OMG This is just GLORIOUS DEAREST!AND HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!! It is so good to see you my sweet friend! Our fine arts museum here in Minneapolis is similar, with rooms like this that just keep you spellbound. I am so glad to hear that you are PAINTING! AND YES, I finally opened up my Etsy. It took weekends of planning and setting it up and NOW, I am selling on a regular basis. This weekend, I am stocking up and managing it, and it is a lot of work, piled on top of my full-time job and one of my favorite things: BLOGGING! That is why I don't have a new post up yet! So here I am, trying to figure out what I will post....
I wish you a lovely weekend my dear heart! Anita

I love going to Museums too! How lovely is this museum?? I only thought these types existed in Europe. I'm hoping to go to the palace in Caserta near Naples tomorrow. Apparently the King at the time wanted to outdo Versailles. I'll let you know if it is better.
Have a wonderful weekend sweetie!

I don't think I'd ever want to leave that place. It looks so majestic! I remember the time my mom and I went to the Smithsonian in DC she literally had to drag me out the museum because I am in awe with all the exhibits. Lol. And the time my boyfriend and I went to ripleys I had to look at everything they showcased.
I'm a sucker for historical items but was never a history buff. Your photographs are amazing! Makes me want to go visit it myself.

Today, New York University professor Jay Rosen--who refers to "the people formerly known as the audience" as a signal of audience power--weighs in with a positive case study, How the Backchannel Has Changed the Game for Conference Panelists. If you are organizing, speaking at or just attending a conference, meeting or workshop, I think it's a must-read because it is:
- A positive and achievable primer on how to put together a panel discussion that maintains high quality content, configured for today's audiences and the backchannel that comes with them.
- A vision of how to merge the audience's needs and those of the speakers, mixing advance information and promotion with in-person followup on the backchannel and face-to-face at the end of the session. In doing so, it manages the backchannel, but offers the structure that speakers, organizers and many audience members want to see. (Witness the discussion on the Tactical Philanthropy blog, where conference organizers elicited audience opinioins on how and whether to structure panel discussions at an upcoming conference. These comments "in defense of panel discussions" remind you not to throw the panel baby out with the bathwater, so to speak.) But note that Rosen recommends leaving 40 percent of the time for Q&A--a must.
- A demonstration that content planning can and should include diversity, just as much a current force as social networking. This panel had a diversity of professional perspectives, an African-American, three whites, a woman and three men. As Rosen said, "People notice," as this audience member noted on Twitter.
- A step-by-step look at what to do before, during and after a panel. Too many speakers and organizers just let panels happen without thinking through the content, flow, space for adjustments that need to be made in real time, and how to give the audience (in the room and outside the room on the backchannel) the information it needs and wants.
Don't forget that there are other great resources for you to consult on managing the backchannel, including:
- Cliff Atkinson's book The Backchannel: How Audiences are Using Twitter and Social Media and Changing Presentations Forever, written after what he observed at the SXSW conference last year; and
- Olivia Mitchell's free e-book on speaking and Twitter, designed as a companion to the Backchannel book, with updates on new technology and other aids for managing panels and talks with a backchannel component.

What are side-impact air bags (SABs) and where are they located?
Side-impact air bags (SABs) are inflatable devices that are designed to help protect your head and/or chest in the event of a serious crash involving the side of your vehicle. There are three main types of SABs: chest (or torso) SABs, head SABs and head/chest combination (or "combo") SABs.
Chest (or torso) SABs are mounted in the side of the seat or in the door and are designed to help protect an adult's chest in a serious side-impact crash.
Seat-mounted SAB
Door-mounted SAB
Head SABs are usually mounted in the roof rail above the side windows and are designed to help protect an adult's head in a side-impact crash. There are two types of head SABs: curtain SABs and tubular SABs. Typically, curtain SABs help protect both front and rear occupants in a side-impact crash; some may also provide protection from ejection if your car rolls over after being struck on the side.
Curtain SAB
Tubular SAB
(with a door-mounted chest SAB)
Head/chest combination ("combo") SABs are usually mounted in the side of the seat and are typically larger than chest (or torso) SABs. Combo SABs are designed to help protect both the head and chest of an adult.
Combination (or "combo") SAB
All photos courtesy of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
Consult your owner's manual or vehicle manufacturer for specific information on your vehicle's side air bag system.
SABs inflate in a fraction of a second and are designed to help keep your head and/or chest from being hit by hard objects both inside and outside your vehicle in serious side-impact crashes. Sensors determine whether a crash is severe enough to inflate the SABs. Unlike frontal air bags, some of the side curtain air bags may stay inflated for several seconds during a crash for additional protection in the event of a rollover.
Can a vehicle have both front and side air bags?
Yes, some vehicles are equipped with both front and side air bags. Frontal air bags have been standard equipment in all passenger cars since model year 1998 and all SUV's, pickups and vans since model year 1999. SABs are being offered as standard or optional equipment on many new passenger vehicles.
What are the benefits of SABs?
SABs can provide significant safety benefits to adults in side impact crashes. NHTSA estimates that if all the vehicles on U.S. roads were equipped with head protection SABs, 700 to 1,000 lives would be saved per year in side impact crashes. NHTSA also estimates that, in side-impact crashes involving at least one fatality, nearly 60 percent of those killed have suffered brain injuries.
Does the Federal government regulate SABs?
Unlike front air bags, SABs are not required by NHTSA. Because they are not required safety equipment, the federal government does not mandate that vehicles be equipped with SABs. NHTSA has recently proposed an upgrade to the federal standard for side impact protection. The standard establishes occupant protection performance requirements, but does not mandate particular technologies to meet those requirements. Manufacturers may meet this upgraded rule with various types of innovative head, chest, and pelvis protection systems, such as SABs.
What has been done to minimize risks from SABs?
A group of experts representing the automotive and insurance industries and known as the Technical Working Group (TWG) has developed voluntary SAB testing procedures to minimize the potential risk of SAB-related injuries for occupants, especially children, who are seated very close to a deploying SAB (called "out-of-position").
Manufacturers now report to the government if the SABs in a given vehicle model have met the voluntary TWG out-of-position testing procedures. NHTSA provides this information to consumers in our "Buying a Safer Car" brochure and at our www.safercar.gov Website. Vehicles whose SABs meet all the voluntary guidelines are designated with an "M" for Meets requirement in the column labeled "SAB Out of Position Testing" in the Available Features chart for each vehicle at www.safercar.gov. If your vehicle does not have an "M," you should check your owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for their recommendation on where your child should be seated in that vehicle.
Although out-of-position testing procedures are very good at identifying "aggressive" SABs and are intended to minimize risks to children and small adults seated next to them, they are not intended to replicate all possible scenarios.
How do I know if my SABs were designed to minimize risks to children?
Prior to the development of the recommended TWG performance guidelines for SABs (see #6 above), many chest (torso) and head/chest combination (combo) SABs showed a potential for serious or fatal injury to children seated very close to the deployment of the bag. However, very few cars sold in the U.S. have these types of SABs in the rear seating positions. The first head SABs were introduced in model year 1998, but did not become widely available until recently. NHTSA has not seen any indication that current roof-mounted head SABs pose a risk to children. Many roof-mounted SABs now extend rearward to include the second and even the third row seating positions.
Vehicles that meet the voluntary TWG guidelines will have an "M" for Meets requirement in the column labeled "SAB Out of Position Testing" in the Available Features chart of each vehicle's page at www.safercar.gov. If your vehicle does not have an "M," you should check your owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer to find out whether your car's SABs are safe for children.
The best way to find out what type of SAB your vehicle has is to look in your owner's manual or to check with your dealer.
This information also is available at www.safercar.gov by viewing an individual vehicle's Available Features chart.
What are NHTSA's recommendations regarding child passenger safety and SABs?
All air bags (frontal or side) are supplemental safety devices and are intended to work best in combination with safety belts. Therefore, even with SABs that meet TWG testing procedures (see #6 above), make sure that:
NHTSA has not seen any indication of risks to children from current roof-mounted head SABs.
What is the real world experience with children and SABs?
NHTSA crash investigators actively seek out cases where SABs have deployed in crashes. So far, 92 cases have been investigated; of these only 6 involve children. There have been no moderate or serious injuries to children from SAB deployments, and only one minor injury - a skin laceration from an SAB cover. This small number of cases involves a limited number of vehicles with SABs and may not be representative of the variety of SAB systems currently available. NHTSA continues to closely monitor the real world performance of SABs involving children and adults.
Did NHTSA issue a Consumer Advisory warning against seating children near SABs?
Yes. In 1999, prior to the establishment of the TWG voluntary guidelines, NHTSA issued a Consumer Advisory warning consumers not to seat children next to activated SABs. At that time nearly all of the SABs in the rear seat were chest (torso) or head/chest combination SABs. However, the information provided in this Web page supercedes the 1999 Consumer Advisory and reflects the agency's most current understanding regarding the protection provided by SABs and any potential risk to children seated near them. NHTSA is monitoring the new SAB technologies and will continue to provide consumers with additional updates as more information becomes available.
What do I do if my car has pre-TWG SABs?
Consult your owner's manual or call your vehicle manufacturer for their recommendation on where your child should be seated in your vehicle.

I am pretty sure that Zooey is the best thing since sliced bread. I don't know a blogger out there that doesn't love her. She is an amazing woman and actor and I would die to just be able to spend some time with the woman. Great post.

Staring into the I of God
The sun is always rising -- its myriad rays pouring outward from the center toward the periphery, breaking out into all things visibly, and silently transmuting all that lives into mirror-images of their own brightness.
Every morning the sun reappears once more to regulate and nourish the generative pulse of life, exciting and uplifting all that lives to greater fulfillment, unfoldment and abundance.
In all the natural world there exists nothing that remains untouched by the light and warmth of the sun. Its plenary influence is diffused throughout the whole of the visible world, and, wheresoever it rises, its shining is always full and whole.
Every rising of the sun is the creation of a new world. The sun reveals itself, and thereby reveals all that lives within its light also.
The sun is so vibrantly, exuberantly alive that its mere presence in the sky is sufficient enough to bring the miracle of material life to blossom and fruition. The sun need simply be-- and uncounted billions of happenings immediately begin to flourish and abound. Its presence is prodigious enough to hold the Earth itself in its steady gravitational orbit, yet delicate enough to lift the sap in the tender veins of a leaf.
Sunlight reveals reality to us. It enables us to see as well as be seen. No matter where the gaze of our eyes may fall-- if we see any shape or color at all, we are beholding the light of the sun.
All matter is, in essence, condensed sunlight. Each and every aspect of manifest Creation is a frozen artifact of Light.
And what is Light?
--It is the visible manifestation of pure Consciousness-- both the generative combustion which continuously brings to birth the wide Universe, as well as the fevered ecstasy to which each and every atom in the physical Cosmos aspires.
Light is not only a fiery suffusion streaming forth from the sun and the other stars-- Light is a living Spirit manifesting Itself here and now as the material Creation.
We are beings of pure Spirit condensed into matter, pure Consciousness condensed into mind, pure Light condensed into beings of light.
How liberating it is, to know the Sun as God incarnate, to look God in the face every morning, to have God showering you with deific Light and Life every waking moment! This is a God who cannot be denied, debunked or disproved. Here is a God immediately accessible to all, who makes of every man a prophet, every woman a priestess. Here is a God that demands no sacrifices, to whom no one need pray …
Here is a God we have all known all along. Pray and worship as we might, our beseechings and oblations will never make the Sun shine brighter, or hotter, or rise sooner, or set later. … But we can know the physics by which He offers Himself lavishly; we can all understand Who and What He is, and thereby what we are. …
He gives all we could ever need or want, and gives incessantly, shining equally upon all, pouring Himself into each and every one of us… Our reverence for His Divinity only serves to make us more divine; our songs in praise of His Holiness only serve to make us more holy. Everything we do in service to Him immediately comes back to us, a thousandfold. … His Living Light is ever-present, always streaming forth inexhaustibly. He enjoys us even as we enjoy Him; it is He who walks this Earth in our every step; it is He who is both hidden and revealed in every face. …
There is but one Spirit, one Breath, one Life, one Energy pervading all the Universe -- LIGHT!
The original Impetus of conscious Life is here and now present everywhere just the same as it was in the beginning, in all things that live, no matter how great and small, near or far-- filling each inch of space and every moment of time, empowering the spin of the smallest electron the same as the revolution of the vastest stars!

Namsate, my brother you have created a 1derful site here. I am honored to join and follow. Respective of this one blog the sun does deserve great worship for it's magnificient being. Addenda to the light of the sun you may be interested to know that Nordic scientists have proven the effects of the sound of the sun on life are also remarkable. As an example, much study has been now completed on the effects of different sound waves on the structural makeup of the water molecule. As hydrogen is a common component of all life these studies truly reflect the essence of sound visa-vis the human experience. It was found that the most magnificient structural creations occured when the sound of the sun was exposed to the water. Your readership is I am sure familiar also with the effects of the egoic mind on our body relative to most common diseases like cancer. Exposing yourself to the sound of the sun is the greatest facilitator of your good health.

wait a second...are you saying that the sun is God??
- 6:10 pm, November 19, 2009
- Ascension Blog said...
The Sun is absolutely the physical manifestation of God - the streaming photonic masterpiece piercing the awaiting womb of Earth Matter, where she provides our sustenance and form.
In honesty, as a youth-in-mind I began a process of slow suicide, spiritually damaging myself, and Divine Father literally grabbed me and held me until I was forced to admit both his presence, his control over his creation and the overwhelming amount of love he has for every single aspect of his creations. ALL. There is nothing and no one who is not worthy of receiving his unending unconditional pervasive LOVE.
From Divine Father's Inspiration of our existence projected into Divine Mother's Gestation, humanity is born once into the world then born again to the world beyond...
Om Aa Hum --- AUM
After that, I'm afraid it's beyond my current understanding... but I do believe my Divine Mother when she said that "no one knows how far it completely goes."

Automated Intelligent Decision MakingBy Tony Shaw Print
Web 3.0 will enable an unprecedented level of intelligence in almost all systems and applications.
Automated Intelligent Decision Making: Amdocs
Amdocs is a $3 billion enterprise that provides "customer experience" on behalf of its clients in service industries such as telecom, health care, utilities and insurance. Creating high-quality, cost-effective customer interaction requires real-time contextual knowledge across all business channels, from internal sources, such as service disruptions and policy management, to external forces, such as social trends and competitive offers.
Only with holistic system awareness can Amdocs provide service representatives with the ability to deliver customer satisfaction and drive the profitability of the business—and do it at a scale of millions of transactions a day.
To address this need, Amdocs created a system that is predictive, personalized and self-learning. Using Web 3.0 semantic technologies, the company combines information from a variety of sources in real time to anticipate the reason for a customer's call. Appropriate responses to customers can be generated 30 percent faster, which makes for much happier customers and more consistent, productive service operations. It also reduces customer churn and improves up-selling.
New Data Access Flexibility: U.S. Department of Defense
Supporting the business activities of the U.S. Department of Defense accounts for more than half of the DoD's budget. A long history of piecemeal IT systems and services implementation has produced a level of complexity, redundancy and cost that is simply unsustainable.
The solution to this quagmire might be emerging from the test bed of a new SOA-based business intelligence architecture. The system uses Web 3.0 semantic technologies, from Revelytix, to create an agile, federated query environment.
The concept is relatively simple: By defining pieces of information unambiguously, they become "plug and play." Information is usable and recombinable quickly and cheaply.
This approach to building information systems is similar to the way electronic systems are created with different combinations of standard components. The goal is to pull data in real time, as needed, from individual systems rather than going through time-consuming and time-delayed ETL (extraction, transformation and loading) processes. The system will be more flexible, lightweight, less invasive and less costly to maintain over time.
Planning and Configuration Management: Elastra
Elastra is using Web 3.0 technologies to support the automated planning of its cloud-based computing services. This functionality exploits one of the key Web 3.0 "smart" capabilities: the ability to reason, or automatically make intelligent decisions about the optimal course of action.
Consider Elastra's high-end, large-scale service offerings, which require complex configuration-management processes to deploy multitier applications—possibly across a hybrid public/private cloud, and potentially with hundreds or thousands of security, policy, network and services options.
Elastra's approach is to use an automated hierarchical planning tool in combination with the industry-standard Pellet reasoning engine (both from Clark & Parsia). Ordinarily, this could be accomplished with standard rules-based system approaches, but the reasoning tools allow the company to manage thousands of potential configuration possibilities within seconds, without having to specifically program every rule. This allows Elastra to keep the system updated for new options with relatively modest maintenance effort.

The one- or two-story air-conditioned, Swiss chalet-style cabins are within a small park, making it a simile residential neighbourhood in the mountain. The carpeta (reception desk) and restaurant are housed independently from the cabins and are both inviting and functional. There is a small bar, which serves a variety of mixed drinks, which can also be enjoyed on the front veranda of the reception hall to take in the mountain vistas.
In a completely natural environment, Villa Caburni waits for you to turn your vacations into an unforgettable memory.

Three courses designed for a general audience will be presented during the week-long Summer Seminar program at HopeCollege this year.
The seminars will run Monday-Friday, July 30-Aug 3. The courses are "Creative Writing: What's to Fear? Writing Poems for All the Good Reasons," "Creative Writing: Short Fiction/Postcards and Radios," and "Creative Writing: Memoir."
The seminars will meet concurrently from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the air-conditioned Van Zoeren Hall on the Hope campus. Refreshments will be provided during mid-morning breaks.
All of the courses are available for undergraduate credit, on an audit basis or for graduate credit, depending on the needs of the enrollee. Class sizes are limited to 15 students per course.
"Creative Writing: What's to Fear? Writing Poems for All the Good Reasons"" will emphasize writing poetry, with feedback coming primarily from the class members with the instructor responsible for writing prompts and providing artistic information. The course will be taught by Jack Ridl, professor emeritus of English.
"Creative Writing: Short Fiction/Postcards and Radios" will explore short fiction, sometimes called postcards, and short creative nonfiction, sometimes called radios. Students will read examples of each and also craft works of their own. The course will be taught by Carla Vissers, adjunct assistant professor of English.
"Creative Writing: Memoir" will give students the opportunity to craft a variety of "snapshot" accounts of moments from their lives, ranging from everyday joys and sorrows to major events. The course will be taught by David James, adjunct associate professor of English and director of the writing center at Hope.
Enrollment for each seminar costs $220 for those who wish to audit, $360 for one hour of undergraduate credit or graduate credit, and $720 for two hours of undergraduate credit. Pre-registration is advised, although final registration will be on Monday, July 30, from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. in Van Zoeren Hall, which is located along 10th Street between Central and College avenues.
Those interested in attending a seminar should call the Hope College Registrar's Office at (616) 395-7760.

Integral sees a GRB out of the corner of its eye
Thanks to a clever piece of design and a sophisticated piece of analysis by European astronomers, Integral - ESA's orbiting gamma ray observatory - can now make images of the most powerful gamma-ray bursts even if the spacecraft itself is pointing somewhere completely different.
Scientists know that once every day or two, a powerful gamma ray burst (GRB) will take place somewhere in the Universe. Most will last between 0.1 and 100 seconds, so if your telescope is not pointing in exactly the right place at the right time, you will miss taking an image of it – unless that telescope is Integral. The satellite can now take images round corners, if the gamma-ray blast is strong enough.
When GRB 030406 exploded unexpectedly in early April this year, Integral was observing another part of the Universe, about 74 times the diameter of the full Moon away. Nevertheless Dr Radoslaw Marcinkowski, Space Research Center, Warsaw, Poland, and colleagues have reconstructed an image of the event using the radiation that passed through the side of Integral's imaging telescope.
The key is that the Imager on-Board Integral Satellite (IBIS) uses two detector layers, one on top of the other. Most gamma-ray telescopes contain just a single detector layer. In IBIS, the higher energy gamma rays trigger the first detector layer, losing some energy in the process, but they are not completely absorbed. This is known as Compton scattering. The deflected gamma rays then pass through to the layer below where they can be captured and absorbed because they have given up some energy in their passage through the first layer.
"In this way, we are able to capture and analyse the higher energy gamma rays," says Marcinkowski. IBIS can now see around corners because Marcinkowski realised that gamma rays from the most powerful GRBs would pass through the lead shielding on the side of the telescope, then through the first detector layer before coming to rest in the second layer. The scatter locations in the two detector layers and the energy deposits can then be used to determine the direction of the GRB.
Marcinkowski had heard of Integral registering a solar flare in this way even though the satellite wasn't pointing at the Sun. He thought that if it worked with solar flares, it must work with the most powerful GRBs. On 6 April 2003, his hunch was proved correct, Integral provided an accurate location for GRB 030406 even though it was not looking in the burst's direction.
Until now, the science teams have been forced to rely on luck that the satellite was pointing to the right place at the right time because GRBs are unpredictable. At present, they image about one a month. The Compton scattering technique could raise the number of Integral catches by 50 percent. "We believe that using this method we can image between 2 and 5 more bursts per year," says Marcinkowski.
The team now hope to fully automate the analysis routine that recognises the signals and localises them. This would mean that the software could run automatically at the Integral Science Data Centre (ISDC) in Geneva, Switzerland and automatically alert astronomers to its gamma-ray catches when they occur.
