The artist Dan Shupe was born in Colorado, in the late 1930's. He grew up in Venice, California where he started sculpting at an early age. He took many trips to Mexico and was profoundly influenced by the local folk artists.
Dan moved to the East Coast in the late 1950's, where he studied with Franz Klein at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. By the 1960's, Dan began having successful shows in Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles.
In the last decade Dan has evolved into the leading force in the Neo-Expressionist style that is reminiscent of the 1920's and 1930's. His luscious palette is achieved through layer upon layer of pigment, then lacquered and waxed. Pure colors in the fauve tradition. Vibrant color used sparingly, suggesting passion, humor and an almost innocent celebration of life and freedom on the edge.
Selected private collectors of his works include Michelle Pfeiffer, Whoopi Goldberg, Brooke Shields, Brooke Adams, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Ingrid Bergman, Andy Williams, Cher, Chita Rivera and Ali McGraw. View his Dan Shupe's profile page to see his available inventory, and to learn a little more about him.

The Indian Express has a rather nostalgic (for some) story on the early days of the Internet in India.
According to HT, the father has been arrested on charges of endangering the life of a child and allowing a minor to drive, and released upon posting bail of Rs. 5000. The kid's mother is the one filming him.
Nasscom has posted an interesting interview with Nandan Nilekani, chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India, who talks about the status of the program and some of the imminent changes that we are likely to see in the next few years as a result of Aadhar.
Silly, but funny. This is a sketch from the 1967 comedy show, At last the 1948 show, and the actress—with the voice like a "a choir of frantic mice"—is Aimi MacDonald.
Indians over a certain age might remember "Giant Robot" (or "Giant Robo") with a degree of nostalgia. Back in the day when Doordarshan was the Hobson's choice of TV viewers, we were treated to some pretty exotic features such as this Japanese TV show which I believe was telecast at around 7:00 pm.
"Saw this tractor was jacked up and had a rope tied through the wheel. Didn't understand why. Maybe waiting for parts? They showed me later what the rope was for."
CNN-IBN has a show where consumers can contact them about service related issues and they'll follow it up. The first report was about Tata Indicom and somebody kindly put it up on YouTube ...

Mongolia is called 'the land without fences'. Now having been in Mongolia for more than four months I have to admit that this truly is the land without fences. After seeing so many things in this country, I can say that this is the first country I have been to where you can drive for hours and not see anybody. The only things you see are wild animals like gazelles, foxes, horses and camels. that don't belong to anyone.
In Mongolia I am doing my placement at Tavan Bogd, one of the biggest international companies in Mongolia. I have never had an experience like this before in my life. I am working in a position that you could only dream of getting in Europe if you had years of work experience. Not only is my placement itself amazing but so are the people I am working with. All Mongolian people are so friendly that I can call my co-workers colleagues and also my best friends.Mongolian people are very hospitable and it is normal that just after you meet someone new, you will be called their friend and that you will be invited to their home for dinner.
I arrived in Mongolia from Holland during Lunar New Year and Buddhism New Year, which is a three day holiday full of food and vodka. I was glad that I had this experience with my host family, as it was an excellent introduction to their culture. I also celebrated the New Year with Tugi, the Assistant Country Manager of Projects Abroad, who invited all the volunteers to his place to celebrate this important holiday.
In my opinion both the Mongolian people and their amazing country are beautiful. I am glad that I travelled a lot around the country and saw so many different aspects of Mongolia. Ulaanbaatar, the capital where I do my placement, is a crowded city full of cars which are honking all the time for no reason! Everywhere in the city are little restaurants and shops in places you would never expect, which makes Ulaanbaatar mysterious and attractive at the same time.
Travel just five minutes outside the capital and you are totally in the middle of nowhere. You meet the nomadic families who live in gers, the Mongolian tent. All the nomadic people I have met are so friendly and hospitable too, it is amazing. If we are driving in the countryside with Projects Abroad, it is normal that we stop at a nomad family's ger and have a drink or dinner with them; everybody is welcome.
I am glad that Projects Abroad found this perfect project for me and that I am able to see so many beautiful things in this country. Mongolia is a mysterious land full of beauty and without fences, and for me there is still so much to discover.
This is a personal account of one volunteer's experience on the project and is a snapshot in time. Your experience may be different, as our projects are constantly adapting to local needs and building on accomplishments. Seasonal weather changes can also have a big impact. To find out more about what you can expect from this project we encourage you to speak to one of our friendly staff.

The best exchange rate of the Euro to the NZD for July 18, 2024, for sending money from abroad
It is at the 655.96000 mark. But the exchange rate is constantly changing: depending on the geopolitical situation, fluctuations of the main currency pairs and other financial and economic factors. That is why it is so important to give preference to a transfer service whose exchange rate Euro to NZD will be the highest.
The policy of local regulatory banks is also very important. Because of it, the official exchange rate in the recipient's country may differ from the one declared in the sender's country.
How to choose the best money transfer operator?
You need to fill out the comparison form - take 3 simple steps:
- Select Austria as the sender and New Zealand as the recipient from the drop-down menus.
- Enter the amount to send (please note, currencies are delivered automatically).
- Click on the "Compare" button.
3 options for receiving money will appear (to a bank account, to a card, with cash withdrawal), and for each of them, there is a list of operators capable of performing such a money transfer. Online comparison service Strumok has partnerships with such money transfer operators as TransferGo, Wise, Paysend, Remitly, XE, WorldRemit, Profee, Instarem, CurrencyFair and many others. The list of Partners is constantly growing to meet customers' increasing demand for money transfer services.
Compare these offers. Focus on the final amount: the higher it is, the more profitable it is for you. Also pay attention to the following nuances:
- operation confirmation duration (clock icon) — the shorter it is, the better;
- commission (coin icon) — the lower the final percentage, the better;
- application reception and service time (graph icon) — the wider this window is, the more convenient it is.
Which option should I choose? It's up to you.
How to send money from Austria?
You only need to use our service, compare the offers of operators, choose the best one and click on the "Go to..." button opposite it. The website of the money transfer service will open - all that remains is to register (or log in), provide information about yourself and the recipient, and transfer the required amount.
Yes, this is not the only way, but it is the most convenient and reliable. You will not have to contact each operator separately and find out about the rate, commission, time of the operation - all the offers are in front of your eyes. And no hidden fees - compare, choose, send.
How to get money in New Zealand?
By card, bank transfer or cash. The last option is relatively fast (requires the least amount of time to carry out the operation), but it is not the safest, because money can be issued in some public place, for example, in a shopping center.
Banks often charge a high commission for their services or offer no very profitable rates (as a result of which even 10 euros lose a few hryvnias). Well, when transferring money to a card, there are monthly limits.
Each method of receiving money has its pros and cons. That is why it is so important to be able to visually compare them before shipping.
Find the best options for money transfers from Austria to New Zealand
Comparison service Strumok covers offers for each of three fundamentally different ways of making transactions. Money transfers payouts methods are presented in separate sections of the pop-up menu:
- to the map — for those who like to perform financial transactions online;
- through a bank — for those who are used to offline service;
- cash — for fans of relatively fast transactions.
Which of these options is the best? The one that is most convenient for you personally.
Top money transfer operators from Austria to New Zealand
These are the services that are licensed in both countries. They operate under the financial supervision of both Austria and New Zealand supervisory authorities and are able to guarantee the security of transactions. These popular operators have gained a reputation, value it and claim the maximum exchange rate, minimum transfer time, and other benefits. We only show offers from operators that meet all of the above conditions.
Transfer from Austria to New Zealand with a minimum commission
How to make it? Compare the conditions of different services and pay special attention to the coin icon. Click "More" and learn the nuances. The lower the percentage, the better. Even if the maximum commission can reach 5% of the amount for some operators, then others conduct a transaction in general with 0%.
The fastest transfer from Austria to New Zealand
The most efficient way — with payment and receipt of funds in cash, but it is not always available. The average transfer time from Austria to New Zealand is 1-2 hours. Although the transaction can be carried out faster, in 5-30 minutes, or longer, the next calendar day.
The slowest — to a bank account. In this case, the maximum translation time — up to 72 hours. Think about what benefits you will get in exchange for waiting.
The real exchange rate when making a money transfer Euro to NZD for July 2024
It is 655.96000. All Partners of the Strumok comparison service, namely TransferGo, Wise, Paysend, Remitly, XE, WorldRemit, Profee, Instarem, CurrencyFair and other well-known money transfer operators compete for the client. Therefore, the difference in the applied exchange rates is sometimes minimal, however worth your attention. In addition to currency exchange commissions, the money transfer operator receives its income from the money transfer fee.
Therefore, choose the maximum rate and transfer on the best terms for yourself.

The Letter of Anastasius,
Bishop of the Church of Rome to John Bishop of Jerusalem Concerning the Character of Rufinus.
The letter of Anastasius to John of Jerusalem was written in the year 401; it is spoken of in Jerome's Apol. iii., c. 21, which was written in the first half of 402, as "the letter of last year." Jerome intimates in the same passage that it was only one of several letters of the same character which Anastasius wrote to the East. Rufinus had not seen it, and refused to believe its genuineness. But there seems to be no reason for doubting this. Anastasius had, at the earnest request of Theophilus of Alexandria, formally condemned Origenism. And Rufinus' translations of Origen's Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν and of Pamphilus' Vindication of Origen, and his own book on the Falsification of Origen's works were taken at Rome as a defence of Origenism generally. Rufinus, however, appealed continually, and especially in his Apology to Anastasius, to the church of Jerusalem, where he had been ordained. "My faith," he says, "is that which is preached at Jerusalem." Anastasius, therefore, in condemning Origen would be understood as condemning Rufinus, and might also seem to condemn his Bishop John of Jerusalem. This will account for the fulsome praises with which the letter opens. John, moreover, had written "to consult" Anastasius about Rufinus, which probably implies some action in Rufinus' interest; but the fact that Jerome knew the contents of the letter and Rufinus did not seems to show that Bishop John had become more friendly with Jerome and less so with Rufinus.
1. The kind words of approval that you have addressed, my dear Bishop, to your brother Bishop, is a fresh mark of your long tried affection. It is a high commendation which you confer upon me, a most lavish recognition of my services. I thank you for this proof of your love; and, following you at a distance in my littleness, I bring the tribute of my words to honour the splendour of your holiness and those virtues which the Lord has conferred upon you. You excel all others so far, the splendour of your praise shines forth so conspicuously, that no words which I can use can equal your deserts. Yet your glory excites in me such admiration that I cannot turn away from the attempt to describe it, even though I can never do so adequately. And, first, the praise which you have bestowed on me out of the serene heaven of your great spirit forms part of your own glory: for it is the majesty of your episcopate, shining forth like the sun upon the opposite quarter of the world, which has reflected its own brightness upon us. And you give me your friendship unreservedly; you do not weigh me in the balance of criticism. If it is right for you to praise me, must not your praise be echoed back to you? I beg you therefore, for your own sake no less than mine, that you will not praise me any more to my face. I ask this for two reasons: if the praise is undeserved it must excite in your brother-bishop a sense of pain; if it is true, it must make him blush.
2. Let me come to the subject of your letter. Rufinus, about whom you have done me the honour to ask my advice, must bring his conscience to the bar of the divine majesty. 433It is for him to see how he can approve himself to God as maintaining his true allegiance to him.
3. As for Origen, whose writings he has translated into our language, I have neither formerly known, nor do I now seek to know either who he was or what expression he may have given to his thought. But as to the feeling left by this matter on my own mind I should be glad to speak with your holiness for a moment. The impression which I have received is this,—and it has been brought out clearly by the reading of parts of Origen's works by the people of our City, and by the sort of mist of blindness which it threw over them,—that his object was to disintegrate our faith, which is that of the Apostles, and has been confirmed by the traditions of the fathers, by leading us into tortuous paths.
4. I want to know what is the meaning of the translation of this work into the Roman tongue. If the translator intends by it to put the author in the wrong, and to denounce to the world his execrable deeds, well and good. In that case he will expose to well-merited hatred one who has long laboured under the adverse weight of public opinion. But if by translating all these evil things he means to give his assent to them, and in that sense gives them to the world to read, then the edifice which he has reared at the expense of so much labour serves for nothing else than to make the guilt the act of his own will, and to give the sanction of his unlooked for support to the overthrow of all that is of prime importance in the true faith as held by Catholic Christians from the time of the Apostles till now.
5. Far be such teaching from the catholic system of the Church of Rome. It can never by any possibility come to pass that we should accept as reasonable things which we condemn as matters of law and right. We have, therefore, the assurance that Christ our God, whose providence reaches over the whole world, bestows his approval on us when we say that it is wholly impossible for us to admit doctrines which defile the church, which subvert its well tried moral system, which offend the ears of all who are witnesses of our doings and lay the ground for strife and anger and dissensions. This was the motive which led me to write my letter to Venerius28112811 Appointed bishop of Milan in 400, in succession to Simplicianus. our brother in the Episcopate, the character of which, written as it was in my weakness but with great care and diligence, you will realize by what I now subjoin: "Whence, then, he who translated the work has gained and preserves this assurance of innocence I am not greatly troubled to know: it fills me with no vain alarm. I certainly shall omit nothing which may enable me to guard the faith of the Gospel amongst my own people, and to warn, as far as in me lies, those who form part of my body, in whatever part of the world they live, not to allow any translation of profane authors to creep in and spring up amongst them, which will seek to unsettle the mind of devout men by spreading its own darkness among them. Moreover, I cannot pass over in silence an event which has given me great pleasure, the decree issued by our Emperors,28122812 Arcadius and Honorius. by which every one who serves God is warned against the reading of Origen, and all who are convicted of reading his impious works are condemned by the imperial judgment." In these words my formal sentence was pronounced.
6. You are troubled by the complaint which people make as to our treatment of Rufinus, so that you pursue certain persons28132813 Probably the friends of Jerome at Rome, Pammachius and Marcella. with vague suspicions. But I will meet this feeling of yours with an instance taken from holy writ, namely, where it is said: "Man seeth not as God seeth; for God looketh upon the heart, but man upon the countenance." Therefore, my dearly beloved brother, put away all your prejudice. Weigh the conduct of Rufinus in your own unbiassed judgment; ask yourself whether he has not translated Origen's words into Latin and approved them, and whether a man who gives his encouragement to vicious acts committed by another differs at all from the guilty party. In any case I beg you to be assured of this, that he is so completely separate from all part or lot with us, that I neither know nor wish to know either what he is doing or where he is living. I have only to add that it is for him to consider where he may obtain absolution.

What is drug-induced hepatitis?
Drug-induced hepatitis is also called drug-induced liver injury. It is a redness and swelling (inflammation) of the liver that is caused by a harmful (toxic) amount of certain medicines.
The liver helps to break down certain medicines in your blood. If there is too much medicine in your blood for your liver to break down, your liver can become badly damaged. This can lead to drug-induced hepatitis.
What causes drug-induced hepatitis?
Drug-induced hepatitis is rare. It is caused when you have a harmful or toxic amount of some medicines, vitamins, herbal remedies, or food supplements.
In most cases, you may be taking a medicine for several months before it reaches a toxic level and affects your liver. But the disease can also happen if you take too much of some medicines, such as acetaminophen. In this case, it can happen quickly. Other times it is an allergic reaction.
Many types of medicines may cause drug-induced hepatitis. These include:
Pain and fever medicines that have acetaminophen
Aspirin and over-the-counter pain and fever medicines (NSAIDs)
Anabolic steroids, man-made medicines that are like the male sex hormone testosterone
Some medicines used to treat bacterial infections (antibiotics)
Birth control pills (oral contraceptives)
Statins, used to lower cholesterol
Sulfa medicines, a type of antibiotic
Anti-epileptic medicines
Herbal medicines, including ephedra, germander, pennyroyal, and many others. Keep in mind that not all "natural" or "herbal" supplements are safe. They are also not regulated for safety.
Who is at risk for drug-induced hepatitis?
The risk for drug-induced hepatitis varies with each medicine.
You may be at higher risk for drug-induced hepatitis if you:
Have liver disease, such as from long-term alcohol use, HIV, or viral hepatitis.
Drink alcohol and take medicines at the same time.
Are older.
Are a woman.
Use long-acting or extended-release medicines.
Take multiple medicines that contain acetaminophen. There are many medicines both over-the-counter and prescription with acetaminophen.
Use herbal supplements.
What are the symptoms of drug-induced hepatitis?
Each person's symptoms may vary. Symptoms may include:
Belly pain
Tiredness and weakness
Lack of appetite
Dark yellow urine
Pale gray or clay-colored stools
Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
The symptoms of drug-induced hepatitis may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider to be sure.
How is drug-induced hepatitis diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will look at your past health and give you a physical exam.
You may have some lab blood tests, including:
Liver function tests. These check for any redness and swelling (inflammation) or damage to the liver.
Complete blood count (CBC). Looks at the number and types of cells in your blood.
Coagulation studies. These tests look at how well the liver makes proteins that cause blood to clot.
Electrolyte panel. Checks to see if you have too many or too few minerals (electrolyte imbalance) in your blood.
Other tests to evaluate for liver disease, such as viral hepatitis labs, iron studies, and others.
Tests for other chemicals in your body
Drug screening tests
You may also have the following tests:
Ultrasound. This is used to see your liver and check how blood is flowing through different blood vessels. High-frequency sound waves create images of your internal organs on a computer screen.
CT scan. This is an imaging test that uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed images of the body. A CT scan shows details of the bones, muscles, fat, and organs.
MRI. This uses electromagnetic energy to create a picture of the organs.
Liver biopsy. Small tissue samples are taken from your liver with a needle. These samples are checked under a microscope to find out the amount and type of liver damage you have.
How is drug-induced hepatitis treated?
You must stop taking the medicine that is causing the problem. You must also keep all follow-up appointments. Your healthcare providers will monitor your liver closely while it recovers. The liver is often able to heal itself. In severe cases, you may need to be in the hospital as your liver heals. In rare cases, the liver fails and you will need a liver transplant.
Some medicines may cause a slight increase in liver enzymes without any symptoms. You may not need to stop using these medicines. Talk with your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits.
What are possible complications of drug-induced hepatitis?
If you don't stop taking the medicine that is causing the problem, your liver will become more damaged. It may not recover. If this happens, you will need a liver transplant.
Key points about drug-induced hepatitis
Drug-induced hepatitis is a redness and swelling (inflammation) of the liver.
It is a rare condition caused by harmful (toxic) amounts of certain medicines, vitamins, herbal remedies, or food supplements.
In most cases, you may be taking a medicine for several months before it reaches a toxic level and affects your liver.
You may also get the condition if you take too much of some medicines, such as acetaminophen. This can happen quickly.
You must stop taking the medicine that is causing the disease.
Next steps
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:
