It's impossible to have just one these lemon squares. I've made this recipe many times. It's my go-to recipe for lemon squares because it's easy and fast. You'll get lots of kudos for bringing it to your next bake sale or potluck.
Once Upon a Chef has my favorite recipe for Lemon Squares. Most of the recipes for Lemon Squares are pretty much the same but there's something about this one that separates it from the rest. Perhaps, it's the step by step instructions including photos for each of those steps really helped me to make sure I was on the right track. For example, the fact that the recipe calls for confectioner's sugar instead of granulated sugar speeds up the mixing time.
These lemon squares are delicious! You've got to try this recipe.

A recipe for violence in Brazil
Tens of thousands marched in the streets of Brasilia on Wednesday in support of imprisoned former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
On Friday, the U.N. chimed in.
The United Nations Human Rights Committee, a panel of independent experts, on Friday said it had requested that the Brazilian government allow imprisoned former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to exercise his political rights as a presidential candidate.
Lula is the candidate for his Workers Party (PT) and leads presidential polls ahead of the October ballot, but is widely expected to be banned from running by an electoral court. He was jailed in April on a corruption conviction.
Today a new poll came out.
Lula, who is serving a 12-year sentence for corruption, garnered 37.7 percent of voting intention in the MDA poll released on Monday, compared to 32.4 percent in its previous May survey.
Barring Lula from running is a set up for an illegitimate government and political violence.
Last week Lula wrote an op-ed in the NY Times describing his imprisonment as a "right-wing coup".
We proved that fighting poverty was a good economic policy.
Then this progress was interrupted. Not through the ballot box, although Brazil has free and fair elections. Instead, President Dilma Rousseff was impeached and removed from office for an action that even her opponents admitted was not an impeachable offense. Then, I, too, was sent to prison, after a dubious trial on corruption and money laundering charges.
My imprisonment was the latest phase in a slow-motion coup designed to permanently marginalize progressive forces in Brazil. It is intended to prevent the Workers' Party from again being elected to the presidency.
The current right-wing government is deeply unpopular.
Doesn't this slow coup have US backing?
Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.
Certainly seems to
I am not aware of any US officials speaking out against it and, as the comment below suggests, this is certainly consistent with past US efforts to remove any slightly progressive government in Latin America.
This is all
right out of the " School of the Americas" playbook. Our spooks have done this and the Brazilian people are desparately trying to take their democratically elected government back.
The working class there is rising up, as well as Bolivia, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, and Chile.
Get our troops and spooks out of there and a whole new continent will blossom in peace and prosperity.
Brazil is my second home...
... so sad to see what's going on down there, and to see the least of the corrupt bunch being targeted by the most corrupt among them.

I have a dream: that we will bring back the arts of dream healing and build new dream temples.
Every dreamer has a personal physician available who will make house calls at any hour, prefers to heal without surgery or pharmaceuticals – and does not charge a penny..
Every night, if we pay attention, we find that our dreams are giving us an impeccable readout on our physical, emotional and spiritual health. Our dreams are constantly showing us what we need in order to stay well.
When treatment is required, our dreams advise us on where to go – and where not to go – for help.
Dreams also show us the hidden causes of illness, taking us into realms that are only grudgingly acknowledged by mainstream medicine and psychology. They show us how we may have lost vital energy – pieces of soul – through pain or abuse or negative behavior, and how we can get it back.
Just as we can make ourselves ill by dwelling on stress and fearful images, we can use healing imagery to make ourselves well. Dreams are the best source of this healing imagery, which emerges fresh, spontaneous and personal from our night journeys.
Beyond all this, in big dreams, we may benefit from spontaneous healing.
In the ancient world, pilgrims journeyed to dream temples like those of Asklepios in the hope that healing and guidance would come to them through a direct encounter with the sacred powers that speak and act through dreams.
You go to the dream temple to ask for a dream, a big dream that may in itself be the healing. There is a price for admission. You must leave behind your familiar habits and mindsets. You must be cleansed and purified. You must offer sacrifice. Above all, you must produce the dream of invitation. You get to spend the night in the abaton, the sacred dormitory of the god, only after you have satisfied his servants that you have been called by a specific dream. You will remember to ask for help – and to ask in the right way. This is not necessarily about fixing your physical symptoms. It is about putting body and soul together, and getting in touch with the sacred powers that support your life and the spiritual purpose that should inform it. You will be required to brave up to your fears. You will need to understand that the dream healer may come in many forms: in the Asklepion, the healing power is encountered as god or goddess, as radiant child, as a dog that slobbers on you or a serpent that wraps itself around you.
The core techniques of Asklepian dream healing are these:
Spiritual cleansing. This involves not only cleansing baths and attention to diet and behavior, but a willingness to change our mindset and leave behind old habits and attachments.
Making a sacred space. The inscription over the gatehouse of the Asklepion at Epidaurus read: "Pure must be he who enters the fragrant temple. Purity means to think nothing but holy thoughts." This is about opening a space within ourselves that the healing power can fill – a space, perhaps, for returning soul.
Asking for help. When we go to our dreams for healing or guidance, we are approaching a source that is infinitely wiser than our everyday mind. If we ask for help from a higher power, it is important to learn to ask in the right way. Aelius Aristides, a famous orator who lived for several years at the dream temple at Pergamum, has left us a personal invocation of Asklepios that is a model of the right way to ask for help: "You in your kindness and love of humans…relieve me of my disease and grant me the measure of health the body requires to serve the purposes of the soul."
Working with the animal powers. Asklepios travels with a dog and frequently manifests in the shape of a snake. In our spontaneous dreams, animals often bring us health advisories – and an opening to healing. If the bear is mad at me in my dreams, I give serious thought to my health. If an animal to which you feel connected is injured or undernourished, ask yourself what you might need to do to recover your animal spirits and follow the natural path of your energies. Be open to an animal appearing as guide to a place of deep healing. Shamanic peoples say that if you are not in touch with your power animals, you are not fully alive; something is soul-gone. In the dream temple, our animal spirits come back.
Dream journeys. A dream of invitation gets you inside the sanctuary. Now you learn to dream the dream onward and enter a deeper dreaming, alert and conscious at the borders of sleep and waking. Who knows how far you may learn to travel? With practice, you will learn to access deeper realities at will, and bring back gifts.
Theatre of healing. Some of the finest theatres of the ancient world were attached to the dream temples at Epidauris and Pergamum. As the Greeks well understood, the dramatic arts are deeply purging and healing. In modern dream temples, we perform spontaneous dream theatre to celebrate our journeys, build community dreams and locate ourselves within a deeper story.
Soul recovery. Asklepios is a patron of soul retrieval as well as dream healing. Shamans believe that soul loss is the most common source of illness, depression and chronic fatigue, as well as many mental and emotional disorders. When we suffer unbearable pain or grief, we lose a part of our vital energy. In the dream temple, when space has been cleared, this vital energy can often be brought back. Sometimes we can bring through some of the radiant energy of the Higher Self – our larger spiritual identity – into full embodiment in this lifetime.
Divination. We go to the dream temple not only for healing but for guidance on all the issues and passages of our lives. Our dreams rehearse us for our possible futures, and show us things that may lie far in the future. We can use this information to make wiser choices and often to change the (probable) future for the better. This is about more than seeing the future. It involves divination in the original meaning of the word: i.e., to ascertain the wishes of the divine. This means getting in touch with our spiritual purpose and the sacred powers that support our lives.

On April 18, in response to a statement by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson on British experts at Porton Down lab having analyzed some samples taken at the site of the chemical incident in Khan Sheikhoun, we have asked the Foreign Office to provide us with the information on its unilateral investigation. In particular, we requested information on what kind of samples and where were taken and whether the OPCW's key requirement of chain of custody was observed during the collection of evidence. If the British side had access to the scene of the incident, why wouldn't it provide such an access for the OPCW experts? We have not received any reply so far.
Meanwhile, at the OPCW Executive Committee's extraordinary session in The Hague on 21 April, the Western countries blocked the Russo-Iranian draft decision on an impartial and independent international investigation into the incident in Khan Sheikhoun. The West, with the support of OPCW Director General Mr Ahmet Üzümcü, insisted that it would be "harmful" and that everything was clear and we mustn't question the competence of the experts of the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission responsible for investigation of all credible allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria, which is, by the way, headed by British representatives. In fact, it was said that the line had been drawn and that the British side had incontrovertible proof of the Syrian government's complicity in the chemical incident.The meaning of what was actually going on was in fact explained by Boris Johnson in his interview with the Today program on BBC Radio 4. The Foreign Secretary stated that upon a request of the US Administration, in case of a new chemical incident in Syria, the British Government would be ready to participate in US-led military action – even without approval by Parliament, which will be dissolved on 2nd May due to the forthcoming snap elections. It is good that Downing Street refuted this statement saying that nothing of the sort was contemplated in such a "hypothetical situation". Let's hope that this is the case. Otherwise it might look like some in Washington and London want to artificially reproduce the situation of August 2013, only this time with the new US Administration in place and without participation of the British Parliament, in order to have a pretext for a direct military intervention in Syria for the purpose of regime change. It is a dangerous obsession, which will keep everybody on edge and will be utterly disruptive for the fragile political process in Syria.

In response to the Ambassador Beruchashvili's letter, offering not so much a recollection of the August 2008 events in the Caucasus, but rather a misleading reiteration of the Georgian claims against Russia I have to refer to some of the universally recognized facts and consequences resulting from those tragic events.
When talking about Russia's Far East, you invariably remember its stunning natural beauty, abundance in natural resources and vast territories. But when one thinks of its investments prospects, you also invariably remember its harsh climate, low average population density and the lack of transport and other infrastructure.
But now the situation is changing fundamentally. The region is undergoing a huge and qualitative revival. The development of the region has been declared one of the national priorities for Russia. In the last 5 years 18 advanced development zones and 5 free ports have been established in the Russian Far East. Long-term tax exemptions have been provided for large investment projects. Paperless e-visas for visitors of Vladivostok are available for citizens of 18 countries.
On 4 March 2018 two Russian citizens Sergei and Yulia Skripal were reportedly poisoned in Salisbury, Wiltshire with the toxic chemical named A-234 under the British classification.
On 12 March Foreign Secretary Johnson summoned me to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and said that Russia was "highly likely" responsible for the attack. He invited us to respond by the next day, whether this had been a direct act by the state or Russia had lost control over this nerve agent.
The incident had international repercussions, including expulsion of 150 Russian diplomats from 28 countries, notwithstanding the fact that the charges were based on assumptions and unverifiable intelligence. The Western countries lost the same number of Moscow-based staff. Meanwhile, the British government provided no evidence either to the public, its allies or Russia. Subsequent events revealed that no proof of Russia's involvement existed. On 1 May, National Security adviser Sir Mark Sedwill confirmed that (despite a number of previous leaks) no suspect had been identified, a statement that speaks for itself.
Amid the rapid advance in technologies we face a growing number of cyber-crimes: in 2016, these offences caused damage of $445 billion and by 2020, according to experts, this figure can reach up to $3 trillion, exceeding the overall income received from the Internet.
In December the UN General Assembly (UNGA) adopted the traditional resolution on "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance". It was supported by an overwhelming majority of UN Member States: 133 states voted for this document, 57 became its co-sponsors, and only Ukraine and the United States voted against.
According to the latest Afghanistan Opium Survey released by the Afghan Ministry of Counter Narcotics and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), in 2017 opium production in Afghanistan increased by 87 per cent to a record level of 9,000 metric tons. The area under opium poppy cultivation also grew by 63 per cent to its highest level of 328,000 hectares.
Afghanistan is the world's top cultivator of the poppy from which opium and heroin are produced. The 2017 record levels of opium production and poppy cultivation create multiple challenges for the country, its neighbours and many other countries that serve as a transit for or a destination of Afghan opiates. The significant levels of opium poppy cultivation and illicit trafficking of opiates fuel instability, insurgency and increase funding to terrorist groups in Afghanistan.
The campaign in Poland against World War II memorials to Soviet officers and soldiers, who had liberated the country from the Nazi occupation, is gaining momentum. Warsaw has created a legal framework allowing the disposal of Soviet/Russian memorial objects or taking them out of public sight, including the most widespread monuments of gratitude to the Red Army. Why?
The situation in Syria is undergoing serious transformation. Due to the de-escalation process, it has now become possible to drastically reduce the level of violence, to improve the humanitarian situation as well as to fight terrorists more efficiently. The ISIS-controlled territory is shrinking. On 14-15 September, at the international meeting in Astana all four de-escalation zones were finalized.
The coup d'état in Kiev in February 2014 backed by the West tore up the constitutional space in Ukraine. The legitimate President of the country was overthrown. It was marked by a severe lack of democracy and violence that posed a direct threat to the well-being of Russian-speaking population of Crimea. Citizens of Crimea faced the choice of becoming an oppressed minority or severing their ties with the hostile regime to secure a future for themselves and their children. The decision to hold a referendum was made by legitimate local authorities. The independence of Crimea was proclaimed and an appeal to enter the Russian Federation was made based on the indisputable results of the popular vote. Standards of international law were fully observed as the right of nations to self-determination enshrined in the UN Charter was exercised freely by the Crimeans. Crimea was recognized as an independent and sovereign state by Russia and on 18 March 2014 in Moscow the two countries signed a Treaty of Unification, under which the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol became two new regions - subjects of the Russian Federation.
As part of the implementation of the conclusions of the NATO Summit in Warsaw, four multinational battlegroups have been deployed in Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia with the total number of troops exceeding 4500. The idea of creating similar rotating units in Bulgaria and Romania in 2018 is being widely discussed by NATO members. If put together, these battlegroups amount to a motorized infantry brigade with heavy weapons.

Tuesday we got a bit of a wake-up call. I'd had some heavy cramping for 5-6 days and even some contractions. Baby was moving like normal so I didn't worry much. But since it hadn't stopped by the morning - and after a quick chat with a friend at school drop-off - I decided to call my OB and see what they said. I thought for sure they'd tell me "it's nothing - just first time mom worries - go about your day" but instead they wanted me to come in and be checked, just to be safe.
As I gathered my things to leave the house panic crept into my mind. I suddenly felt TOTALLY unprepared for this sweet baby girl to arrive. My mind flooded with all that was still left to be done, and everything that would need to happen in the next few hours should she decide she was coming early (not to mention the fear that it was too early and I'd be sent to an Italian hospital). Her room wasn't ready, her bedding not sewn, sheets that were ordered were stuck in customs, car seat needed to be washed, Miles was at school, Nathan was at work, hospital bag wasn't packed, I hadn't typed my birth plan or finished my hospital admission paperwork. We would need our passports, birth certificates, and wedding license for her paperwork and I couldn't tell you where it was at the moment. My side of the bed was so messy I'd never be able to fit a pack and play there, and her crib wasn't ready. We had lightly discussed plans for Miles but had never asked anyone or set anything up officially. Her coming home outfit hadn't come in the mail yet - and it would probably be too big anyway. As I shoved my iPad, hospital paperwork, and a few snacks in my purse I rubbed my belly and told her she needed to stay put a bit longer. I called Nathan and he left work to meet me at the hospital.
Upon arrival at Labor & Delivery (which was so surreal on it's own) they took my vitals (BP was high) and hooked me up to a machine to monitor contractions and baby's heart rate. They also discussed with me some tests that they wanted to run to check some things out. Of course once I was hooked up the contractions stopped...I felt like a crazy woman who cried wolf. My OB came up to see me - he threw in a few more fat baby jokes, of course - and they ran the tests. Everything came back clean. They did an FFN, which tests the likelihood of you having a baby within the next two weeks, and it came back negative. They did an AmnioTest to see if I was leaking amniotic fluid...and it came back clean. They tested my pee for a UTI or other infection...clean. And last but not least a cervical check (ouch, seriously...) and I'm still all sealed up.
They think the contractions and cramps could have been from dehydration (I had a wicked sore throat last week for a few days...didn't drink as much as I need to), stress, and/or overexertion. I was told to take it easy - but not too easy. No bedrest or anything, normal activities just be sure I'm taking a little bit of time each day to put my feet up and relax.
I was super relieved that everything went well and she is staying put a wee bit longer. Living here brings complications that you don't have stateside. If I go into labor before 36 weeks I cannot deliver at the Navy hospital. They will send me out to an Italian hospital. The reason? We don't have a NICU. Our ER is also bare minimum...if you have a true trauma emergency you will also not be seen. It's a small hospital without the capabilities to take care of large scale traumas. Now an Italian hospital won't be like delivering in the dirt...but it is definitely a different experience than an American hospital. Hubbies aren't allowed in delivery rooms. They do not provide ANYTHING for you - no hand soap in the bathroom, no towels to dry your hands, no shower towels, no blankets for the bed...literally nothing but the bed and a sheet. They do provide some things for the baby...but you - the mommy - are on your own. Also - pain management is totally different. No epidurals (unless you have spoken with the anesthesiologist before...which wouldn't have happened if I were unexpectedly going into labor early), no pain meds...unless you have a C-section. So if I were to go into labor early not only would I have to pack a normal hospital bag I'd also need to run around the house grabbing towels, soap, shampoo, tissues, blankets, pillows, pads, pain meds, etc. NOT something I want to have to do. Plus she needs to cook more...I want her to be healthy.
You better believe that my nesting instinct kicked into high gear yesterday. According to the tests I have at least two weeks...but I've got a lot to do. I made a giant to-do list and got going. I filled out my intake paperwork (finally), cleaned through Miles' clothes, scheduled us for a couple of birthing classes, talked with Nathan about a plan for Miles, and much more. I've got even more on my list for today...I am determined to be ready for her, whenever she decides to come. But I'm hoping she makes it to Valentine's Day (37 weeks).

text: Lawyer who bilked LAO hoping to keep licenceJune 23, 2014|Written By Yamri Taddese A Grand Bend, Ont., lawyer has admitted to billing Legal Aid Ontario for contested trials that didn't happen, court dates that didn't take place, and criminal charges he never defended.A Law Society of Upper Canada hearing panel found William Kennedy guilty of professional misconduct on June 16 after he also admitted to accepting LAO certificates for clients he had previously represented as duty counsel, something generally prohibited by legal aid rules.LAO filed a complaint to the law society after it conducted two investigations into 20 randomly selected certificates handled by Kennedy. All 20 files contained problems that included "double or triple billing" as well as other inaccuracies, according to law society counsel Elaine Strosberg. At a hearing last week, Strosberg said Kennedy had overbilled LAO by $25,000, an amount based on the 20 investigated files out of 107 certificates he had handled. She noted LAO doesn't have the resources to look into all of the 107 cases.Kennedy billed LAO for |contested trials "where no trial occurred," seven indictment proceedings where the matter had proceeded summarily, and two bail hearings he didn't conduct. In one case, legal aid paid him for a matter he worked on as a per diem Crown attorney as opposed to defence counsel, said Strosberg.Kennedy, who attended the hearing via teleconference, admitted to the allegations contained in an agreed statement of facts.LAO has recovered about $13,000 of its losses by clawing back funds owed to Kennedy."While the lawyer has not paid the $11,876.52 balance that LAO has deemed owing, LAO hasn't taken any further steps to recover this money from the lawyer because it concluded the lawyer did not have the funds to repay this amount," the agreed statement of facts noted.The document also noted Kennedy had misunderstood the scope of an exemption that allows lawyers in Huron County to accept legal aid certificates for clients they also represented as duty counsel.The exemption for Huron County exists because of the lack of lawyers in that region, but according to the agreed statement of facts, Kennedy used that provision to represent clients outside of the region as well.The agreed statement of facts also noted Kennedy was unclear about LAO's tariffs for legal aid work."Since it began its online billing protocol, LAO has provided a lawyer and payment assistance service to assist lawyers with questions about how to bill for services rendered, but the lawyer has never availed himself of that service," said Strosberg.LAO removed Kennedy from its roster of lawyers after LAO president's designate George Biggar in 2009 found "strong factual evidence of misinformation and of deception in his accounts as submitted to LAO" following an investigation by investigator Gerald Rifkin. The law society hearing panel, chaired by Barbara Murchie, made a finding of professional misconduct on the same date as the hearing. It has set a penalty hearing for Aug. 19 and 21.The law society will be seeking revocation of Kennedy's licence. But Kennedy's counsel, Brian Radnoff, who's representing the lawyer on a pro bono basis, said he would call medical and character evidence to support a lesser penalty.Kennedy has no previous discipline record. Radnoff tells Law Times there's no criminal proceeding against Kennedy in the matter.Since 2005, LAO's online billing protocol has allowed lawyers to bill for services without providing detailed accounts and dockets except in exceptional circumstances. When they submit their bills online, lawyers acknowledge they've provided accurate accounts.LAO began its investigation into Kennedy's files after a supervisory duty counsel in Sarnia, Ont., complained that the lawyer had been accepting certificates from his duty counsel clients. Between January 2005 and September 2006, Kennedy represented 68 clients whom he had also assisted as duty counsel, according to LAO's investigation.In the past, the law society has disbarred lawyers who bilked LAO. In 2010, it took away lawyer Massimiliano Pecoraro's licence to practise law after finding he had bilked LAO out of $30,000.Pecoraro admitted to professional misconduct for knowingly overbilling LAO on 22 accounts related to 14 clients he represented between 2002 and 2005. He altered charge details to increase the tariff and billed for applications, motions, and even trial dates that never occurred to boost the number of allowable hours.In that case, Pecoraro had paid back all of the funds in question to LAO. That case hinged on the credit he should receive for co-operating with a law society investigation and paying back the money to LAO. The panel struggled with the question of whether disbarring lawyers who had paid back the money would discourage others from doing the same.But in the end, the panel decided disbarment was the only decision it could arrive at."Under the circumstances of this case, revocation of licence is the only conclusion we can come to," panel chairman Gerald Swaye said at the time.In 1989, the law society disbarred former lawyer Harry Kopyto for overbilling Ontario's legal aid plan by $150,000. The regulator also took away Angelina Codina's licence after it found she had charged LAO $20,000 for services never rendered. Codina also received a six-month sentence in a separate criminal proceeding related to the matter. For more, see "Sad day for disbarred lawyer" and "Angelina Codina facing legal troubles again."

PyFlatter brings automatic color flatting to Linux! "Color flatting" is the process of adding color shapes to black-and-white linework. Traditionally this was done manually, but computers can handle the task pretty well, using random colors that can easily be replaced with the correct colors later. Plugins to do this in Photoshop have been around for a while, but us Linux fans have been out of luck–until now!
PyFlatter uses the Python Image Library and ImageMagick to automate color flatting right from the Linux user's favorite tool–the command line! Just give it your linework and out comes a lovely set of color flats, ready to be imported into the image editor of your choice.
Get it now on GitHub!
- Gap handling PyFlatter will attempt to overlook any gaps in your linework so that shapes don't need to be completely enclosed to be filled in.
- Voronoi fill To ensure complete coverage, the color islands expand to fill the black areas of your image.
- Temporary scaling To speed up the voronoi process, the script can operate on a smaller version of the image, then scale it up to the correct size when it's done.
In the first image, you can see the default settings (gap handling and voronoi fill enabled). In the second image, gap handling has been disabled: the lemur is no longer separated from the background. In the third image, gap handling is enabled but voronoi fill is disabled, leaving ugly white artifacts in the colors! In the fourth image, the voronoi fill has been processed at a 10% scale factor, which speeds up the process but causes jagged edges and misalignments in the islands. (A higher scale factor would have reduced the severity of this.)
It's very easy: pyflatter.py inputfile.png and you're off! You can also use these nifty options:
– -g Disable gap handling
– -v Disable voronoi fill
– -s 50 Voronoi scale factor. Change 50 to whatever percentage you desire.
- Your input image must have black and white pixels only–no gray pixels allowed! Use the Threshold tool in your favorite image editor to accomplish this, and save in a lossless format such as PNG.
- The higher the resolution, the slower the voronoi process will be. If you have a big image (say, more than 2000 pixels in either dimension), it may take a very long time. To compensate, either turn voronoi off entirely or set a smaller scale factor, such as 50%.
- Right now the output file is always a PNG. Hopefully that's not too inconvenient for anyone.
- Images with cross-hatching are not handled well:
- 1.1
- Improved PEP 8 conformity.
- Eliminated need for ImageMagick to support pipes.
- Made temp files get written to /tmp instead of working directory.
- 1.0
- Initial version
But I want to run it on Windows!
Maybe in the future, young padawan. But the time is not yet ripe.
Credit where credit is due
Thanks to fmw42 on the ImageMagick forums for helping me figure out how to get the voronoi working, and Snibgo for showing me the workaround for pipes.
Tell me again where to download it?
It's on GitHub.

We all love Marbella for the amazing style of living we have or aspire to… and the fun of enjoying the many varied shops, bars and restaurants in the town.. as well as utilizing the many sports facilities and fabulous beaches during the main spring, summer and autumn seasons.
For those of us who live in Marbella we like the idea that our residences are quiet, tranquil locations where we can relax but that are not too far away from everything we need to survive in our daily routines… school runs and shopping….
One of our finest shopping resources on the Costa del Sol is La Cañada Commercial Centre and is just a five minute drive from some of the best urbanizations in the Marbella area such as Samara, Rio Real and Los Monteros.
It features over 150 shops and restaurants and there is something for everyone in the family. Located off the Marbella bypass, Marbella's largest shopping centre cannot be missed. A major advantage to visitors is the ample free parking and the addition of La Cañada has made other shopping centers in the region raise their game, which benefits us all.
Just some of the prominent clothing stores are Mango, Blanco, Tommy Hilfiger, Ranger, Zara Man Woman and Kids, Oysho, Lacoste, G Star RAW, Bershka, Levis, Marks and Spencer, Benetton, Evans, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Topshop and Topman, H&M, Adolfo Dominguez, Pepe Jeans, Springfield, Pedro del Hierro, S'fera, Pull and Bear, Cortifiel, Purification Garcia, Quicksilver, Golden Point, Accessorize, C&A, Marypaz, Pysco Shoes and Woman's Secret. While kids are catered for with clothes and toys to be found in Chicco, Okaidi, Imaginarium and the Alcampo supermarket. While Golf USA and Base Sport provide every sporting requirement with FNAC and Worten home to electronic goods as well as reading and craft material.
La Cañada also features many top furniture and household stores, jewellers and glasses shops as well as a bowling alley and cinema not to mention a wide array of restaurants so if you like shopping you will love La Canada.

I can't believe it's been two years since this happened! Time to revisit my Glimpses of God posts.
I often feel more evidence of God's presence during difficult times. Maybe I'm just more aware of what actually goes on around me every day, or my radio dial gets tuned in quicker during trauma. Maybe I just pay more attention when my legs get kicked out from under me.
Labor Day weekend was my 35th class reunion and my high school besties and I decided to make a girls weekend of it. We got stranded in a bar for several hours (a long and humorous story for another time) and played the game, "Tell me a Story." This is a game I invented when I was young to entertain my little sister on long road trips. In this game, someone gives you a word or phrase and you have to tell a true story about your life related to that prompt. My friend gave me the word "Terror." I laughed and said, "I'm not sure what the story will be, but I'm positive it will have something to do with my kids." Kids have a way of pushing our fear buttons faster than anything I can think of.
Driving home from the weekend, I got a first-hand look at another form of terror. I was driving up the Sierra Nevada Mountains at night when I came upon a pick-up truck stopped in my lane with no lights on. Instant decision: plow into him or try to miss him. I swerved left, over corrected right and plowed head on into the guard rail at 65 mph. I won't go on about all that happened next. I won't tell you how I found out the guy in the truck was a four-time DUI offender and plastered. I won't tell you about his wasted female passenger who I thought was coming up to ask if I was okay, but instead asked for a ride to the next town. Or the sheer miracle of how I walked away alive and unbroken even though my car was totaled and sitting in the same lane as the truck. I will say that I finally had the clarity to get out of my car and onto the side of the road. Then Brain-Trust in the truck opened his door so an oncoming car could take it off and fling it at me. At that moment I had an epiphany: I felt terrified! I knew that if I ever got asked that question again playing Tell Me a Story, I'd have an answer.
But, I do want to mention a glimpse of God I got that night.
The tow-truck driver dropped me and all my worldly goods, including my grand-baby's car seat, at an all-night gas station in a small mountain town. It was a warm night and there was a man sitting on the bench where I was deposited. He was sipping a soda and smoking a cigarette. After noting my arrival he asked if there was a baby in the accident. I assured him there was not and we started chatting. It was very comforting to have someone to talk to. He told me of his life as a journalist in the bay area.
After about an hour I asked, "Why are you here?" I mean, it was about nine-thirty by then and he seemed content to sit and talk to me. He said he managed an apartment complex down the road and came here to get away from the noise. As the temp cooled he even got me a shirt from his car to cover my bare arms.
When my frazzled husband arrived around ten-thirty, my nameless angel got up to leave. "Thank you for staying with me," I said, knowing that sentiment was inadequate for the situation.
"I just wanted someone to be with you until your husband arrived," he said, shrugging as he walked away – just an every-day hero, just a glimpse of God. I wondered as we drove away, if he was real or a soda sipping, cigarette smoking angel? It didn't matter, he was exactly what I needed in that moment and I was grateful.
There is a part two to this story, where the terror and the glimpses both crank up about a hundred notches. If you are a careful reader you will know where this is headed. But…since I'm still in the middle of this one I think I'll wait a bit for that post.
Let me know of times you've seen glimpses of God.

As part of our FATCA IGA litigation in Canada's Federal Court, Our three Plaintiffs previously provided financial information to the Government lawyers on their accounts. However, Government submitted a motion to compel Plaintiffs to provide additional very detailed financial information.

This is a transcript from the FATCA Hearing held in Washington D.C on April 26, 2017.
I think it is interesting to actually read the testimonies that we heard that day. Some of the more striking aspects seem even more shocking and the mistakes stick out like sore thumbs……………..All emphases are mine – Patricia Moon
Hands Down this is the Worst Academic Piece About FATCA ever Written

We are thinking of Lynne (Blaze)
As many of you know, Lynne (Blaze) has been, from the very beginning, one of our strongest and tireless defenders of the Charter rights of Canadians opposed to our Government's compliance with the foreign FATCA law. As part of our FATCA IGA litigation in Canada's Federal Court Lynne acts as the Chair of the Litigation Committee of ADCS.
My sad news is that Lynne is now at the University Hospital in London Ontario. She was in the ICU but has now been transferred out of this unit.
From the hospital Lynne is already sending us emails about her thoughts on FATCA etc. and provided this update on Maple Sandbox:
"Thanks everyone for your positive thoughts. I was transferred last night from ICU to Neurology. Tonight a doc diagnosed me with epilepsy. I do not need that after all the challenges of 36 years of M.S.! She said I will probably lose my drivers's license.
I was on a ventilator for a few days while I was in ICU–even though my Living Will clearly says no ventilator, dialysis, etc.
I didn't check my e-mails for a few days and I am just working my way through 98. If you are one of them, I apologize for not responding to you."
We all wish her a speedy recovery, and it might be nice if you could share your thoughts on this post.
May 23, 2017- Vancouver -Solving U.S.Citizenship Problems
U.S. source-of-interest rules, part one: how the U.S. does residence-based taxation (very badly, with lots of traps)
On Twitter, Andrew Grossman mentioned Housden v. Commissioner, 63 T.C.M. 2063 (1992). Mr. Housden, a partner of famous Canadian architecture firm WZMH, got a loan from the Royal Bank of Canada. He later moved to the U.S. to operate a WZMH subsidiary, and made some payments on the loan from 1980 until 1983 — meaning that RBC earned interest income "from sources within the United States" within the meaning of 26 USC § 871(a)(1).
The U.S. Tax Court ruled that when an individual resident of the United States has borrowed money from a non-U.S. bank, the individual is supposed to be the withholding agent for the 30% tax on interest income earned by the bank under § 871(a). So Housden had to pay that 30% out of his own pocket and try on his own to get it back from RBC. The only relief for Housden was that he didn't get hit with penalties for underpayment or failure to file required forms, since two famous nests of compliance condors — first Deloitte, later the now-defunct Laventhol & Horwath — failed to warn him about his withholding obligations until he was already being audited.
Brockers with local mortgages or credit cards are probably about to panic upon reading this. Fortunately, the IRS suggested in 1992 regulations that an individual interest payor should probably only be considered a "resident of the United States" if the individual meets the substantial presence test (SPT), regardless of citizenship. As Phil Hodgen pointed out two years ago, the IRS confirmed this view in (non-precedential) Chief Counsel Advice in 2012. So if you have lived in another country for your entire adult life, IRS lawyers do not seem to think they can reasonably interpret § 871 or its regulations to grab 30% of all your mortgage payments.
In other words, this is a tiny island of residence-based sanity in the citizenship-based "Internal" Revenue Code — well, almost. Nothing involving the U.S. tax system can ever be as simple as it sounds.

While this particular post is not about a tax-compliance professional per sé, it IS about a person with whom many of us have had interactions and from whom we have been assured we WILL BE CAUGHT in one way or another. Given that, I find it extremely ironic to come across what follows in this post. How many of you who have paid a retainer or left any other type of funds when using a lawyer, ever worry about that person absconding with it?

May 15 2017 Response of some Witnesses [Including those of FATCA supporter Elise Bean] to U.S. House Subcommittee with recommendations to "improve legal framework" of FATCA
[May 18 2017 update: I now include in this LINK the recommendations of Elise Bean, a long-time FATCA supporter and witness at the FATCA hearing.]
On April 26 2017 there was a Hearing at the U.S. House Subcommittee on Government Operations dealing with the harm caused by the U.S. FATCA law imposed on the world.
At the conclusion of the hearing, Chairman Meadows asked the Witnesses for "three recommendations on how to improve the legal framework set up by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act" (FATCA).
My personal-only interpretation of this request is that the Chair is saying something like: "If FATCA has to be replaced with something else, can you recommend three compromise laws/approaches that would achieve the "good" aims of FATCA but minimize the harm, and which would receive bipartisan support?"
— I enclose as a link the May 15, 2017 submitted personal recommendations of Jim Bopp, a witness and attorney for the U.S. FATCA/IGA/FBAR lawsuit currently pending in United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (I am one of the plaintiffs).
From the Bopp text:
"This letter provides three recommendations on how to improve the legal framework set up by the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA").
First, we recommend that any taxation of overseas Americans comply with established United States constitutional principles and international legal norms.
Second, we recommend that the current laws be repealed in their entirety [Bopp goes on to include specifically FATCA, IGAs, FBAR, and citizenship-based taxation] and certain proposals rejected.
Third, we recommend that Congress enact a 1099 requirement on foreign banks, established by treaty, as long as this complies with established United States constitutional principles and international legal norms…"
—- Appended to the end of the Bopp recommendations are my personal thoughts as a separate submission: I support, as does Mr. Bopp, the repeal in entirety of FATCA, FBAR, IGAs, and citizenship-based taxation (the latter to be replaced with territorial/residence-based taxation), do not support any "watered-down" FATCA-replacement legislation whatsoever — which I believe will continue the harm, and offer suggestions on changing U.S. citizenship laws in the very limited context of FATCA harm. In hindsight, I now feel that I should have gone further in my recommendations for citizenship law changes.
—- When I receive the recommendations of strong FATCA supporter Elise Bean, a hearing witness, I will post.
— Ongoing developments: Republicans Overseas has initiated an intensive lobbying campaign with Congress to kill citizenship-based taxation and replace with territorial taxation. There can be no promise of success, but these people are trying. I am not aware of similar efforts on the Democrat side.
May 13, 2017 Canadian Federal Court FATCA IGA lawsuit update: Motion for Summary Trial now submitted
"…The government of Canada has a responsibility to stand up for its citizens when foreign governments are encroaching on their rights…We believe that the deal reached between Canada and the U.S. is insufficient to protect affected Canadians…" June 2015 Pre-Election statement of Mr. Justin Trudeau (now Prime Minister of the Government we are suing) to a constituent
May 13 2017 Canadian FATCA Litigation Update:
SUMMARY TRIAL MOTION has now been submitted on Constitutional/Charter issues. We are finally moving closer to trial and our Vancouver litigators have now served and filed in Canada's Federal Court a "Notice of Motion for Summary Trial".
As detailed in this brief motion (see link) this is a pleading to the Federal Court of Canada for a summary judgement we are seeking on the Constitutional-Charter issues.
We argue in the motion that the Canadian legislation enabling the FATCA Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) violates Canada's Constitution Act (by forfeiting Canada's sovereignty and facilitating the extra-territorial enforcement of a foreign state's taxation and tax compliance regime on Canadians) and Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Sections 7, 8, and 15).
Some of you do not consent to be "U.S. Persons". There is this statement in the Motion:
"The contours of United States citizenship and the definition of US Person are matters of United States law and/or policy and are subject to be changed by the United States at any time."
There is also this:
"It is a principle of international law that every sovereign state has the right to conduct its affairs without intervention by other states (the "Principle of Non-Intervention"). The Principle of Non-Intervention is at the core of the international legal order and is a corollary of every state's right to sovereignty, territorial integrity and political Independence. The Principle of Non-Intervention is an element of the unwritten constitution."
Will the Federal Court of Canada accept this Constitutional argument?
This motion is NOT the main, detailed legal submission (i.e., where all of the case law is discussed, etc.) which will be filed much closer to the hearing date (yet to be decided).
AFFIDAVITS. You will notice on pages 22-23 a long list of affidavit titles. Because of a technical issue related to the litigation, it is not possible to publish the text of these affidavits at the present time.
Some of the affidavits include those we previously submitted and those Government submitted – which we feel will help our case.
There are also expert reports from three witnesses (Ryan Liss, Roy Berg, Kevyn Nightingale) who were selected by our litigators to provide an expert opinion based on our litigators' assessment of their expertise and experience.
In addition, there are affidavits listed from lay witnesses.
Our litigators made a strategic decision on the selection of specific lay witnesses for the trial from the larger group of volunteers. I thank the lay witnesses and all witness volunteers for their courage and commitment to push for return of Canada to Canadians.
LIKELY NEXT STEPS. On May 19, 2017 there will be a teleconference with Government, Case Management Judge, and our side to deal with the Government Motion to compel further documents from the three plaintiffs (we oppose the motion).
After the ruling, Examinations for Discovery of the three expert witnesses and the plaintiffs will be scheduled and conducted. Our lawyers will likewise examine the Attorney General's witnesses. It is also possible that the Attorney General might examine our lay witnesses. We currently do not know if they will elect to do so.
Upon completion of the all examinations of the parties, and after filing all required submissions, we will await a trial date to be set by the court. Trial dates are dependent on the availability of Justices and court (backlog) schedules.
I know that the slow pace of our litigation is frustrating. Thank you for your continued support and kind thoughts.

Perils & Pitfalls of Being a Green Card Holder
I am posting this comment of Gary Clueit that appeared on the Robert Wood article couple of days ago. Over the past few months, we have "met" Gary on FB, Twitter etc. Especially the Wednesday Tweet Rally- A group that just keeps on giving!!
by Gary Clueit
The article provides a good, if brief, overview of the perils and pitfalls of being a green card holder. The reality is somewhat bleaker.
As a long-term green card holder with no way to escape "covered expatriate" status should I decide the leave the US, I must point out a few of the other insidious side effects of being the holder of a residence permit.
If a green card holder were to decide to leave and relinquish his or her green card, here are some the issues they face in a bit more detail:
Determining the $2M net worth threshold does not cover any assets that the person might have had before ever moving to the US or assets received after taking up residence due to bequests from relatives that have never set foot in the US. The net worth amount signed into law in 2004 and was, I believe, related to the estate tax, despite being less than half the amount of the estate tax (which is indexed whereas the expatriation exit tax threshold is not). Anyone who has diligently saved for retirement and owned houses in San Francisco, Seattle or other major cities over the past dozen or so years can quite easily reach the $2M threshold. It does not make you "rich" by any stretch of the imagination. The non-indexed $2M figure simply appears to be a punitive amount designed to punish anyone for daring to want to leave the US.
Even after paying the exit tax on the "deemed sale" of everything you own worldwide, you will have to pay actual capital gains when you do actually sell since no tax treaty provides a credit for a deemed sale of anything. Outright double taxation. For example, if I own a house in Toronto and sell under normal conditions, I will pay capital gains tax on any profit in Canada. When filing my US tax return I will get a credit for the tax paid to Canada resulting in a single tax bite. However, if I own the Toronto property on the day of expatriation, the US taxes me on any paper profit. Since I have not actually sold the property, there is nothing to declare to Canada's Revenue Agency (CRA) at that time. When I do eventually sell, CRA will then tax the actual profit, but there is no ability to get a credit from the IRS since expatriation is a terminating event.
After departure and payment of the exit tax, every penny of any bequest or gift you make to someone resident in the US (e.g. a child, grandchild or friend, even if they are not US citizens) is then further taxed at a flat 40%. Because this tax is imposed on the recipient, there is no opportunity to offset estate, wealth or inheritance taxes that might be imposed on the estate of the deceased person by another country even when there is a treaty in effect. Here is where it gets really interesting: assume your net worth is $2.5M on the date of expatriation, you pay the exit tax. Let us also assume that your wealth increases to $250M AFTER you leave the US due to hard work and good luck. If your heirs live in the US (again, whether citizens or not) and you leave all that wealth to them, the entire $250M estate will be taxable to them at 40% regardless of the fact that 99% of your wealth at the time of death was created outside the US and after you had ceased to be a resident. By what stretch of any imagination is this fair or equitable on either the expatriate or their US resident heirs?
Most foreign tax treaties contain tie-breaker clauses to prevent double taxation of those living abroad. However, if a green card holder is living overseas (on assignment, for example) and elects to use a tax treaty benefit to avoid double taxation, that in itself is considered an expatriating act.
I will point out that most of the above situations also apply to US citizens who decide to give up their citizenship, as well as to Accidental Americans who are compulsory citizens simply by being born in the US but who may never have lived, been educated in or worked in the country. The fundamental difference between the citizen and green card holder is that a citizen can only lose their citizenship through the proactive step of filing Form DS-4079. This might at least provide some ability to time events to minimize the tax consequences. A green card holder can voluntarily relinquish their card too. However, a green card holder may be denied re-entry into the US simply by staying out of the country for more than 1 year. Even a re-entry permit, applied for before leaving, is only valid for 2 years and is not be renewable. As a result, a 2 year and 1 month overseas assignment for a green card holder can result in refusal to enter upon return. You then have the alien(!) situation where you are not allowed to reside in the US by action of Customs and Border Protection, but are still considered a US resident by the IRS and still subject to FBAR, FATCA, PFIC, CFC filing requirements and taxation on your worldwide assets. Or at least until you explicitly relinquish the green card or the IRS finds out you are no longer living in the US at which point it becomes an involuntary expatriation and immediately invokes the expatriation regime and tax based on the date you were denied entry back into the US. Why is the ability to time any expatriation important? Take the case of your primary residence. If you plan to expatriate, you make sure you sell your house before that event to ensure that up to $250K profit is not taxable. If you are involuntarily expatriated for any reason, there is no tax break because you have not actually sold the house. The paper profit from the deemed sale will be added to your taxable base subject to the exit tax. When you do sell in the future, you may well be subject to tax on that profit from your new country of residence.
Even while a green card holder resides in the US, they are subject to discrimination. Besides never being allowed to vote (not really an issue since presumably one never desired to be a citizen), they are still expected to pay taxes on worldwide income (not really an issue either since almost every OECD country taxes worldwide income now). The real problems arise in estate planning:

Hi Lovelies!
It don't know how long it's been… probably like a week, but it feels like ages since I last logged into my blog because I've been super busy.
Anyway. today's post is one about journaling and my experience of writing a diary, so lets go!
I have been writing a diaries a lot of my life, I have a few from when I was about 7 and another load from when I was about 9 but I also did the occasional diary in between those ages. Before I was 11, though, I only wrote about a maximum of 2 weeks then dumped that diary somewhere, so therefore I have lots of unfinished diaries around my room! When I was 11 I started writing a proper diary… and now I'm onto my third book because I've already filled up two!
The first diary I completed took me almost exactly a year to finish (from August 2015 to August 2016) and to be honest it was actually one of my greatest achievements! It was quite a big diary with a front cover saying 'It's what's inside that counts' surrounded by flowers. At first I didn't intend for it to be a diary, just a book for doodles but I guess it progressed into a quick comment on what I did that day to a journal where I could write whatever was on my mind. So, yeah, it basically became my diary that I'd take everywhere with me, it would be my escape and just somewhere to express myself.
A year later, once I'd filled that one up I had to do one of my favourite things… journal shopping!! It was actually surprisingly hard to find a perfect diary which lived up to my expectations, I wasted too much money on dairies which I just discarded because they didn't feel right. Until one day I was actually book shopping when I saw this amazing notepad. It had old cameras on the front and was just the right size so I decided that instead of spending like 10 pounds on a book, I'd spend it all on my new diary! This was then my new journal and it lasted from the end of September up until about a week ago. I think I will always remeber this journal as being the journal where I did actually truely express myself and didn't hold anything back, I didn't need to be scared that someone would judge me because, well, I didn't intend for anyone to read it's content.
And finally I'm on my third diary which I've only written a couple of pages in but I'm thoroughly enjoying it, I'm trying to make this diary a bit neater and more appealing and colourful!
So, this post has kinda got a bit too long so I'm going to make a part 2 about why I love journaling ect.
Thanks for reading!

We are planning to run a workshop on making Simone's unique hearts and stars in time for Valentines Day. Simone was the originator of the woven willow hearts and stars now seen in glossy gardening and countryside magazines and on other peoples websites. From what we have seen other 'willow weavers' offering for these workshops their creations are pretty poor imitations of Simone's original designs.
As Cumbria's longest established willow weavers we have decided to begin running workshops in the Carlisle and Kendal area due to popular demand from people meeing us at the local events that we display at.

Kalpana Patowary has been crusading for Bhojpuri music for a long time. She said that, I was introduced to this music culture in 2002 and since then its been 2016 now, almost 14 years. From 2002 till 2016 i have been listening to two things. One, vulgarity in Bhojpuri music and the other is Inclusion of Bhojpuri language in the 8th Amendment schedule of our constitution.
Controversy was there right from the beginning – Gawanawa leija Rajaji…. One song which became an anthem – Ego Chumma Lela Rajaji. Some said its was mere an expression of a loving wife,other said its not our culture,our bahu – beti will not express their feelings in such a bold way. While the whole nation was enjoying, some political manipulative industry persons couldn't resist Kalpana as she was an outsider geographically. Yes, she is neither from UP or Bihar. Being from Assam how can she become so popular-this thought itself was a threat for many and their hatred was at its peak as we witnessed her effigy burning publicly in BALLIA, UP. They insulted her purely on the basis of their own opinion and not on facts.
But nothing could stop her………as not many artists can take credit for being change-makers. You have to have courage and the belief in oneself to look beyond traditions and carve a unique niche for yourself and shut down haters in style.
I have introduced Bhojpuri folk music to prestigious Mtv@CokeStudio, India's biggest and Happiest music festival Nh7 Weekender, Paddy Fields and many more. But still now Bhojpuri music is struggling to gain respect in its own states by its own people.
Today BHOJPURI has given me so much that i can't think of how to compensate back. Says Kalpana, with god's grace it's been a very beautiful journey.
She said this in Patna to Tv Channels when she was asked about why Bhojpuri music is not included in most of the prestigious festivals organised by the state Tourism and culture departments in UP & Bihar. There is a growing and justifiable discontent and anger amongst Bhojpuri artists as the state cultural departments are not including Bhojpuri artists in these festivals. Instead they are inviting Bollywood artists in these local festivals.
Kalpana Patowary has come forward in support of inclusion of Bhojpuri language in the 8th schedule of the Indian Constitution.
"Bhojpuri is an international language which is not only spoken in Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern UP, Madhya Pradesh and other parts of India, but also in countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, Mauritius and parts of Nepal and Bangladesh. We demand the inclusion of Bhojpuri language in the 8th schedule of the Constitution. she said.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are adequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, talented and fabulous?' Actually who are you not to be? Your playing small and self-accusatory doesn't serve the world."

In fact, it is an elliptic sandbar in the Liwan District of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. Shamian, means "sandy surface" in Chinese. Get further and you will find that the island is planned in a rigorous thought.

During the period of the second Opium Wars (1856-1860), Shamian became a strategic point for city defense. As a result of the war, the territory was divided into two concessions, given to France and United Kingdom (of which 4/5 went to the British and 1/5 to the French) in 1859. It was then embanked and offered with streets, drainage, and imposing buildings and became base to a prosperous foreign enclave. During the period of the late 1800s to the early 1900s, construction of the most of the public facilities were completed, including political buildings like consulates, cultural buildings like churches and schools, as well as commercial buildings like banks and firms.
After 1949, the edifices of Shamian became government offices or apartment houses. As for the cultural buildings, churches were turned into factories. After that, they were restored, in many cases to their former splendor. You needn't worry about the change of purpose about buildings. Taking this into account, each building has a label telling its former purpose. You may begin to imagine what stories these building held according to the plaque writing about its previous function. For example, "No.7 North Shamian Avenue" was built during the Republican period and was formerly the Administration Bureau of Broadcasting of the Nationalist Government. The mansions in Shamian is influenced and preserved by Western Europe style building complex in China.

Especially the White Swan Hotel, nest to the Consulate of United States in Guangzhou What & Where to buy in China in Guangzhou and convenient to file paperwork and handle bureaucratic matters, has become a hotel of choice. You can enjoy the convenience it brings.

One of the world's most respected scientists has said that there is scientific proof that points to the existence of God.
According to the Geophilosophical Association of Anthropological and Cultural Studies, scientist Michio Kaku, who is known as one of the developers of the revolutionary String Theory, stated, "I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence."
In a video Kaku explains, using physics and mathematics and referencing String Theory, how science points to the existence of God.
The very purpose of physics, says Kaku is "to find an equation … which will allow us to unify all the forces of nature and allow us to read the mind of God."

3D Systems
With the launch of their new professional grade SLS and SLA machinery, 3D Systems engaged The Artificial to redesign their existing on-machine interfaces to be touch compatible. The two printers, despite employing different printing techniques and processes, were an opportunity for 3D Systems to align their digital interfaces under a single cohesive design language.
Supporting professional users with digital tools
Machine operators spend hours every day with these interfaces, the data they view is complex, and the controls are numerous to offer precise control. In addition to the complexity of the general interaction, the design also had to accomodate many procedural dependencies and safety restrictions. For these products, there were no edge cases, and the least likely scenerarios had to be given as much attention as the most common.
Creating a solution of carefully interlocking pieces
We created a series of cards and tiles to hold the various visualizations and controls—a single system that could expand and reorganize depending on the type of machine and use scenario. Through this process, we worked closely with machine operators and developers to ensure no functionality was forgotten and that the nuances of each machine were appropriately captured.
Documenting our learnings for consistency in future development
Having tested the design with two different products, we could confidently propose solutions to be carried forward to other professional- and production-grade 3D printing machines. Along with documenting solutions for controls and UI patterns, we also captured rules for visualizing 3D objects on screen.
