Before learning how to program in VBA, you have to learn how to use the software required for creating your projects. The VBA development software is included with each component of the Microsoft Office suite of programs, including Excel. Starting the VBA development software places you in the VBA programming environment IDE, which provides you with a number of tools for use in the development of your project.
An IDE is software used by programmers for rapid application development (RAD). IDE's are available for numerous programming languages and are often quite expensive to purchase (several hundred dollars or more for a single license). The price is worth it because IDE's provide tools that enable programmers to develop applications quickly, saving them considerable time and money. Yet, the most important component of any development software is the compiler, which for many languages can be obtained at no cost. The compiler converts your program into the binary code your computer understands. If you have the compiler, all you really need to create an application—albeit with considerably more effort—is a text editor. Excel comes with its own IDE and VBA compiler, thus making it more of a value than you may realize.
Before you begin creating projects with VBA you must know your way around the IDE. You can access the IDE from Excel in a couple of different ways. In Excel: select Tools, Macro, Visual Basic Editor (as shown in Figure 1.3); or use the keystroke Alt + F11.
Alternatively, select the Visual Basic toolbar from the View/Toolbars menu item in Excel. When the toolbar is displayed, select the Visual Basic Editor icon found in the middle of the toolbar (see Figure 1.4).
After opening the VBA IDE you may find yourself looking at a window similar to what is shown in Figure 1.5. This figure shows the VBA IDE and some of the tools that can be used to create projects.

Like in most applications, there is a menu bar across the top of the window. You may only recognize a few items that exist within this menu, but don't worry. I'll show you the function of most of these items as we proceed through the book.
The Standard toolbar is one of four toolbars available from the IDE. Like any toolbar, its function is to give the user fast access to common tools available within the application. Again, I will explain the use of many of these functions, as well as the use of other toolbars, as we proceed through the book.
Of particular importance is the Project Explorer window, shown in the upper left corner of the IDE window in Figure 1.5. The Project Explorer lists all projects currently open, including those opened by Excel upon startup. The Project Explorer also lists the components of any opened projects. For example, Figure 1.5 shows that there is currently one project, called Bookl, open, and that this project contains four Excel objects: Sheetl, Sheet2, Sheet3, and ThisWorkbook. I will discuss Excel objects in detail in Chapter 5. For right now, recognize that these objects represent familiar components from Excel (the workbook and worksheets it contains).
If I open more workbooks in Excel, or add more worksheets to a currently open workbook in Excel, then their names will appear on the object list in the Project Explorer window.
Just below the Project Explorer window in Figure 1.5 is the Properties window. The Properties window displays a list of attributes or properties of the currently selected object in the Project Explorer window. These properties are used to manipulate the behavior and appearance of the object to which they belong. The properties of Sheetl are displayed in Figure 1.5 because it has been selected in the Project Explorer. Choosing a different object will result in a different properties list in the Properties window, as not all objects have the same properties. As a simple example in manipulating the properties of a worksheet, open a new workbook in Excel, note the name of your workbook and any worksheets it contains (do not change any names), then open the VBA IDE. Once in the IDE, display the Project Explorer and Properties windows. If the Project Explorer and Properties windows are not already displayed you can access them through the View menu item (see Figure 1.6). You can also use the keystrokes Ctrl+R and F4 to access the Project Explorer and Properties windows, respectively.
Accessing the Project Explorer and Properties windows.
Accessing the Project Explorer and Properties windows.
Once the Project Explorer window is displayed, find the project that represents the workbook you opened while in Excel (probably Bookl or Book2). If the components of the workbook you opened in Excel are not displayed, click the + sign next to the Microsoft Excel Objects folder directly underneath the project name. Next, find the object labeled Sheetl, select it with your mouse and then turn your attention to the Properties window. Scroll down the Properties window until you come to the Name property (the one without the parentheses around it). Delete the text entered to the right of the Name property and enter MySheet. Figure 1.7 illustrates how to find the Name property.

Toggle back to Excel by pressing Alt+F11, or select it from the taskbar in Windows. You will note that the name of Sheetl has now been replaced with MySheet in your Excel workbook, as shown in Figure 1.8.
The worksheet name

See how easy it is to alter the properties of a worksheet in Excel using VBA? As VBA developers, however, we will seldom, if ever, alter the properties of a workbook or worksheet at design time. The bulk of the work affecting workbooks and worksheets will occur at run time; however, we will alter properties of ActiveX controls at design time.
Design time refers to project development and the manipulation of object properties using the VBA IDE prior to running any code. Conversely run time will refer to the manipulation of object properties using a program; thus, the properties of the object do not change until the code is executed.
23 "X.1 | | | 1,1 * i M MyShi'i't Sheet2 / sheets /
Finally, I will show you one more component of the VBA IDE. If you look back at Figure 1.5 you will also see a standard code window. Windows such as these are used as containers for your program(s). This is where you type in the code for your program, so these windows are essentially text editors very similar to Notepad. You must be aware that there are pre-defined code windows for specific Excel objects, namely the workbook (for example, ThisWorkbook) and the worksheets (for example, Sheetl). The code window displayed in Figure 1.5 represents Sheetl contained within the workbook Bookl.
You will also be able to add components to your project and they will have their own code windows. I will explain how to use code windows more thoroughly as we proceed through this book. For now, know that you can open a code window by double clicking on any object listed in the Project Explorer. You can also select the object in the Project Explorer and click on the View Code icon at the top left of the window (refer to Figure 1.7), select Code from the tools menu, or press F7 (refer to Figure 1.6). Note that you can also view the selected object in Excel by selecting the appropriate item from these same locations (refer to Figures 1.7 and 1.8).
There are, of course, more components to the VBA IDE, but I've shown you enough to get you started for now. As the need arises, I will introduce more tools from the IDE that will aid in the development of various projects.

While most of the Chicago craft beer scene are downtown at FOBAB 2017, we headed over to Roselle and checked out the new Pollyanna Brewing location, Pollyanna's Roselare. Nestled along the train tracks, they've taken an old building and turned it in to their location for wild and sour ales. But that's not all that you'll find there – they have 24 taps of wild and sours and all the Pollyanna favorites.
The Brit headed out there on their 'soft' opening day, which by the end of the evening was really humming with a full house of punters. We pulled head brewer Brian Pawola aside and spoke with him about some of his new brews, and the new brewing styles they will be exploring. I also went into the brewing area and chatted with owner and brewery operations head, Ed Malnar.
Listen in and then head out there and experience it for yourself. Cheers!

Lactose intolerance – the milk sugar intolerance
Many people ask themselves, "What is lactose intolerance?"
The best first: All our hay milk cheeses in the Alpen Sepp Shop are lactose-free – the milk sugar was 100% utilized by the lactic acid bacteria.
People with lactose intolerance can not or only insufficiently digest milk sugar (lactose or lactose). If people take lactose-containing products, they may experience abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, or diarrhea. The reason for lactose intolerance is a deficiency or complete absence of the digestive enzyme lactase in the small intestine.
Lactose intolerance is a food intolerance due to an enzyme deficiency and not a food allergy.
Comparison: Cow's milk allergy is different
Not to be confused is lactose intolerance with the rarely occurring cow milk allergy. This is a real allergy. The human immune system reacts to proteins (proteins) in cow's milk.
Why do many people have lactose intolerance?
Presumably, about three-quarters of the world's population can no longer completely break down lactose after about 4-6 years of age. Milk is almost baby food and this situation represents a natural state.
Originally humans could digest milk sugar only during the lactation well. With the emergence of livestock and the related adult consumption of milk, a genetic change has developed in certain populations. Because of this mutation, enough lactase is also found in the small intestine of adults.
For all other people, the ability to digest lactose decreases rapidly after weaning and reduces to as much as ten percent of baseline later in life.
What happens with lactose intolerance in the body?
Milk sugar is a double sugar. In infants and adults with lactase compatibility, milk sugar molecules in the small intestine are completely broken down into their constituents with the aid of the enzyme lactase and are taken up via the mucous membrane.
If people with intolerance ingest a large amount of lactose, only part of it will split up in the small intestine. The undigested remainder enters the large intestine. The bacteria there remove the milk sugar and it comes to gas formation.
Right – it is then fermented in the colon!
This produces various organic acids and gases. Often these can cause discomfort. The undigested lactose and organic acids retain water in the colon, which can lead to soft stools and diarrhea. The increasingly accumulating intestinal gases in turn inflate the intestine. The symptoms usually increase with the amount of milk sugar consumed.

Teaching, learning and assessment
Learning and teaching methods use a blended style which means you'll have face-to-face sessions as well as taking part in online learning. Active learning is promoted via seminars, lectures and tutorials, practical workshop demonstrations, a visiting speaker programme, critiques, study visits, self-directed study, IT sessions, library and guided study, and online learning.
Online learning is delivered via the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) used by the University which is called Moodle. Moodle allows students to access learning materials and study aids either on or off the campus. The use of Moodle is of great benefit as it allows self-directed study to be completed from anywhere at any time.
Module-based design briefs offer you an insight into the professional environment; this is achieved by using simulated design briefs, client-led live briefs, and competition briefs. You'll be supported through the course by having group tutorial and critiques, one-to-one tutor feedback, and regular feedback from clients and collaborators.
Our aim is to fully engage you in the teaching and learning process and you'll be taught using methods designed to help you gain maximum benefit from your studies and fully achieve your goals.
The university will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver your course as described in its published material and the programme specification for the academic year in which you begin your course. Please be aware that our courses are subject to review on an ongoing basis. The content of course modules and mode of associated assessments may be updated on an annual basis. This is to ensure that all modules are up to date and responsive to employment and sector needs. The published course material and the programme specification contain indicative 'optional modules' that may be subject to change due to circumstances outside of our control. For this reason we cannot guarantee to run any specific optional module.

Today is New Year's Day. The first day of the year. It's fresh, new and full of possibility. Every year I make resolutions. Some I keep and some go out the window the moment I say it. This year my resolutions are simple. I resolve to wear pink on Wednesdays because, well, I like pink, and because it takes me back to my ballet days of a soft pink attitude in a strictly disciplined, very sweaty artistic world. I also resolve to drink more water. Water will give me life and energy and if I'm hydrated I will look better in my pink on Wednesdays. We girls want to be pretty. Pretty in pink. Pretty is as pretty does. Pretty is a state of mind. I am no longer denying it. I'm owning it. I'm owning the fact that I adore pink. And finally, I resolve to dance. Dance has been my friend, has saved me, made me crazy, kept me sane. Sometimes I have the opportunity to dance and I sit it out. This year, if the opportunity presents itself, by goodness, I'm going to dance! Happy New Year! I love you.

Product Description
WHAT IT TASTES LIKE: Creamy, nutty and fruity, mildly salty, with notes of mushroom. Silken texture.
WHERE IT COMES FROM: Originating from the French region of Isère, St Marcellin is a local favourite among the citizens of Lyons, the small, round, wrinkly cheese piled high on market stalls in the city. A soft, unpasteurised, mould-ripened cow's milk cheese, it was actually made from goat's milk until the 13th century. The texture of the young cheese varies from firm to very runny – sometimes it comes in a small pot to contain the oozy paste.

Amritsar, Dec 3 (PTI) Sarson Ka Saag and Dal was served to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani at "Sadda Pind"--a village especially set up to present Punjabs rich food to the delegates attending the Heart of Asia conference here.
Besides, Modi and Ghani, delegates from various countries, including Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifs Foreign Policy Advisor Sartaj Aziz, were served delicacies at "Sadda Pind".
Sadda Pind, set up as a tourist destination to showcase Punjabs culture and food, was the venue for dinner for delegates, officials said here today.
Spread over 12-acres of land, Sadda Pind is a true replica of a village in Punjab.
There was Sarson Ka Saag, Makki Ki Roti and Dal for the taste buds of dignitaries besides a number of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items.
It included Kaddi Pakora, Jeera Palao, Amritsari Kulcha, Parantha, Naan, Amritsari Phirni, Mung Dal Ka Halwa and Gulab Jamun which are part of Punjabs traditional food.

Narrow the results to find the one for you.
The ultraluxe 2013 Lexus LS 600h L impresses with power and amenities that are among the best in this class, but they come at a price many thousands of dollars more than you'd pay for its closest competitor.
It's neither pleasing on the eye nor much fun to drive, but the RX450h scores big points for its hatchback-like efficiency and plush, spacious interior.
The Lexus GS F is outgunned in the power department, but it's still a worthy high-performance sedan offering an attractive mix of punch, handling, looks, luxury and involvement from behind the wheel.
A worthy flagship luxury coupe with above average performance chops and stunning design.
Big on comfort and just plain large, the 2015 Lexus LS 460L continues to define the brand and proves to be an equal to the German luxury competition.
The 2015 Lexus NX 200t's tech, amenities, and fuel efficiency stack fairly evenly with the competition, but its slight power advantage and unique styling push it above the class average.
Lexus' new cabin tech suite helps the 2010 RX 450h keep on par with other car tech leaders, but the hybrid power train gives it a greater edge, delivering superior fuel economy and low emissions.
The 2012 Lexus CT 200h's good looks are complemented by its excellent practicality, but it lacks power and its cabin tech falls short of the cutting edge.
If looks could kill, this Lexus would be serving consecutive life terms. Too bad the in-car tech ruins an otherwise pleasant experience.
The 2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport looks like a boy racer, but it has the soul (and slightly soft performance) of a grand tourer.
The 2017 Lexus IS 200t offers an enjoyable ride with plenty of features, but should be purchased without the Remote Touch handle.
The 2015 Lexus IS 250 is a solid choice for a sporty commuter, but its nagging electronics keep it from reaching its potential as a true "sports sedan."
It's hard not to have fun in the Lexus GS F, but it's not exactly making a case for itself.
The Lexus LC looks like a million bucks without feeling the need to shout about it.
It's no performer, but as a comfy-cozy cruiser, the Lexus RC 350 is easy like Sunday morning.
Enthusiasts who like to carve up the twisties should look elsewhere, but those who need comfortable transportation should be satisfied.
The 2014 Lexus LX 570 blends the off-road pedigree of the legendary Land Cruiser with on-road comfort and manners befitting its luxury Lexus badge.
Excellent app integration with the cabin tech suite and excellent fuel economy are high points for the 2014 Lexus CT 200h, but it needs more power to justify its F Sport tuning and looks.

The ability of neurons to dynamically alter their activity in response to changes in the internal or external environment is fundamental to our brain's capacity to learn and adapt. Importantly, this remarkable plasticity must be balanced by mechanisms that ensure stable activity at the level of neural circuits. Understanding the molecular machinery that allows neurons to both be dynamic and maintain balance is a fundamental goal of our research. Perturbations in synaptic development and activity are associated with numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, including epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder. A main focus of our laboratory is to understand how molecular changes associated with these diseases lead to altered neural development and activity. To address this, we are taking a multi-systems approach incorporating molecular, genetic, biochemical, electrophysiological, and behavioral analyses in mouse models and patient-derived human cells.

Credibility and Logic in Gregory Curfmanââ¬â¢s ââ¬ÅDiet Pills Reduxââ¬Â
1. Gregory D. Curfmanââ¬â¢s piece ââ¬Å"Diet Pills Reduxâ⬠is an editorial; therefore, a reader must keep in mind that the content will focus on the authorââ¬â¢s opinion(s) and perspective(s) about a particular situation. Having read Curfmanââ¬â¢s piece, it does seem credible. The author is a physician, so his analysis of the situation can be reasonably assumed within his field of expertise, especially when one considers it is an editorial published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Dr.Curfman presents evidence for and against the use of fenfluramine and phentermine and seems concerned only with further exploration of a possible connection between the use of these drugs (separately or together) and heart disease (Curfman, 1997, passim).2. Curfman begins his piece with a summary of an outbreak of pulmonary hypertension that took place in Western Europe that was linked to the use of an appetite-suppressant drug. He goes on to reveal a European outbreak thirty years later which connected the use of an anorectic drug with more cases of pulmonary hypertension.Later, he discusses weighing the risks of using anorectic drugs against the individualââ¬â¢s need, and concludes that only those with no other recourse should be allowed to take the chance. Each of these is an example of logic without fallacy (Curfman, 1997, passim). There were fallacies in Curfmanââ¬â¢s piece. To begin with, the events and studies he cited were missing control groups and assurances that exigent factors such as patient history had been taken into account. Technically, these might be construed as misleading statistics.Because the numbers of persons negatively effected by these drugs was so low, the potential that much of his point is perhaps a non sequiturââ¬âspecifically an argument built on a slippery slope does exist. His closing remark that ââ¬Å"succumbing to the allure of diet pills as a quick fix for excess weight may be courting disasterâ⬠presents a significant logical problem: the implication that those who suffered a cardiac crisis in connection with the use of one or more of the involved drugs fall into the ââ¬Å"quick fixâ⬠categoryââ¬âthis is a hasty generalization (Curfman, 1997, passim).The overall message in the piece was not that blame must be laid, nor was it a call to halt all availability of either drug, so coupled with this piece being an editorial, even fallacy did not necessarily weaken the strength of the article in my opinion as the point seemed merely to be to convince readers that there was more to be investigated. Based on what I read, I have to agree that further investigation is warranted and that consumers must be aware of the potential dangers listed by Curfman.

Introduction: Ice Box Air Conditioner
This gadget will save your life in the summertime!
Out of desperation, in the summer of 2002, I made this improvised "air condition" unit. 2002 was the warmest summer in years, and i almost melted!
This might sound like a joke, but it truly does work. You don't need to cool down the entire room to feel comfortable. Cooling down the air in your immediate suroundings is sufficent to keep your cool.
Read on to find out how to stay cool using scrap parts you probably have lying around already.
Please rate it, if you like it :)
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Cutting Out the Parts
To make my air conditioner, i used:
1 2-liter ice box
2 ice box lids
1 80mm PC fan
1 fan grill
1 12 Volt transformer, or any other power source from 5-12 volts.
Step 2: Mounting the Nozzle and Fan
Step 3: Enjoy
Fill the container with ice. Or ice cream, if you like that vanilla aroma in the air :)
The temperature transfer happens at the surface of the ice, so the more surface, the colder the air will get. Ice cubes makes really great cold air, but melt fast. A solid block of ice doesn't get you that cool air, but can last for hours.
Hope this can save your summer too!

what is the side effects of dry ice on lungs ???
if we are make homemade air conditioner is it safe for us
Dry ice is frozen CO2. Releasing a cloud of CO2 in a small enclosed space is dangerous and should not be done as it could cause asphyxiation. Only use normal ice.
and no one answered....
construction of vent isnt necessary. cut a slit and tilt upward. also instead of ice you must replace use ice packs or capped plastic bottles of ice. modern ice packs stay frozen much longer than water. will work much better than a solid block because more frozen surface is exposed. i knew a guy who would do this and pour rock salt over the ice. i dont know how much cooler that would make the air but i would think it would be a bit cooler.
Adding salt to the water will make the ice taking longer to melt. Perhaps it alters the melting point, I guess. And one should try for as larger surface as possible, by putting the ice in smaller bottles rather than in just a big one.
Also, force the air to travel as much over the ice (ice containers, ice cubes) as possible, before letting it come out to the room.
I've just read these in other comments, somewhere here.
I think you meant the salt will make the ice not last as long.
Now if you were to put salt water in the freezer along side your ice tray, putting the ice water (or maybe it actually froze) in the container first and then add the ice to it, and the cubes may actually last longer because it will be colder than the ice. Unfortunately, the salt may cause the ice to still melt faster. Someone would have to try it to find out for sure!
no need to construct the paper vent. just make a slit and tilt it up.
Wonderful! Now I'm going to make one with a heinekeen keg, let's see what happens :)
us a frozen heatsink lmaooo
Let me guess 5V Hmmm. USB powerd would be usefull
If you used crushed ice or a bunch of ice cubes, supposedly adding table salt will stop it from melting faster... i dunno i think i saw that on popular mechanics when they made ice cream. =P
Adding salt to water lowers the freezing point. It's done with ice cream to allow the water to get colder than zero degrees Celsius. Adding the salt will also lower the specific heat, the amount of heat required to change the temperature, of the water resulting in the ice melting faster.
Yes the ice will melt faster but the air will be cooler coming out. Your choice if you want it to be cooler for a short amount of time or warmer for a long time.
u mean kinda like an accelerant?
What type of connecter did your fan have?
One possible way to cool your house is by an evaporative cooler which uses water evaporation to cool the air. This works well in dry climates; however, in more humid climates, one would need to dry out the air before it enters the cooler. One possible way to do this is to make a frame with screen over both of the open areas.The frame is filled with pellets of water softner salt and set over the intake of the evaporative cooler. When the salt gets too moist from removing water, one could set the frame with the salt still in it in bright sunlight. it would be a good idea to build two frames and fill them with salt so while one is in use, the other could be drying.
Try making pykrete. Check it out.
Your suggestion of trying Pykrete is neat, BUT... even though Pykerete WILL melt slower, that is because the wood fibers act as an INSULATOR, AND thus SLOW the transfer of heat.
That slowing of heat transfer, although extending the "life" of the ice, conversly slows the absortion of heat which is the point of any air conditionsing/cooling device.
Good thought, but bad idea.
Pykrete, I know its a special kind of ice hmm... isn't it 15% sawdust and 85% water I also know its stronger than average ice and it melts slower But I don't get what you want to do with it, I mean no one nows wat to do wid it

Oduah-Gate - Hon Dino Melaye Arrested Again On 255 Million Scandal..
Former House of Representatives member now anti-corruption crusader, Dino Melaye, was today re-arrested. Two weeks ago, he was seized by policemen at a rally in Abuja he organized against the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, concerning her part in the ongoing N255 million scandal in the Ministry.
Sources say Mr. Melaye, who leads a group called the Anti-Corruption Network which has been revealing and attacking official corruption, was taken from his office by police officers who brandished a warrant of arrest. It is also understood that his home had previously been searched. He is likely to face charges, based on a copy of his arrest warrant obtained by Saharareporters.

Exhibition on View in the Main Reading Room of the Vassar College Art Library
March 6 – April 20, 2015
For the next several weeks the Art Library is privileged to present to the Vassar community an exhibition of artists' books entitled "Misbehaving: Artists' Books by Women Artists," on view through April 20. All but one of the works in the exhibit are from the personal collection a visionary librarian and curator who helped to establish the artist's book as a significant art form, former Walker Art Center librarian Rosemary Furtak, who passed away in 2012. Among these are works by many artists who have contributed to conversations about the role of women in art and society in recent decades, including Ida Applebroog, Barbara Kruger, Joan Lyons, Laurie Simmons, Jessica Diamond, and Kiki Smith. Collectively these works provide a window into the development of the artist's book from its early days in the 1960's and 70's through to the present. They also illustrate the medium's gradual incorporation into mainstream museum culture and its literature, thanks in part to Furtak and a small handful of art librarians who followed her lead as a collector and early proponent of the genre.
III (3 Wishbones in a Wood Box). Lorna Simpson. Mixed media, 1994.
As Grace Sparapani (VC'16), who curated "Misbehaving," writes in the exhibition brochure, just what an artist's book is as a category "is hard to pin down," and is sometimes defined by negation: "whatever isn't anything else," in the words of the feminist critic Lucy Lippard. Librarians and museum curators found artists' books strange, and were perplexed as to what to do with them. To curators, although many were being produced by artists who worked in traditional media such as Ed Ruscha and Sol LeWitt, the works seemed unexhibitable and, produced in editions of many copies as multiples, purposely designed to undermine the cult status of the art object and the economics of the art market in their low cost and modest formats. To librarians, they seemed difficult to use and to integrate into conventional collections. Ruscha's Twentysix Gasoline Stations, for instance, was often classified and shelved with books about transportation. Furtak captures something of the crux of the problem in her own definition of an artists' book: "An artist's book is a book that refuses to behave like a normal book."
Food for Thought. Jessica Diamond. Mixed media, 1990.
When she arrived at the Walker in 1983, Furtak discovered the museum's handful of artists' books had indeed been placed in museum storage, unlikely to ever be used or exhibited. She "liberated" (her word) these misbehaving books from isolation and obscurity and brought them into her library. In accord with conceptual artists of her generation such as George Maciunas and Lawrence Weiner (whose "BITS AND PIECES PUT TOGETHER TO FORM A SEMBLANCE OF A WHOLE" graces the current facade of the Walker), Furtak addressed the problem of the artist's book by deploying them just as its early makers understood the work of art itself: as bearers of conversations that artists conduct with one another and with whomever else may be listening. She therefore treated them as living documents by giving them face time with the other art books on her library's shelves, incorporating them into the library collection and exhibiting them on empty shelves and tabletops, and eventually her extraordinary exhibit case (see Flickr), wherever and whenever she could. In doing so she demonstrated that artists' books could be integrated into a conventional collection as usable documents, and also that artists' books could make interesting and visually striking exhibits.
Plegable. Adislen Reyes Pino. Ink on folded board, 2005.
Furtak also began adding avidly to the collection. Beginning with a check of $500.00 given to her by Sol LeWitt as a start-up stimulus, she gradually built up one of the most important museum collections of artists' books in the world. And as Walker curator Siri Engberg describes, Furtak's library was soon transformed from a "quiet corner in the building" into the institution's "nerve center," and a place of connection and discovery for artists, curators, and other researchers. During the same period the Walker gained a reputation for being the most dynamic and influential exhibiting institution devoted to modern and contemporary art in the United States, and a nursery for innovative, risk-taking curators and directors who would go on to become forces in the art world generally, including Kathy Halbreich (MoMA), Philippe Vergne (L.A. MOCA), and Peter Eleey (PS1), who once stated he got his best ideas in the Walker library. In recent years the artist's book has come to acquire a kind of celebrity status in the museum world, with modern and contemporary museum exhibits regularly including vitrines with examples of the genre, and with so many established artists producing them.
Assemblage. Rosemary Furtak. Mixed media, 2003
Many if not most of the works in "Misbehaving" testify to a conscious identification between the early outsider status of the artist's book and the outsider status of women in the art world, and in the culture in general. Little wonder that a genre that is edgy by nature and that had its origins in subverting conventional currents of verbal and material exchange should be taken as an expressive medium by a group of artists whose voices are usually treated as out-of-place: sometimes tolerated but rarely supported or celebrated. Furtak's own piece, "Assemblage," which forms the centerpiece of our exhibit, is emblematic here. A readymade composition of found objects, the work consists of an otherwise empty cigar box containing an invitation to an Ellen von Unwerth exhibition depicting two fashionable and bare-shouldered young women. Both women are masked and show a gloved hand, one of lace and the other of leather, the latter with an index finger to her lips suggesting secrecy and misbehavior. The whole forms a kind of clasped book with a surprise inside: the surprise of women discovered hiding in a man's space, the last place a man might expect to find them, and, perhaps, in this context, a reformulation of the librarian's stereotypical shush. The piece more than holds its own with the other works in the exhibit, and silently speaks volumes about those works, about the place of women in the world in general and the art world in particular, and about Furtak's own professional practice. For the space in which she created her library and her own influence upon the art world was much like this cigar box. Furtak was not openly supported by her institution in her artists' book collecting. To create the collection she had to divert, somewhat surreptitiously, money from her annual book budget to buy artists' books, so that, essentially, over a period of twenty-nine years she built the entire collection by scrounging. Furtak was never given curator status, and paid poorly even for a librarian, which as a women's profession is traditionally undercompensated. To make ends meet she spent the early part of her career babysitting on evenings and weekends, often for the Director who hired her. Later she worked a second job as an usher and finally coffee-bar attendant at Minneapolis' Symphony Hall.
Gynecology. Joan Lyons. 1989.
Small wonder then that in her personal collecting Rosemary Furtak acquired so many works by women artists, under-represented and so often, like herself, practiced in hiding their accomplishments in plain sight. Collectively the works in this exhibit remind us that we can aid and influence others and accomplish much good even in the context of such constraints, that the cultural conversations that determine how we engage the world and one another can be carried forward, even if spoken in low tones and in spaces we occupy only marginally, perhaps toward the eventual unraveling of these limitations. Most of the works on view in this show are destined after its closing to go into the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., an institution devoted to deploying and promoting art by women toward just this outcome.

Acting President Inonge Wina has appealed to the Zambia Revenue Authority(ZRA) to proactively engage all stakeholders to help the country cultivate and sustain a positive culture of paying taxes among the citizens.
Mrs. Wina said ZRA should forge effective partnerships with other enforcement agencies to undertake joint enforcement in order to reduce enforcement costs and make tax administration more cost-effective, efficient, equitable, simple and responsive to economic growth.
Mrs. Wina said this during the official opening of the ZRA Service Centre at the Cosmopolitan mall in Lusaka yesterday.
She said there is need to ensure that there are no sacred cows in the tax system hence, the need to make the taxes fair for every tax payer as there is one sure way of reducing the poverty levels for people than them having more disposable income.
Mrs. Wina commended the ZRA for reforming and modernizing its operations to suit the needs and expectations of its stakeholders.
She stated that it is only through such initiatives of taking services closer to the people that voluntary tax compliance will increase in the country.
Mrs. Wina noted that it is important to reduce the cost of compliance for the people if the country is to widen the tax base.
She said government will like to see that while Zambians pay taxes, the tax burden should not stifle their livelihoods.
Mrs. Wina is hopeful that the minister of finance will consider the plea of not burdening ordinary Zambians with taxes as she presents the 2019 National Budget.
She said the Patriotic Front has not deviated from the desire to put more money in the people's pocket as it has been the founding principal of the party manifesto and remains committed to it.
Mrs. Wina added that, the desire of government is that tax administration should be more consultative and responsive to the peculiar needs of all taxpayers.
She said government will continue to support initiatives aimed at strengthening stakeholder engagement and enhancing the public confidence in the country's revenue mobilization systems.
Mrs. Wina explained that at the same time, it is important to ensure that the tax burden is fairly distributed according to the principal of ability to pay and if taxpayers in reciprocation voluntarily recognize their moral and civic duty to pay taxes.
And ZRA Commissioner General Kingsley Chanda revealed that the institution's intention is to increase its presence throughout the country in order to make it easier for people to pay taxes.
Mr. Chanda explained that that is the reason for continuously taking services closer to the people.
Meanwhile, Acting Minister of Finance, Emerine Kabanshi said the ZRA Service Centre will not only increase revenue collection for the provision of public goods and services but will also reduce the cost of compliance for the taxpaying public.
She assured ZRA of continued support to achieve sustained modernization and automation of revenue collection processes coupled with an upscale in taxpayer education and advisory services.

Chapter 164: Legionnaires (2)
"This is too crazy, right?!"
"Isn't this testing us all by himself?"
"Is his spiritual force enough?"
"You kidding me?"
Instantly, the whole audience roared in clamor. However, this racket swiftly abated. This was because Xu Yangyi's title was quite long.
Disciple of Daomaster Ancientpine. The Nantong Province Paragon of five years ago. A survivor from under Vermilion Snow's hand. The pill master's sole liaison and… an rank Legion Commander.
If it was only one title, it was possible that some people would even believe it to be luck. But so many titles… none further dared to believe this was luck.
"Well said!" Before the voices even fell, a loud shout echoed: "Dongshan Province's Meng Clan! This generation's seventh-ranked disciple, Meng Butong. Please confer your teaching!"
Donned in a black ancient-style martial attire, a man with a crew cut leaped ten-plus meters and hopped right on the martial stage.
Boom! As he fell, the sand and dust that covered the ground rose up. Even countless cracks extended from the place where the soles of his feet were located. His height wasn't that tall, roughly around 1.7 meters, but from this, it was further visible how astonishing his mass was! He was practically a 500 kilogram weight!
"Fellow Daoist Xu." He prudently cupped his hands: "Today, in the presence of a good many genius disciples of noble lineages, allow me to be the first to receive the teaching of Commander Xu's great skill!"
"That's Dongshan Province's Meng Clan." Below, many people's eyes flashed with a spirited light: "They cultivate an extremely rare body art. Legend says that the Meng Clan possess a section of the Tang dynasty's black-armored calvary's body-refining arcane effort. It's different from other body-refining divine abilities. The more its cultivated, the shorter one's stature will get, but their power will become more astonishing. According to cultivators who've engaged in arcane combat with them, the wave of a fist holds a strength no less than a 1,000 kilograms!"
"Nothing but an iron lump." The feminine man at the side of Old Man Ge covered his mouth and nose and said loathingly: "Is there anything good-looking about a pretty boy and an iron lump? My lord, could it be that I really have to join this Xingtian Legion thing?"
Elder Ge massaged his temples achingly. The aptitude of this descendant was indeed fiendish, but his character was likewise cruel and untamed, and his eyes held room for no others.
"Qianqun, you must join the Xingtian Legion."
Ge Qianqun snorted coldly and said no more.
"The Meng Clan's body cultivation is very fierce, but their obtained arcane efforts have a flaw." Another cultivator said: "Because the cycle of qi in their bodies is restricted, they… are the only clan unable to fly at Foundation Establishment."
"But can it be said that Commander Xu is able to resist his punch?"
"Every opportunity has to be seized… but there's really no fuss about how it's to be gained."
"I don't even know what level this Fellow Daoist Meng cultivated up to, but if by chance, Commander Xu can resist this fist…"
Everyone spoke no further. The thoughts within each person's heart were all the same: Don't be picked!
Altogether, the quota was ten. One position taken was one position less! Over a hundred gazes all converged on the martial stage. Meng Butong was without half a bit of complacency and breathed in deeply. In the next instant, his seven apertures shocking emitted rays of black light!
After three seconds of silence, the floor below exclaimed in surprise all around: "The second level! The second level of the Meng Clan's Nine Gods Body Forging Art! He's just the middle stage of Qi Condensation!"
"It's said that this level is impervious to sword and spear, encroached by neither water nor fire! A fist purely without spiritual force is simply incapable of piercing the other's protective qi!"
"This person should be a top-three cultivator ranked in the Meng Clan! Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn't be able to comprehend the second level at the middle stage!"
A ring of black qi indistinctly took form outside of Meng Butong's body. At the same time, his body fiercely swelled with a great ring! The clothing on both his arms and his legs had totally ruptured apart! His body appeared to be shrouded with the aura of a ferocious beast!
Xu Yangyi calmly watched him. He didn't know what the outside world was saying or their many gasps of surprise. He only knew that this person would not pass. Did Meng Butong truly believe… his fist was so easily received?
Five years ago, Luo Sanfeng had been sent flying with a kick, unable to put up a minor shred of resistance. Two years ago, the personnel of three great legions had similarly been kicked flying, still not putting up half a bit of resistance!
"He's probably… equal to Chu Zhaonan from back then…" Yet Xu Yangyi had long since not been the him of that time! "You won't do." He said said tranquilly: "Go back down, alright?"
A single line dazed everyone. Meng Butong even more so. In the next second, a nameless anger charged forth from his heart! Won't do? What a joke! In his clan, when hadn't he been a genius praised by all?! Now… his hand yet to even stir, Xu Yangyi had actually said he wouldn't do! He had broken through to the second level of the Nine Gods Body Forging Art before thirty years old! How was he incapable?!
"Good or not, you'll naturally know once you try." Meng Butong's eyes concealed a wisp of deep anger: "Commander Xu, make your move."
Xu Yangyi looked into his eyes: "In order to determine whether a true genius reaches qualifications, I won't be pulling back with this fist."
"Hehe…" Meng Butong's spirit and will flourished even more within his heart: "Come at me!"
Xu Yangyi laughed: "At the side, there is prepared pill elixir. Fellow Daoist need not be worried."
"Hahaha!" Meng Butong finally turned upwards and roared in laughter. After no less than ten-odd seconds, he then looked fiercely towards Xu Yangyi: "Commander Xu, I deny your words!"
"This humble one has cultivated for almost two decades! After my middle-stage breakthrough, the Meng Clan passed down its supreme art! I've struggled countless of times! Although I'm no absolute genius, I have the faith that I'm not so bad that I'm unable to even resist your first!"
Xu Yanyi nodded deeply, not saying anything. Instead, he assumed a military-boxing stance. This was his most familiar starting gesture from Heavens Law. "In that case, be careful, Fellow Daoist." He said insipidly.
"COME AT ME!!!" Meng Butong bellowed, and black qi cloaked him even more vigorously!
The chaotic flow of battle torrented swiftly, gushing forth like wind and thunder. The line in this ancient poem described the speed. However, in the next instant, Meng Butong… went flying straight back!
A majority of people only felt a blur to the eye, essentially without any reaction! At minimum, 50% of people were still watching the martial stage, but an intense wind in front of them was closely followed by a rumbling sound behind them!
However, the gazes of at least twenty-plus people immediately transformed from the earnestness of moments ago into extreme graveness! At the same time, in the wake of that sound of wind, the eyes of twenty-plus people followed over with a swish!
"What speed!" At this moment, Quan Ningyue's hand tightly gripped her hammer for the first time. She watched that intense wind in amazement. She had seen it clearly… Seen it extremely clearly!
The very front of the intense wind was a person. A person with incredulity smeared across his face! Meng Butong! The black luminance that covered him from head to toe had been completely broken apart! The inside of his mouth was filled with blood, and his pupils reflected the increasingly distant silhouette of Xu Yangyi. He simply hadn't seen it! How was he flying away?! It wasn't even until he flew straight back a distance of several meters that the pain of his abdomen bubble forth like a tide! It didn't even give him enough time to shout!
Swoosh… Reddust Executioner Twelve's eyes flashed with a sharp radiance, his gaze like a falcon. His pupils were different from everyone elses, surprisingly rhombus-shaped pupils akin to a snake's! He only caught a glimpse of Meng Butong's incredulous face. Afterwards, he promptly turned his head towards Xu Yangyi.
What power!
This was his first reaction! This… wasn't even a move that exhausted Xu Yangyi's maximum strength, but it was so inconceivably fast! At least in the middle stage of Qi Condensation! He thought highly of himself, but even for him, it absolutely wasn't easy to attain such speed unless he completely activated his bodily divine abilities!
The bald youth stood up. The tattoos all over his body strangely began to squirm. He looked deeply at Xu Yangyi for a long time and finally spread wide his mouth to laugh.
"Good technique, good strength, good speed… good talent! This kind of legion is the aggregate of geniuses that I've been expecting! I might be someone this commander views importantly; his talents are in no way below my own!"
It was deathly still. A death-like quietness.
After several seconds, a majority of people then began to turn their necks with a cracking, looking at the kicked-up smoke and dust behind them in shock.
The surroundings of Meng Butong's body had smashed in a ten-meter-square depression. The him at this moment had already blacked out completely, spasming in unconsciousness. A line of blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
Several tens of gazes looked at Meng Butong and then towards Xu Yangyi who was cupping his hands at everyone. They looked at Meng Butong and then at Xu Yangyi again, endlessly cycling in a loop.
This strength...
This power...
In the turn of a wink, the hilarious effect left behind by the prior prologue that could've been said to be a comedy instantly faded away without a trace. It was removed and replaced with only one other kind of thought!
Originally, many people had believed that receiving a fist couldn't possibly be difficult at all. There was probably still an interview and an inquiry about their respective personal strengths, nothing more than the acceptance of excellence.
But now they knew. By no measure or pace was a fist a joke! This fist that Command Xu had spoken of was just a single fist! Unquestionably without the slightest falsehood! Even if there was an interview later, that was still business after taking this fist!
Zhao Wuye's hand holding onto Zhao Ziqi was trembling. He said shrilly: "What speed… What speed! What powerful strength! T-this trial by fire… is really difficult… Too difficult! Is this even human?"
Suddenly, he felt… how was it that his hand was trembling so violently? He doubtfully turned his head and glanced, but surprisingly discovered that the pupils within Zhao Ziqi's eyes… had already become taijis! They circled around endlessly without stop! As for their target, they directly faced Xu Yangyi!
"The Netherpierce Eye?! The Netherpierce Eye automatically activated?!" In a twinkling, Zhao Wuye's whole back broke into a cold sweat. The Netherpierce Eye was the Zhao Clan's greatest secret. Due to Zhao Ziqi's power, it was impossible to have an elder aid him in activating it by himself!
No! All of a sudden, Zhao Wuye was immediately dazed like he was struck by lightning. No… there was another kind of situation… That was… there was someone in the present venue… able to lead directly to the netherworld… or… a dead man! A person who was still alive… and had once died… yet had come back to life!
"Ziqi…" Forthwith, he stood at Zhao Ziqi's side and obstructed his eyes, asking softly: "What did you see?"
"So terrifying…" Zhao Ziqi's hand was shaking fiercely, and he tightly grabbed onto Zhao Wuye, even causing the other some pain. His cracking voice murmured: "T-that big b-brother on s-stage, h-he's not human…"
Zhao Wuye's sweat poured like rain, and he restrained his madly beating heart. He gritted his teeth and asked lowly: "Not human?"
"I didn't see it clearly, fifth uncle… That big brother… is hiding a very horrible aura on his body… He himself has death qi and life qi… The two extremes of black and white are in his shadow… It's so weird… Hold on… Countless, I-I seem to have saw… leaves?"
Xu Yangyi was simply none the wiser that a pair of eyes was watching him full of fright. He cupped his hands and continued: "Next."
The entire audience was silent and motionless.
Xu Yangyi's intention was rather clear. Those with insufficient qualifications, don't waste time. If one was determined to come, he wouldn't mind making them leave, but later job applications from this clan would be regarded as cut of from the Dao of Pills.
However… over the course of that fist just now, everyone's hearts possessed a steelyard.
A minute, two minutes, and a full three minutes passed, but Xu Yangyi wasn't worried. Just like so, he watched everyone as if he was strolling idly in a courtyard, similar to a challenger open to contest on the martial arena.

Day 56
I wanted to do some sightseeing today, so I got a map of the city from the front desk at my hotel. For the first time since getting here two days ago, I found out that I was in the southeastern corner of the city. The first place I went was the Plaza 10 de Febrero, the plaza at the center of the city. Full of trees and aligned with park benches, it was a peaceful place to hang out for awhile.
I spotted an Internet cafe just outside of the plaza, so I figured I'd check my email and maybe stay for half an hour or so. When I saw that the computers had Windows Millennium (probably the worst operating system ever invented), I figured I'd be out of there in ten minutes. However, I quickly changed my mind when I saw how fast the connection was. In record time, I had installed all of my necessary software and was uploading photos three times faster than on the Windows XP machine next to my hotel. Maybe I'll have to rethink the whole Windows Millennium sucking thing. I ended up staying for over three hours and got all of my pictures uploaded.
The only other things on my map that looked worth seeing were the museum of anthropology and the zoo, which were located right next to each other, although they were on the other side of town. I thought about taking a taxi, but I figured I could use the exercise and started walking. According to the map, I could walk almost straight there from where I was, but part of the map was removed so they could print the title. Still, I was on a street called "La Plata," and that street was listed on the other side of the gap, so I started walking down it.
After a few blocks, the street started to slant uphill. The further I walked, the steeper it got. Soon, I was at the top of the city. The problem was that the street appeared to end at the top of the hill and I had no idea if I had walked too far because none of the cross streets had signs listing their names. Sometimes it's almost impossible to know what street you're on here.
Out of options, I walked back down the hill to a street on the map that didn't get cut off. Soon I realized that the museum was on the other side of the hill, so I had to walk around it. From now on, I'll have to remember that if a city map in South America has an area that is cut out to make room for the title, that part of the map is a huge hill that I should avoid.
Eventually, I made my way to the museum. I could definitely tell that this was not a tourist town when they charged me three boliviano's (32 cents) to enter, the same price they charged the locals. If this had been La Paz, I probably would've had to have paid 80. The museum was pretty small, but it and had a bunch of ancient artifacts and textiles from the area. Maybe I've gone to too many similar museums, because I didn't really enjoy myself there.
The zoo was only a block away from the museum. It was much smaller than the zoos back home, but it only cost 25 cents to get in, so it was worth checking out. The best animal on display was the panther, but they also had lots of birds, monkeys, and cats. I even finally got to see what an Andean condor looks like! Well, kind of. About half the zoo was closed off, so I imagine it will be much bigger in the future. At least the guys doing arc welding on the ground right next to me as I walked passed them seemed to think so.
Still feeling somewhat restless, I made the long walk all the way across the city back to my hotel. I spent most of the night working on my blog. Now that I've seen what Oruro has to offer, I'm definitely ready to leave town.
The photo album for this entry is here.
