The up and down Iran nuclear talks appear to be in a down cycle as negotiators prepare to meet tomorrow in Moscow. Difficult talks in Baghdad last month were followed by contentious comments on both sides. And all this as new oil sanctions against Iran are due to take effect July 1st. NPR's Peter Kenyon has more from Moscow.
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: This will be the second consecutive set of talks hosted by an Iranian ally, but that doesn't seem to be bringing Tehran any closer to its most important goals - easing economic sanctions that are slowly strangling its economy, and getting the international side to admit that Iran has the right to enrich its own uranium. In a recent interview with the BBC, Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Ali Ashgar Soltanieh, reverted to an earlier stage of Iranian rhetoric. He insisted that sanctions are hurting ordinary citizens but not the nuclear program, which at this stage mainly involves building centrifuges to enrich more uranium.
ALI ASHGAR SOLTANIEH: None of the sanctions have had any effect on nuclear activities, because all 90 pieces of centrifuges are manufactured by our own. And the report of the Director-General IAEA shows: anytime they impose sanctions, the number of centrifuge machines were increased and the work accelerated.
KENYON: Western analysts say the sanctions have slowed the nuclear program in some ways, not to mention cyberattacks and the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists. But the evidence of Iran's growing stockpile of uranium enriched to nearly 20 percent, well on the way to weapons-grade, is irrefutable. A June 15th report from the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security highlighted the enrichment going on at Iran's underground facility at Fordo, saying that work is shortening the theoretical time it might take Iran to build a weapon if it chose to do so, thereby increasing the chance of a confrontation. The international demands made to Iranian negotiators in Baghdad included stopping the work at Fordo and getting rid of Iran's 20 percent enriched uranium. But other analysts believe the short-term risk of a military strike is small. Mehdi Khaliji, now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, studied Shiite theology at the holy city of Qom. He says it's not just American political analysts who believe that the Obama administration is determined to keep the Iran issue under control during the election campaign. Khaliji says the leadership in Tehran has made the same calculation.
MEHDI KHALIJI: They closely and carefully watch domestic politics of United States. At least before November, Iranian regime feels that they have time, they are not in rush.
KENYON: Khaliji says in the longer term, the pain of sanctions might force Tehran to make nuclear concessions, but certainly not before November, when they'll be interested to see who wins.
KHALIJI: They believe that President Obama is not willing to launch a military attack before November. On the other hand, if he cut an important deal with Iran and wouldn't get elected in November, the next president may undo things. For all these reasons, they believe that before November nothing important happens.
KENYON: But for Iran's oil sector, something important is about to happen. New European sanctions are due to hit already-sagging oil and gas revenues. It will take an unexpected diplomatic breakthrough to change that trajectory, and hardliners on both sides are trying to keep that from happening. Recently, both Iranian and U.S. lawmakers sent strongly worded messages to their leaders, demanding that no concessions be made in these talks. Peter Kenyon, NPR News, Moscow.

General Exhortations. 1Finally, brothers, we earnestly ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus that, as you received from us how you should conduct yourselves to please God—and as you are conducting yourselves—you do so even more. 2For you know what instructions* we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
Holiness in Sexual Contact.* 3This is the will of God, your holiness: that you refrain from immorality, 4that each of you know how to acquire a wife for himself in holiness and honor, 5not in lustful passion as do the Gentiles who do not know God;a 6not to take advantage of or exploit a brother in this matter, for the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you before and solemnly affirmed. 7For God did not call us to impurity but to holiness. 8Therefore, whoever disregards this, disregards not a human being but God, who [also] gives his holy Spirit to you.b
Mutual Charity. 9On the subject of mutual charity you have no need for anyone to write you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.c 10Indeed, you do this for all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Nevertheless we urge you, brothers, to progress even more,d 11and to aspire to live a tranquil life, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your [own] hands, as we instructed you, 12that you may conduct yourselves properly toward outsiders and not depend on anyone.
Hope for the Christian Dead. 13We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep.e 15Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,* will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep.f 16For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.g 17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together* with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18Therefore, console one another with these words.
* [4:2] Instructions: these include specific guidelines on the basis of the Lord's authority, not necessarily sayings Jesus actually uttered. More profoundly, as 1 Thes 4:8 implies, the instructions are practical principles that Paul worked out in accordance with his understanding of the role of the Spirit.
* [4:3–8] Many think that this passage deals with a variety of moral regulations (fornication, adultery, sharp business practices). It can be more specifically interpreted as bringing general norms to bear on a specific problem, namely, marriage within degrees of consanguinity (as between uncle and niece) forbidden in Jewish law but allowed according to a Greek heiress law, which would insure retention of an inheritance within the family and perhaps thereby occasion divorce. In that case, "immorality" (1 Thes 4:3) should be rendered as "unlawful marriage" and "this matter" (1 Thes 4:6) as "a lawsuit." The phrase in 1 Thes 4:4, "acquire a wife for himself," has often been interpreted to mean "control one's body."
* [4:15] Coming of the Lord: Paul here assumes that the second coming, or parousia, will occur within his own lifetime but insists that the time or season is unknown (1 Thes 5:1–2). Nevertheless, the most important aspect of the parousia for him was the fulfillment of union with Christ. His pastoral exhortation focuses first on hope for the departed faithful, then (1 Thes 5:1–3) on the need of preparedness for those who have to achieve their goal.
* [4:17] Will be caught up together: literally, snatched up, carried off; cf. 2 Cor 12:2; Rev 12:5. From the Latin verb here used, rapiemur, has come the idea of "the rapture," when believers will be transported away from the woes of the world; this construction combines this verse with Mt 24:40–41 (see note there) // Lk 17:34–35 and passages from Revelation in a scheme of millennial dispensationalism.
a. [4:5] Ps 79:6; Jer 10:25; 2 Thes 1:8; 1 Pt 3:7.
c. [4:9] Jn 6:45; 13:34; 1 Jn 2:20–21, 27; 4:7.
d. [4:10] 2 Thes 3:6–12.
e. [4:14] 1 Cor 15:3–4, 12, 20.
f. [4:15] 1 Cor 15:51; Rev 14:13; 20:4–6.
g. [4:16] Mt 24:31; 1 Cor 15:23, 52.

How it works
- We review your case with you, for FREE
- If your constitutional rights have been violated (under the FDCPA or FCRA), we'll help you to get a settlement/compensation from GC Services
- They'll stop harassing you, plus will have to pay you any awarded money (and your attorney fees). Meaning you never have to pay us a dime from your own pocket.
Who is 866-800-1472?
866-800-1472 belongs to GC Services. They're a debt collector reporting a collection account on your credit report.
This can mean 2 things:
- They've purchased your debt from the original creditor (such as a credit card company), and they're now calling you to collect that debt.
- They don't own the debt themselves, but are being paid to collect on behalf of another company.
The worst part is you now have a collections account on your credit report, which will be hurting your score. It also lowers your chances of being approved for credit (at least with good interest rates).
How do we use the law to get 866-800-1472 to stop calling you?
We use the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which is the primary federal law that governs debt collection practices. Its key purpose is to prohibit debt collectors from using abusive, unfair or deceptive practices in order to collect your debt.
Some common violations of the FDCPA are:
- Called you about a debt you don't owe (or that doesn't belong to you)
- Called you during work hours, after you told them you cannot receive calls during work
- Left you a message without identifying themselves
- Left you a message without disclosing they're a debt collection company
- Called 3rd parties (friends, family, coworkers, etc) even though they've got your contact information
- Disclosed your debt to 3rd parties
- Threatened you with legal action (generally a lawsuit or wage garnishment)
- Called you before 8am or after 9pm
- Contacted you after you filed for bankruptcy
- Failed to mark your debt on your credit report as "disputed", after you disputed the debt

Your eyes aren't just the windows to your soul — they can also reveal valuable information about your general health beyond whether you need glasses, including: diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. It is not unusual for people to come in for an eye exam just to check their eyesight and then have certain health issues or predispositions picked up by the optometrist.
Eye Exams and Your Health
Eye examinations can help doctors detect general health conditions early enough to intervene. Advanced screenings enable eye doctors to better predict cardiovascular incidents like stroke, and possibly detect signs of mental changes such as Alzheimer's. Read below to learn how eye exams can unveil a whole lot more than just eye health.
Brain Cancer & Stroke
Because of the similarities between the blood vessels in the eye and brain, an eye doctor can occasionally detect an issue taking place in the brain by examining the blood vessels in the eyes. If swelling or shadows in the eye is observed, it may indicate a serious condition in the brain, like a tumor, or clots that might result in a stroke.
Diabetes can cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye, resulting in Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Diabetic Macular Edema (DME). If an optometrist detects leaky blood vessels in the eye, the patient would be advised to see a doctor to help control their blood sugar. Changes are gradual, and they start before visual symptoms are noticed. The earlier diabetic eye disease is managed, the better the chances are of preserving eyesight.
High blood pressure, characterized by having too much pressure in the blood vessels, can be detected during an eye exam, sometimes even before it's diagnosed by your regular doctor. The damaged blood vessels lead to swelling, hemorrhages, and leaking — all of which can be observed in the eyes. According to the CDC, hypertension "the silent killer" affects nearly 1 in 3 adults, and up to a whopping 20% of those don't even know they have it. So early detection at an eye doctor's evaluation can be truly life-saving.
High Cholesterol
Eye exams can also detect a buildup of cholesterol. High cholesterol is among the easiest conditions to spot during a complete eye exam, as the cholesterol deposits manifest on the front of the eye, appearing as a thin, gray rim around the cornea. It can also be detected in the retina by assessing artery and vein patterns.
These deposits may indicate the current or future development of Retinal Blood Vessel Occlusion, a condition where blockages restrict blood flow to the back of the eye, causing temporary or permanent vision loss.
Heart Conditions
In some cases, heart conditions associated with a buildup of plaque in the carotid artery in the heart can also lead to deposits that clog the ocular arteries in the eye. If an optometrist detects such changes to the vascular structure at the back of the eye, he or she will typically recommend going to a specialist.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Sudden vision loss may be attributed to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). While the optometrist can recognize signs indicating the presence of MS, such as the color and appearance of the optic nerve, such cases will be referred for further testing to confirm the diagnosis.
Thyroid disease can make itself apparent through the eyes in several ways. The thyroid gland controls the hormones that regulate tear production so some thyroid disorders can cause dry eye disease. Additionally, overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can make the extraocular muscles enlarge and stiffen, causing bulging eyes — an indicator of Graves' disease.
Systemic conditions that are associated with inflammation in the body can have an inflammatory effect on the eyes. Uveitis, for example, causes eye inflammation, redness, and blurred vision, and tends to occur in people with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases.
Breast cancer, leukemia, and other metastatic cancers are occasionally discovered during an eye evaluation. In addition to brain cancer mentioned above, melanoma and basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) can be detected, and eye doctors can also diagnose lymphoma and other eye tumors. Eye exams save lives.
What the Future Holds
Recent studies show that a non-invasive and precise imaging device called Octa (optical coherence tomography angiography) can signal the presence of eye changes associated with Alzheimer's disease. Because the retina is in many ways an extension of the brain, the altered blood vessels at the back of the eye offer a glimpse into the changes taking place within the brain.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease can often be misdiagnosed as its early symptoms are characteristic of other conditions. Research has shown that subtle eye tremors, an early Parkinson's marker, could be detectable using advanced eye exam technology. One day soon, practitioners may send patients to an eye doctor to test for this and other diseases.
Your Eye Doctor's Appointment Could Change Your Life
So the next time you visit Dr. Kyle Craig at Midtown Eyecare in Tulsa, remember that a comprehensive eye exam can do more than determine your eyeglasses or contacts prescription. Dr. Kyle Craig can evaluate your eyes for existing or potential health issues, and communicate them to your primary care physician for the best possible care. By knowing that you're at risk for a certain disease, you can take precautions early on and manage the condition as needed. After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

A small sculpture made as a preparatory study or model for a full scale work. (pr. Ma kett')
Chemically pure. This designation is sometimes applied to commercial pigments which are entirely free of extenders or any added inert pigments.
A metal found in several compounds: cadmium oxide, cadmium carbonate, cadmium chloride, cadmium sulfate, and cadmium sulfide. In paints, inks, enamels, glazes, and dyes, brilliant and permanent pigments are prepared from cadmiums, mostly cadmium sulfate. It is also used in electroplating, in solder for aluminum, as a constituent of easily fusible alloys, as a deoxidizer in nickel plating, in process engraving, and in nickel-cadmium batteries. Cadmiums are toxic.
A claw chisel with two long points. This is the Italian name for what in France is called a pied debiche.
See Also: bush hammer
In paper-making, the process of pressing paper in order to give it a smooth surface, running it between rollers under strong pressure. Supercalendering produces an even smoother, polished finish.
caliper (or calipers)
An instrument used to measure thickness or distance, consisting of two metal or wooden arms with curved, pointed ends, hinged together; or having a fixed and a movable arm on a graduated stock.(pr. cal'e-per)
Careful hand lettering, or the decorative art of lettering in an ornamental style using brushes or pens.
An early photographic process, it was patented in 1840 by William H.F. Talbot (English, 1800-1877), the first process to employ a negative to produce a positive image on paper. Also known as Talbotype.
A painting technique, in which the painter creates a monochromatic image by employing two or three tints of a single pigment without regard to local or realistic color. Or, a woodblock print that imitates highlighted drawings on tinted paper.
A small-scale low relief in a stratified or banded material, usually a gemstone such as onyx or sardonyx, but also in calcite alabaster or shell or glass, in which the ground is of one color and the figure in relief in another color or colors.
camera lucida
A device much like an opaque projector, which replaced it, using a prism and mirrors to project the image of an external object onto a flat surface so that its image may be traced. Replacing the camera obscura, it was invented in the 17th century, but not widely used until the 19th. Literally, "lighted room."
camera obscura
The origin of the present day camera. In its simplest form it consisted of a darkened room with a small hole through one wall. Light rays could pass through the hole to transmit onto a screen, an inverted image of the scene outside. It was first mentioned by Aristotle in the fourth century BC, and developed through the centuries as an aid to drawing. Literally, "dark room."
See Also: camera lucida
Commonly used as a support for oil or acrylic painting, canvas is a heavy woven fabric made of flax or cotton. Its surface is typically prepared for painting by priming with a ground. Linen-- made of flax-- is the standard canvas, very strong, sold by the roll and by smaller pieces. A less expensive alternative to linen is heavy cotton duck, though it is less acceptable (some find it unacceptable), cotton being less durable, because it's more prone to absorb dampness, and it's less receptive to grounds and sizings. For use in painting, a piece of canvas is stretched tightly by stapling or tacking it to a stretcher frame. A painting done on canvas and then cemented to a wall or panel is called marouflage. Canvas board is an inexpensive, commercially prepared cotton canvas which has been primed and glued to cardboard, suitable for students and amateurs who enjoy its portability. Also, a stretched canvas ready for painting, or a painting made on such fabric.
canvas scraper
A tool used to scrape oil or acrylic paint from a canvas. A canvas scraper has a curving blade so that its effect is evenly distributed, avoiding cuts and grooves.
An architectural element which acts as the crown of a column. The architectural orders are based on the various styles of capitals.
Example: Papyrus, Cushion, and Still-Leaf are all styles of capitals.
A common non-metallic element that occurs in many inorganic and in all organic compounds, exists freely as graphite and diamond, and as a constituent of coal, limestone, and petroleum, and is capable of chemical self-bonding to form an enormous number of chemically biologically, and commercially important molecules. It is an important ingredient in steel and other alloys. Its elemental symbol is C; atomic weight 12.01115. The specific gravity of amorphous carbon is 1.8 to 2.1, of diamond 3.15 to 3.53, and of graphite 1.9 to 2.3. Also, may refer to a sheet of carbon paper, or an image produced by marks made to carbon paper.
carbon dioxide
A colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-explosive and inert gas, CO2, formed during respiration, combustion, and organic decomposition and used in food refrigeration, carbonated beverages, inert atmospheres, fire extinguishers, and aerosols. Tank sizes available are 20 and 50 pounds. Also called carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, and, in aqueous solution it's called carbonic acid gas. Solid carbon dioxide, or dry ice, is a refrigerant. Toxic if inhaled in large amounts.
carbon paper
A paper that is coated on its underside with a dark pigment, and used to transfer writing and drawing to other surfaces. When marks are made with sufficient pressure upon its upper side, their likeness is transferred to the surface placed below the carbon paper with the pigments from its underside.
See Also: transfer paper
Another name for silicon carbide, this is a hard crystalline substance used as an abrasive and in refractory compounds.
See Also: corundum
card stock
Card in the form it is received from a manufacturer, or a stored supply of card.
See Also: paper
A stiff paper which may be of any of many thicknesses, typically made of pressed paper pulp or pasted sheets of paper. Sometimes cards are made from plastics. Cardboard has many uses. For example, it is employed as a material in making two- and three-dimensional work, and as a surface on which to mount other work. Card may also refer to a greeting card, post card, business card, playing card, trading card, credit card, etc. In the fiber arts, to card is to comb out fibers with a wire brush (also called a card).
See Also: bristol board, carding, card stock, foam core, matboard
cardboard relief
A collage made up of pieces of cardboard. Cardboard reliefs can be used in relief block printing.
Combing out fibers with a wire brush, usually in preparing fibers for spinning. Also, combining fibers between two such brushes for the same purpose.
A representation in which the subject's distinctive features or peculiarities are deliberately exaggerated to produce a comic or grotesque effect. Also, the art of creating such representations. It is most common in drawings and editorial cartoons, but Honoré Daumier (French, 1808-1879) made several sculptural examples.
Sold in a powdered form, this seaweed-based material is used to size paper before marbling to keep the colors from running and bleeding, or used as a bath to float marbling colors on. It is also referred to as Irish moss.
carte de visite
Separate photographs made on a single negative and mounted on a card the size of a standard calling card. In the 19th century, this was an inexpensive means of creating mass-produced prints (pr. kart duh-vee'zeet")
A kind of drawing done to get people thinking, angry, laughing, or otherwise amused, often accompanied by a caption. A cartoon usually has simple lines, uses basic colors, and tells a story in one or a series of pictures called frames or panels.
cartridge paper
A British term for almost any inexpensive paper. These may be of almost any weight or finish. Such paper is unlikely to be of archival quality, because it is probably not acid-free. Cartridge paper is typically used for sketches.

A technique in which a piece of Masonite board is built up to about 1/16 inch thickness in multiple layers of casein. This is then used as a plate for engraving. The engraved surface should be sealed before inking.
casein paint
A paint much like opaque watercolors in which casein-- a milk glue-- is its binder. Casein is a white, tasteless, odorless protein precipitated from milk by rennin. Casein is the basis of cheese, and is used to make plastics, adhesives, and foods, as well as paints. Casein paint can be used on paper or board for light impasto, for underpainting, wall decoration, etc. Casein paint is too inflexible for use on canvas. It dries quickly with a waterproof surface, and may be varnished.
To form (molten metal, or liquid plaster or plastic, for example) into a three-dimensional shape by pouring into a mold; or something formed by this means. Also, an impression formed in a mold or matrix.
See Also: hollow casting, lost wax casting
A substance which provokes a chemical reaction in other materials without itself changing. For example, an egg will emulsify water and oil by acting as a catalyst. In resin sculpture, a catalyst must be added in order to cause the resin to harden. An accelerator, usually already added to the resin, reacts with the catalyst and heat is generated which sets off the hardening process.
Corrosive. Be careful to read all warning labels, and take all precautions necessary with materials noted as caustic.
See Also: toxic
A ceramic glaze containing iron. It must be fired by the reduction method, with its red iron oxide (ferric) reduced to black (ferroso-ferric). The final color of the glaze is either olive green, gray-green, or gray. Celadon ware was developed and perfected during the prosperous Sung [or Song] dynasty (960-1279). It was valued by the Chinese largely because of its resemblance to jade. The pigment known as celadon green is also called green earth, the main ingredient of which is celadonite, an iron silicate. Chinese and Korean celadon porcelain was named for the resemblance of its color to this pigment. The word originated as the name of a character in the 1610 story by Frenchman Honoré d'Urfé, L'Astrée.
In graphic arts, a plastic plate-- typically acetate, Lucite, or Plexiglas. Or, a plastic varnish used to add thickness to or texture a design.

See Also: acrylic plastics, cell, plastic
One of the earliest invented plastics, celluloid is used form photographic films. It is a cellulose nitrate which is tough and flammable, generally obtained from wood pulp.
A substance obtained from plant cells, which is one of the basic materials used in the manufacture of plastics.
A powdered substance made by grinding calcined limestone and clay, which can be mixed with water and poured to set as a solid mass or used as a binding ingredient in mortar or concrete. Sometimes called Portland cement after an important early site of its manufacture. Also, may refer to substances that harden to act as an adhesive; glue, or to glue. (pr. se-ment')
See Also: aggregate
A unit of distance measurement equal to 1/100 of a meter, or to 10 millimeters. To convert centimeters into feet, multiply them by 0.03281; to inches, x 0.3937. To convert cubic centimeters into cubic inches, multiply them by 0.06102; into pints (US liquid), x 0.00211. Abbreviated cm.
centrifugal casting
A means of casting employing the force achieved in a spinning apparatus to push the casting material into a mold. (Refers to centrifugal force-- moving away from an axis; the opposite being centripetal force-- moving toward an axis.)

See Also: cloisonné
In lost-wax casting, a core pin or refractory spacing block connecting the core placed within a wax model to its surrounding mold. There are often many employed for each work, and may vary in size from thin wire to thick bars of metal, depending on the scale of the model. When the wax is melted from the mold, the chaplets keep the core from shifting. When molten metal is poured in, they are incorporated into it, and when the investment is broken off, they protrude from the surface of the metal. When they are made of the same alloy as the cast, they are difficult to find once they have been filed down. If they fall out when the core is removed, they leave holes which must be filled.
The process of finishing and refining a metal surface of metal object 's surface by denting rather than engraving it with steel tools such as tracers, ciselets, punches, and matting tools. Chasing might be done in order to remove the imperfections and rough spots on a bronze cast which necessarily form in the casting process. Chasing might also be done in order to ornament metal surfaces by embossing or hollowing with tools.

Within the hierarchy of celestial beings, a cherub is a winged angel-child. Cherubs, or putti, were popular images in the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
Example: Andrea del Sarto's Madonna of the Harpies, 1517
A word borrowed from Italian ("light and shade" or "dark") referring to the modeling of volumes by depicting light and shade by contrasting them boldly. This is one means of strengthening an illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface, and was an important topic among artists of the Renaissance.

Long, snake-like ropes of clay that are used in making pottery. The coil method of making pottery involves building the walls of a pot with a series of coils into the required shape. Once the desired height has been reached the surfaces can either remain coil-textured or they can be smoothed. Much pottery in primitive cultures was made this way, and remains one of the principle hand-building techniques potters use.
A picture or design created by adhering such basically flat elements as newspaper, wallpaper, printed text and illustrations, photographs, cloth, string, etc., to a flat surface, when the result becomes three-dimensional.

collodion wet plate
A photographic process invented in 1851, involving the use of a thick glass plate on which to create a negative, exposing it in the camera with its emulsion still wet. Also called wet plate and wet collodion process. It was the standard photographic process for a time, replaced in the 1870s by the gelatin dry plate process.
A print made from an image built up with glue and sometimes other materials. The inked image is transferred from plate to paper and is simultaneously embossed. The name derives from collage. Not to be confused with a collagraph or a collotype.
A photographic printing process in which a glass plate whose surface has been coated with gelatin carries the image to be reproduced. Also called a photogelatin process.
Produced when light strikes an object and then reflects back to your eyes. An element of art with three properties: (1) hue or tint, the color name, e.g., red, yellow, blue, etc.: (2) intensity, the purity and strength of a color, e.g., bright red or dull red; and (3) value, the lightness or darkness of a color. Photographers measure color temperature in degrees Kelvin (K).
color correction
The process of altering colors as they appear in a digital image or in print to insure they accurately represent the work depicted.
color separation
A process used by commercial artists which separates the primary colors in a color picture. A printing plate is then made for each of the colors-- one for yellow, one for blue (cyan), one for red (magenta), and also one for black. When these colors are printed one on top of the other, the full color original picture is reproduced.
color temperature
Important in color photography, the color temperature of a source of light is measured in Kelvin units in order to match it to the appropriate film, sometimes using filters, some of which are assigned what are called decamired values. Kelvin units are often referred to by their abbreviation K.
color wheel
A radial diagram of colors in which primary and secondary, and sometimes intermediate colors are displayed as an aid to color identification, choosing, and mixing. The complement to each color is the color opposite that color on the color wheel.
A mechanical tool that has two hinged, adjustable legs for drawing different sixes of circles and arcs. One of the legs has a sharp steel point that is placed on one spot on the paper. The other can hold either a pencil, a pen or a blade that rotates around the pointed end.
complementary colors
Colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red and green, blue and orange, and violet and yellow. When complements are mixed together they form the neutral colors of brown or gray. Note that this term is spelled differently than the word "complimentary," which means gift.

Example: Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus, c. 1482
The position of a human figure in painting or sculpture in which the hips and legs are turned in a different direction from that of the shoulders and head; the twisting of a figure on its own vertical axis. Especially a way of sculpting a human figure in a natural pose with the weight of one leg, the shoulder, and hips counterbalancing each other. Thus it is sometimes called "weight shift." This technique was developed late in the Greek period.
Example: Kritios Boy, c. 490 B.C.
A large difference between two things; for example, hot and cold, green and red, light and shadow. Closely related to emphasis, a principle of art, this term refers to a way of combining art elements to stress the differences between those elements. Thus, a painting might have bright colors which contrast with dull colors, or angular shapes which contrast with rounded shapes. Used in this way, contrast can excite, emphasize and direct attention to points of interest.
cool colors
Colors often associated with water, sky, spring, and foliage, and suggest coolness. These are the colors which contain blue and green and appear on one side of the color wheel opposite the warm colors. Psychologically, cool colors are said to be calming, unemphatic, depressive; optically, they generally appear to recede.
See Also: analogous colors
A method of splitting away stone from a block preliminary to shaping a carving. Small punches are driven into a block and hit in sequence until the stone splits between them.
A ductile, malleable, reddish-brown metallic element. It is used either pure or in alloys such as brass and bronze.
A hollow wax sculpture to be cast in metal is filled with clay or plaster with grog (refractory material). The wax can be modeled directly over a preformed core, and after the sculpture is cast, the core is generally removed in order to make the sculpture less heavy. A core might be either an original model pared down, or it might be poured into a hollow wax cast. A core may contain an armature, and it may hold chaplets.
See Also: direct casting, indirect casting, lost wax casting
core pin
A chaplet. In lost-wax casting, core pins connect the core placed within a wax model to its surrounding mold. Typically many are employed for a work. They vary in size from thin wire to thick bars of metal, depending on the scale of the model. When the wax is melted from the mold, core pins keep the core from shifting. When molten metal is poured in, they are incorporated into it, and when the investment is broken off, they protrude from the surface of the metal. When they are made of the same alloy as the cast, they are difficult to find once they have been filed down. If they fall out when the core is removed, they leave holes which must be filled. A possible substitute for core pins are refractory spacing blocks.
One of the three main architectural orders which describes the style of the capital of a column. The Corinthian column is decorated with rows of acanthus leaves, and is the most ornate order.
Example: The façade of Andrea Palladio's San Giorgio Maggiore, 1565

See Also: carborundum, emery
A method of keeping the head of a screw or bolt, used to join sections of a work, below the outer surface of the materials.
The capacity of a pigment to obscure an underlying surface; or, its hiding power. Alternatively, its capacity to extend by given volume over a surface.
In ceramic glazes, a network of fine craze lines, produced intentionally or accidentally, especially associated with oriental and modern porcelain. Also, in oil painting, when the paint's surface is broken by a network of small cracks.
See Also: crazing
Technical skill, manual dexterity, considered apart from the fine arts, or from the cerebral, expressive, or aesthetic aspects of them. Also, any of the manual activities performed by artisans or craftspeople, as distinguished from the specific group of techniques that are practiced by artists in the making of fine art. Although there have been tensions resulting from differentiations between the art and the craft, especially since the onslaught of mechanization in the industrial era, support for the notion of craft has been undercut. However, there have been certain revivals and other movements which have served to counterbalance this trend.
Traditionally, any drawing material made in stick form, including chalk, pastel, Conté crayons, charcoal, lithographic and other grease crayons, as well as wax crayons. To children, the term invariably refers to these last sticks of color made of paraffin, and patented under various trade names, available in several sizes and shapes, either water-soluble or not, usually in a paper wrapper.
A network of cracks which sometimes forms in ceramic glazes; crackle. It may be desirable or not, depending on the artist's wishes. It is caused by the glaze and clay body contracting at different rates as they cool after firing. A similar pattern in the surface of oil paints is known as crackle instead of crazing. Crackle in oil paintings is less likely when the painter follows the rule of fat over lean -- when oil colors will be applied in layers (coats), the first layer should be leanest (least oil) followed by layers with progressively more fat (more oil.) Following this principle results in a work less likely to crack in aging. Similarly, in order to encourage crazing, later coats should have less oil than earlier ones. Desirable in crackle glazes, but not for functional earthenware.
crosscut saw
A saw with fine teeth set and angled to cut transversely through the grain of a dense material, usually wood.
See Also: circular saw, ripsaw
The image of Christ nailed to the cross. This was a popular image in the sixteenth and seventeenth-centuries.
Example: Masaccio's Holy Trinity, c. 1428
Describing the state of having curved lines.
Example: Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi's casa Mila, Barcelona, Spain, 1907
The blue-green subtractive primary color which absorbs red and transmits blue-green; that is, white light minus red.
A very direct photographic process resulting in monochromatic images in tints and tones of blue. It first appeared in 1842.

Medieval Monsters
In the Middle Ages, monstrous races were thought to inhabit the edges of the Christian world, and there was debate about whether such beings—hair-covered or elephant-snouted, headless or stork-necked—enjoyed God's love. Such creatures often stood in for "the other" in Christian society: Jews, Muslims, women and the infirm. Dreams and visions of monsters were understood as powerful portents, and they became part of the visual language of theology and politics.
Monsters lurked in the margins of medieval art and architecture in purposeful contrast to the authoritative holy figures depicted at the center of things. Scary or ridiculous, sexual or obscene, they were always inventive, designed to incite interest and provoke emotional responses. Such supernatural threats called for supernatural heroes. No matter how formidable their claws, horns, teeth, wings or scales, monsters were no match for saints and angels, who vanquished them with razor-edged swords, shining armor and unswerving faith.
The exhibition will explore how images of monsters in the European Middle Ages embodied fears, expressed ideologies and exercised the medieval imagination. The exhibition will include rare illuminated manuscript pages and stained glass from the collections of Augustana College, Rock Island; Saint Louis Art Museum; Olin Library Manuscripts Collection, Washington University in St. Louis, as well as several other public and private collections.
The exhibition Medieval Monsters is curated by Sherry C.M. Lindquist, Ph.D., assistant professor of art history, Western Illinois University, and made possible with assistance from the Figge Art Museum and students from the Western Illinois Museum Studies Program.
This exhibition will be on view October 12 through December 15, 2013.

Some items may take longer to ship out and they will be clearly marked as such. All items will show availability information both on the product page (once you select size/color) and on the shopping cart page.

There are many types of storage, so you want to be sure to pick the one that fits your needs and budget. The different types of storage facilities are: self-storage units, climate-controlled facilities, portable storage, and boat, RV and car storage.
Houston Self Storage Units
Self storage units in Houston are of the most common of the units and are ideal for business and residential use. These units can range from 10x5 to 20x20 and have concrete or metal walls.
Houston storage units
are typically windowless in order to keep your unit at a consistent temperature by reducing the effects of the outside Mississippi environment. Units have a garage door that is lockable by the tenant so that you can access it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Security is different at almost all Mississippi storage facilities and is dependent on your location and city (such as Houston). Some facilities contain card access to get into the facilities;, others will let you just drive or walk-in. This is something that you should take into account when selecting the Houston unit for your belongings. Lastly, Houston self storage units typically have a monthly or yearly fee, so determine your budget to store your items and then select the best unit for you.
Houston Climate-Controlled Units
Houston climate-controlled units are many times similar to the regular self storage units in shape. However, because these are climate controlled, it is common for these storage units in Houston to have set hours because they are typically located inside a building. It is best to consider Houston climate-controlled units if you are storing valuable furniture, heirlooms and other items that need to stay clear of environmental threats such as mold, mildew and pests. Because of the climate in Mississippi, the temperature needs to be managed inside the Houston facility which in turn increases the cost of the monthly rent.
Houston Portable Storage
Similar to the size of the regular Mississippi storage units, this type of self storage offers the convenience of portability around the Houston area. These units are typically kept on a flat-bed truck, tractor-trailer or dropped off at a Houston location for a specified amount of time. Once these units are filled, they are taken either to a central holding facility in Houston or to another location for unloading. This type of storage can be used for long term storage but is typically used for moving valuables from one Houston location to another. There are several benefits to this type of storage from the ease of moving to the flexibility of moving dates.
Houston Boat/RV/Car Storage
If you are looking to store a boat, RV or car in Houston, MS, then you typically need a specific type of storage. This type of Houston storage is typically more expensive then storage warehouses but it provides you with increased security.

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or "good post," and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else's work).

Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters' level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters' level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else's words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a "final submit" to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else's thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy
The university's policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.

There's a permanence to space that far exceeds the fleeting lives of the people who come to explore it. This never seems truer than when we remember the people who have perished in the effort. Feb. 1 is NASA's official day of remembrance—a date chosen partly because it recalls the Feb. 1, 2003 loss of the shuttle Columbia and the seven astronauts aboard it. The gallery of space images that follows has nothing to do with the astronauts and cosmonauts who have been lost in the past 60 years—and yet everything to do with them too.

Google Camera For Moto G 2023 If you love photography then you will also love the camera, We have to wander to different places for a good camera. But do you know, you can take a good photo from your phone? You will say which good photograph comes from a mobile phone, but I have a solution. You have to install the Google Camera application on your phone. You can take perfect photos with this application.
Installing the Google Camera application on a Moto G 2023 phone is very simple. Just camera2api should be enabled in your Moto G 2023 phone. If your phone camera2api is enabled, you can easily install Google Camera on a Moto G 2023 phone.
Google Camera For Moto G 2023
Table of Contents
Here I will tell you how you can install the Gcam APK on your Moto G 2023 phone, It will be straightforward first you must check on your phone whether camera2api is enabled or not. If camera2api is enabled in your Moto G 2023 phone, you can install Google Camera. I will give you the below Google Drive direct download link through which you can download the application.
Google Camera Top Features
- Night Sight: This feature allows users to capture high-quality photos in low-light conditions. It uses advanced computational photography techniques to enhance details and reduce noise.
- Portrait Mode: Google Camera's portrait mode uses depth information to create a blurred background effect, commonly known as bokeh while keeping the subject in sharp focus.
- HDR+ and HDR+ Enhanced: HDR+ (High Dynamic Range) technology helps capture photos with a wider range of colors and improved dynamic range. HDR+ Enhanced is an even more advanced version that further enhances image quality.
- Super Res Zoom: This feature uses computational photography to improve the quality of zoomed-in photos. It enhances details and reduces noise to create sharper and more detailed images.
- Lens Blur: Google Camera's Lens Blur feature simulates the shallow depth of field effect typically achieved with a DSLR camera. It adds a natural blur to the background, making the subject stand out.
- Top Shot: Top Shot captures a series of photos before and after the shutter button is pressed. It uses AI to recommend the best shot, considering factors such as facial expressions, open eyes, and image quality.
- Slow Motion: Google Camera offers the ability to record slow-motion videos at varying frame rates, allowing users to capture and relive moments in a more dramatic and detailed way.
- PhotoSphere and Panorama: These features enable users to capture immersive 360-degree photos with their smartphones. PhotoSphere stitches together multiple photos to create a spherical image, while Panorama captures a wide-angle view.
It's important to note that Google frequently updates its applications, so the specific features mentioned above may have been improved, refined, or replaced in version 8.8 or subsequent versions. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information on Google Camera's features, I recommend visiting official sources such as the Google Camera app page on the Google Play Store or Google's official announcements.

Great info! A comment about led lights. Besides using less electricity, they are safer than halide. You can touch them with no burns, they don't expel chemicals if they break. If you are worried about fire, these lights are much safer, you can install with velcro for under the kitchen cabinet herb growing.
Great! thanks for the share!
Book marked, I love your site! 🙂
Awsome resource! I've just added it to vavorites.
Pingback: A Practical Guide To Growing Tomatoes Indoors | Green Grow Box
I have grown plants in the basement of my home using the combination of T-12 lights and the HID lights. I found my bigest chalange was keeping the soil temp warm enough for warm season crops like tomatoes and pepers. Success was acheived by placing the cool season crops on the bottem shelf with their T-12 lights on 24 hours. The fixtuers porduced a study source of gentel heat that keep the soil of the shelf above warm enough.

Wilms tumor, to be exact.
I graduated high school with Maggie's mom, Megan, and while I haven't seen her in a while
I still keep up with her on Facebook, and that's how I learned about everything that is going on with her.
You will read more about this below, but Maggie went through multiple surgeries (some lasting up to 13 hours), chemotherapy, and radiation treatments this past year to treat the cancer that was found on her kidney. It was a mass that was 7 inches in all directions.
Within the past couple of weeks, the family just found out that her cancer has spread to her lungs.
{I've received full permission from Megan to share these pictures/her story}
and to read Maggie's story I'm about to share with you.
who lives in her town and is also battling cancer.
I was so inspired by all of YOU who reached out to help him and his family.
(the tool won't allow any less, otherwise I'd ask for less)
in hopes that I can hand deliver a check to the Lyon family for Christmas.
this has to be on Megan, her husband, her other 2 children, and especially Princess Maggie, makes me cry.
Update: Brinkley, the owner of the adorable Babygirl Brown Originals will donate 25% of her shops proceeds from now to December 10th to Princess Maggie!
Shop here and you can help this family as well.
Thank you Brinkley!
UPDATE: My goal of $1,000 has been raised!! All thanks to each and every single one of you!
I have been moved to tears. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I will update more once I deliver the money to the family. :)
