket to put around the dome. I finally opted for 6 inches of vermicucrete. It seems to be working fairly well. I was a bit concerned about expansion and the need for a woven insulation blanket but the vermicucrete seems to be working just fine.
I agree that it adds no structural elements to the whole program. It's acutally a bit of mess to work with. I ended up "sculpting" a layer of chicken wire (1/2" opening) about 6 inches above the dome outer face and then filling the space between the dome and the chicken wire with the vermicucrete. I don't see how it ever would have stuck without the chicken wire to hold it in place.

Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
I think dmun has it correct. Blanket first, then vermicrete.
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
Have to add my assent to what Dmun and George have said. All the FB installations I've done are assembled with the blanket(s) first, then chicken wire, then wet insulation coating, whether vermic/cement or something else.
You won't get any structural advantage by using the wet coat first, and the blanket(s) is/are the better insulator to have directly against the dome.
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
Blanket first, then vermicucrete. Done! Thanks all.
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
Jim, I know you are installing 50sf of 2" blanket which probably means you will have 3" coverage over your dome. If you are planning on adding vermiculite over it is it because More Is Better or have you noticed what you have so far is lacking?
As you know I have 50sf of 3"(4-5" of coverage) that I'm hoping will be enough, but I don't know.
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
No, I am just buying the "you can never have enough insulation" thinking. But I had the top outer surface of the dome to 725 degrees this weekend (inside top was 850-derees). The wool on top of the dome was merely warm, I am certain if I had two layers in place the wool would have been entirly cool to the touch. You should be fine with what you have.
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
Jim, thanks for the info.
If you are at 850 in the dome and day 5 goal is 700 have you started cooking yet?
Re: Vermicucrete above or below Kaowool
Perhaps a silly question from one who hasn't started building yet, but if the blanket is a superior insulator, why skip the vermiculite and put down more blanket? Does the vermiculite serve some other purpose?

Boog Brown is a dope emcee. Not a "femcee" but an emcee. So what if she wears makeup and pretty skirts. Those things mean nothing because Boog is thorough on the mic stripping her voice of gender. Her candor, vulnerability, and concentration towards her art make her one of the top emcees of the year. And Apollo Brown is at the forefront of Hip Hop producers because of his ability to build around the rappers he works with. He has a good understanding of his collaborators and knows what works for them beyond just having a banging beat. His beats blend impeccably with Boog's lyrics and they "go together like the kick and the snare." She breathes life into his beats and he gives her mini-movies to tell engulfing stories to. And as you listen to their album, The Brown Study, you will hear the irrefutable chemistry that these two share which makes this album damn near flawless.
"I am just the messenger…you can really benefit…"
The album opens with "Marinate," which is a moody intro decorated in coarse horns as Boog gives us free range to listen to her psyche. Her rousing flow and undeviating approach is the perfect introduction to an album that will submerge itself deep into your core, which is Boog's intention.
"I want the power—peace, knowledge, wisdom, understanding…"
Boog has humbleness to her that is a rare and refreshing and she displays it immaculately on "Masterplan." Instead of bragging about what she already has, she humbles herself and reveals what she is searching for over a well-crafted beat that has several elements of Biggie's classic, "Things Done Changed." It's the perfect fusion of boom-bap, cinematic flair, and brash presence that is Apollo's blueprint.
"I play the game never let the game play me…"
"Play The Game" featuring Kenn Starr takes a deeper introspective turn by addressing the sexism and discrimination that female emcees face far too often. Boog's vulnerability will take you to a time in your life where you've been discriminated against because it is that raw in its sentiment. And Boog could've just focused on the female perspective but Kenn Starr also shared the frustration of an artist whose creativity is confined to a box proving that the adversities within Hip Hop are human issues and go beyond gender. Boog concludes with "I'm a human being" which is a simplistic yet powerful statement. And Apollo adds the perfect melancholy sample over a beat that is clear-cut allowing the lyrics to remain at the forefront.
"Aint trying to preach to you, just trying to reach you. With the rules and regulations of defying limitations…"
The lyrics on "Carpe Diem 2" are thorough and reflective but the beat steals the show. Apollo is clearly in love with the "boom-bap" sound and he emulates it extremely well while adding his own twist. The sample massages the drums and seduces the breaks and switch ups bringing forth a great sound that takes us back to those classic days when "boom-bap"dominated Hip Hop.
"So come and get it if you tough enough to fuck with it…"
"U.P.S" is the perfect example of why Apollo and Boog belong together like Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth. And whoever is on the receiving end of Boog's attack should feel nervous because this is her "Shook Ones" moment. Crisp in her elocution, and brazen with her lyrics, Boog is more than capable of holding her own in a battle with any emcee—male or female. And the production on this track has a gritty yet heightened energy that subconsciously screams out victory.
"Defecate all on the track and you can smell the shit…."
This album is filled with lively beats but the production on "Understanding" is one of my favorites. It's simple enough with its yielding cymbals and alluring instrumentation to bring the focus to Boog's lyrics. And its majestic panache closes out the album exactly how they opened it bringing it full circle.
The Brown Study is an amazing project with few blemishes. There are a few weak choruses, some trite moments, and a few instances where the production runs together but they are so miniscule that most won't catch them. This album works because Boog's topics are universal and her poetic approach is relatable. And Apollo's sparse production gives us classic elements from the past with energizing elements from the present. So take the time to get a Hip Hop lesson in how a superb album is made in The Brown Study.

Naomi Campbell's journalistic résumé may include interviewing political heavyweights for British GQ, but the feisty supermodel isn't above turning her pen to more low-brow issues. Campbell guest edited the "3 AM" gossip column for British tabloid The Daily Mirror on Tuesday (in which she's featured ad nauseam), offering her two cents on everything from Kelly Osbourne's love life to BFF Victoria Beckham.
In a double-page spread, she also aired her views on the current crop of mannequins. "I think the term 'supermodel' gets thrown around too much nowadays," she mused. "Kate Moss is obviously a supermodel, but after Gisele, don't think there's been one." Campbell recently interviewed Argentina's first elected female president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, for the September issue of British GQ, which will hit newsstands at the end of this month.

Why is Uranus So Powerful ?

Let's look deeper into Uranus…
Transforms Market Direction is a strong meaning for this odd Planet.
Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, has its spin axis almost in the plane of its orbit about the Sun. This produces unusual seasons and also causes unique magnetic and electric field structures. Uranus has a faint ring system and 27 known moons.
The magnetosphere of Uranus has a very strange tilt. The extreme tilt, combined with the extreme tilt of Uranus itself, makes for a completely strange magnetosphere, one which has twisting structure.
One of the most distinctive features of Uranus is its axial tilt of ninety-eight degrees. Consequently, for part of its orbit one pole faces the Sun continually while the other pole faces away. At the other side of Uranus' orbit the orientation of the poles towards the Sun is reversed. Between these two extremes of its orbit the Sun rises and sets around the equator normally.

Studio Models
While acknowledging that the vital role of the Honor Guards precision and formality is integral to the ceremonies in which they engage, Zenos felt strongly that the sculpture needed to convey the breathing presences of the real men and women who comprise this special unit. The challenge was to infuse life into figures that were, by necessity, stationary.
Initial plans for the Honor Guard sculpture called for generic uniformed figures without race or gender. As the originally proposed sketchy figures became more and more specific under the guidance of the Honor Guard specialists, it was natural that the portraits on the sculptures needed to acquire more personality. The U.S. Fine Arts Commission ordered Zenos to make specific portraits on the figures, and the Board of Directors for the AFMF supported that order by authorizing him to do so.
Recalling the women and the Hispanic and African-American men who participated in the Honor Guard ceremonies at Bolling, Zenos requested the Boards permission to make the Honor Guard sculpture reflect the diversity inherent in the U.S. military and the Honor Guard units he observed. The Board approved this recommendation immediately.
The Honor Guard sculpture for the Air Force Memorial is composed, from left to right, of one Caucasian man, one African-American man, one Hispanic man and one Caucasian woman. The sculptures of both the Caucasian man and the African-American man were created with the help of several models posing for each figure. The sculpture of the Hispanic Airman was drawn from Sgt. William Diaz, of the U.S Air Force Reserves 913th Services in Willow Grove, PA, several miles from Zenos Glenside studio. Sgt Diaz said of his studio experience, It was truly an honor to pose for something I believe in. I am proud of what and whom it represents. To play a part in this history is beyond words, and working with Zenos was an experience I will never forget. He taught me the value of looking at life through the eyes of an artist.
The female Honor Guard was largely posed for in uniform by Alexis Henry, whose portrait graces the sculpture.
Airman First Class Nicol J. Sabolat that time, with the 913 Air Force Communications Flight in Willow Grovesaid, I was interested in modeling for the sculpture and being part of the Memorial. It isnt often that you get a chance to be part of history, She posed in uniform for the female Honor Guard.
Zenos niece, Jennifer Frudakis, a sculptor in her own right, with several decades of professional sculpting experience, assisted throughout the development of the large figures. In 2004 and 2005, Aaron J. Sykes, who assisted on World War II Memorial sculptures, worked on the clay models with Zenos and Jennifer. In 2005 and 2006, sculptor and painter Christopher Collins assisted with the flags and battle streamers.

ABIDJAN, Cote d'Ivoire — Cote d'Ivoire is a unique country in sub-Saharan Africa in more ways than one.
Its first president, Felix Houphouet-Boigny, was able to lead its 15 million inhabitants - including five million foreigners - and a mosaic of 60 ethnic groups peacefully for a long time.
He maintained national unity from independence on 1 August 1960 until his death in 1993. During his reign, the country was spared of coups and upheavals that had become a commonplace in many African countries.
Stability and peace impacted positively on an economy based on coffee and cocoa, the country's main exports.
Houphouet-Boigny worked with Philipe-Gregoire Yace, who was speaker of the national assembly (1960-1980), and Alphonse Boni, who was president of the Supreme Court in the same period. Mathieu Ekra, Gabriel Dadie and Germain Coffi Gadeau were also his lieutenants during his rule.
The physician and farmer was propelled to power under the banner of the African Democratic Rally (RDA).
Ivorian women also played a big part in the struggle for independence, taking part in a march on the colonial prison in Grand Bassam (40 km east of Abidjan) and the country's first capital, to protest the arrest of the leaders of the Democratic Party of Cote d'Ivoire (PDCI), the Ivorian chapter of the RDA.
Two of the women who featured prominently in the country's colonial struggle are Anne-Marie Raggi and Marie Kore.
Although he did not designate a successor while he was alive, Houphouet-Boigny groomed Henri Konan Bedie, his economy and finance minister, for the post.
This probably explained why at the PDCI congress in 1980, the elder statesman tactfully allowed Bedie to replace Gregoire Yace as speaker of the national assembly.
By occupying this post, Bedie naturally became the next in succession to the president, in keeping with Article 11 of the Ivorian constitution. Thus from 1980 to 1990, Bedie served in this capacity.
Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany in 1989, Houphouet-Boigny was obliged to open the country to multiparty politics.
Among the opposition groups to emerge was Laurent Gbagbo's Ivorian Popular Front.
In the face of economic difficulties and 30 years of power, the Old Man, as he was fondly called, for the first time appointed a Prime Minister in the name of Alassane Dramane Ouattara, popularly called ADO.
On 7 December 1993, the Old Man died. The problem of his succession resurfaced but thanks to Article 11, Bedie was able to assume power immediately and surrounded himself with a new generation of politicians.
He appointed Daniel Kablan Duncan, who was Ouattara's deputy, as head of government.
Duncan selected young technocrats, most of whom came from the Bretton Woods institutions and from within the PDCI ranks.
However, the Bedie team, with a strong PDCI component, found it hard to do away with the old single party mentality and its corollary of corruption, nepotism and bad governance that went with it.
By 1995, Bedie was finding it difficult to run the country after elections effectively boycotted by the opposition.
This situation created rifts within the PDCI whose most frustrated members rallied behind Ouattara and his Republican's Rally (RDR).
Worse, Bedie started his first term of office by alienating the army when he forced the army chief of staff, Gen. Robert Guei, to retire prematurely.
The latter took his revenge on 24 December 1999, when he cashed in on an army mutiny to seize power and become the country's third head of state.
Guei is surrounded by comrades-in-arms who are nonetheless well versed in Houphouet-Boigny's ideals, after having treaded the corridors of power.
The most visible among them is Gen. Abdolaye Coulibaly, who was the Old Man's former pilot and Lansana Palenfo, his former security minister.

Chile Immigration Law
|Chile Immigration and Residency Visas
|Immigration Law: Chile Visas and Citizenship
In many countries in South America and Latin America they will offer citizenships, residency, or passports in exchange for a minimal "investment" in the country. Those minimal investment numbers don't include the official bribes, or warnings that the political winds might shift and your residency status and investment might go with them. Panama and Argentina for instance in recent years have become notorious for playing this game with foreign investors and their money. Chile does not play such games with its residents. There is no minimal investment required in Chile to apply for residency.
Chile is easily one of the most corruption free and stable countries in the Americas, and also one of the most amicable to foreigners looking to relocate or retire. The fundamental approach of Chile in general to immigration is not so much do they want you or will they let you in, but asking you to prove that you are able to stay (in terms of money) in Chile and are serious about living in Chile in the long-term.
Before we get in to the requirements for the Chilean Retirement and Income visa, I want to take a moment to dispel some misunderstandings about whom the Retirement and Income visa in Chile is designed for, and what it allows you to do. We have obtained this visa succesfull for hundreds of clients ranging from large families with children, to people opening a business, to people working inside and outside the country, to your traditional retired couple. You do not need to be retired to apply for this visa, although you can be retired.
In many ways the Chilean Retirement and Income Visa is the swiss army knife of immigration visas in Chile. When assessing the best visa for our clients, we normally look first to see if their situation and goals fit the Retirement and Income visa requirements, and then we look to other sorts of visas if they do not qualify. In fact, it is very rare that our clients need to apply for any other sort of visa such as the more complex "Investor Visa" no matter what their reason is for being in Chile.
You do need to prove a source of regular recurring income to support yourself and your family members for living in Chile. Additional assets also help. We will discuss this more detail in a moment.
The second reason we find that people will overlook this visa is because they want to work or start a business in Chile. The retirement and income visa does not exclude you from requesting a work permit (while you wait for approval) or starting a business in Chile. These are done in a separate process, but you can do them together. In fact, for most of our clients this is the path of least resistance for starting a business in Chile, if they wish to work in that business in Chile. You do not need to even have residency in Chile, or even visit Chile to invest in Chile or own a buisness. The investor visa in Chile is very complex and ties your immigration status to the success or failure of your business.
The investor visa in Chile is easy to obtain, and very difficult to keep. Immigration will audit your business in the second year to determine if it is a viable business and will examine in detail your business plan. An investor visa will also typically cost thousands of dollars more in terms of related procedures to starting a busness that must be completed before you can apply, and it is accepted.
You have no such problems with the Retirement and Income visa, if your business venture in Chile should fail. You can just start another business or do nothing, secure in the fact that your immigration status or residency in the country is not tied to your business venture.
Qualifying for the Chilean Retirement and Income Visa
The key requirement is a basic recurring income that will support you. Among just a few of the sources that Chilean Immigration will accept are pensions, social security, rent from real estate, long-term contracts, interest income, annuities. Just about any source that will prove a periodically recurring source of income. Normally proof of that source of income only needs to cover about the 14 month period between when you first apply for temporary residency, the year you are under temporary residency, and the change of status to permanent residency once your year of temporary residency is complete.
Your other resources are also considered. It is not only a recurring source of income. Immigration would for example consider a small social security Check you receive every month, in addition to a large savings account, stock portfolio, or property you own in Chile as proof that you have sufficient assets. Some of the secondary assets that Chilean immigration will consider are savings, stocks, property in Chile or other countries, investment in a business in Chile, and so on.
Chilean immigration for the most part will not tell us or anyone else exactly what the magic number is in terms of monthly income or other assets that is required to qualify. All they will say is that it must be sufficient to live on in the area you are intending to reside. So, for example it is much more expensive to live in Las Condes in Santiago than a small town in Southern Chile. A good rule of thumb across Chile is that you should be able to show $500 -1000 US per person including yourself and any people you claim as dependents on your application. This is typically sufficient to live a middle class life style in almost every part of Chile. Again, cheaper parts of Chile like in the rural areas of the south, will require less to live on. As little as $300 – 400 US a month may be acceptable in some special situations.
It also does not need to be a monthly income. It could be quarterly, for example in the case of divined payouts.
Chile Immigration Procedures and Documents
We must first warn you however do not try to apply for this visa at your nearest Chilean consulate outside of Chile. The only immigration applications we have ever seen consistently rejected have been done through the consulate while people are outside the country, in spite of what the consulate may tell you.
If you avoid this basic mistake, immigration officials have told us they nearly accept 100% of the applications as long as the application is correctly completed and the supporting documents are provided. Most of the rejections occur outside the country, because the staff at the consulates and embassies do not know the correct procedures. The consulates although they can approve visa applications, are in fact a different branch of the Chilean government independent from the department of immigration in Chile. They also have very different requirements, that vary from consulate to consulate in their implementation. For example, some consulates will request a FBI background check and an AIDS test. The immigration office in Chile does not request such documentation, although they could.
The correct procedure recommended by immigration is to come to Chile under a regular tourist visa, then to change your status by applying for the Retirement or Income visa to a temporary visa for 1 year. Once you apply, and are awaiting approval of your temporary visa you can remain in the country without needing to renew your tourist visa. Please note, nationals of some developing countries from africa, the middle east, and asia are required to apply through the Chilean consulate in their home country.
Once your one year temporary visa is approved, you must remain in Chile for at least 180 days in a one year period before you can apply for permanent residency. Each day you are out of the country, is discounted from your temporary residency time. The longest you can be out of the country is 180 days consecutively. You can apply for a 1 year extension to complete this time, but only once. If you fail to meet this requirement, you must start the application procedure all over again and your temporary residency time. So, it is best to plan to remain in Chile once you begin the application procedure. Once you complete that temporary residency requirement, you can then apply for a permanent residency status change.
All key documents submitted as supporting evidence to immigration must be notarized and / or legalized. Chile is not a party to the Hague convention on signatures and legalization. Thus, this means that there is a lengthy authentication process for such things as birth certificates, contracts, bank statements, pension statements, and so on that you might wish to submit to immigration.
It can vary from country to country and and consulate to Chilean consulate, but for the most part this involves notarizing an official copy in your home country, and having that notarization certified by a standard legalization process at the nearest Chilean consulate. Once the documents arrives in Chile, they must again be certified at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Santiago. It is best to check these procedures before leaving home, as some documents are much easier to obtain in person while you are still in your home country.
One final word about immigration in Chile. The corruption free environment of Chile is in part traded for extensive bureaucratic checks and balances. Be patient. That said, if your application is rejected for some reason, no one is going to kick in your door in the middle of the night and throw you out of the country. You can in most cases reapply, and more commonly immigration may request more documentation while allowing you to remain on your current visa. Again, the number one reason that immigration applications are rejected in Chile is because of improperly or incomplete applications.
Please feel to contact us with any questions you might have, or to receive assistance and prices regarding having your visa application prepared by our Chilean immigration attorneys.

Majestic Hotel Overlooking the Fabulous Santorini Caldera
Designed by Greek studio Divercity Architects in collaboration with mplusm, Grace Santorini is a beautiful 20-room hotel with astonishing views. Combining luxury with amazing services, the hotel is highly inviting, particularly if you take in consideration its beautiful swimming pools and welcoming interiors. Here is more from the architects: "The hotel provides a contemporary interpretation of vernacular architecture: economy of space, radical simplicity, and organic forms. Like Santorini's yposkafa – cave-like dwellings with rounded walls and domed roofs excavated from the rock-face – no furniture is free-standing. Custom-built storage and vanity units are moulded into alcoves. All-white interiors with brushed concrete floors reiterate the trademark whitewashed houses of the Cyclades. The infinity pool's jagged outline echoes the zigzag paths that criss-cross Santorini's sheer terrain. Santorini's hotel rooms are invariably front-loaded to face the view, leaving residents exposed to passers-by. To ensure privacy, fragments of volcanic rock are positioned in the windows of four rooms, interspersed with apertures that provide glimpses to the sea." Nothing short of mesmerising, the views of this hotel left us speechless, which is exactly why we would love to read what you have to say about this project. [Photos by: Erieta Attali, Serge Detalle]

I was reading an interesting article on Inhabitat about various large IT companies working to create code auditors that audit for energy efficiency. Being that server farms are a huge user of energy it makes perfect sense to not only try to use renewable energy sources to power them. But to go to the source of the issue and insure the code itself is as efficient as possible. It's a simple idea but one that to be honest had never crossed my mind. You could compare it to a house that uses old fashioned everything that is an energy hog and is powered by solar. So it takes 10 times as many solar panels to run the house which basically cancels out any impact to the environment since the non-renewable energy used to make the solar panels to begin with. The article also pointed out a Greenpeace campaign called "COOL IT" that gives report cards to big IT companies and their use of renewable energy. To my surprise Cisco seems to be at the forefront. The stranger thing was I saw no mention of Amazon, who is one of the biggest cloud providers around now.

Future: Amazon's 'Think Clouds' are Data Aware
As we understand it from the discussion on stage, a Think Cloud is a "body of knowledge" that is a real-time information base of Amazon cloud that can be pivoted all the way down to the threads and individual data concurrency. It would be an index that acts like a control point that helps define movement of data through a servers and compute tasks. Looking at the journey from the data point of view, including data about the environment itself and how to repair itself when damaged and keep data concurrency in tact.
Nation's New CIO Speaks of Clouds
NYTimes has a good blog post about the nation's new CIO and his desire to embrace cloud computing:
Mr. Kundra also said that he would push the government to embrace cloud computing — having work done on large servers rather than on desktop PCs. He acknowledged that there are privacy and security issues with some cloud-computing efforts, particularly when the computers are not all operated by the government. But he said that should not stop the government from taking advantage of the speed and efficiency such systems offer.
Cloud security: Is it raining in the cloud?
SC has a good write up on cloud computing security:
Cloud computing, as least as a concept, is being driven largely by economics. It is generally less costly to run applications, add capacity and increase storage in the cloud, rather than investing in new hardware and software, and bringing on additional staff and beefing up networking.
"Cloud computing will happen because it has too much of an economic incentive and developer support – applications can be quickly added and developers can have a single place to maintain source code," says Vatsal Sonecha, VP, business development & product management at TriCipher.
Overall, incentives include application-deployment speed, lower costs and fast prototyping. These are strong drivers. So much so that Gartner predicts that by 2012, 80 percent of Fortune 1000 companies will pay for some cloud computing service, and 30 percent of them will pay for a cloud computing infrastructure.
That is not to say that entire data centers will be moving to the cloud, at least in the largest companies. But for certain solutions, the cost benefits are hard to ignore.
Cloud Computing and BSD's Place In It
I am a Linux guy. But I am also a big lover and user of OpenBSD and FreeBSD. This got me to thinking of BSD and it's place in Cloud Computing. In terms of Amazon Web Services EC2 I have yet to see it. When checking the FreeBSD and OpenBSD projects I have yet to see it at all in a Xen form. There are a few posting regarding getting it to sort of work. There is a wiki page for FreeBSD project dedicated to a Xen port. I believe this lack of Xen support will not help BSDs to compete with Linux flavors. I would love to be able to use BSD for certain roles.
Using Scalr to Manage Amazon Web Services
I have been using Amazon Web Services for some time now and decided to use the Open Source Scalr Project to manage my farms on AWS. After overcoming many hurtles to getting Scalr running successfully I have been using it to manage my farms for about a month. Compared to the initial outlay required my RightScale the time it took to get Scalr running was nominal. Plus I like the ability to have a developer tweak the functionality of Scalr to fit our business requirements. There is an active Google Group for Scalr that I have used to solve most of my issues. People also have the option of using Scalr.net as a pay per month solution to manage their AWS farms. I chose to host my own instance of Scalr since we are doing large scale hosting and the previously mentioned need to customize it. I do enjoy the ease Scalr provides in bundling new custom roles I build for our various application servers. It allows you to simply press a button to save a new role for future use. Along with its ability to auto-scale as traffic dictates those are the two biggest pluses for me in using Scalr.
I will be adding more on my experiences with Scalr in coming days. If you are installing on CentOS5 I have some install notes I posted here.

Hold the glory of this season by becoming new wineskins
wine tasting (
no login
Posted Feb 13, 2012 2:56 PM
by BILL BURNS:
It is time for you to become new wine-skins, for the old wine-skins have become dry and hardened and will not be able to expand with the revelation of that which Jesus is doing in this season. So, let your wine skin be renewed by the oil of this moment and the oil that Jesus is providing for you. Let the oil of Jesus' touch and Jesus' glory soften and refresh you, anoint you, and hold you. Let the oil of Jesus' glory come upon you. Be renewed. Be made into a new skin so that you may hold the glory of this season and so you may not only have a taste of it but that you shall become full of it; that you shall contain all that Jesus is doing. Let Jesus' glory come upon you and change you,
says the Lord God.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
American billionaire Warren Buffett paid $2 billion for the remaining 20 percent of the Israeli firm Iscar.
Buffett had bought 80 percent of the Iscar Metalworking Company Group, in which Iscar is the main company, for $4 billion in 2006, according to Globes.
The company, the second largest maker of precision carbide cutting tools in the world, is located in the Tefen industrial park in northern Israel. It was founded by Israeli billionaire Stef Wertheimer. It employs 2,500 people in Israel and another 7,500 at its facilities around the world.
Wertheimer was fired from the Rafael corporation in 1958 because he didn't graduate from high school.
